Letter from The Editor

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

New York was an amazing and inspirational experience spent with The Breeze. During the CMA (College Media Association) conference, I attended sessions about how to cover a sexual assault story and how to rule the media as women. Last year, I covered a sexual assault story without knowledge on how to cover a sensitive topic. After attending the session, I became inspired to write more sexual assault stories and bring awareness to others. During the women in media session, the empowerment towards women was extraordinary. The women in the room inspired me to work harder towards my goals and push myself to create the best work I can. In conclusion, I’d like to say congratulations to The Breeze and Hector Solozano for bringing a second place award for Best Multimedia Package at the CMA’s. I hope you all enjoy this Issue 7 as we enjoyed producing. Don’t forget to check us out at thebreezepaper.com and @thebreezepaper for more content.

College Entrance Troubles Sonya Sexton

e all know getting into a good college can be a very stressful time for both students and their parents, but most of them do not think about bribing administrators to let them in. This is exactly what two Hollywood actresses, multiple top CEOs and a well-known fashion designer are accused of doing. The scheme started in 2011 with the focus being on the owner of a for-profit college admissions company in Newport Beach. Wealthy parents paid the owner of this company, Edge College and Career Network, to help their children cheat on college entrance tests and doctor athletic records of the students in order to make sure they got into top notch schools, such as USC, UCLA, Stanford, Yale and Georgetown. Fifty people around academia and sports, as well as a group of rich parents, have been charged in what is being called the biggest college admissions scam to ever be prosecuted. According to authorities, a portion of the parents only took part in one part of the scheme, while the other portion were involved in everything. This plan took spots away from deserving students who worked hard to earn legitimate grades, test scores and athletic records. The list of charges against the owner of Edge College and Career Network<q data-camayakcomment=”This is the first time you’re mentioning this company, is this you “ class=” collapsed”>, William Rick Singer, includes money laundering, obstruction of justice, racketeering and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Prosecutors believe that Singer told the parents to donate money to a fake charity he founded as part of the scheme. A majority of the

parents paid more than $200,000, but others put in as much as $6.5 million to make sure their children got into the best universities. The parents were able deduct the money they paid from their income taxes, per the IRS. According to court records, Singer has been cooperating with authorities and already plead guilty to all charges on Tuesday in Boston.</q> The components of the scam were simple: Singer told the parents to ask for more time for their kids to take the ACT and SAT. On at least one occasion, a student claimed they had a learning disability in order to get medical forms needed by the College Board and ACT Inc. to approve additional time on the tests. Once the students were allowed to have the extra time, clients were then told to move the test to a public high school in Houston or a private college prep school in West Hollywood that Singer had control over. Students usually only get one day in a group setting to complete the test, but those who need extra time due to a disability get two days in an individual setting to finish. While students were at these locations, Singer gave the money the parents “donated” to test administrators Igor Dvorskiy in Los Angeles and Lisa “Niki” Williams in Houston in order to help them cheat on the test. There were also times when Singer changed the students’ answers after they finished the tests. The list of 50 people accused of being involved in this case

includes actress Felicity Huffman from Desperate Housewives and actress Lori Loughlin from Full House and Fuller House. Loughlin’s husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, is believed to be involved in the scandal as well. Huffman and her spouse William H. Macy were back in a Los Angeles court three days after she was let go on $250,000 bond. Authorities do not believe that Macy is a part of the scandal. Charges against Huffman are felony conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud, and the same charges have been filed against Loughlin and Giannulli. Huffman is accused of paying $15,000 to Singer’s charity to help her daughter cheat on her SAT tests, whereas Loughlin and Giannulli are said to have bribed officials for the USC crew team, totaling $500,000, to claim their two daughters as recruits, despite the girls not even participating in crew. No statements have been made by the actresses since this scandal has come to light, though Loughlin has been fired from Fuller House and Hallmark has cut ties with the actress. Huffman deleted all of her social media accounts last Friday.

