"Maximus Brown who is my all around player has performed very well for us both on offense and defense, handling the ball as he did well on the court." The last time we played Fallbrook was similar of the same game but it's hard to beat the same team over and over when the players know each other and Fallbrook has missed lots of shots along with a lot of turnovers, they're a talented squad and played well, it's good to get the win."

By David A. Willauer-Contributing Writer-2-18-20-Oceanside High School-Oceanside, CA: The 11th seed Falcons of Scripps Ranch improve their record 14-10 behind 15 points by Andy Manso, Grant Norberg's 12 points and 10 by Gabriel Pennington as they defeated the 6th seed Pirates of Oceanside by a 52-43 score. The Falcons will host Canyon Crest on Friday, February 21, 2020 at 7 PM.

Anyone have any news on Rancho Verde? After having a great season they got hit hard by some players transferring out at the end of the semester.

Joe McNabb, who has served as DC for the past 40 years under Kevin Rooney, has officially been named the new head coach at ND. There were many applicants as expected but McNabb was the best and most obvious choice. This is great news since hiring McNabb essentially means a continuation of the Rooney era.

Clemson's elite junior day is being felt all the way across the country in Southern California. Saturday St. John Bosco wide out Beaux Collins committed to Clemson and in the past hour Corona Centennial defensive end Korey Foreman committed to the Tigers.

Foreman is the number ranked junior in the country by rivals.com in the class of 2021 national rankings, Collins is ranked 22nd. The two are the highest ranked juniors in the state of California in that same 2021 Rivals 100.

Collins will play with his 2019 state championship winning quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei at Clemson, who signed in December and has already enrolled.
