Nobody was hurt and the building was unoccupied when the fire started in the kitchen of the 49-year-old eatery about 3:30 a.m. Later in the morning, owner Louis Liu said he doesn’t know how the fire started. The kitchen appears to be destroyed. Cost estimates are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair. Officials continue to investigate the incident. Residents who consider the diner a cultural icon stormed city hall this past March to protest a decision by the owners of the property, Rich Development Co., to replace the diner with a McDonald’s. Because of the traffic concerns expressed by residents at that meeting in the form of a petition, the La Mirada Planning See CARRIAGE HOUSE page 6 Tracy High students with boxes of food items for U.S. troops overseas.

By Brian Hews Students at Tracy High School, with donation drive help from Faye Ross Middle School in Artesia and MacArthur Elementary School in Downey, packed over fifty boxes with food items at Tracy High this past Tuesday to be sent to troops overseas. Pat Alviso, who works for Military Families Speak Out and Veterans for Peace said, “This is a result of the hard work of every home room in Tracy. They have boxes in their homerooms and the teachers ask them for donations, they really get them pumped up about it. All of the students also write personal holiday cards to the soldiers.” Pablo Vega, Activities Director with Tracy, described the long address forms that are used for shipping, one for each box they send out. “The students fill out an address form for each soldier or for each general location. The form is placed on the 'if it fits it ships' USPS box and sent off.” “Its amazing how much you can put in the boxes,” said Alviso. Boxes include canned goods, dry goods, beef jerky, sausages, hot cocoa, Cup-of-Soup, Slim Jims, and the everpopular red vines licorice candy. The group sends the boxes to either one soldier or one soldier who will then give them out to several soldiers. Jeff Green Principal at Tracy High told HMG-CN, “Pat started this program six years ago and we picked it up and ran with it. We not only get support from our stu- dents but from all Faye Ross homerooms, Faye Ross has supported us for three years. McArthur has also been a great supporter and we always get items from ABCUSD personnel.” “Its very gratifying,” said Green, “every year we get at least one letter from a soldier saying it was great to hear from the states, thanks for your support.” Green had a son deployed in Afghanistan four years ago, so the group sent boxes directly to him during that time. “My son became Santa Claus for a day,” said Green. Faye Ross is heavily involved with families of troops that have been deployed that are called “Blue Star Moms.” The boxes are sent out and eventually get to soldiers in the field. “That’s where the food is most welcomed,” said Green. “My son was saying when he was out in the field, the cans of Chef-Boyar-Dee Ravioli were going for $20 bucks apiece.” Green, Alviso, and Vega thought the boxes might come in under the target of 50, but after the packing they were actually at 52.

Their website is veteransforpeace.org During the regular November meeting of the Artesia City Council, City Manager William Rawlings presented what could have been one of his shortest but most compelling reports ever delivered. “I am happy to report that my Staff has completed the Priority List adopted by the City Council last Feb.10, 2014. Included in that list was the original 13 priority items, but we added 7 more. Some of them are long-range, and I expect to include them in the January meeting for the 2015 list of priorities.” Rawlings added, “We will also be showing you photos of the individual light poles and temporary sidewalks projects now going on the northern part of town.” His report drew immediate praises and See ARTESIA page 6 Commerce Retail Center Meetings Scheduled for Dec. 11 By Brian Hews The City of Commerce recently released a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the proposed Commerce Retail Center Project. The DEIR will circulate for community review until Monday December 22, 2014. During this time, community and business members can review the DEIR and submit comments on the document. The 13.16-acre project site is located at the intersection of Washington and Atlantic Boulevards. The project site is bounded by Interstate 710 to the west, Washington Boulevard to the north, Atlantic Boulevard to the east, and Sheila Street to the south. The proposed project consists of the removal of the existing commercial and industrial uses on the project site and the development of a 142,511-square-foot commercial retail center. The mix of proposed uses and build- See RETAIL CENTER page 6 Smaller incisions, bigger possibilities Typical lengths of incisions required for most procedures Robotic surgery = 1 cm Traditional surgery = 12–14 cm Smaller surgical incisions mean faster recovery. At Lakewood Regional Medical Center surgeons using robotic technology need only 1 cm incisions so procedures are less invasive and may lead to better outcomes. It also means reduced pain and scarring, shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to normal activity. Getting you better, faster.