Black Out

n 7 de marzo, Venezuela tuvo una falla en la red eléctrica dejando gran parte del país sin luz Las fallas origino en la hidroeléctrica del Guri dejando sin corriente a Caracas y 22 Estados. Casi 20 horas del incidente, buena parte seguía sumida en el colapso. La vista de Caracas era noche la de una ciudad espectral. Solo los edificios con generadores propios, principalmente hoteles, iluminaban tibiamente una urbe de más de seis millones de habitantes. A primera hora de 8 de marzo, el Gobierno ordenó la suspensión de la jornada laboral y lectiva. La vicepresidenta, Delcy Rodríguez, escribió en su cuenta de Twitter “ha suspendido las clases y jornadas laborales el día de hoy, en aras de facilitar los trabajos y esfuerzos para la recuperación del servicio eléctrico en el país, ¡víctima de la guerra eléctrica imperial!” En la tarde 7 de marzo también se vio afectado el servicio telefónico, tanto de voz como de datos, y el metro

de la capital interrumpió los viajes, obligando a miles de personas a buscar medios alternativos de transporte o a caminar kilómetros hasta sus hogares. El corte también afectó al aeropuerto de Maiquetía y el tráfico entre la costa y el distrito metropolitano de Caracas. El personal de migración tuvo que operar de forma manual, sin acceso a las bases de datos, y se cortó la información sobre los vuelos y las conexiones. Mas de cinco horas de las fallas, venezolanos en Caracas protestaron sobre las luces que el gobernando le esta llevado. Los comercios y vendedores hecho uso de medios de cobro electrónicos. Además el apagón se ha dejado sentir con fuerza en el comercio: sin luz, prácticamente ninguna transacción puede llevarse a cabo. Un residente de Caracas, Adriana Bellorín declaro con France Presse “Sin electricidad no puedo comprar.” A través de Twitter, La Corporación Eléctrica Nacional escribió “Esto es parte de la guerra eléctrica contra el Estado. ¡No lo

permitiremos! Estamos trabajando para recuperar el servicio” El presidente de Venezuela Nicolas Maduro ha ofrecido varias explicaciones para el corte de energía, incluido el sabotaje interno, un arma de pulso electromagnético y un ciberataque liderado por los Estados Unidos. El ministro de Información de Venezuela, Jorge Rodrigues, dijo que la elctricidad se restauró al 100%, y agregó: “El presidente Nicolás Maduro decidió reanudar las actividades laborales en todo el país” La electricidad ha regresado a Venezuela después de que el país se hundió en la oscuridad, pero el acceso a agua no se pude beber El apagón empeoró la calidad del agua potable en el país, y muchos residentes informaron sobre lo que parecía ser agua negra contaminada con petróleo que salía de sus grifos. Además es dificultó la utilidad de bombear el agua a los hogares.

BREEZING THROUGH N.Y.C. I

n the beginning of March, The Breeze took a trip to New York City to participate and compete in the College Media Association awards and to learn about journalism in the real world. The College Media Association (CMA) is an organization dedicated to serving student media programs across the nation. Journalism students from different states gathered to attend the conference and embark on an unforgettable educational experience. For students within this field, access to resources, mentors and networking opportunities is invaluable. The CMA’s Spring Nationals were held at the Marriott-Marquis in Times Square, a three-day event focused around guiding students to be successful as well as showcasing exceptional work produced by some of the institutes in attendance. Professors hosted sessions on a variety of topics, as well as editors and reporters from VICE, Marie Claire, NBC and the Washington Post. From digital rebranding, tips on working freelance and covering sexual assault, there was an array of resources made available to The Breeze. Moreover, several students from the program received the opportunity to tour media organizations such as PBS, VICE, Pro Publica and Good Morning America. Beyond the conference, there was an opportunity that the ma-

