I love telling dad jokes but I don’t have any children. Does that make me a Faux Pa? submitted by /u/BakerWaker1999 INGLEWOOD — The Inglewood football team closed the regular season with some starters, including quarterback Lincoln Jahn, sitting out the final game in Week 9. Then came a Week 10 bye ahead of Friday’s CIF-Southern Section Division 2 opener against Huntington Beach. “I don’t like sitting out,” Jahn said. “Hate sitting out. I was eager to back on the field.” Jahn jumped right back into the mix, helping Inglewood jump out to a big lead, before holding on for a 44-35 first-round win over Huntington Beach. Inglewood (10-1) will visit Bay League rival Palos Verdes in Friday’s quarterfinals. Jahn completed 13 of 19 passes for 255 yards and four touchdowns. Three of them came on Inglewood’s first three possessions (one apiece to Andre Williams, Amir Nickerson and Allen Wilson). The Sentinels also scored on their fourth possession, a 3-yard run from Semaj Welch for a 24-0 lead. “We (the offense) flowed great in the first half,” Jahn said. “It helped us get up really, really early to where it put us in just a situation where I just have to manage the game and not go be a game-changer, like I would usually do.” The game, which was trending toward a blowout, never really made it there thanks to Huntington Beach (10-1) quarterback Brady Edmunds. After a slow first half, the Ohio State commit, took advantage of some situations in the second half, outscoring Inglewood 26-14 in the second half. However, despite decent numbers (26 of 45 for 379 yards and three touchdowns), it wasn’t an easy night for Edmunds. He was harassed all night by Inglewood’s pair of Division 1 defensive tackles Elija Harmon (Oklahoma) and Myels Smith (Texas A&M). He was sacked four times and forced into hurried throws several other times. “We noticed they didn’t really play against a lot of good D-Lines during the season,” Harmon said. “So as we’re watching film, we notice like (Edmunds) he’s kind of just sitting back there and that’s where he’s dangerous. We couldn’t let him do that and that’s something we reiterated all throughout the week.” In the second half, Inglewood built a 36-9 lead on a 16-yard touchdown from Marlon Watson. In the fourth, Edmunds connected with Dylin Bruce for a 35-yard touchdown, followed by a 3-yard score by the quarterback, cutting the deficit to 14 at 36-22. Watson added a 24-yard touchdown run to give the Sentinels a 44-22 lead, but the Delta League champion Oilers responded with a 63-yard touchdown pass from Edmunds to Skylar Robinson and the final score came with 1:50 left with Edmunds connecting with Kye Crump for 14 yards, making it 44-35. “Fatigue and rust is always a factor,” Inglewood coach Mil’von James said. “But we had some very efficient practices. We worked on a lot of things, a lot of mental things, not so much the physical aspect, and I think the physical aspect is the one thing I was kind of concerned about, but the first half they showed what they could do physically. “Attrition is always an issue for us because we’re such a small team and that kind of reared its head in the end. We were trying to get some bodies off the field and we gave them some late points that I wasn’t too happy with. They have some offensive weapons and they do good things offensively, but I just didn’t think that they’ve seen the team speed, team physicality that we bring to the table.” Robinson had nine catches for 178 yards and Bruce had six receptions for 94 yards. Williams finished with six catches for 149 yards and two touchdowns for Inglewood and Watson rushed for 197 yards on 26 carries and two touchdowns. NORWALK — The El Toro girls volleyball dropped a heartbreaking match in five sets to Westridge, 21-25, 26-24, 25-21, 22-25, 15-13, in the CIF-SS Division 5 final Friday night at Cerritos College. The Chargers (22-11) were seeking their second CIF-SS title and their first since 2021, but instead it was the Tigers who won their first championship since 2006. El Toro coach Gus Culver thought momentum was on his team’s side after it won the fourth set and forced a fifth set. “Unfortunately, we had opportunities, we just couldn’t really build on some of the chances that we got, which was a credit to them,” Culver said of Westridge. “They were playing great defense, and the ball kept coming back over the net. And neither team could really spread by more than a couple points. So … you know, at the end, it was close.” El Toro went up 11-8 in the fifth set after a kill by middle blocker Liz Njoroge. Westridge coach Jenna Wong immediately called a time out for a moment to regroup. “I think we were just a battle-tested team, and we knew that we had more in us,” Wong said. “We knew that we had been in this situation, and we have seen ourselves be successful. And I think that really showed, even when we were down 8 to 11, you know. We were just never say die, and that has been the theme of this team. “All through playoffs it’s like, it’s our time. It’s our time. We have done hard things, we deserve to be here. And just believing in that with every fiber of their being has been really great to see.” The Tigers (22-7-5) rattled off three consecutive points after the timeout, which forced Culver to call a timeout for El Toro. Westridge went up by two points after an attacking error by El Toro and a kill by Bennett Thein. Later in the set, an ace by Jolene Lee gave the Tigers set point and then the Chargers misplayed a ball into the net trailing 14-13, ending their shot at the CIF title. “I thought it was a pretty evenly-fought match and, you know, it’s unfortunate that we were the team that had to lose,” Culver said. Thein had a match-high 35 kills, Misk Youssef added 14 kills and Chloe Sim chipped in with 10 kills for Westridge. The Chargers also had three players with double-digit kills. Lindsay Kieth had a team-high 19 kills and 20 digs, Elli Hirosumi tallied 17 kills with 23 digs and Njoroge finished with 10 kills. Senior setter Sophie Nigro recorded 48 assists and 13 digs for El Toro, which will continue its season in the CIF State playoffs that begin next week. “I know it’s a lot of volleyball and you guys don’t want to think about it right now, but, you know, we’re back in the gym on Monday and we’ll find out where we’re playing on Sunday,” Culver told his players. “Back in the gym Monday and back to playing on Tuesday.” Why don’t Germans tell any jokes? Too many forms to fill out. submitted by /u/bartropolis Undercover Fontana police officers mistaken for ICE, leading to chaotic protest Undercover Fontana police officers serving a narcotics search warrant were met by a crowd that believed the operation involved ICE, according to authorities.

