The Upland Chargers Pop Warner Pee Wee football team have something to celebrate this week.

Three students involved in the Upland Pop Warner Football and Competitive Cheer "Little Scholars" program, will be competing for the "Pop Warner Lil Scholar" scholarship.
Out of six contenders, eighth-graders, Matthew Castro, Mitchel Davis and Matthew Zahn were chosen to compete.

Each student maintained a 4.0 grade point average, served the community through various activities and demonstrated a list of leadership roles outside and inside school.
The Little Scholars program is active in 42 states and six countries. Pop warner requires their players to perform well in school in order to participate. The winning scholar will receive an academic scholarship.
The Upland Police Department is warning residents to click or get a ticket during this holiday season.
Officers will be out looking for anyone not properly restrained as part of the "2009 Holiday Click it or Ticket" mobilization today through Nov. 30.
Given the years of public awareness campaigns and hundreds of "click it or ticket" highway signs, no warnings will be given out.
California has a seat belt usage rate of 95.4 percent, which still means more than 1.5 million people in the state are not buckling up, according to a news release from the Upland Police Department.
Properly restrained drivers, passengers and children have a 50 percent better chance of surviving a crash than an unbelted occupants.
More than 175 local law enforcement agencies statewide and the California Highway Patrol will be participating in this year's "click it or ticket" mobilization.
Funding for the effort was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