For the third consecutive year, The Breeze received the opportunity to attend the CMA’s. In 2018, The Breeze won an award for Best Newspaper as a 2-year school. This year, The Breeze received a second place award for Best Multimedia Package. The students took a breeze through Central Park, Times Square, The Bronx and more. Others moved with ease on the trains and on the streets, navigating from The Empire State Building to the surrounding area of New York University and back to the Marriott-Marquis hotel on Broadway Ave. During the conference, the CMA provided key note speakers to attendees each day. The final speaker, Felice Leon, touched on the importance of covering black stories in their true light. She spoke about police brutality, the Black Lives Matter movement and Lifetime’s Surviving R. Kelly documentary. Once her speech was over many students in attendance felt compelled to enlighten themselves more and ask questions. By Sunday Mar. 10, a group of students prepared for their flight back to Rancho Cucamonga. Students shared a meal and began to reflect on what they learned. Whether it be a desire to live in New York, a rekindled passion for the industry or a new plan to revitalize The Breeze back home, there was something

HUMANS OF CHAFFEY

WOMAN OF CHAFFEY INSPIRES PODCAST BY KENYA STALEY / @KENYASTALEY

ucked away in the corner of the newsroom, Skin Deep’s host Raylene Camerano quickly bustled into class wearing a ‘You Matter’ sweatshirt by comedian Demetrius Harmon. “It’s super warm, super comfortable, highly recommend. I don’t know if you’ve seen this?” she asked as she sniffled her nose a few times, holding back congestion from being sick all week. Jokingly dusting off crumbs from her sleeves, she revealed the ‘I feel weak but I am strong’ in micro font that gives small glimpses of hope throughout the day. It was clear she felt a sense of pride in wearing a sweater to help others feel seen. In late 2018, Camerano dropped the first episode of her podcast series Skin Deep with guests Katie Priest and Paris Barraza. Inspired by The Atlas of Beauty by Mihaela Noroc, the podcast began as a passion project for a Journalism-10 course. Taking over 4 years to finish, Mihaela Noroc’s book is a compilation of photos from women around the world challenging the idea of standard beauty. “I just really wanted to localize it and bring it to the women of Chaffey.” Camerano explained. Currently on Medium, Raylene originally set out to produce a photo essay that embodied the diversity of women at Chaffey College. Soon after it was released, the host decided to produce a video that she later disclosed she wasn’t too happy with. Understandably, she craved more for herself. “The video didn’t really pan out as well as I thought it would so we actually turned it into a PSA,” said Camerano. “I had never tried out a podcast. So, I thought it’d be really cool to talk to two strong independent women and get their views on life, what they’ve gone through and just talk to some students about it.” It’s difficult to ignore the prevalent theme of motherhood in the first episode. Raylene, Paris and Katie each share stories of how their mothers shaped their idea of beauty from a young age. Moreover, they discuss what beauty means to them now and where exactly their mother figures went wrong in teaching a narrow idea of beauty culture. Like Katie and Paris, Raylene reinsured that she loves and appreciates the maternal figures in her life, they just have minor disagreements on what ‘being pretty’ means to them. Raised by her mother, grandma and great-grandma, Skin Deep’s host felt the pressure of beauty standards from every corner in her life. “I never really knew what side to pull to,” said Camerano “the part where it’s the insecurities, I guess it stemmed from being so sporty as a child because she definitely pushed sports on me. I mean I loved it, I played sports well into my teenage years but it definitely had an impact because I played with the boys a lot and I was taught to be ashamed of that.”

Hesitant at first, she illustrated the complexities of growing up with three women who each have different ideas of beauty. From her mother, she felt the importance of being athletic but from her grandma she felt the pressure of wearing dresses and skirts. She confessed that she never wore dresses or skirts as a child, so the occasions she did she was made fun of for it. “It’s confusing, you know?” said Camerano. “Being a kid and not being able to express yourself without ridicule” However she expressed herself, she never felt like it was enough but during Skin Deep she admits that although it’s taken a long time, she has finally come into her own - which is why she wanted to share it with the world on the podcast. Finding your own idea of beauty is a nook not everyone finds, but Raylene feels lucky she has. “Everyone’s opinions are going to be different and you should never take them as fact. It’s all about how you view yourself. And that’s not stemming from only physical appearance. It’s I am beautiful because of my personality, the things that I like and dislike, it’s the things that make you, you.”

