Fleet Week Is Here: Massive Ships, Military Demos and Waterfront Fun Return to San Pedro
Four days of ship tours, flyovers, concerts and family attractions will transform the Los Angeles waterfront this Memorial Day weekend.
By Brian Hews
For one weekend every year, San Pedro stops feeling like Southern California and starts looking like a Hollywood military movie set.
Massive gray Navy ships tower over the harbor. Helicopters rumble overhead. Sailors flood local restaurants and coffee shops. Military vehicles line Harbor Boulevard while families crowd the waterfront snapping photos beside armored equipment and fighter jet displays. And somehow, mixed into
all of it, are food trucks, live concerts, wrestling matches, cooking competitions and enough sunscreen sales to financially stabilize half the South Bay.
L.A. Fleet Week officially returns Memorial Day weekend from Friday through Monday, bringing what organizers describe as the nation’s largest Memorial Day celebration to the Port of Los Angeles. The annual event, now celebrating its 10th year, transforms San Pedro into a massive public festival centered around military appreciation, waterfront tourism and good old-fashioned Southern California people-watching.
This year’s biggest attraction is expected to be the USS Essex, a massive Navy amphibious assault ship returning to Fleet Week after becoming one of the most popular attractions during its previous appearance in 2022. The Essex is essentially a floating military city, stretching more than 800 feet long and capable of carrying helicopters, Marines, landing craft and advanced fighter aircraft.
The ship will dock in San Pedro’s Outer Harbor and be open for public tours throughout the weekend. Visitors boarding the Essex should

prepare for steep ladders, tight passageways and a reminder that active-duty warships are not designed with ADA-compliant cruise ship luxury in mind.
Joining the Essex this year are two Coast Guard vessels — the Cutter Halibut and the fast-response cutter Terrell Horne. Both ships will also be open for public tours, giving visitors the chance to meet service members and explore operational military vessels up
close.
The Terrell Horne carries a particularly emotional history. The vessel was named after Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne III, a Coast Guard officer killed in 2012 while attempting to stop a suspected drug smuggling boat off the Southern California coast. According to Coast Guard accounts, Horne sacrificed himself while protecting a fellow crew member during a violent collision with the fleeing vessel.
For many visitors, the ship tours are the centerpiece of Fleet Week.
But the event has evolved into far more than military displays.
The main Fleet Week EXPO area surrounds the Battleship Iowa at 250 S. Harbor Blvd. and features live entertainment, interactive exhibits, military demonstrations, educational activities and food vendors spread throughout the waterfront district.
There are military band performances, aircraft flyovers, wrestling exhibitions, STEM displays, cooking competitions between military branches and sports tournaments. Families can climb aboard emergen-
cy vehicles, explore tactical displays and watch demonstrations from military working dogs and rescue teams.
Children usually leave the event believing they either want to become fighter pilots or drive armored vehicles for a living.
Adults generally leave wondering why they parked three miles away.
Parking, in fact, may be the most important tactical operation of the entire weekend.
USS ESSEX (LHD-2) is an active Wasp-class amphibious assault ship homeported in San Diego, California. She is currently deployed for routine operations and scheduled to participate in LA Fleet Week over the Memorial Day weekend
Fleet Week organizers strongly encourage visitors to use remote parking lots and shuttle buses because waterfront parking fills quickly. Metro riders can also take the J Line into San Pedro to avoid traffic headaches that can stretch for blocks near Harbor Boulevard.
Visitors planning to tour the USS Essex should pay especially close attention to boarding procedures. Unlike the Coast Guard ships, Navy ship tours require guests to join a same-day digital queue using their phones before boarding shuttle buses to the vessel. Organizers say guests should enable phone location services before arriving in San Pedro and monitor text updates carefully for boarding instructions.