But then a series of consequential plays ensued, all favoring the Eagles: a fourth-down stop, a quick touchdown, a pick-6 seconds later and a forced fumble. When it was over, Chaminade had come away with a 20-17 victory over the Sea Kings. The Eagles (8-3) will play Pacifica of Oxnard in the second round. Pacifica defeated Bishop Amat, 56-43, in another first-round game Friday. “It was just an unbelievable effort by our guys tonight,” Chaminade coach David Machuca said. “We’ve been in so many situations this year where we have been down late in games, and so many times this year we’ve made plays and been relentless and just kept playing.” Corona del Mar (8-3) took a 14-7 third-quarter lead on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Luca Di Napoli to Nolan Scott. Di Napoli entered the game in the second half, replacing starter John Annett, who played the entire first half. The Sea Kings then took a 10-point lead on Mateo Akerman’s 44-yard field goal. After forcing the Eagles to punt, the Sea Kings took possession with 10 minutes, 41 seconds remaining in the game and were in a position to run several minutes off the clock with a long drive. Chaminade forced the Sea Kings to punt and took possession at the Corona del Mar 32 with just over five minutes remaining. The Eagles scored on a 35-yard pass from Jeremy Mellalieu to Andrew Cordero. Corona del Mar was called for holding on the ensuing kickoff and had to start its drive on the 10. On third-and-11, Elijah Williams intercepted Di Napoli’s pass and ran it in for a 15-yard touchdown, giving the Eagles their first lead of the game. The Sea Kings got the ball back with three minutes, 42 seconds remaining and drove to the Chaminade 29, within field-goal range of Akerman, who had kicked one from 44 yards in the third quarter. But on third-and-7, Hudson Manning delivered a blind-side hit on Di Napoli, forcing a fumble, which was recovered by Chaminade’s Thomas Rhoads. From there, the Eagles ran out the clock. “That is one that definitely got away from us,” Corona del Mar coach Kevin Hettig said. “We had problems with their front line all night. They’re physical up there. They are a very physical team.” The only score in the first half came on a 2-yard touchdown run from Nolan Scott, capping an 80-yard drive for the Sea Kings. The low score was attributable to sacks, interceptions, penalties and mistakes proving costly for both teams. Annett was sacked three times, twice by Hudson Manning. With less than a minute left in the half, Corona del Mar faced a third-and-4 from the Chaminade 16 when Annett was sacked by Manning for a 10-yard loss. Corona del Mar missed a 41-yard field-goal attempt on the next play. Annett was also intercepted earlier in the second quarter by Bryan Narcisse on a third-and-17 from the Chaminade 29. Chaminade also fell victim to its own miscues. On a third-and-goal from the 1, the center snap sailed past Mellalieu and rolled 35 yards before being recovered by the Sea Kings. Troy Merriman, Max Brengel and Trejan Nixon recorded sacks for the Sea Kings. Support our high school sports coverage by becoming a digital subscriber.

