Valley Christian marches into championship game, takes care of San Dimas
SAN DIMAS – Valley Christian High head coach Brendan Chambers had plans of going to Tucson, Arizona for the Thanksgiving holiday to visit his in-laws had his football team lost to San Dimas High last Friday. He’s going to have to change those plans because, for the first time since 2022, the Defenders are heading back to the CIF-Southern Section divisional finals.
V.C.’s staunch defense put together another stellar performance against the Saints, especially in the second half, and posted a 28-12 victory to earn a trip to the Division 9 title game against Ramona High. The game will be played on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. at Valley Christian Stadium.
This will be the seventh time in the program’s history that it will be playing for a divisional championship. V.C. has split the last six title games, most recently falling to Lancaster High 44-42 in the 2022 Division 12 game.
“I feel a little bit bummed for the seniors from last year; I feel like they were robbed,” said Chambers. “But with that being said, this senior class has really become something special. And they bought into what we’re trying to do in the program; they bought into each other.
“I’ve talked about this before, but if
you look at those first two early losses, the season could have gone a different way,” he continued. “They really came together and figured out a way to change this thing around. I’m just proud of them. I’m grateful for the opportunity of playing for a CIF championship with this group of guys.”
Chambers was talking about last season’s 7-3 team that was hoping for an at-large berth into the playoffs after finishing in fourth place in the Ironwood League despite beginning the season with six straight wins. This season, there was no doubt for the Defenders, the sixth-seeded team in the division who finished in second place in league and are now 10-3.
“It’s just great; I feel like as a team, we’ve come so far,” said senior Oliver Boateng. “Against Calvary Chapel [Santa Ana], we went down and that was a rough week. We came back the next week against Mary Star and took a tough loss. That’s when everything turned around and we just came together as a team and fought through adversity. Each week we just got better and better and it has culminated to this.”
“It feels so good,” said junior quarterback Liam Sweeney. “We’ve been working all year; we started back in June; we’ve been working all this time, and this is the goal at the end of the day.”
Sweeney had been the backup signal caller for most of the season until junior Graham Lunzer, the transfer from St. John Bosco High, went down with a broken left
tibia against Chino High in the first round. Sweeney entered the San Dimas game with 306 yards and five touchdowns, but in the semifinals completed 15 of 21 passes for 191 yards and three touchdowns. He

Valley Christian seeks fourth football championship in seven trips to divisional finals
By Loren Kopff @LorenKopff on X
LONG BEACH-For the fourth straight season, a Cerritos-based high school will have a chance to win a CIF-Southern Section divisional championship. Valley Christian High will host Ramona High on Saturday night for the right to be called Division 9 champions.
The Defenders, Rams and the other 30 finals participants in 11-man and eight-man football were recognized at the CIF-Southern Section’s 49th Press Conference Luncheon held this past Tuesday at the Grand in Long Beach. Last season, Gahr High was in this position, two seasons ago, it was Cerritos High and the year prior, it was V.C.
This is the seventh time in school history V.C. has played for a divisional championship, having split the previous six times. In 2022, the Defenders were nipped by Lancaster High 44-42 in the Division
12 finals and in 2016, V.C. breezed past Silverado High 59-13 in the Division 9 title game.
“It’s been great playing alongside the same dudes for four years now,” said senior Cole Hefner. “It’s been a blast, and being able to set a goal from those early years and being able to achieve our senior year has been great. I think we’ve worked hard for it.”
V.C. is coming off a 28-12 victory over San Dimas High last Friday in which junior quarterback Liam Sweeney set seasonhighs with 15 passes, 191 yards and three touchdowns while Hefner rushed 23 times for 88 yards.
Because of a season-ending injury to junior Graham Lunzer in the first round against Chino High, Hefner has been asked to do the bulk of the rushing. In the three playoff games, he has gained 195 yards on 75 carries and now has 451 yards on the

