Division 2-A state championship bowl at Cerritos College
It is with great sadness that we announce that longtime Star sports reporter and prep editor Loren Ledin has passed away. Loren covered the county for more than 40 years and was a remarkable writer, great reporter and a trusted and beloved colleague. He will be deeply missed.
The celebration continues for the Tritons. Pacifica went to the Chic-fil-a on Rose Avenue today to accept a check for $1,000 towards its championship rings from owner/operator Matt Ellenberg

Kind of a disappointing ending to a good game as the visiting student section chanted “where’s your passport?”, apparently at SJHS players. Administrators from both schools exchanged words. There was a charged atmosphere throughout the contest.

CI coach Adrian Garcia on the semifinal win at La Habra: “We’re just looking to... make sure that we get that title that’s been elusive for a very long time, every since our beloved Rogelio Juarez took over and built that foundation for us.”

At this rate, Pacific isn't just going to bring home the first state championship for a Ventura County public school, it's going to break St. Bonaventure's county record for biggest margin of victory in a state championship bowl.

Miller Aupiu may be the best high school football player in Oxnard history. Now his grandson is the third generation of the Aupui family to be offered a scholarship by USC. What comes next is up to the Pacifica High junior.

@CIFSS
final with a 37-10 win over host Crespi Carmelite in the Division 6 semifinals in Encino
Dmitri Young has been announced as Camarillo High’s new baseball coach. He’s a 13 year veteran of Major League Baseball and a graduate of Rio Mesa High.
Wow. Jaime Jaquez Jr. goes No. 18 to Miami Heat. Earlier in first round than expected. Sister Gabriela gives him a big hug. Great night for Camarillo Higj graduate.
The state champion Pacifica High football team will be honored with an on-campus rally on Wednesday and celebrated at the school board meeting Wednesday night. Plans to visit the city council and a parade are "in the works," per Pacifica principal Ted Lawrence.

Jaime Jaquez Jr showing he’s a winner. Camarillo graduate hitting big shots in overtime and has played entire game. And Bruins look like they are Elite Eight bound. Improbable run. And Jaquez is certainly the glue of the team.
Pacifica High LB Caleb McCullough knows the history. No Pacifica team has played in the
@CIFSS
final. No PVL team has won a
@CIFSS
football title. No Oxnard public school has won a
@CIFSS
title in more than 40 years. “It’s bigger than us.”

BREAKING NEWS: Ventura County will now allow teams from the county to play teams from adjacent L.A. and Santa Barbara counties, which now aligns with state guidelines. Good news for schools like Agoura, Oaks Christian, Calabasas and some Santa Barbara County schools.
Cautiously good news for Brandon Contreras of Camarillo High. The senior lost consciousness for a few minutes after taking a hard hit on a kickoff Friday night. He was transported by ambulance to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with a concussion. He was released at 11 p.m.
BREAKING NEWS: County's adjusted case rate is now 10.5 based on 7-day average and delay. It seems a certainty most sports will be good to go Wednesday, after weekly case rate data is posted noon Tuesday.
“These kids deserve it. They worked their (butts) off the whole year. That’s exactly what I want them to do in everything that they do for their whole lives. Now we’re bringing this championship back to Oxnard.” - Channel Islands boys soccer coach Adrian Garcia
David Soliz, among the county’s best and classiest high school coaches, is stepping down as coach of the Rio Mesa High baseball team. He will be missed.
Lot on the line tonight for Pacifica:
1. First section final
2. Playing to win school’s first section title, any sport
3. Playing to become Pacific View League’s first football section champ
4. Playing to become first Oxnard public school to win football section title since ‘72
Moorpark High is hosting 10 different teams from the county for their practices today, including the football teams from Camarillo and Hillcrest Christian. County pulls together!
Oxnard junior Val Gutierrez scored her first varsity goal in Wednesday night’s

Division 3 quarterfinal. Typically a fullback, she moved forward to wing and made it count.

Oxnard High guard Andrew Ramirez hit his 116th, 117th, 118th and 119th 3-pointers of the season tonight against Crean Lutheran, breaking the 30-year-old Ventura County record for 3s in a season set by Buena’s Jeff Oliver in 1989-90.