The La Palma Police Department received calls about a car colliding with a wall at around 7:51 p.m., Sgt. Raul Morales told HMG-CN. The late model grey Honda slammed into the block wall killing Rosales instantly. Three hours later firefighters were still working to cut Rosales out of the mangled wreckage. No other cars were involved in the crash. Rain was thought to be a factor as the streets were wet from Tuesday’s rain. Crash scene at Sandpiper and Moody in La Palma. It took firefighters more that three hours to extricate Kevin Rosales, 19, of Buena Park from the wreckage. REMEMBER WHEN YOU GOT YOUR PAPER ON THE PORCH? ng.. i c u d Intro . FRONT PORCH DELIVERY opening of an art exhibit “Peace on Earth: Visions of Love, Joy and Tranquility” at the La Habra Art Gallery in La Habra, California. Journalists and artists in Southern California joined hands to vigorously support the global protests emanating from the brazen and unsolved killings of journalists in the Philippines. “We’re saying ‘No’ to violence and ‘Yes’ to justice, peace and love,” said Mat Relox, best known for capturing in canvass the exotic and distinct lifestyle of his people – the peace-loving Mangyan tribe in Mindoro. He is joined by fellow artists Boi Sibug, Vics Magsaysay, Rafael Maniago and Therese Sabino among others. Special guests included first FilAm Emmy-awardee Jess Espanola for his animation work as assistant director for The Simpsons. Fully-covered by FilAm news photographers and journalists, the art exhibit organized by La Habra artist Luz Spanks and FilAm writer Nimfa Rueda will continue until Jan. 3 next year. Part of the proceeds will go to the campaign that launched a memorial event and traveling photo exhibit last Nov. 22 at the Filipino American Community in Los Angeles (FACLA). Called a “Day of Remembrance,” the memorial event marked the 5th anniversary of the infamous Ampatuan Massacre named after the politically-powerful Ampatuan clan - the principal suspects in the gruesome murders where more than 30 journalists formed part of the 58 people ambushed on that fateful day, Nov. 23, 2009 in a remote village in the Southern province of Maguindanao, Philippines. Although former provincial governor Andal Ampatuan and his son who bears his name are in jail, the horrible tragedy plus the separate occasional killings of radio and print journalists in that country disturbingly remain unsolved with no formal convictions up to this very day half a decade ago. In the Philippines, the National Press Club Bldg. is draped in black to demonstrate the journalists’ message: “We will never forget!” Guaranteed delivery of Los Cerritos Community News to your front door.

Government officials who must file include employees, appointed officials, consultants, candidates running for local elective offices, and others. HMG-CN has reported on several politicians who violated the policy by filing false Form 700's including Deputy Legislative Secretary Martha Guzman-Aceves who works for California Governor Brown. The current system mandates officials fill out several “Schedules.” One asks what stocks, bonds, and other interests the official has in business entities. The schedule simply asks for the name of the business entity and general description of the business. Another asks what investment income and assets of businesses that they own, again requesting only the name of the business, no contact names. “Increased transparency is essential to protecting public resources, preventing corruption, and restoring public trust,” said Gatto. “This legislation will bring disclosure requirements into the 21st century. These reforms will shed light on business dealings of political insiders and give Californian’s greater access to the information they deserve.” Concerns over the “Form 700” documents required by the Fair Political Practices Commission were brought to light by the Bay Area News Group, which noted that “California hasn't significantly updated its financial disclosure laws for elected officials in decades, and the forms that officials must fill out require only the vaguest information… Elected officials also need not disclose exactly what their businesses do or who their partners are.” Gatto’s legislation would address these concerns by modernizing the Form 700 disclosure document in four specific ways: (1) Clarifying the reporting ranges for investments, property, and income to be less broad, and more specific, providing tax payers a better picture of the financial interests of an elected official; (2) Requiring elected officials to disclose who their business partners are; (3) Requiring elected officials to disclose what exactly their businesses do; and (4) Requiring elected officials to report the number of times they excused themselves from a vote because of a conflict of interest. “AB 10 will increase transparency by making the financial disclosure of elected officials more clear,” said Gatto.

