The 2012 Narbonne squad fell short of getting to the CIF Open Division finals this year, but not short on talent and recruiting. Many argue that this is perhaps the best assembly of City Section players since the Crenshaw Team of ’09-’10. Among the talent are QB Troy Williams (UW Early Spring Enrollee),WR AJ Richardson (Cal Commit), LB Paulo Lepua (Uncommitted), LB Marquis "Red" Lomax (Uncommitted) and LB Keishawn Bierria (Uncommitted).
I had a chance to catch up with Narbonne SR OLB Keishawn Bierria over the course of the recent weeks.
Diamond Ranch HS defensive end Josh Buchholz (DE/2014) will be on many college recruiting lists next season. Buchholz stands 6'4" 250 and displays the type of athleticism that college coaches desire.

The best high school football athletes were on display at the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl. The game was played at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. Many of the recruits in the game have yet to declare their college choice and this game helped them gain exposure to college coaches and scouts.
Televised live on the NFL Network the Semper Fi All-American Bowl was a battle of defenses. With little time to prepare and develop offensive chemistry, both teams struggled to move the ball consistently.

Despite the loss of such a quality senior class , the 2013 California high school football season is in good hands with the return of so many first-rate ballers throughout the state. The teams featured in this year's bowl games will be loaded again.
It's different being a champion. It's a fraternity that can only be shared by those who have hoisted that glorious trophy. Last Saturday night at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA, it was Gardena Serra junior Adoree' Jackson who took home the title of CIF State Champion for the second time in 2012.
As a sophomore earlier this year, Adoree' won the CIF State Boys Long Jump title with a jump of 25' 1/2" and the closest jump didn't even clear 24 feet.