All adults boarding Navy vessels must present valid
FLEET WEEK DIET:
Fleet Week calories don’t count when you’re walking five miles, eating giant ice cream cones, and pretending Navy ships are normal.
government-issued identification. Non-U.S. citizens must carry passports and undergo additional screening before boarding. Photocopies are not accepted.
Security restrictions are also strict. No drones, pets, banners or political signs are allowed aboard the ships. Visitors are advised to wear closed-toe shoes and be prepared for extensive walking.
The event’s popularity has exploded in recent years, turning Fleet Week into one of the region’s signature Memorial Day weekend attractions. Local restaurants, hotels and waterfront businesses often see huge crowds throughout the four-day celebration.
Beyond Fleet Week itself, the San Pedro waterfront offers visitors additional attractions including the Battleship Iowa Museum, the Los Angeles Maritime Museum and dozens of waterfront dining spots stretching along the harbor.
Organizers say the event is designed to both honor military service members and connect the public with the men and women serving aboard active-duty ships stationed around the world.
For many first-time visitors, the scale of the vessels alone becomes the biggest surprise.
Photos simply do not prepare people for standing beside a floating warship large enough to carry helicopters, hundreds of Marines and entire combat operations across the globe.
And somewhere in the middle of all that military hardware, food vendors and harbor traffic, kids will still somehow convince their parents to buy giant lemonades and souvenir sunglasses.
Because this is Southern California, after all.

CIF-SOUTHERN SECTION DIVISION 7 BASEBALL PLAYOFFS:
Albidrez dominant in complete game as Norwalk moves on to quarters
By Loren Kopff @LorenKopff on X
GARDEN GROVE-If it’s his last outing as a high school pitcher, then Norwalk High senior Daniel Albidrez put on another classic performance in the CIF-Southern Section Division 7 playoffs. Albidrez went the distance for the second time in less than a week and sixth this season as the second-seeded Lancers knocked off Garden Grove High 4-1 this past Tuesday. Norwalk, the third place team in the Mid-Cities League, improved to 17-7 and will travel to Arroyo High, co-champions of the Mission Valley League, for a quarterfinal tilt on Friday.
“Oh man, it’s exciting; it’s fun but I’m very tired, I’ll tell you that,” exhaled Albidrez. “Throwing on Thursday and today…all the adrenalines just kept me going. All I can say is it’s a lot of fun.”
“Daniel has been our horse; we’ve lost a lot of one-run games in our league, just to tough teams, but he got our MVP this year,” said Norwalk head coach Jose Rodriguez. “He’s been our guy, and he just stuck with his fastball. They couldn’t catch up to it.”
The first sign of trouble for Albidrez came in the bottom of the first inning when he hit his counterpart, Manny Martinez, with one out and walked Mario Salas on four straight pitches. Then he allowed a base hit to Walker Bass to load the bases before striking out Frank Lam. He threw the next two pitches to Jayden Peraza for strikes before Salas was caught stealing third.
But in the second, the Argonauts got to Albidrez, who has allowed nine runs in his last six games since Apr. 3, going 4-2 in those contests. It began when Peraza drew a leadoff walk and moved to second on a sacrifice from Diego Serra-
no. Morrisey Delatorre then reached on an error, allowing Peraza to come home. After that, Albidrez was nearly lights out.
“In the beginning, I was getting really frustrated,” said Albidrez. “I wasn’t getting anything on the corners. Obviously, I was just trying to go over the middle; no off-speed, just fastball. If I throw it down the middle, they’re going to swing the bat. Groundballs helps the pitch count. That was my plan the while time until the end.”
“I believe we kind of made that decision when they started bunting,” said Rodriguez. “I felt like he was just blowing the fastball by guys. They were looking for other alternatives. I told my guys we just needed to get him some runs, take care of the baseball and we would get this game.
CIF-SOUTHERN SECTION DIVISION 5 BASEBALL PLAYOFFS:
Cerritos offense quiet in shutout loss to Bishop Montgomery
ters of the sixth before Johnson’s hit.
