Etiwanda running back Marcus Mason committed to Washington State after getting a recent offer from the school and taking an official visit to the campus last weekend according to Rivals.com and Scout.com. Mason ran for 1,623 yards and 15 touchdowns and is the second Etiwanda player to commit to a Pac-12 school. He joins offensive lineman Jamal Prater, who committed to Oregon over the summer.

Chino wide receiver/defensive back Promise Amadi went through a wild ride this past week, committing to Hawaii on an official visit this past weekend after making a soft commitment to New Mexico State the weekend before. The situation is detailed further in Clay Fowler's blog here.

Either way, the commitment makes him the second Cowboy player to verbally commit during the past month, joining Arizona State commit Quentin Pedroza - who is still getting attention from Utah and USC. The 6-foot, 180-pound senior was a second-team all-Sun utility selection, as he caught 46 passes for 790 yards and 10 touchdowns while running for another 503 yards on 50 carries and 14 scores. Amadi also had 30 tackles and five interceptions in helping the Cowboys to an 11-1 record and a Mt. Baldy League championship.

Straying over into Clay Fowler's territory a bit with this post, but Damien sophomore pitcher/outfielder Christopher Kohler verbally committed to USC yesterday according to his parents, Michelle and Richard Kohler. Kohler, who is a lefthanded pitcher and a centerfielder, gave his commitment after a visit to USC.

"Christopher has been a huge Trojan fan all of his life, so this wasn't a hard decision," Richard Kohler said. "Because of his age they can't do anything but send us mail and questionnaires. We visited there a couple of times, they offered and we accepted."

Kohler, who doesn't turn 16 until May 4, is one of the top Southern California prospects in the class of 2013, getting USC's attention during a showcase this past summer at the Dodgers' spring training complex in Glendale, Ariz. While USC was his first scholarship offer, Kohler was getting attention from almost every notable baseball school on the West Coast, most notably UCLA, UC Irvine, Cal State Fullerton and Arizona State.

Speaking of football recruiting, Bloomington Christian will be hosting a seminar by the National Collegiate Scouting Association at 7 p.m. on January 31 called "College Recruiting Simplified."

The keynote speaker for the seminar is Derrick Mayes, a former NFL wide receiver who played for the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks from 1996-2000, winning a Super Bowl ring with the Packers in 1996. Mayes, who attended Notre Dame, serves as the NSCA's Athletic Recruiting educational speaker.

People not affiliated with Bloomington Christian who wish to attend the seminar can contact Tiffany Menzione at (312) 624-7437.

After flying the job through the district, Miller High School opened up the search for its next head football coach to out-of-district candidates Tuesday to what athletic director John Romagnoli described as a lot of interest.

"We have calls and resumes coming in from all over," Romagnoli said. "It's been a pretty hectic response. In-state, out-of-state, high school, college. We have a lot of people interested in this job and for good reason. We have a new stadium and a lot of talent."

The position opened up in a bizarre manner November 10, as Jeff Strycula was removed less than 24 hours before the Rebels played Redlands East Valley in their season finale with the league title on the line as a reaction to a hazing incident involving several players. Miller was coached by Mike Farnam, who is Miller's head track coach, in the game, which it lost 21-7 to eliminate it from the playoffs.

As far as Strycula's replacement, Romagnoli said that the ad for the position would be posted until next Wednesday, with finalists and interviews being chosen and given shortly after the posting closes.

"There were a lot of loose ends that had to be tied before we opened the job," Romagnoli said. "I made it my duty right after we got back from winter break to get this process going and we'll work hard to get a new football coach in here."

Lance Ozier, a former standout on Fontana's national championship football team in 1987, resigned his position as Steelers football coach last Thursday according to Fontana athletic director Amanda Bentley.

"(Ozier) left for what he said were personal reasons," Bentley said.

Ozier took the head coaching job at Fontana in 2006 with the Steelers in the midst of a 19-game losing streak. That streak grew 10 more after an 0-10 season before Fontana won its 2007 season opener. Unfortunately, Ozier left Fohi with a sizable losing streak as well, as Fontana has lost its last 13 games dating back to Oct. 23, 2009, including an 0-10 record. Ozier finished his career with a record of 7-43.