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING/PROPOSED ORDINANCES
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Cerritos City Council will conduct a public hearing at a regular meeting on Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. on the following matter: Review and consideration to waive full reading of and adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CERRITOS CITY COUNCIL APPROVING AND CERTIFYING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION PREPARED IN SUPPORT OF DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 2025-2, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 2025-2, AND DEVELOPMENT MAP AMENDMENT 2025-2, FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH ESTABLISHING AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN TWENTY (ADP-20). Review and consideration to waive full reading of and introduce AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CERRITOS APPROVING DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 2025-2, A REQUEST TO AMEND TITLE 22 OF THE CERRITOS MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING CHAPTER 22.55, AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN TWENTY (ADP-20), TO ESTABLISH SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THE USE OF PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 19011–19151 BLOOMFIELD AVENUE AND 12506–12544 SOUTH STREET FOR COMMERCIAL AND/OR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES (APN 7054-015-075, 7054-015-094, 7054-015-095, 7054-015096, 7054-015-097, 7054-015-098, 7054-015-099, 7054-015100).* Review and consideration to waive full reading of and adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CERRITOS CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE CERRITOS GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP BY CHANGING THE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF APPROXIMATELY ±5.34 ACRES OF LAND, LOCATED AT 19011-19151 BLOOMFIELD AVENUE AND 12506-12544 SOUTH STREET, FROM COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL TO AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN TWENTY (ADP-20).* Review and consideration to waive full reading of and introduce AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CERRITOS AMENDING THE CERRITOS DEVELOPMENT MAP BY CHANGING THE ZONE CLASSIFICATION OF APPROXIMATELY ±5.34 ACRES OF LAND, LOCATED AT 19011-19151 BLOOMFIELD AVENUE AND 1250612544 SOUTH STREET, FROM NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL (CN) TO AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN TWENTY (ADP-20).* *One Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for Development Code Amendment 2025-2, General Plan Amendment 2025-2, and Development Map Amendment 2025-2. City Attorney Summary: This project consists of the rezoning of a site located at the southwest corner of Bloomfield Ave. and South St., which currently allows for commercial uses only. The rezoning of the site to ADP-20 will allow for continued commercial uses, but will now also allow for low-/medium-density residential uses. This rezoning is in response to AB 2011. Without any rezoning, AB 2011 mandates that the City approve any eligible multi-family housing development (with some component of affordable housing) within any commercially-zoned property of less than twenty (20) acres along a major arterial street with densities ranging from twenty (20) to eighty (80) dwelling units per acre, with no parking requirements, and without any discretionary public hearings. By rezoning the site and establishing ADP-20, the City would be able to retain local control for any commercial or residential development, while also protecting surrounding uses by establishing development standards for density, building height, landscaping, parking requirements, and privacy screening. A copy of the full text of the proposed Ordinances can be viewed or obtained by contacting the Office of the City Clerk during regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., weekends and observed holidays excepted) at 18125 Bloomfield Avenue, Cerritos, CA 90703, city_clerk@cerritos.gov, or (562) 916-1248.

“I think everybody has an assignment to do, and my assignment has kind of changed,” said Hefner. “When Graham got injured, and especially with the rain against Warren and games like that where let’s just keep the ball on the ground, I kind of look at it as I have a job to do and I’m going to do it to the best of my ability.
“I think Liam has also stepped up huge and killed his role,” he continued. “The line,
the receivers…everybody, and I think more about just doing your assignment and doing it to the best of their ability.
The Defenders are entering the championship game on a six-game winning streak with their defense allowing 28 points in the last four games and nearly 18 points for the season. However, they will go up against a squad that began the season with five straight wins and is currently on another five-game streak.
The Rams offense is explosive, having reached at least 40 points the last two games, four out of the last five and six times this season. They could surpass the 500-point mark on Saturday if they can find the end