Cerritos High head coach Matt Joyce had predicted a low-scoring contest when his Dons hosted Bishop Montgomery High last Friday in the CIF-Southern Section Division 5 first round playoffs. And the most part, he was spot on as senior pitcher Jacob Hoosac and his counterpart, Michael Flink were on their games.
That was followed by another infield knock, this time by senior shortstop Jayce Aragon before senior right fielder Eli Sarno lined out to end the only legitimate threat. In the last inning, senior first baseman Ryan Salas singled on a 2-2 count with one out, But Flink got senior third baseman Justin Sagun popped up before posting his sixth and final strikeout to end the game.
“The turning point for them was they bunted the ball and manufactured a run, and then us getting out of the third inning and getting a zero was a big momentum,” he later said.
Albidrez gave up an infield hit to Khai Anderson with two outs, but Sebastian Barron was caught stealing to end the frame and walked Martinez to lead off the third before striking out the next seven batters and retiring 11 straight before Lam singled to right on the first pitch with two outs in the sixth. Albidrez then retired the next four on eight pitches to end the game and finished the contest with 10 strikeouts and threw 98 pitches, wiping out any chance of him coming back on Friday at any point.
“I was just in the zone; I was there, I was feeling it,” said Al -

CIF-SOUTHERN SECTION DIVISION 2 SOFTBALL PLAYOFFS: Gonzalez, Magana guide Gahr to first round victory over Yorba Linda
By Loren Kopff
@LorenKopff on X
Out of the many questions that the Gahr High softball team and its followers may have had entering the CIF-Southern Section Division 2 playoffs last Thursday centered around junior pitcher Isabella Gonzalez. The star pitcher of the last three seasons entered the first round playoff game against Yorba Linda High has started 54 games in her high school career with over 382 innings pitched, has al lowed 381 hits, 114 earned runs and has struck out 339 batters.
remember that I didn’t forget how to pitch overnight. I just needed to rely on my mechanics and my hard work.”
But Gonzalez had not pitched since Mar. 30, resting her right arm which has been inflamed because of what she calls ‘overuse’. She spent the time off visioning the batters and doing dry runs. Off the field, she was doing a lot of cardio and whatever she could without pitching so she, in her words, could provide for her team and be the best she could be.
Whatever she did worked in the playoff opener as she was perfect through the first three innings and finished the game scattering five hits, striking out three and walking one as the Gladiators doubled up the Mustangs 4-2.
“Honestly, I was feeling a little anxious; a little ‘oh my gosh, I haven’t pitched,” said Gonzalez. “But I was mentally preparing. I needed to
“So, competitors compete,” said Gahr head coach Rey Sanchez. “I know that’s deep, but that’s who she is. She’s going to find a way. Yeah, she didn’t throw, obviously, in that La Mirada game [on May 5]; we decided to hold her back and get the arm right. But once the switch is turned on, she’s laser focused; she’s executing pitches, she was popping the ball like Bella does. She did a great job getting through the lineup in the first three innings and I think if we make a play here or there, I think she ends up shutting them out.”
Gonzalez had the tough task of limiting whatever damage would come her way against a team that batted .369 in the regular season and had four of the first five in the batting order hit over .400.
She threw seven pitches in the top of the first inning, a dozen in the second and eight in the third. Meanwhile, the offense was backing her up and staked her to a 3-0 lead after three innings. Junior right fielder Leah Magana led off the bottom of the second with a double to the right field gap, moved to third on a ground out from senior designated player Maryah McElroy and scored first run of the contest on a groundout from
See GAHR, Page 16
But on this day, the huge advantage went to Flink as he was tossing a perfect game until senior centerfielder Jacob Johnson beat out an infield single with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning. Over 20 pitches later, Flink and his teammates were celebrating a 5-0 victory, ending Cerritos’ season at 18-9 and putting an end to a remarkable eight-year run in the 605 League.
