Wide receiver Chase Farrell committed to Stanford over Northwestern as a high schooler in the Class of 2024. But after a redshirt season in Palo Alto, the Wildcats claimed a recruiting victory by winning him back via the transfer portal.

Farrell, a 5-foot-10, 180-pounder, was a high-school track star, winning All-State honors. He ran the fastest 100-meter dash by a freshman in 2021. His final high school personal record in the 100 was a blisteringly quick 10.38 seconds.

He held 11 total offers out of high school including Oregon, Washington and Utah.

There’s no stopping No. 1-ranked Ontario Christian, which is 11-0 after victories over Windward 81-54 and Bishop Montgomery 80-40.

Sierra Canyon is 5-0 and Jerzy Robinson had 31 points and 17 rebounds in a win over Bishop Gorman.

Etiwanda (4-4), trying to get its mojo back in Hawaii, lost to Long Island Lutheran 88-79.

Lots of top teams are headed to Arizona for this week’s Nike Tournament of Champions.

Tommy Leach has resigned as football coach at Jurupa Valley. He will be replaced by Cade Sparks, a former quarterback at Summit.

Carson Palmer is returning to high school to be the head football coach at Santa Margarita. He was a volunteer freshman quarterback coach for the Eagles last season when his son played quarterback for the team.

In another big coaching announcement, Malcolm Manuel has resigned after four years as football coach at Narbonne, which won the City Section Open Division championship but was also placed on probation and made ineligible for next season’s playoffs after seven ineligible players were discovered.

Stephen Barbee has resigned after seven years as football coach at Long Beach Poly. That opens one of the top public school coaching positions in the Southland.

Dave Ramos, the football coach at Schurr for 10 years, has resigned.

Garfield has named former quarterback Patrick Vargas as its replacement for Lorenzo Hernandez. Vargas served as the Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator, is a teacher on campus and has lots of support. He’s 33 and is getting his dream job after years of training under Hernandez.

Here's a nice recap of this past season's flag football results and impact from CIF-SS commissioner Mike West:

The inaugural Girls Flag Football Championship was an excellent event hosted at Fred Kelly Stadium located on the campus of El Modena High School. Girls Flag has been the fastest-growing sport these last two years, and it looks like there will be continued growth next year.

It is exciting to watch, and if you think the sport is very similar to traditional football, think again. The strategy required to be successful in Girls Flag is quite different than conventional football. If you have not done so already, I strongly recommend you check outsome games next year.

144 teams in 5 Divisions began this year’s playoffs, crowning five champions.

Division 1 saw two powerhouse programs face each other as Orange Lutheran outlasted Newport Harbor 20-18 in an exhilarating game.

In Division 2, Northwood defeated Trabuco Hills 31-17.

Division 3 had Troy High School coming back from an early deficit to beat San Clemente 33-32 in an early morning thriller.

Santa Monica defeated Fullerton 28-6 in the Division 4 matchup, and Antelope Valley took care of business against Northview 28-0 in Division 5.

Congratulations to all the teams who competed in our first Girls Flag FootballChampionships!!!!