This is no time to relax, however, as the coming holiday season means more packages and valuable items in cars that will be irresistible to thieves (six reported this past week). Remember these crime prevention shopping tips: When shopping, travel with a companion if possible, don’t wear expensive jewelry or take lots of cash if you don’t need to, and never leave items visible in your car whether it’s parked at a mall or in your driveway (a thin sheet of window glass will not stop a determined car burglar). Thieves can’t steal what’s not there, so don’t even give them a chance.

After the loss of measure Y in the recent elections, this topic has turned crucial for the city. In order to increase revenues to pay for increased service levels and improve quality of life for the city residents, a specific “Economic Development Plan” will be formulated and adopted. One plan calls for the development of idle properties that will include the construction of multi-level parking structures. Another plan calls for making the business area more retail competitive, increasing employment, which in turn will increase the city’s sales tax revenue. Another priority Rawlings identified was development of the city’s management team. He wrote that, “the key to the success of any organization is the professionalism and proficiency of its management team as key problem solvers, innovators and leaders of the city. They should be appropriately trained, encouraged, compensated and held accountable.” Rawlings reported on examples of completed projects on the priority list including the South Street Improvement with the recent installations of the “Welcome to Artesia” luminous monument. Also cited was the landscaped center island road divider and bike friendly path which have been put to good use for public safety and environmental aesthetics. “We are on the right path,” commented councilman Ali Taj, “let’s keep the momentum going.” ARTESIA Continued from page 1 accolades from the City Council. “Mr. City Manager, we expected a lot from you and you passed it with flying colors,” remarked Mayor Pro Tem Miguel Canales. Mayor Tony Lima said, “That is a great achievement and I thank you and your staff.” Council Member Ali Taj reiterated the mayor’s commendation and appreciation. For her part, Council Member Sally Flowers said, “I seldom make this kind of remark but this is exemplary work.” Some of the most challenging in the list but otherwise “completed” included the following: Priority one was staff submitting a balanced budget with cuts in several areas. Staff had informed council that without a balanced budget that did not reduce levels of service, all other priorities would be unsustainable. Another priority was to have a budget with full and accurate cost allocation to different departments. The city wanted to accurately allocate resources to city programs and projects, so the true cost of programs and operations had to be known. Costs were ascertained and distributed to each department to show the true cost of those departments. The city has arranged for payments at targeted quarters of the calendar year, reducing the need for a larger volume of unassigned funds, thus improving the financial stability of the city. The city must keep almost $1.6 million in cash on hand to pay for expenses at the beginning of fisRETAIL CENTER cal year.