“Honestly, we took good at-bats today; I don’t think we got a hit until the fifth or whatever it was,” said Joyce. “We just got outclassed by a really good arm, and I knew that was going to be a problem. We battled; we had good at-bats, and we did our best. Hoosac did a really good job through four [innings], but kind of ran out of gas a little bit and then it got away from us.”
Flink threw 15 pitches in the first inning, then decreased his pitch count to 12, eight and five over the next three frames, striking out four, inducing four groundouts and getting the other four to either fly out or pop-up. He needed eight pitches to get through the fifth and six combined pitches to the first two bat-
Pair of Valley Christian athletes, one from La Mirada, advance to Masters Meet
Loren
A third of the area track and field athletes, or relay teams, who participated in last Saturday’s CIFSouthern Section Divisional Finals have moved on to Saturday’s Masters Meet, the last step before the state finals. Two of three athletes, all from field events, are from Valley Christian High while the other is from La Mirada High.
In the girls pole vault, V.C. junior Celia Polk finished third in Division 4 with a distance if 10’ 7” while V.C. junior Micah Carter had the division’s second best mark in the shotput at 52’ ½”. In Division 3, senior Daniel Morales has the top distance in the discus throwing 166’ 10”.
V.C. senior Eden Patton had the fourth best mark in Division 4 in the 300 hurdles at 47.74 and V.C. senior Jackson TerKurf placed third in the discus with a mark of 141’ 00”. Three other individuals and one relay team finished no higher than sixth place in their division.
BASEBALL
When the CIF-Southern Section playoffs began on May 12, six of the area eight teams were vying for a divisional championship and one week later, three teams are still alive.
Meanwhile, Hoosac was doing his job early on to keep the game scoreless, throwing 29 pitches through the first three innings, allowing a double to Sean Yanko on the fourth pitch of the game and walking Jack Hall to lead off the second inning. But in the fourth, he gave up a leadoff single to Yanko and a one-out infield hit to Ethan Peterson. Then Hall’s sacrifice fly scored the only run Flink would need.
“It felt like to me like he was toying with us,” chucked Joyce on Flink, who needed 78 pitches for his masterpiece. “I felt like it was another gear; I think when he had to get that strikeout, he got it. For Division 5, that’s a really good arm.”
In the next inning, Dominic Robley and Matthew Orozco each led off with singles with the former eventually scoring on an error. Two batters later, Evan Oh singled down the third base line to bring in Orozco and end Hoosac’s outing.
“It looked like he started missing,” said Joyce of one of his top two pitchers. “He kind of lost his command a little bit and they put some good atbats on him. He was just a little bit better than them through four, then he just ran out of gas. In high school baseball when it’s win or go home, the heart starts to get heavy when they can see…we lost a little steam towards the

In Division 1, La Mirada, seeded 15th, fell to second-seeded Harvard-Westlake High 3-0 in the first round of a new 16-team, double elimination format. But last Friday, the Matadores bounced back to eliminate seventh-seeded Temecula Valley High 9-2, then kept their season alive with an 11-1 win over No. 10 Huntington Beach High this past Tuesday. Senior pitcher Jacob Oropeza, who got the save against Temecula Valley, picked up the win against Huntington Beach while sophomore Julian Pardinas, who started this past Tuesday, got the win last Friday. La Mirada (24-7) will host sixth-seeded

CITY OF HAWAIIAN GARDENS
SUMMARY OF ADOPTED ORDINANCE NO. 2026-625
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HAWAIIAN GARDENS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 6.28 OF TITLE 6 OF THE HAWAIIAN GARDENS MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING FIREWORK REGULATIONS AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA
On May 13, 2026, the City Council of the City of Hawaiian Gardens adopted Ordinance No. 2026-625, amending Chapter 6.28 of the Hawaiian Gardens Municipal Code to strengthen the City’s ability to deter and enforce the use of unlawful fireworks. Strengthening the City’s ability to take enforcement action against property owners, lessors, and any other person in lawful possession of the property where unlawful fireworks are discharged. The enforcement authority is also extended to unlawful fireworks that are discharged in a public right of way adjacent to a property owner’s property, if they have knowledge, or should have had knowledge, of the acts that resulted in a violation. This Ordinance is exempt from CEQA, as it is not a “project” and has no potential to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment because the amendments only enhance and clarify the existing regulatory framework for fireworks without introducing new environmental risks. (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378(a).)
