Utah defensive backs Coach Sharrieff Shah was at Compton Centennial High School yesterday, and that wasn't the only surprise for rising 2014 DB Denzel Fisher. "We just opened spring practice today and I didn't even know they was coming," he told CLA yesterday.

Fisher was held out of practice with a sore back, but that didn't stop the Utes from extending an offer to the rangy 6'2 170 defensive back.

The Dorsey High School varsity baseball team can now declare themselves as back-to-back Coliseum League champions.

This time around though, the pennant is all to themselves, as the Dons overcame a rusty start and busted loose with a big 6-run fifth inning en route to a 10-0 shutout of Fremont, which shared the title with them last year, and has yet to notch its first win of the season.

Watch Michael Lazarus (MLB/2014) from Berkeley HS (CA) in this junior highlight video. Lazarus is a solid 6'3" 220 and plays with an aggressive nature and has the natural instincts of a true middle backer.

Lazarus moves well in space and can change direction instantly. Another asset is his ability to shed blockers. With great size and strength, he's able to consistently shed bigger offensive lineman and get to the ball carrier.

Burroughs loaded the bases on Hoppy once, and drew leadoff walks in consecutive innings prior. But as it all unfolded in front of everyone attending the game at Arcadia High School's Giambrone Field today in a monster Pacific league showdown between the host Apaches and guest John Burroughs Indians from Burbank, the southpaw reliever Jonathan Hopkins, popularly known as "Hoppy" to the Apache faithful en masse, overcame all the pressure to deal four no-hit shutout innings and earn the win in relief.
