The Gardena Serra Cavaliers pulled out a thrilling 26-23 road victory over the Notre Dame (CA) Knights in front of a raucous crowd in Sherman Oaks Friday night.

The first half was dominated by the defensive side of the ball as both teams struggled to produce. Notre Dame led 3-0 at the intermission.

The second half got off to a dramatic start when Serra forced a fumble on the opening kickoff after a crushing hit by the Cavaliers defender Malik Roberson.

Practice tempo has been hyped ALL WEEK. We've prepared to come out against Chino with a hard push up front in the trenches with both our offense & defensive line. Last year we suffered a lost to Chino for our first game.

Then getting knocked out in the 2nd Round of Playoffs by Muir High School. This time, our team mentality is going ALL OUT & giving it your all. Now that it's my junior year, I'm trying my best to lead my team with a hype mentality but a humble heart as well. We all worked so hard ever since the off season, now tomorrow will determine which team wants it more.

Practice has been good this week. We have all mentally and physically prepared ourselves for this challenge versus Notre Dame this week. Last year we lost our first opening game versus Notre Dame since 2007 and then we lost in the 1st Round of playoffs to Culver City. It hurt our team badly. We want to seek redemption and put everything we have on the field tomorrow.

Isaac Copeland is a name that many colleges recruiters didn't get to hear until this summer. I saac Copeland is a 6'9" class of 2014 power forwards that plays for Miller School (VA). Copeland didn't play much for his previous school, Ravenscoft (Raleigh, NC).

After last season, the junior baller still has much to prove. Although Copeland has a slim body, he has something most recruits his size lack, which is an all-around game. Copeland can play down low, and he has an excellent mid-range game. He is an absolute beast on defense and can become a really good shot blocker.

As I reflect back to the last 8 months I truly recognize the community that surrounds me. As we enter the season I can truly say that I am so fired up about the 2012 season, I can hardly wait to go out and enjoy some high school football. These past few months have given me the opportunity to work with some of the finest student-athletes and coaches in the CIF Southern and LA City sections.
