Expectations are rightfully high for the Wilson Bruins this season with 28 seniors on the roster and eight experienced returners on offense, but fifth-year head coach Mark Ziegenhagen said his team is dealing well with the pressure. “On paper we look pretty good with the amount of returners we have,” Ziegenhagen said. “They’re humbled and […]
The Lakewood Lancers are under new management as head coach Scott Meyer returns to the Moore League. Meyer turned the Jordan High program around in 2006 when he took over a 1-9 team.

After last week’s loss to Long Beach Poly, Lakewood coach Mike Christensen waved away any talk of Moore League playoff scenarios. “Here’s what I know,” he said. “We’ve got to win next week. That’s all I need to know.” Christensen is correct. The Lancers (2-7, 2-3) need a win over Cabrillo (2-7, 1-4) in order […]