"it was just the right time for me to go," Ozier said. "With a new principal coming in, I had certain ideas and they had certain ideas and from that, it was best for me to leave at this time. I am a Fohi guy through and through and I always will be. I enjoyed coaching here. I really wish we could have won more, but I feel like I left this program in a better place from where I found it."

Ozier will continue his job as a physical education teacher at Fohi until he assesses his next move, something that he's mulling over at this time.

"It's pretty early in the process, so I'm not exactly sure what the next step is," Ozier said. "I've never been in this situation before. I've been coaching for 16 years and if someone will have me, I'd like to coach somewhere again in the future."

Fontana will start its search for the next head coach in a week or two according to Bentley, allowing Ozier to explain his decision to his current players.

"We are giving him some time to speak to the players before we make the next step," Bentley said. "Then we'll be working hard to find our next coach."

Bentley also stated that the school has hired Lauren Fernandes and Cheryl Salazar to coach the swimming and diving team this spring.

Colton senior running back/defensive back Tyler Ervin made a verbal commitment to San Jose State this weekend on an official visit to the school, according to a text message I just received from Colton head coach Rick Bray. Ervin was a first-team all-Sun selection this past season, rushing for 1,436 yards and 13 touchdowns offensively while accumulating 34 tackles and three interceptions on defense.

The 5-foot-10, 167-pound Ervin chose the Spartans over offers from Utah State, Hawaii and Nevada. He becomes the second Yellowjacket to commit to a Division I-FBS school, joining tight end/linebacker Rodney Hardrick, who committed to Oregon.

Yucaipa star junior soccer player Kodi Lavrusky verbally committed to Stanford last week, according to a call received tonight from Thunderbirds soccer coach Sheila Huggins. Lavrusky is already the school's all-time leader in goals scored, having scored 92 after getting a hat trick in tonight's 4-1 victory over Redlands. She is a two-time All-Sun first-team pick, being named the Most Valuable Player as a freshman in 2009.

Chino wide receiver/defensive back Quinton Pedroza verbally committed to Arizona State Saturday according to this article by Rivals.com. Pedroza, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound athlete, was a first-team all-Sun selection at wide receiver, caught 54 passes for 1,078 yards and 16 touchdowns for the Cowboys this past season. Pedroza chose the Sun Devils over Utah and Utah State.

Los Osos High School will be holding its annual Martin Luther King Day Classic one-day boys basketball tournament Monday starting at 8 a.m., with several local teams dotting the nine-game schedule.

The host Grizzlies will play in the second-to-last game of the day against Ontario at 6:30 p.m. That game is sandwiched between two of the premier games of the day: Etiwanda -- the No. 2 team in the latest CIF-SS Division 1AA poll -- will play Ventura at 5 p.m., and Chino Hills will play Rancho Cucamonga in the last game of the evening, at 8.

The rest of the Classic will go as follows: Claremont vs. Alta Loma at 8 a.m., Monrovia vs. La Puente Bishop Amat at 9:30 a.m., Twentynine Palms vs. Miller at 11 a.m., Jurupa Hills vs. Glendora at 12:30 p.m., Damien vs. San Dimas at 2 p.m., and Santa Monica vs. Eastvale Roosevelt at 3:30 p.m.

Last weekend was the prestigous Doc Buchanan Wrestling Invtiational in Clovis. There were only two county teams entered in the event: Redlands East Valley and Sultana, and each brought home an individual champion.
REV's Chris Mecate (pictured above at the tournament) won the 135-pound weight class, defeating Bakersfield's Natrelle Demison 6-4 in overtime in the final, and defeating several ranked wrestlers earlier in the event. Demison entered the event ranked No. 1 in the state at 130 pounds.The placers at 135 included Demison, Mecate (ranked No. 4), third place Wiliam Fox of Gilroy (ranked No. 6), fourth place Shane Tate of Oakdale (No. 3), sixth place Nikkolas Pena of Selma (ranked No. 1 at 140) and seventh place Andrew Perez of Pitman (No. 5),
Sultana's Michael Gonzalez took home the title at 145, defeating David Meza of Buena Park 9-5 in the finals. Gonzalez was ranked 10th at 145 pounds before the event, while Meza was sixth at 140.
The only other placer from the county was REV's Taylor Rippy, who was sixth at 171 pounds.

