Not sure if this edition will run in the actual paper, so here it is.

SANTA ANA - Summit was able to overcome Santa Monica's first second-half charge in their CIF-SS Division 1-A championship game matchup Thursday at Mater Dei High School. The second was a different story.

Just finished writing on deadline - not too fun. But I probably am having more fun than Summit is right now, as the SkyHawks lost their second CIF championship game in the last three years. Free throws were the story, as Summit only made 10 of 20 while the Vikings drained 19 of 24.

Second quarter about to start.

Yep, its late and yep, deadline is going to stink because of it. But I'll try my best to keep up with the Division 1-A girls basketball championship game between Summit and Santa Monica. And the wireless signal is kind of sketchy as well. But we'll see. Tip in a few seconds.