HEARING
NOTICE OF PUBLIC
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the City Council of the City of Artesia will hold a Public Hearing in the City Council Chambers of Artesia City Hall located at 18747 Clarkdale Avenue, Artesia, California at 7:00 pm on Monday, December 15, 2025, to consider the following:
Project Description: The City Council will consider the following: (1) Amendment to Article 45 of the Zoning Code (Accessory Dwelling Units) to update provisions to ensure consistency with recent changes in State ADU law (“ADU Ordinance”); and (2) Amendments to various sections of the Zoning Code to correct clerical errors and provide consistency with the Zoning Code in light of the recent adoption of the Artesia Downtown Specific Plan, including removal of all references to the now obsolete South Street Specific Plan (“Cleanup Ordinance”) and adding or replacing those references with references to the Artesia Downtown Specific Plan.
Project Location: Citywide Case Number: 2025-26 and 27
CEQA: Under California Public Resources Code section 21080.17, CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city implementing the provisions of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, which is California’s ADU law. Therefore, the proposed ADU Ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that the proposed ordinance implements state ADU law. The Cleanup Ordinance is not subject to CEQA because the ordinance is not a CEQA “project” pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b) (5), which provides that organizational and administrative activities of governments that will not result in physical environmental impacts are not CEQA projects, and here the proposed amendments refine and clarify Zoning Code provisions and correct clerical errors. Further, the State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) exempts those activities for which it can be seen with certainty that there is no potential to result in significant environmental effects. The Cleanup Ordinance has no potential to result in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly, as the ordinance refines, clarifies, and corrects clerical errors in the Zoning Code and does not propose nor authorize any action that would have the potential to cause a physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly.
Planning Commission Action: On November 18, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, considered the projects, and voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council approve both projects.
If you challenge any of these proposals in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in the notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City of Artesia City Council at or prior to the public hearing. All interested persons are invited to attend this hearing and express their opinion on the matters listed above.

“It’s going to be a tough challenge for sure,” said V.C. head coach Brendan Chambers. “They pass and run the ball really well and their running back is very good in space; we have to get to him early. I’m a little worried about their skilled guys; they have a couple of receivers who can really go. It’s going to be a challenge for us.”
Quarterback Jesus Gonzalez was 14 of 20 for 214 yards and threw three touchdowns while Lorenzo Sims rushed 21 times for 161 yards and Isaac Mata caught five passes for 81 yards and a touchdown.

think we’re a good team, too,” said Hefner. “I think it’s going to be a dogfight and when we play good in dogfights, Coach Chambers says he’s always going to take us. And I like our guys in a dogfight. [Ramona] has some speed, but I think we have good DB’s who can cover for sure. I’m looking forward to the game.”
“Just how they have gotten better each week,” said Chambers on what’s impressed him of his defense in the playoffs. “Being able to stop the run last week against a weak team, then going back to two weeks, we were able to stop the pass. I think they’ve been doing a great job of being able to stop the run and play the pass pretty well.”

