Fight Forces Fontana Forfeit

BS Ranch Perspective:
See what happens when the students act like babies or Prisoners they get treated as such, and have privileges taken away. the loss to the Redlands team will hurt as Redlands besides Rialto's Eisenhower High, is their other Rival school, and it leads to good competition, not today not this week and well that is too bad!!
So So Sad!

Fight forces Fontana forfeit

The Press-Enterprise

Fontana has agreed to forfeit against Redlands after Friday's scheduled Citrus Belt League game was canceled in the wake of a race riot at the high school, league president and Yucaipa principal Bernie Cavanaugh said Monday.

Six students were arrested, and more than 500 were involved in the incident hours before the game, which will not be rescheduled.

The Steelers (0-6) extended their losing streak to 25 games and will host Redlands East Valley on Friday, while Redlands (6-0) remains atop the league standings.

"Hopefully," Redlands coach Jim Walker said, "we aren't too rusty."

Running at a Record Pace

Lake Elsinore Temescal Canyon fullback Chris Pesaniello is on pace to break the state record for most carries in a single season -- that's provided the Titans advance past the first round of the playoffs.

Pesaniello, a 5-foot-10, 220-pound senior, has carried the ball 223 times through the first six games, an average of 37.2 carries per game.

Last week, Pesaniello ran the ball 43 times for 210 yards in the Titans' 26-23 win over Temecula Valley. That was the third time Pesaniello has eclipsed the 40-carry mark this season.

The state record is held by former Riverside Norte Vista standout Cesar Murrillo, who carried the ball 439 times over 12 games (36.6 carries per game) during the 2002 season.

At 5-10 and 180 pounds, Murrillo wasn't nearly as big as Pesaniello, but he was just as durable. The two backs grinded out small gains -- Pesaniello is averaging 5.3 yards per carry while Murrillo averaged 5.7 a carry in 2002 -- and they both kept the chains moving.

Stallion Returns

A week after suffering a right ankle sprain, Colton junior running back Dwayne Stallion returned to action Friday.

Although he only had 19 yards on four carries, he did pick up a crucial first down in the 24-7 win over San Bernardino San Gorgonio.

"I didn't think he was going to play," Colton coach Harold Strauss said. "But he wanted to get in there, and he ran hard for us."

Strauss added Stallion knew his limits.

"After he got that first down he came to me and said, 'I don't think I can go again,'" Strauss said. "I told him that was fine. Hopefully he'll be back at full strength next week."

Moxley Uncertain

Moreno Valley quarterback Isaiah Moxley missed Friday's game against Moreno Valley Vista del Lago with an injury sustained Oct. 6 against San Bernardino Arroyo Valley.

"It's a day-by-day thing," Vikings coach Ted Wadkins said by phone. "He could've gone on Friday night if we really needed him and the same thing (is true) for this week."

Sidney Hall filled in at quarterback and was 7 of 8 for 43 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Hall normally plays receiver and defensive back, but he has some experience under center, as he was the quarterback for the Vikings' freshman team in 2004.

Scouting Report

Look out, Ivy League opponents, Lou Randall is watching. The Riverside North coach and the rest of his staff took advantage of a staggered Ivy League schedule last weekend by scouting every team in the league. Thursday night featured Riverside King and La Sierra. North played Riverside Arlington on Friday. And Ramona played Riverside Poly on Saturday afternoon.

"We were able to see everybody (last) week," Randall said. "We got most of our staff out to the games."

That's good news for the 6-0 Huskies but bad news for the rest of the league, which spends its time looking up to North in the standings.