Rotary assisted with two projects held in the week prior to Thanksgiving. The third project will be held prior to Christmas. Rotarians donated $1,000 in turkeys, canned goods and other food items to the Good Sam Pantry at Beatitudes Church in La Mirada. Rotarians purchased the supplies with the generous support of the Walmart Neighborhood Market, located at Imperial Highway and La Mirada Boulevard in the Crossroads Shopping Center, on the morning of Thursday, Nov. 20. The food was distributed to needy families later that afternoon by volunteers at the Good Sam Pantry. Rotarians also arranged for the purchase of $750 worth of turkey dinners from Polly’s Pies located at Beach Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue in La Mirada. The food was served by youth volunteers to hundreds of local residents at the annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner at Foster Road Elementary School. The project was a joint effort by La Mirada Rotary, Kiwanis, Living Faith Church, Calvary Chapel and Polly’s Pies. A Holiday Shopping Spree for needy children will be sponsored by the Rotary Club on Wednesday, Dec. 10 at Marshalls in La Mirada. Rotarians work in conjunction with local elementary schools to identify children in the community who are in need of assistance during the holidays. The children, assisted by adult volunteers, will select clothing items they need from lists provided by their parents. “Rotary has been very active in La Mirada for more than 50 years,” says club president Sean Bracey. “Rotary has gained additional momentum locally in recent years, and we plan to increase our level of activity as we go forward.” “Rotary is made up 1.2 million neighbors, friends, and community leaders who come together to create positive, lasting change in their communities and around the world,” adds Bracey. “Our many different occupations, cultures, and countries give us a unique perspective. Our shared passion for service helps us accomplish the remarkable.” Rotary Club of La Mirada assists with a variety of community service projects throughout the year. The group meets on Wednesdays at 12:30 p.m. at the Elephant Bar Restaurant, 14303 Firestone Boulevard in La Mirada. Individuals interested in learning more about the Rotary Club are welcome to attend a club meeting. Additional information is available at https://www.facebook.com/Rotarycluboflamirada.

While the Monsoons are still the favorites, along with La Mirada, three area league teams feel they have a shot of moving closer to the top. Gahr is once again seeking its first San Gabriel Valley League crown since 2010 while Valley Christian is primed for a big season with its most experienced teams in several years. ARTESIA PIONEERS 17-11 overall last season, 5-7 in the Suburban League, tied for fourth place, lost to Gladstone 50-41 in the Division III-A second round playoffs. Head coach: Ray Walker (third season, 26-30) Team’s record previous five seasons: 5977 Last time missed the playoffs: 1981 STARTERS LOST: Jon Campbell (7.9 points per game last season), Korey Joseph (4.9 ppg.), Brandon Paris (7.4 ppg.) STARTERS RETURNING: SR Dontae Smith (11.3 ppg.), SR Akil Williams (4.1 ppg.) OTHERS RETURNING: SR Chris Pendley Head coach Ray Walker hoped his team’s fast start last December would continue once Suburban League action began. But the Pioneers finished the season 5-9 after winning their first six of the season and 12 of their first 14. Walker said the early confidence of winning games helped prepare the team for league. “It was important because there had not been a winning season since 2007,” Walker said. “Any type of success that we can have we appreciate it. We wanted to make sure we could get [those wins]. It was important to win those couple of tournaments and start the season out correctly.” Artesia graduated half a dozen seniors and two other players who would have returned, are not back. So, Walker has to build around three returning players including senior Dontae Smith, one of the league’s top players. But Walker is more concerned about the improvement from senior Akil Williams, who was more of a defensive player last season but could be another double-digit scorer to complement Smith. “This year we’re going to count on him a lot more to score,” Walker said of Williams. “He’s a key defensive player for us and this year, he’s going to be a starter.” Walker admits his team might struggle this year with all of the young newcomers, but is insistent that the future looks bright. That future begins with, among others, junior