Barstow annouced the resignation of Jose Rubio Monday. Rubio, the Aztecs' coach the last three seasons, led Barstow to the CIF-SS Eastern Division championship game in 2008 and to the playoffs in 2009 before a 1-9 record this past season.

"I'm spending more time with family -- it's as simple as that," Rubio said. "I have five kids, with the oldest 14 and the youngest 3, and my wife needs help."

Rubio was best known for the 2008 run, as the Aztecs went 10-4 and advanced to the Eastern Division final before losing a classic 31-27 battle with Perris Citrus Hill on a windy, frigid night. Rubio ended his three-year reign with a 19-17 record.

"It was just time," Rubio said. "Football is such a time commitment and I can't do anything halfway. I am going to wait until some of my children are old enough to do their own thing and until the younger ones realize why Daddy is gone. But until then I'm not coaching."

Alta Loma has hired former Bloomington Christian coach Joe Szczepanski as its next football coach according to an e-mail I received Monday afternoon from Alta Loma principal James Cronin. Szczepanski, who was the head man at Bloomington Christian the last three seasons and the defensive coordinator at Alta Loma from 2004-07, replaces Jose Fuentes, who resigned after losing all 20 games that he coached the last two seasons.

Szczepanski, who teaches at Alta Loma, compiled a 13-18 record in his three seasons at Bloomington Christian, taking the Ravens to the playoffs in 2009. Alta Loma made the playoffs in three of his four seasons as an assistant, as the Braves lost in the first round of the playoffs in 2004, 2005, and 2006.

"I'm happy to be back here," Szczepanski said. "It was tough to teach here at Alta Loma and travel to Bloomington Christian to coach, so I'm looking forward to being on campus with these kids and really getting things started. There's a buzz around campus and I want to take advantage of it."

Szczepanski has a formidable task in front of him, as the Braves have a 24-game losing streak dating to 2007 and play in a brutal Baseline League. But the coach, who was also an assistant at Etiwanda and Montclair, is eager to begin the task at hand.

"We know we have a tough job, but we feel that we can pull it off," the 42-year old Szczepanski said. "I believe in being aggressive and that's exactly how we are going to approach this."

After a banner postseason in which he ran for nearly 800 yards and eight touchdowns en route to helping his team to a CIF-SS Central Division title, Colton running back/defensive back Tyler Ervin.is getting more attention on the recruiting trail.

Ervin, a first-team all-Sun utility player, has recently picked up offers from Wyoming and San Jose State to go along with previous offers from Nevada and Utah State. Ervin has a couple of official visits planned, as he's heading to Nevada on Jan. 14 and Utah State on Jan. 21.

"Everyone is even right now," Ervin said. "I'll know some more after I take some visits and see what everyone has to offer."

Ervin is also talking to UCLA and Arizona State, although neither school has offered. He indicated that those schools would vault to the top with an offer.

The Redlands East Valley Winter Baseball Camp got a couple of high-profile alumni visitors Wednesday, as Atlanta Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson and Angels pitching prospect Tyler Chatwood dropped by the camp for a question and answer session with the 8-14 year old campers.

Hanson, a 2004 graduate, and Chatwood, who graduated in 2008, answered questions and signed autographs for the 146 campers in attendance -- a 50-person upgrade from the year before according to REV baseball coach James Cordes.

"It was a great event and the kids were thrilled to see Tommy and Tyler," Cordes said. "Any time you can get successful alumni like that to come back and help out its a great thing. I thought it was a big success."

The day camp, and the celebrity appearances, aren't over at REV. Today's installment of the two-day camp will feature former major league player and Angels broadcaster Rex Hudler. Hudler will give a speech to the campers around 11:30 a.m. today.

"The kids don't know Rex as much for being a player because he played in a different generation, but he's one of the best speakers out there," Cordes said. "I'm very interested in hearing what he has to say."
