Steve Clarkson has been around the game of football in Los Angeles, CA for a long time. Clarkson led Woodrow Wilson to three LA City Championships during his high school days, then went on to start at San Jose State University, where he holds several passing records to this day.

One name that you will hear more of in the Southern California area is Ricky Town. The 2015 quarterback from St. Bonaventure in Ventura, California stands 6-foot-4 and 190 lbs. and is picking up interest rather quickly.

"I have offers from UCLA and Miami (Fl.). Stanford, Alabama, Arizona State and Washington are also showing interest," Town said. That is a great list to boast for any quarterback, especially this early in the stage for a 2015 recruit. He's just patiently waiting on more offers, but he's going out there to try to earn them.

You can't hold back the competitive nature of a great athlete. Along with his competitive fire, the desire to win and to be the best is what fuels Serra High School's Adoree' Jackson.

"I know once I get out there nobody is going to touch me," the junior says as he talks about competing in the long jump. "During basketball season I went out there and jumped 22 feet and I only took 8 steps."

This is why they call him "Adoree' Knows."

"It was fun. Every year's a new challenge," Stanley Johnson told CLA Sports yesterday.

Winning state championships should be fun and the Mater Dei Monarchs are beginning to build a monopoly on post-season celebrations in Sacramento. Stanley Johnson led the Monarchs to their 10th CIF State Championship under Head Coach Gary McKnight last week.

Believe it or not, Mater Dei wasn't projected to be a championship-caliber team this season.

Jamardre Cobb is the real deal. On one hand, Cobb can take a lick and keep on ticking, as proven by the recent 15 stitches he received above his eye after colliding with a teammate during a 7on7 game. On the other hand, he's known amongst the high school and college football world for being the one who delivers the blows.

Today's opening day of the NFA 7on7 passing tournament at Newbury Park High School was well worth the journey. Several of the country's top 7on7 teams were on display. The Gamebreakers, who are coached by former USC Trojan and NFL defensive lineman Chris Claiborne, in addition to the Snoop Dogg All-Stars, B2G Sports and Ground Zero were a few of the top teams who competed on Saturday.

The early games brought excitement to a crowd full of spectators that included parents, fans, players and media, but things got a bit more exciting once the stadium lights were turned on.

Boise State offered quarterback Jalen Greene (QB/2014) today while the junior and his father strolled the campus. Greene was excited to see the business school. "That's what I'm going to major in," he told CLA Sports today.

The reigning CIF State Champion Serra Cavaliers have a stacked 2014 recruiting class. It's no question that football teams live and die by the quarterback and Jalen Greene lived to the fullest for his team last season. Greene led the Cavs to the CIF Division III State title and finished the season with over 3,500 yards of total offense.

Keep your head on a swivel if you've got the ball in your hands and Glen Ihenacho is playing defense. The Gardena Serra 2014 DB has a tendency to lay wood and you'll get to see him live in-action on a high school field in Southern California this football season.

In the meantime, watch Glen ball out. The younger brother of Denver Broncos safety Duke Ihenacho is an instant impact player and moves around the field like a linebacker in a defensive back's body.

(Arcadia) - Cleanup hitter Dillon Rezendes came up clutch twice with RBI singles, and Yucaipa, scoring all three of its runs against two outs, also benefited from excellent infield defense and likewise pitching by lefty Taylor Pelissero to etch out a 3-1 win at Giambrone Field in a second round game of the Babe Herman Tournament.

There's track speed, and then there's football speed. On the track, 2014 recruit Joe Mixon runs a personal best 10.92 in the 100M, but when you see him in pads it makes you ask yourself whether or not he's faster on the field.

Mixon has a nose for the endzone and gets there by any means necessary with the ball in his grasp. CLA spoke with the nation's top high school running back who currently holds 38 official scholarship offers.

"The ones I was most excited about were Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Ole Miss, Florida State, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, USC and UCLA," Mixon told CLA Sports.