Semaje Chatman, junior point guard Martin Villeses, sophomore Bryan Hughing, sophomore point guard Alex Linao and sophomore Devion Smith, a 6’4” post player who was the freshmen most valuable player. Since its last league title, Artesia hasn’t finished higher than fourth place. “I don’t know how many wins we’re going to end up getting,” Walker said. “I think we’re going to be competitive. I don’t think we’re going to have enough to blow people out. But I also know we’re THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART 1 By Jason Ooi HMG-CN Film Critic By taking a page out of what its young adult movie adaptation predecessors Twilight and Harry Potter did before it, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1turns itself into an ever so blatant atJASON OOI tempt to milk every WHITNEY HIGH SCHOOL last penny out from the franchise. It’s insultingly obvious that this episode of the Hunger Games series is merely just filler, as nothing of importance really happens throughout the movie until the very end. The newest addition to The Hunger Games series takes place right after the events of Catching Fire, on the eve of a full out civil war in Panem. It follows the propaganda war that takes place between the Capitol and Peeta, and District 13 and Katniss, both presumed to be dead. The film is essentially on the propaganda making process, as the leaders of District 13 try to provide each other district a symbol to rally around. The film is aimless, devoid of the action that drew audiences to the first two films of the series, and honestly, completely pointless. There is no reason for an entire film to be made for the events that span this one. Still, the film maintains some entertainment value, as it’s composed of surprisingly great acting, and a somewhat interesting premise, more refreshing than the usual formula, which has thankfully not been beaten to death with this film. Despite this unbeaten horse in the form of premise, the movie still feels completely campy. The love triangle be- tween Katniss, Gale, and Peeta, is, at this point, completely hackneyed and tiresome. Mockingjay also manages to take a darker turn, which I feel has positively affected the series as a whole by turning it away from the young adult flick that alienates the older audience. With the inclusion of Julianne Moore and more of a presence coming from Philip Seymour Hoffman to supplement the already-brilliant work of Jennifer Lawrence, Mockingjay manages to keep a film that revolves primarily around deceit and dialogue interesting. Lawrence gives a surprisingly matured performance, as she is forced to come to terms with the albeit necessary, evils that she has indirectly caused. She evokes a lot of solid emotion without being reduced to helplessness. Josh Hutcherson, in what little screentime he received, is amazing as a tortured, haunting Peeta, who steals every scene that he is in. In this sea of great, effective performances however, lies the outlier: Sam Claflin, who plays fellow victor Finnick Odair. It’s disappointing how little he was used in this movie, and I really wish he was given more of a script to work with; to seem like an actual character, rather than just a source of hollow aphorisms. Despite all of the negatives, it is certain that Mockingjay has paved the way for the true finale of the series. It was pointless, but did effectively make the final conclusion of the series seem more desired, and for all the right reasons. For those still on the fence about seeing the movie, who don’t care as much for the series, it’s a negligible film; you could wait for the finale next year, save $10 and two hours of your life, without missing a single thing. going to be talented enough and have enough to be in every game.” CERRITOS DONS 14-13 overall last season, 7-5 in the Suburban League, third place, lost to Arroyo Grande 65-41 in the Division II-A first round playoffs. Head coach: Jonathan Watanabe (14th overall, 186-177) Team’s record previous five seasons: 7168 Last time missed the playoffs: 2007 STARTERS LOST: Sham Shah, Kelechi Ukoha (10.7 points per game last season) STARTERS RETURNING: SR Henry Buycks (8.4 ppg.), SR J.J. Rivera (4.7 ppg.), JR Evan Leonard (17.1 ppg.) OTHERS RETURNING: SR Andrew Bui (3.3 ppg.), SR Dante Gilmer, SR Brian Kim, SR Jordan Wong, JR Daniel Kim (3.6 ppg.), JR Brandon Yoon Longtime Cerritos head coach Jonathan Watanabe picked up a winning season after consecutive seasons of under .500. But the Dons have the potential to win more games and get close to the 20win