The Dinuba Varsity Baseball team has had better starts to their season.
So far this season, they have a record of 0-7 against their opponents. In their most recent outing against the Hanford Bullpups on March 21st, they lost in a landslide 11-1. The game ended in the bottom of the 6th, as they were mercy-ruled.
The Emperors’ record last season was 10-20 (.333). They finished the season in the Division IV Central Section playoffs but lost in the Quarterfinals to Monache in a 7-6 thriller.
They approach the rest of this season with heads lifted high because they have critical games in line against the league. They start the series against Tulare Western on the 26th away and on the 28th of March at home. The following week, they play Lemoore, who has the best record so far in the league, on the 2nd and 4th of April. They participate in the Fowler Easter Classic on the 5th of April.

The Dinuba Boys Golf team is off to a hot start to the 2025 season with a record of 3-2 (.600). It is a vast improvement from the disappointing 2024 campaign, which finished 6th in league play and failed to qualify for the Division 3 championship. This year’s team has 5 out of the starting 6 being returners from the 2024 season, led by a strong top 4 consisting of Senior Andrew Barajas and Juniors Boyd Van Dermyden, Nate Meraz, and JuJu Mendoza.