The City Council passed and adopted Ordinance No. 2026-625, by the following vote:
AYES: DE PAULA, FARFAN, VARGAS, ROA, DEL RIO

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Artesia will conduct a Public Hearing in the City Council Chambers at Artesia City Hall, located at 18747 Clarkdale Avenue, Artesia, California, at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, on Monday, June 8, 2026, to consider the following items:
1. Approval of the Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Nexus Study associated with development within the Mixed-Use Overlay Zone (MUO); and 2. Adoption of Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fees applicable to qualifying development projects within the Mixed-Use Overlay Zone.
The proposed Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee is supported by a Nexus Study prepared in accordance with California Government Code Section 66000 et seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act). The Nexus Study identifies the relationship (nexus) between new development within the Mixed-Use Overlay Zone and the need for affordable housing and demonstrates the reasonable relationship between the fee and the impacts of such development. The proposed fee would be imposed on applicable residential and mixed-use development projects within the MUO Zone and used to fund the provision, construction, and/or preservation of affordable housing consistent with City housing policies and programs.
The Nexus Study, the proposed Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fees schedule, and all supporting data are available for public review on the City’s website at https://www. cityofartesia.us/DocumentCenter/View/8864. Copies of these documents are also available for review in the Office of the City Clerk, City of Artesia located at 18747 Clarkdale Ave., CA, 90701 during normal business hours.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff has determined that the proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption), as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that adoption of the fee will have a significant effect on the environment.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: Interested persons and members of the public wishing to address the City Council may appear at the public hearing and provide public comments or submit evidence for or against the proposed Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fees. At the public hearing, testimony from interested persons will be heard by the City Council and duly considered prior to taking action on the above proposed Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fees. Written comments may be submitted prior to the hearing to the Artesia City Clerk’s Office at 18747 Clarkdale Avenue, Artesia, CA 90701, or via email at planning@cityofartesia.us. For additional information, please contact the Artesia Community Development Department at (562) 865-6262.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that SANDY CISNEROS be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 05/29/26 at 8:30AM in Dept. 600 located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS ANGELES, CA 90012
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

sophomore first baseman Alissa Agaton.
In the next inning, Yorba Linda pitcher Erica Martin walked sophomore third baseman Megan Wong before yielding a one-pitch double to junior Kayleigh Allen. Then with two outs, Magana singled in both runs before getting thrown out at second.
“Today I wanted to feel more relaxed and again, just play my part and help my team,” said Magana. “I just wanted to be aggressive and get on [base]. I was most definitely thinking of just putting the ball in play and getting on base so we can have a run to score in. I knew my teammates could bring me in.”
The first pitch thrown by Gonzalez in the top of the fourth was a double to left field from Claire Gress. That was followed by an error, allowing Saige Block to reach first and a single from Liliya Cartledge putting the Mustangs on the board. Now with two outs and Madison Page standing at third base via a fielder’s choice, moving to second on a fielder’s choice from Martin and a wild pitch, a single from Grace Gomez made it 3-2. In fact, Gonzalez faced seven batters in the inning, throwing 18 pitches, including one pitch to four batters.
“When a lot of the chaos was happening in that fourth inning, this season definitely has taught me patience, and I think I really just used my patience to my advantage,” said Gonzalez. “I’ve been in this situation before and not everything is going to go my way.”