Newport Harbor won its first outright league title since 2004. El Modena came one, last-second loss away from being 10-0. Jordan Spigarelli and his defense made sure the Sailors added to their highlight reel. Spigarelli passed for 278 yards and three touchdowns and Newport Harbor’s defense made two key stops on fourth down as the host Sailors rolled to a 28-7 victory. Jackson Stremick caught two touchdowns and Ryder Godbold recorded two sacks to help power Newport Harbor (9-2) to its first playoff win under third-year coach Matthew Burns. El Modena (9-2) entered with the higher Orange County ranking at No. 15 but the No. 21 Sailors won their seventh consecutive game and played like a team seeded fourth in Division 3. “We’re not surprised at all,” said Spigarelli, who has 32 touchdown passes this season. “We believe fully in our team. We watched film on El Modena this week and we’re like ‘They’re very, very good but we definitely have a shot. We’re going to go after them.’ “ “The offense is firing,” he added, “and the defense is shutting everyone down.” Newport Harbor advanced to the quarterfinals next week against the Villa Park-Apple Valley winner. The Sailors took a 28-7 lead in the middle of the fourth quarter on Spigarelli’s 9-yard touchdown pass to Stremick. The duo’s second touchdown connection came after an interception near mid-field by Shane McKibbin on a double-pass. The Sailors mostly contained dual threat quarterback Ethan Sorenson and held the Vanguards to their lowest scoring output. Linebacker Jett Blauwkamp and linemen Owen Baldikoski and Theo McFarland contributed to the defensive effort. “Defense played great,” Burns said. “Our guys are pretty resilient.” El Modena cut into Newport Harbor’s 21-0 lead by starting the second half fast. After a long kickoff return by Hayden Luong, Sorenson scored on a 6-yard run. El Modena almost recovered an onside kick following the touchdown. Later in the third, the Sailors stopped the Vanguards on a fourth-and-2 from the Newport Harbor 17. “If we couldn’t matchup (in the secondary), we were going to struggle,” El Modena coach Matt Mitchell said. “They’re athletic. They got options and the quarterback is good.” Newport Harbor, the Epsilon League champion, led 21-0 at halftime behind Spigarelli. The senior launched a 41-yard touchdown pass to McKibbin with 59 seconds left in the second quarter. Coming out of a timeout by Newport Harbor, McKibbin beat two defenders to cap an 80-yard scoring drive that began with 2:56 left. Earlier in the second period, Spigarelli led Newport Harbor on a 90-yard scoring drive. He capped an eight-play march by lofting an 11-yard touchdown pass to Stremick, who made an over-the-shoulder grab for a 14-0 lead with 7:24 left. Newport Harbor took a 7-0 lead on the first possession of the opening quarter. Spigarelli punctuated a 75-yard scoring drive with a 14-yard touchdown run. He finished the first half 10 of 11 passing for 196 yards, and with 56 yards rushing. Newport Harbor’s defense followed the touchdown run by Spigarelli by stopping El Modena on a fourth down from the Sailors 13. Newport Harbor beat El Modena for the first time in four meetings between the storied programs. The other games were 2025, 2024 and 1991.

It didn’t matter. Dana Hills beat Westlake 28-17 in the first round of the CIF Southern Section Division 4 playoffs at Dana Hills High. The Dolphins (9-2) will host top-seeded Chino Hills in the quarterfinals Friday, Nov. 13. Despite only having the ball for less than a third of the game, Dana Hills’ offense seemed to always get a big play in crucial spots. Three of the Dolphins’ four touchdowns were on plays of 50 yards or greater and two of them were on third downs. “We’re not holding anything back,” Dana Hills coach Tony Henney said. “You go home if you hold anything back.” Carter Anderson and Jack Norman connected for two long touchdowns for Dana Hills from 89 and 61 yards out. Norman caught five passes for 181 yards and Anderson threw for 219 yards with three touchdowns. “We game plan those plays all week in practice and it’s good to see it work in the game,” Norman said. Westlake (7-4) kept the game competitive due to a Herculean effort from running back Erik Green. The Warriors were playing with their third-string quarterback and Green ran for 231 yards on 38 carries with a touchdown. “What a player,” Henney said of Green. “I knew right away after the second series that they were going to give him the ball almost every play because he wasn’t playing defense and he usually does. I said, ‘Oh man. We are getting a heavy dose of this guy tonight.’ But our defense made some stops when we had to.” Dana Hills jumped to an early lead against Westlake which ended up being critical. Anderson connected with Norman for an 89-yard touchdown on Dana Hills’ first offensive play. A few plays later, Andrew Williams had an interception for Dana Hills which set up a 9-yard touchdown pass from Anderson to Colin Ridgley to give the Dolphins a 14-0 lead just nine minutes into the game. “It was huge,” Henney said. “I thought we needed a spark early, otherwise with their running game, we were going to give them confidence. They found it anyway but scoring early was big.” Those points were the only points the Dolphins would score for 27 minutes of game time. Green ran for a 7-yard touchdown in the second quarter for Westlake and Owen Rockabrand Kneizeh threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Cal commit Charles Davis to enter halftime with a 14-14 tie. Late in the third quarter, Anderson threw a 61-yard touchdown pass to Norman to give the Dolphins a 21-14 lead. Stanford commit Gabriel Goroyan made a 33-yard field goal for Westlake to cut the lead to 21-17. Goroyan is the top-ranked kicker in the state according to Chris Sailer Kicking. With three minutes remaining in the game, backup quarterback Caden Marquis ran for a 50-yard touchdown for Dana Hills to put the game out of reach for Westlake. Eduardo Castellano led Dana Hills in tackles. Ryan Blake and Noah Carter combined for a sack for the Dolphins. Dylan Bruns had a sack for Westlake and Trevor Zdenek had multiple tackles for a loss. Henney previously was the head coach at Westlake from 2015-2016 before being fired after just two seasons. “I’m just happy to get to keep coaching these kids,” Henney said. “I told them, ‘my history with Westlake is 10 years ago and has nothing to do with you guys. I want to keep coaching you guys so we have to keep winning.’ The kids really played hard for each other.” |
