LA MIRADA —
Erik Meyer can still remember the day that his parents told him that they were pregnant with their third child. It’s not a day that one typically forgets. Meyer was already standout quarterback at La Mirada High School, 16 years old and soon enough, would be bound for Eastern Washington and then the pros.How would he bridge a 16-year age gap?Once his little brother Tristan came along, he realized that the answer was simple: Football.“It was kind of a big shock to hear that,” Erik said. “But once I started watching him grow up, he was in sports and I just knew that he was going to be a football player.”Tristan did become a football player. Thanks, in part, to his big brother, he’s now the quarterback for the very same high school team that his brother once starred on and with the help of his brother, he’s prepping for the Matadores’ CIF State Division III-AA SoCal regional championship game, scheduled for Friday at 7:30 p.m. against Oceanside.

“I take nothing away from Chino,” Cantwell coach Matt Zamora said. “They played a very good game. We just have a knack of putting ourselves in holes, and sometimes you run out of time.
“It happened again today. Again, taking nothing away from them, it’s a result of some of our own actions. We need to stop doing that stuff.”
Cantwell rallied from a 10-point deficit in the first half to lead 51-49 early in the fourth quarter following a putback by Perkins. But Chino countered with a 3-pointer by Navar and an inside basket and two free throws by Custodio to lead 56-53 with four minutes to play.
