Gavin Skyes also had three fouls in second quarter. MC kept him in the game though.

With 2 min left in 2nd. MC went on their run with Lindsey on bench . . Lindsey fouled out. Sykes finished with 3 fouls.

59-52, Riordan won’t go away…. 1:18 left, tho, not much time.

Meanwhile…. Trimborn has 26. Helluva player, I bet he was the last guy kept off JV.

And I bet this decision was mostly due to wanting him to gain lots of experience with near-unlimited playing time.

3 schools in 5 years.. yall sure about him? Jaden rasahda got called all kinds of things for this same behavior

No one is “sure” about any of these guys, and we’ve all said as much. This link is about a local FCS school who is being aggressive in the Portal with a bunch of guys, who for whatever reason, haven’t panned out at the FBS level. Maybe Jaden should jump on the Hornet Crazy Train. 😂🤣

Meanwhile, Trimborn has 21 for Serra. Definitely the best player on the floor…

btw, I’d say something about Riordan’s guys if their MaxPreps roster wasn’t a mess…. #14 has 13, that’s all. i got…

Serra pulls away a little…. 48-38 after 3.

Serra’s other big gets his 4th…. Trimborn back in, 2:35 left 3rd.

Serra’s finding a way anyhow… a couple steal and scores…. 37-29. 3:25.

Pacers 96-- NU QB Chad Elliot transfers to Grant and the Section mayhem begins challenging eligibility and Elliots true address...Elliot played for THE DPH and best memory he had 48 TD passes for Section champs

There was drama where El Camino a league team refused to play at Grant due to a gunplay incident around the campus days before game

Pacers went to El Camino instead and hung 80 plus on the Eagles...with running time

That following Alberghini was mercilessly ridiculed as a FB bully

Quickly, Trimborn gets his 3rd, takes a seat.

31-27 Serra.

26-25 Padres at the half…. some darned good frosh ball!

Trimborn gets 2nd foul, taken out. 20-18 Padres.

Tied at 17, 4:29 left in the half.

Riordan isn’t bothered much…. 15-14 Riordan after a quarter.

Theyve brought in the 6’5” guy now, Sam McReynolds… twin towers.

tied at 12 now…. Riordan ball, 1:21 left 1st.

has 10 of Serra’s 12.

That 6’3” guy is Will Trimborn…. and has game.

The Grant-NU football rivalry had just about everything you would want in HS sports.

Quite literally the greatest football rivalry ever in the SJS, IMO, at least of the CIF playoff era anyway.

Fittingly, the head-to-head record ended up dead EVEN. 16-16-1. Although the Pacers did win the CA tiebreak in the 1998 game, giving them a slight edge.

First game was played in 1973 and the most recent game played in 2013. 24 of the 33 match ups were league games (Capital Athletic, Metro) that often decided the league champion.

They met 3x in the postseason, with the Miners owning the slight edge, 2-1.

What made the rivalry so great -- aside from obvious differences between the two programs, their locations, and their fan support -- was that they were typically two of the best teams in the section, if not the two best teams, from the late 80's through the early 2000's.

the shorter of those two starts.

51-33 final…. on to the “A” frosh game.

I see Serra has a 6’5” dude on their freshman squad…. and a 6’3”.

In the games I’ve seen Sykes play, he has been terrific.

Long Beach State will enjoy having him, most likely for one year before he hits the portal…. I think he’ll dominate there, then see what he can get from the bigger NIL schools.

I thought very similar to your thought!!

They have those really nice new scoreboards now…. and they’re actually putting the indiv. stats up…

Oh, maybe I should mention the opposing squad…. it’s Riordan.
