Charter Oak school official: We will sign off on QB Matt Takata’s transfer to La Mirada

A Charter Oak High School official said Wednesday that the school will sign off on, aka not stand in the way of, quarterback Matt Takata’s transfer to La Mirada.

That doesn’t quite yet mean Takata is a full go for La Mirada. Whatever transfer paperwork the Matadores and the CIF Southern Section have to clear up with each other still remains. But this certainly is a big hurdle cleared.

La Mirada is hoping to have Takata ready in time for it season opener at home against Orange Lutheran on Aug. 25.
