If any Angel fans boo Shohei Ohtani when the Dodgers come to Anaheim, they are losers. He gave the Angels 5 years of his prime and won multiple MVPs. Angels failed to put a winning team around Ohtani and Trout. Boo Arte Moreno.

Tonight, LeBron James FINALLY passes Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list. Only took him 118 more games than MJ played, plus LeBron has scored about 3,400 more points from three than MJ, who played when the three wasn't yet emphasized. Congrats, King.
A lot of kids will play their last football game ever tonight. Your team not playing playoff games next week doesn’t make your journey less valuable. Go out tonight and play hard, have fun and take a moment to soak it all in.

High school football players on CA that I haven’t written much about: drop your film below. Working on a film room series for

Mission Viejo coach Chad Johnson on his defense, “the best part about it is that these are our frickin kids. No hired mercenaries or guys we brought in as seniors. Our guys from this community who have worked their tail off for 4 years.”

Former OC football coach Curtis Madden has passed away. Was Co-Head Coach at Dana Hills recently and an assistant at Mission Viejo. He played football at Kansas State and his son Tre Madden was a star at MV and USC. Sad news.

Jo Adell on the postgame birthday celebration for Ron Washington: "We had a throwback picture of him from one of his baseball cards on the cake, he got a kick out of that. He's such a motivator and such a great guy. I'm honored to go and play for him everyday."
@SportingTrib
Can we stop debating now? Mater Dei and St. John Bosco are better than any other high school teams in the nation. No out of state team is even close.

Attention C/O 2023 prospects in So. Cal: If you're a high academic guy looking to play at the next level, reply to this with your GPA and your film. Know a scout looking for scholar ballers.

Angels manager Ron Washington said that non roster invitee Miguel Sano has made the team. “He’s done everything we’ve asked him to do. He works his butt off and is very deserving of being on our roster.”

Angels 2020 lineup:
Joc Pederson
Mike Trout
Anthony Rendon
Shohei Ohtani
Albert Pujols
Andrelton Simmons
Justin Upton
Tommy LaStella
Jason Castro
Bench: Fletcher, Goodwin.
That's a top 3 lineup in baseball. Angels will be fun to watch.

Side note: they shouldn't charge students to attend CIF games. Capo student section is loud but much smaller than usual. Let the kids in for free and keep the stadiums full and loud.

Austin Overn just made the best catch I’ve ever seen for a high schooler. Running backwards full speed up the weird hill at center field and made a diving catch. Unreal athlete.
Foothill 4, Santa Margarita 4 in the bottom of the 6th.

St. John Bosco will play Mission Viejo in the D1 semifinals next week at Mission Viejo. MV coach Chad Johnson used to be on the Bosco coaching staff and things are less than friendly now between the two parties. Should be fun.

Coach Joe Wood (middle) with Jeff Veeder and Kurt Westling, the three head coaches in Aliso Niguel history. Was Coach of the Year in 96 and spent the last 16 years at San Clemente. Always fun to talk football with him before games. RIP Coach.