mark as nine players return, including three who have been on varsity since they were sophomores. Cerritos was swept by Mayfair and La Mirada and split with Norwalk in which both of those games were decided by a combined seven points. “We dropped the one over here to Norwalk that I didn’t figure we would do,” Watanabe said. “But again, you have to be ready every game. You just never know what’s going to happen from year to year and game to game. You have to be prepared for everyone.” The heart and soul for the Dons will be junior Evan Leonard, who has emerged as a serious threat to any league team, as well as any of Cerritos’ other foes. Watanabe says Leonard still has work to do on the defensive end but is improving in all areas and is just a ‘workhorse’. Even though Mayfair and La Mirada has all of the transfer players, Leonard has the potential to be the league’s most valuable player. “It’s his job to keep working so he is the best player in the league,” Watanabe said. “With other teams bringing players in, it just raises the bar, which actually helps players. I think our players are more motivated to get better because they know they have to be better.” But it’s not going to be the Evan Leonard show all the time. Seniors Henry Buycks and J.J. Rivera could easily average 10 points a game, or more as the Dons will be using their size to their advantage this season as they will force teams to play at an up-tempo pace. That has been the team’s focus since last spring. Watanabe says he can go 10 or 11 deep and probably has the deepest and most talented team in his 14 seasons. He adds that senior Andrew Bui is a defensive stopper, senior Brian Kim gives the team a post presence and everyone will play significant minutes. “In general, we go from a young and inexperienced team to an older, veteran team within a matter of one season,” Watanabe said. “We have all juniors and seniors for the first time in… I can’t even remember. We have nine returners and some good, quality guys coming up. We’re ex- See PREVIEW page 12 LA MIRADA KIWANS CLUB SPONSORS A HOLIDAY SHOPPING SPREE FOR NEEDY CHILDREN Students from Elementary Schools in La Mirada enjoyed a morning of shopping for clothes and shoes at Sears in Whittier. The event was sponsored by Kiwanis Club of La Mirada. Photo courtesy LM Kiwanis Club. On Thursday, December 4, fortysix students from various Elementary Schools in La Mirada enjoyed a morning of shopping for clothes and shoes at Sears in Whittier. The event was sponsored by Kiwanis Club of La Mirada .and chaperoned by members of Kiwanis, Ebell Women’s Club, and the Key Club at La Mirada High School. Each child purchased $100 of clothes and shoes from funds provided by Kiwanis and community friends. Sears Store awarded special discounts for the purchases. The Norwalk-La Mirada School District provided transportation to Sears and back to the schools following the breakfast. Following the shopping spree students were escorted to Ruby’s in the Mall to enjoy a breakfast of pancakes and juice donated by the restaurant as a special Holiday reward. Kiwanis Chair Skip Ricarte organized the event and stated, “It is a joy to see the happy faces of the children as they make their purchases.” Kiwanis President Pete Dames was on hand and said, “This annual event is one of our Club’s most enjoyable and rewarding programs. Our chaperones from the High School and the community have a ball helping the students to select their purchases.” Need and Ad? 150,000 Readers Every week!

It’s just a matter of can we get to the potential of where we could get to? “If we put the work in between now and the time league starts, and we play as a team and we’re unselfish, doing the things we need to do, we’re definitely capable of knocking off anybody making a long run,” he later added. “But there’s a big ‘if’.” GAHR GLADIATORS 15-12 overall last season, 7-3 in the San Gabriel Valley League, tied for second place, lost to Palos Verdes 78-77 in the first round of the Division III-AA first round playoffs. Head coach: Ricky Roper (fifth season, 7245) Team’s record previous five seasons: 9951 Last time missed the playoffs: 1997 STARTERS LOST: SR Cory Chavers, Malachi Hoosein (24.9 points per game last season) STARTERS RETURNING: SR Gregory Carlyle (11.7 ppg.), SR Jeremy Carlyle (12.3 ppg.), SR Darrell Harris (8.1 ppg.), OTHERS RETURNING: SR Andrew Weber, JR Evan Anderson, JR Justin Smith, SO Marvin Bragg Once again Gahr had a season in which it hovered around .500 as head coach Ricky Roper saw a lot of inconsistency despite