Congrats to Covina wide receiver Remontay McClain, who ran the fastest 100-meter time (10.34) in the nation on Friday at the state finals.
Can’t wait to see how Covina uses McClain this season. Like I said, if he can catch, the Colts shall be SCARY!!!!!!
Craig Cieslik has resigned as head varsity football coach at Bassett after just over a month on the job, according to a sources close to the situation.
The Olympians were reportedly down to 13 players during spring practice. Cieslik was hired in late April to replace Leon Ward. Cieslik was previously head coach at La Sierra High School for two seasons in 2007 and ’08.
Cieslik had scheduled Servite for next season, one source said, and was trying to secure a game with Dominguez.
Aram’s take: I’m speechless. I guess he wasn’t ready for the Five Points.
Sean Kennedy went 13-1 last year as a starter.
Last year’s starter Sean Kennedy missed all of spring ball after breaking his foot in baseball. All that did was open the door for sophomore-to-be Emilio Zertuche to impress coaches over the past month.
Is there a quarterback controversy? Saints coach Bill Zernickow says not yet, but he’s waiting to see how Kennedy progresses from his injury. Regardless, fans can expect to see plenty of Zertuche in the fall.
“It all depends on how Sean comes back,” Zernickow said. “Sean’s really good. It’s going to be fun. Competition at every spot is good.”
No matter who’s under center, Zernickow says the goal will be to get the ball to 6-foot-4 receiver Kevin Kolbeck.
Fans can see just how good San Dimas is at doing that by checking out the Saints in the Arroyo Tournament on July 10 at Arroyo High. That will be San Dimas’ only tournament appearance this summer.
Aram’s take: Word is that San Dimas looked real good throwing against Claremont on Thursday. No score was taken. But Zertuche is supposedly going to be the real deal. I’ve never heard of San Dimas having so much talent on the lower levels.
