So really my decision came down to Long Beach Poly and IMG. I just thought IMG would prepare me better for the next level. Chris Weinke is the coach there. He won the Heisman, led them to their undefeated season and he wore number 16.

Hopefully I'll go to a couple games at Florida State next year.

I'd love to play in front of my family and friends in Long Beach but this was the best decision for me.

It's that time of year for aspiring college level athletes looking to improve their craft. The 2014 high school football season is in the rear view mirror and the all-star bowl games have run their course. For exceptional athletes like Oregon commit Travis Waller, National Signing Day marks the next step on the athletic journey.

Quarterbacks like Waller aren't born overnight. Hard work, dedication and the relentless pursuit of greatness pave the way to success. Quarterbacks serious about reaching the ultimate destination should seek out expert coaching with Steve Clarkson.

Mission League leaders Chaminade fought back from a 7-3 halftime deficit to overcome a rugged Loyola team. Loyola dominated a well coached first half with running back Daniel Tolbert scoring a touchdown on Loyola's opening drive.

Loyola almost went ahead by two touchdowns but Chaminade's defense held firm on an intense 4th and 1 inside the red zone. However, with under a minute left in the first half, quarterback Edward Sias led Chaminade on an impressive two-minute drill that resulted in a field goal.