having Malachi Hoosein score close to 25 points a game. He said the Gladiators played some special games but didn’t have a special season. This year, he hopes the team will be more consistent as the Gladiators lost just one senior from last season, which was Hoosein. “We just didn’t get it done,” Roper said. “We were playing our best basketball REGAL WEST CONCRETE TO ADVERTISE CALL 800-901-7211 at the end of the season and we honestly felt like we were going to make a run. It was a very disappointing way to end the season, especially when you look at Brea Olinda, which went to the finals of our division last year and we beat them in a December tournament. Inglewood went to the semifinals of Division I-AA and we beat them. “I really enjoyed the team last year,” he later said. “So it was disappointing that the season got cut short because we were having a lot of fun. We were working hard.” One bright spot came towards the end of the season when Gahr gave Downey its lone San Gabriel Valley League loss. But he hopes the vast experience his team has this season will be enough to bring home a league title. Senior brothers Gregory and Jeremy Carlyle, both of whom had great offseasons, will be the leaders as both have the ability to get close to 20 points a game and, according to Roper, are just as good as anybody around. But the team is loaded with senior Darrell Harris and sophomore Marvin Bragg expecting to be emerging stars. Roper says both are very key to the team being very versatile with Bragg being someone people will talk about. Gahr will have eight seniors on the team with half being varsity rookies. “Malachi was a great competitor and he really worked on his game,” Roper said. “He played [on the junior varsity team] as a sophomore. He kept us competitive for a couple of seasons. But he’s the only guy we lost. Hopefully we’ve learned from last season.” Gahr’s schedule will be stacked again with its tournament co-hosted with Cerritos ending on Saturday, an appearance in both the tough North Orange County Championships and the MaxPreps Holiday Classic in Palm Springs and single games against Price and Lawndale on the docket before even starting league action, which will be up for grabs again. “It’s still a pretty good league,” Roper said. “I know Downey and Lynwood will have good teams this year. Paramount is always tough. I’m not sure about Dominguez and Warren.” JOHN GLENN EAGLES s#ONSTRUCTION 'RADINGs$EMO s3TONE0AVING s"LOCK7ALLS 2ESIDENTIAL#OMMERCIAL 562.865.1500 REGALWESTCONCRETECOM ,IC Your Own Little Slice of Heaven Now offering Cremation Services.

While the nine seniors gladly welcomed the rare opportunity to play a playoff game, head coach Wesley Phillips wished his team had performed much better in the regular season given the high number of upperclassmen. “I know we played some tough games and we may have earned it that way because we showed some respectability,” Phillips said. “But as far as the record is concerned [it] was not deserving.” Now, the Eagles are facing a major uphill battle with only two returning players with senior Daniel Morales clearly the goto player as he reached double figures 17 times and scored a career-high 29 points at Bellflower. Although senior Alan Solorzano scored 15 points all of last season, Phillips is counting on his returners. “Their leadership is very important and they have to act as such,” Phillips said. “You have to walk the walk and talk the talk. We have a lot of youth here and if they don’t lead them, there’s no telling what’s going to happen.” Glenn will have 10 players on varsity this season with senior Javier Avalos, junior Nathan Lopez, who was the junior varsity most valuable player last season, and sophomores Hugo Aguiano, Sean Espineda, six-footer Cruz Gomez and Josh Verduzco the top varsity rookies. Phillips is not counting this as a rebuilding season but has high expectations and believes this is a year in which the team can actually take fourth place. “It’s a challenge, but all of this youth that we coming and all of the players we have on varsity now should be on [the junior varsity team],” Phillips said. “But for some reason, I’m kind of optimistic about what could happen. But I was that way last year, too. For some reason, I think our role players will be exactly that.” NORWALK LANCERS 11-17 overall last season, 5-7 in the Suburban League, tied for third place in the Suburban League, lost to Colony 66-42 in the Division II-A first round playoffs. Head coach: Jim Webster: (13th season, 85-106) Team’s record previous five