Hi, and welcome to another edition of Prep Rally. My name is Eric Sondheimer. The Class of 2027 spoke loudly at the Arcadia Invitational. As did All-American Sadie Engelhardt of Ventura. Benjamin Harris of Long Beach Poly, a freshman, won the 100 meters at Saturday's Arcadia Invitational in a wind-aided 10.38 seconds. Imagine what he might be running during his senior season in 2027. In third place was another freshman, Demare Dezeurn of Bishop Alemany, who ran 10.43.
Granada Hills is not only the best softball team in the City Section but one of the best in Southern California. At 15-1, the Highlanders went 4-0 this past week, with wins over Chatsworth, Cleveland, La Habra and JSerra. Granada Hills has hit 17 home runs. Jocelyn Jimenez, a junior, is batting .559 with 33 hits and 18 RBIs. Norco is 16-3 and 4-0 in the Big VIII League. Rylee McCoy of Oaks Christian went six for six in a doubleheader sweep of Oxnard.