“First of all, she was doing a great job jumping ahead to most everybody,” said Sanchez. “[Gress] hit a nice ball out to left…credit to them, they learned from their first time through [the lineup] and we executed some pitches, and they adjusted.”
But Gonzalez settled down over the next three frames, throwing 38 more pitches, yielding a two-out double to Gress in the fifth, a leadoff single to Cartledge the next inning and hitting Brooke Boyd with two outs in the seventh.
“Oh god, every single time she comes out, she deals and she’s honestly amazing and I love Bella,” said Magana. “I’ve known her for years and she deals every single time she comes out, no matter what setback she has.”
“She’s going to pitch to the toughest hitters and even in Division 1,” said Sanchez. “She can get people out. She’s great at throwing to both sides of the plate; she can throw a changeup for a strike, and she can move it up and down. The thing is she can throw it to all quadrants when asked on command.”
The Gladiators added an insurance run when Wong led off the fifth with a double to center, stole third and came home on a one-out sacrifice fly from sophomore shortstop Hazel Anglo. Gahr posted eight hits; at least one in each inning, but three came from Magana’s bat while Wong went two for two. For Magana, it was a career-high in hits as she had five previous games last season and this season in which she had a pair of hits.
“It was most definitely a great experience and especially being in the CIF first round, we came out and did
our job,” said Magana. “Everybody was energetic, hyped; we all played our part in our positions, and we had each other’s back at the end of the day.”
“Leah was money today,” said Sanchez. “She’s made an adjustment in practice on her swing, and her swing has been feeling really good. She’s taking good at-bats in practice; she’s hitting the ball over the place. I moved her up in the lineup just because I felt she had been jiving, and she delivered. She was clutch.” Gahr’s season came to an end last Saturday after falling to Mater Dei High 3-1. Wong had one of the team’s three hits and scored the only run in the bottom of the first inning. But the Monarchs broke the tie two innings later with a pair of runs. The Gladiators (1613) were limited to three hits, the second lowest production all season. Since Sanchez took over the helm of the program in 2019, the Gladiators have won 125 games, won the CIF-SS Division 2 crown in 2024, advanced to the semifinals twice and the second round once.

bidrez. “I felt great, and it was just me and my catcher. That was it.”
“He’s a guy who we train; we do bullpen [sessions] twice a week,” said Rodriguez. “We were trying to save him, so they kind of forced the issue where we had to leave him in there. We were trying to save him for Friday, so now we have to go with our other pitchers.”
While Albidrez was doing his thing on the mound, the Lancers were squandering chances to score in the early part of the contest. Martinez walked sophomore shortstop Jared Brammer to begin the game. But on the next pitch, on what looked like a bunt and run situation, sophomore left fielder Isaiah Medina popped up to Martinez, who threw to first to complete the double play. The Lancers stranded six runners over the next four innings, half standing at third base while collecting six hits.
“We mentioned in the dugout that we will be working on our bunting and manufacturing runs because we had the opportunities to chip away early and get some runs to our pitcher…and we weren’t able to capitalize,” said Rodriguez. “But I’m glad the sticks came through in the second half of the game.”
With Anderson, who replaced Martinez in the second inning, now on the mound, senior catcher Corey Brammer began the sixth by reaching on an error and was safe at second when senior first baseman Jesus Sanchez was safe on a fielder’s choice. On the next pitch, sophomore center fielder David Pelayo singled to load the bases and two batters later, sophomore third baseman Marcus Castillo drove in Brammer with a base hit to left.
Junior second baseman David Ibarra’s sacrifice fly brought in Sanchez and on a one-strike call. Jared Brammer iced the game with a two-run single to right field.
Pelayo went three for four while Jared Brammer and Sanchez each added a pair of hits as the Lancers are now in the quarterfinals for the second straight season under Rodriguez, who took over for William Wenrick, who
had been the program’s head coach the previous 10 seasons. Norwalk also went to the quarterfinals in 1999 and 2023.