seasons: 6377 Last time missed the playoffs: 2012 STARTERS LOST: Dante Foster (6.7 points per game last season), Rashaad Penny (9.4 ppg. In 17 games), Alex Vidana (11.1 ppg.) STARTERS RETURNING: JR David Suarez (5.7 ppg.), JR Keno Valdenor (8.3 ppg.) OTHERS RETURNING: SR Ishmael Townsend, JR Omar Tinoco, SO Jordan Volpei Despite Norwalk finishing six games under .500 after a season in which it had a winning mark for the fourth times in the prior five seasons, veteran head coach Jim Webster still saw a silver lining. The Lancers played nearly the first third of the season without two of their leading scorers, who were still involved with the football team, and went 4-6 in those games. Once Suburban League action began, the Lancers started off 1-4 with all five games being decided by three points or less. “Last season, we missed Rashaad Penny and Dante Foster for the first six or seven games,” Webster said. “So when they came in, we had a transition period. Even though we struggled the first round of league, we had four games that were [lost by] three points or less. We played really well down the stretch and we played well in the first round. We just couldn’t close games out.” This season, Norwalk will be young again with only two seniors, Ishmael Townsend, who scored 66 points, and newcomer Mark Roca. That doesn’t concern Webster, who says his team will be able to handle the ball and handle pressure. Norwalk will be trying to build its game inside out and will have to make outside shots in order to stay in its games and/or win them. Juniors David Suarez and Keno Valdenor will have to be the leaders as they are projected to get the majority of the shots. If they’re on their game, they can reach double figures. But look for sophomore Jordan Volpei to be the highest percentage shooter. The top varsity newcomers are all juniors-Greg Deed, Emmanuel Lateju and Rudy Tellez. “Hopefully we’re competing for third,” Webster said. “I think Bellflower has improved, from what I hear. It’s always tough; every game is always tough. Who knows how your kids show up? If we can keep improving and peak at the right time, we’ll get a good run in league and maybe upset someone at the top and finish in the top three.” VALLEY CHRISTIAN CRUSADERS 11-17 overall last season, 2-6 in the Olympic League, fourth place, lost to Crespi 57-37 in the Division IV-AA second round playoffs. Head coach: Bryan Branderhorst (ninth season, 118-106) Team’s record previous five seasons: 5581 Last time missed the playoffs: 2011 STARTERS LOST: Brian Bischoff (3.9 points per game last season) STARTERS RETURNING: JR Stedmon Bryant (10.1 ppg.), JR Ronald Massey (5.9 ppg.), JR Jordan Mitchell (6.6. ppg.), JR Vaj Rice (10.9 ppg.), OTHERS RETURNING: SR Kyle Westra, SO Johnny Johnson (6.7 ppg.) For the fifth straight season, Valley Christian failed to reach .500 and in three of the past four seasons, the Crusaders finished in fourth place in a very tough Olympic League. But V.C. advanced to the playoffs and for the second time in the past three seasons, moved on to the second round. “You kind of are what your record is in the end,” said V.C. head coach Bryan Branderhorst. “I’m not going to say we’re better than our record or anything [like that]. But coming off of last season, we took some lumps. We are in a very good league and it will continue to be a very good league this year. It’s very thick with talent at the top.” V.C. had two seniors on last season’s team and will have one this year in Kyle Westra. Still, Branderhorst feels his team is experienced even though on paper, they are young 10 juniors and three sophomores on the squad. Juniors Stedmon Bryant and Vaj Rice will be pacing the Crusaders but look for fellow 11th graders Ronald Massey and Jordan Mitchell to score a little bit more to give the Crusaders probably their best starting rotation in quite some time to go along with the deepest and most athletic team Branderhorst has ever had. This will be Bryant’s and Rice’s third season on varsity. “We’re excited about our two lefty’s coming back, one inside and one outside,” Branderhorst said of Bryant and Rice. “Both are all-league guys for us last year. This year they’ll be big contributors for us again.” Branderhorst says Massey will surprise some people as he has developed his game and will be tough to stop. He added that this season will be a fluid situation with a lot of guys coming from the junior varsity team. Sophomore Aaron Purnell will play a lot of minutes and can play inside or outside and is also an aggressive rebounder.
