The decisions are made … for now … and Monrovia’s Ellis McCarthy picked Cal, as expected if you’re a reader of this blog, and Muir’s Kevon Seymour chose USC when they announced their college choices on live television during the U.S. Army All-Star Game.

Congrats to both of these kids! Pretty big-time stuff for the lil ol’ SGV.

Aram’s take: Well, it isn’t exactly breaking news when it comes to McCarthy, is it? Thank you to my sources, who as usual were spot on. Feels nice to have the HOMETOWN paper/blog beat everybody else (just don’t ask me what happened with Kevon). Anyway, it kinda reminds me of when FOX thought it was going to have Los Altos’ Brigham Harwell announce his decision on live TV and I put them in the outhouse by having it in the newspaper that morning (there were no blogs at the time). As I said before, I don’t believe anything until they actually sign on the dotted line in about three weeks. Kids are fickle. Nonetheless, hopefully this holds up for both of them.