final stanza.
“Prayers to Graham; hoping he gets better soon and all that,” said Sweeney. “It’s been great for me because I’ve worked so hard for a long time, too. So I get to finally come out here and show what I can do; show my skills that I’ve been working on for a long time.”
V.C.’s defense forced the Saints to punt after three plays to begin the game but couldn’t take advantage as Sweeney was picked off by Adam D’Amato near the end zone on third and one with seven minutes remaining in the opening quarter. The Saints, who were the 10th-seeded team, needed four plays to take the first lead as Jacob Gallegos, their leading rusher with over 1,250 yards, busted loose for a 53yard touchdown run. However, a bad snap from center resulted in a failed extra-point
attempt.
The Defenders, who are on a six-game winning streak, ended the stanza with four runs from senior Cole Hefner and four passing plays, then carried that momentum into the second quarter. Four plays in, Boateng scored from a yard out as V.C. took a 7-6 lead.
But the Saints bounced back and rode the legs of Gallegos, who ran eight times in a 10-play drive and scored when he caught a 34-yard pass from Brandon Meredith with 4:07 remaining in the half. The extra point was blocked and, from that point on, the hosts would muster just 44 yards on 22 plays.
“We kind of knew that they were going to get some points early and that they were going to move the ball early,” said Chambers. “We knew all along it was going to be blow to blow. A lot of teams would get down early against a running team, but they fought back.”
Meanwhile, V.C. responded and took nearly four minutes off the clock, capping off a 12-play, 61-yard drive with Boateng hauling in a 32-yard pass from Sweeney with 16 seconds left before halftime. Boateng, the team’s leading receiver with 14 touchdowns and nearly 1,000 yards, slipped through the defense and was uncontested as he ran toward the end zone.
“I feel like every week I come out here I’m just more comfortable, feeling better and getting more in the offense,” said Sweeney. “So it feels good.”
The turning point in the game came right out of the locker room when V.C. received the ball and held onto it for nearly seven and a half minutes. The end result was a 26-yard touchdown pass from Sweeney to senior Sean Bouma. The Defenders ran 13 plays and covered 83 yards, making sure they kept San Dimas’ wing-T offense off the field as much as possible. V.C. converted on third and 12, fourth and six, and fourth and
three on the drive.
“I knew we had to score; I knew that was very important,” said Chambers. “I didn’t think we would eat up that much of the clock doing so. Credit to the O-line; I called them out at halftime, and I said we were going to ride their shoulders.”
After the defense forced the second three-and-out of the contest, V.C. iced the game with a quick five-play drive that ended when Bouma caught a 33-yard scoring play from Sweeney with seven seconds left in the third quarter.
“Oliver has been a great player for us all year,” said Chambers. “We’re trying to find ways to get him the football. We put in a Wildcat package; we didn’t run it a lot because of their defense. We were mostly spread and some wing set. But we’re always trying to find ways to get him the ball. We know he’s dangerous in space, and he had that connection with Graham [Lunzer] and it’s just carried right over to Liam.
“And then Sean coming up huge a couple of plays for us… attention to football,” he continued. “That touchdown pass wasn’t exactly how we drew it up. He adjusted, Liam adjusted, and it was a touchdown. That’s just those guys making plays on the field.”
Boateng and Bouma each caught five passes with the former getting 63 yards and the latter 82 yards.
“Those are great guys; they work hard every day,” said Sweeney. “They come in here with a great attitude and are always for the team. We just have a great connection and they’re super talented. Sean is superfast, and Oliver has a big body and he’s fast, too. They’re great guys to throw to.”
“Liam has really stepped up,” said Boateng. “He’s stepped into a leadership role and looks really comfortable back there and it feels the same. I think we’re all just a close tight-knit group and our quarterback battle at the beginning of the year was close.”
Down by two touchdowns and a pair of two-point conversions, the Saints still stuck to their bread and butter, which was Gallegos. But V.C.’s defense held firm and limited him to 41 yards in the fourth quarter on a dozen carries while Meredith completed one pass for six yards. In fact, San Dimas could not get past the V.C. 43yard line in the second half.
Besides Sweeney and the plethora of receivers the Defenders have, Hefner carried the ball 23 times for 88 yards. He had entered the game as the team’s secondleading running back with 365 yards, as Lunzer was also running effectively prior to his injury with just over 500 yards.
“Getting Cole back there to run the football… he’s just a tough runner,” said Chambers. “He’s not going to have breakaway speed, but he’s going to get us those five or six yards, and when opponents start crashing up, that’s when we take a shot through the air. And I have to say, Liam has done a great job when we gave him the opportunity to throw the football.”
Hefner and junior linebacker Sam Melcher led the defense with five tackles each, while senior linebacker Lucas Witt added four tackles. Of the 39 plays the Saints ran on offense, the two long touchdowns and an 11-yard run by Gallegos were the only ones that went for double digits. San Dimas, which entered the game averaging 340 yards per game, was limited to 192 yards, and Gallegos, Meredith, and Keenan Hoyt were the only offensive players who touched the ball.
“We knew we were going to look for Gallegos in the beginning, and as the game went on, it was looking more and more familiar,” said Boateng. “He broke one pretty far, but after that, we kind of figured it out. We were just on him all night.”
