Robert Morales began covering prep sports in the greater Long Beach area in 2007. When a local football coach asked him how he felt about reporting on preps after many years of covering boxing, auto racing and various other sports, he replied, "Hey, if I'm going to cover prep sports anywhere, I'm glad it's this area because of the level of athletics, the intensity displayed by the athletes and coaches and the support of the community."

I cannot believe, for the life of me, that Long Beach Poly are only managing 10 points in the first half. I told the players during warmups, if you don't ring it up 49-0 at halftime, you will not win the Pac-5 this year.
Even if Poly rallies back and dominates in the 2nd half, I will officially write the Jackrabbits off from contention.
I can't believe it. I told the Poly players that if they do not lead by 49-0 at the half, I do not expect them to win the Pac-5. Even if the Rabbits take over in the 2nd half, I will officially write this team off from contention.