“For the guys and building a program, it’s big; it’s big for our school,” said Rodriguez. “It’s big for our baseball program and it’s big for the guys who are going to be here next year as well.”
CERRITOS from page 10
end, and it was kind of obvious to me.”
During his outing, Hoosac was ahead in the count 0-1 10 times and had three batters connect on the first pitch while going to a 0-2 count once. Hoosac ends his season at 5-2 with a 1.42 earned run average, allowing 11 earned runs and striking out 55 batters.
The Dons, who won six of the seven 605 League titles and compiled a 60-4 league record since the formation of the circuit, had been bounced out in the first round of the playoffs in six of seven seasons before advancing to the quarterfinals in 2024 and the second round last season. in fact, the program had not reached the playoffs in 17 straight seasons from 19992015. Now, Cerritos will be in a new, but favorable five-team league next season in the new and improved Suburban Valley Conference. “Looking ahead, obviously it’s going to be much more competitive than our league has been, and I think that will be a good thing for us,” said Joyce. “We’re going to be very young next year. We had a big group of seniors and they really, really loved each other.”
NOTES from page 10
St. John Bosco High on Friday in a quarterfinal contest.
In a Division 2 quarterfinal game this past Tuesday, Gahr High led Aquinas High 3-1 entering the bottom of the seventh inning but allowed three runs and was eliminated. The Gladiators (1811-1) had faced the Falcons on May 6, posting a 6-5 victory but in the rematch, was denied a trip to the semifinals for the first time since 2012. Since then, Gahr has reached the quarterfinals five times.
In Division 8, Artesia High doubled up Magnolia High 10-5 this past
Tuesday to improve to 12-15. The Pioneers will entertain Schurr High on Friday in the quarterfinals, the second straight season and third in the past four the Pioneers have reached this far.
In Division 5, V.C. rallied to tie Culver City High in the bottom of the seventh inning last Friday but gave up a pair of runs in the eighth and was eliminated 8-6, ending its season at 1511. The Defenders have not been past the first round since 2015.
SOFTBALL
Just like the area baseball teams, six out of the seven area softball teams advanced to the playoffs, but only La Mirada remains standing after the first two rounds. The Matadores (24-4) defeated Los Alamitos High 4-2 last Thursday in Division 1 and Palos Verdes High 3-0 last Saturday. The fourthseeded Matadores, who are making their second straight trip to the quarterfinals, hosted Etiwanda High on May 21.
In Division 2, Gahr was ousted by Mater Dei High 3-1 last Saturday, ending its season at 16-13 while in Division 3, V.C. was eliminated by Oak Park High 10-4 last Friday to conclude the season at 12-9.
Also last Friday, Cerritos High fell to Shadow Hills High 8-3 in a Division 5 first round contest, leaving the Dons to a 12-7 record for the 2026 season. Also in the division, Norwalk High dropped a 6-2 decision to Ontario High last Friday to conclude its season at 15-11-1.
Finally, in a Division 7 first round affair last Friday, Artesia dropped a 2-1, nine-inning affair to Cathedral City High to wrap up the season at 10-12.
COLLEGE SOFTBALL
A trio of former area high school softball standouts will be hoping their college teams will win a pair of games this weekend, thus advancing to the NCAA Women’s College World Series.
In the best two out of three Super Regionals, former Cerritos standout Katelyn Caneda, a senior at the University of Nebraska, and her teammate, ex-Gahr standout Natalia Hill, now a sophomore, will be hosting Oklahoma State University May 21-23 with the last game if necessary.
In Gainesville, FL, the University of Florida will be hosting Texas Tech University, with last season’s La Mirada graduate Angelyna Conde.
The winners of the Super Regionals will advance to the WCWS in Oklahoma City. Last season, Texas Tech fell to the University of Texas in the best of three finals, losing Game 1 2-1, winning the next game 4-3 before falling in Game 3 10-4.
