talks about his 98 yard touchdown and his 9 catch, 232 yard receiving night with QB Jacob Chambers in Rancho Cucamonga’s 39-21 win over Vista Murrieta
There are 3 Baseline League and 3 Chaffey district teams still alive in boys basketball. And there will be 2 Inland Valley teams in the state finals. Wow!
Incredible run by
@RCHSBasketball
in the playoffs this year. Consider the Cougars played 8 playoff games (SS and state), 6 on the road and won the first 7 before season ended tonight. They had trips to Palmdale, Inglewood, Hesperia, Visalia, Bakersfield and Santa Ana.
To all those Alexander Mattison fans out there in San Bernardino: friends of mine who are big-time Boise State fans sent me this photo of him meeting fans after Las Vegas Bowl.
Chaffey boys basketball falls to Stuart Hall in CIF State Division V game, 56-45. Chaffey w/ great fan support, considering it was noon Fri in Sacramento, but what an advantage for Stuart Hall to have a student section. Wouldn’t it be nice to have state finals in south sometime?
Awesome to hear the news that
@weddlesbeard
is back in SoCal, this time with the Rams! I’ve followed and appreciated his career ever since covering him at Alta Loma High
As a reporter, I try not to root, but wouldn't it be fun for local fans to have Etiwanda, Chino Hills, Rancho Cucamonga and Colony win tonight and have Chino Hills at Etiwanda and Colony at Rancho Cucamonga Tuesday with berths in the state finals on the line?

So there we have it, a dream come true for Inland Valley boys basketball fans: Chino Hills at Etiwanda in Div. I, Colony at Rancho Cucamonga in Div II Tuesday for the right to go to state finals.
One coaching legend, Mater Dei’s Kevin Kiernan (right) shares a laugh with a coaching legend in the making, Etiwanda’s Stan Delus after Kiernan’s final game, a 76-58 loss to Etiwanda
I will be covering the CIF-SS Division 3 football championship game tonight: Yorba Linda (13-0) at Upland (9-4). Game is a later start: 7:30 p.m. Check back for updates.
I’ve now moved to the Etiwanda gym where Kennedy Smith was presented with her McDonald’s All-American Game jersey before the Eagles’ game with Bishop Montgomery
@McDAAG
Congrats to Etiwanda girls basketball! Back-to-back state Open Division champions with a 60-48 win over Archbishop Mitty. Mitty was No 1, Etiwanda was No 3 nationally so we’ll see how it looks in the final poll
Congrats to Aquinas HS legend Zoe Casas (
@zcangels6
) on winning Florida State’s first national title in softball tonight! Last time I saw her in person she was setting the state career hits record! She had a big double that keyed comeback tonight and made a great catch in RF!
Chino Hills’ 2 point conversion try that came up short with 48 seconds left in a 20-19 loss to Ayala. CH contends Ayala had 12 on the field. I only count 11 in this video.
I’ve been told one or more of my videos from last night’s Colony - Northview game will be shown tonight as part of

I forgot to send this out last week. This was at Etiwanda, I’m sure a favorite of