FILM STAR ON THE ROLL

dam Stevenson recently starred in a short film, titled Control, about a skateboarder in college who tries to put his life back on track. The film was directed by Justin La Turno. The two film majors became friends in a film class. The two film majors became friends in a film class. Stevenson often rides his skateboard around campus to kill some time, which was the initial inspiration for the film. Stevenson said, “Basically, Justin came to me, I think when he saw an Instagram post from me and my friend talking about how skateboarding is therapeutic and relaxing because you’re in complete control of the board.” La Turno wrote the main character according to his perception of Stevenson. “He sent me the script and it was all super smooth. Justin had everything

planned out so it wasn’t stressful,” said Stevenson. Since this was Stevenson’s first time acting, he was initially nervous because everyone else working on the project had been taking acting classes for years. After they started filming, he said it was natural because he just had to act like himself. Stevenson loves filmmaker Wes Anderson, the director of movies like The Royal Tenenbaums and The Grand Budapest Hotel, especially for his use of colors and symbolism. He also greatly admires the French New Wave cinematic movement. The film that had the largest impact on him was François Truffaut’s 1973 classic, Day For Night. He said, “It’s an old French film about making a movie, like a movie within a movie, and it shows all the drama on set with everyone’s jobs. I remember falling in love with it.”

Stevenson told me about how he first became interested in filmmaking, saying, “Ever since I was a kid I was always into creative things like dancing and fashion. I began taking it seriously after taking a video production class in high school during my junior year and then I became fascinated by cinema in general.” What he loves most about cinema is “the process of it.” He said, “After I graduated high school, I worked as an intern under Weston James Palmer, a high fashion clothing designer, and helped make films for his clothing line, called ‘Sex’. The clothes were all gender-neutral. We’d collaborate with other artists for videos, and I just loved seeing all of it come together.” Stevenson is currently working on several other film projects.

One-size-fits Emma Donnelly @emmakdonnelly14

The unknown of whether a pair of jeans will fit perfect or barely button up can turn a fitting room into a scary place. It may be intimidating, not fitting into the pair of pants of the shirt you want and having to get the next size up. The self-confidence battle lies within the wide variety of pant sizes offered by different companies.You may be a size six at one store but size eight at another. Chaffey College students are no stranger to the daunting atmosphere of changing rooms. “It really does make me feel fat. I start to question my life choices,” Gienne Behnke, Chaffey student, remarks about her own struggles she faces when walking into the fitting rooms. Over the years, Behnke has become a smart shopper, figuring out what brands work best for her. She realizes some brands run bigger than what she is used to and some run smaller. “It is kind of demoralizing when one’s regular size jeans are too small,” remarked Behnke. “American Eagle sizes really well. New York and Company run big and Hollister runs too small.” Not all jeans work for all bodies, however. Each body is different and different people feel more confident in different brands.

none

Chaffey student Kelsie Vargas, feels most confident when she sports a pair of Levis. She mentions how she believes Levis makes jeans for all shapes and sizes, herself included. Vargas also noticed how some companies only produce products for certain images. “A lot of companies make jeans for a certain body type, which makes it hard for me to find a pair that fits good with my body,” Vargas remarks on the struggle to find good jeans. “It takes time to find out what size I really am.” First-year Chaffey student Anthony Villalobos mentions how he does not like a number put on him. Villalobos does now allow a waistband to get him down or a number define him. Villalobos chooses to “transcend all jean sizes,” and refuses to feel shame about the size he wears. Consumers have started to call out many clothing brands for the way they size their clothes. Many producers have smaller waistbands correlating with larger numbers. Throughout time, what was once a smaller size, is now considered a larger size. According to an article by Time Magazine on how to take back the dressing room, a size eight bust measured 31 inches in 1967, but a size eight bust measures 36 inches today. A size eight in 1967 would be equivalent to a size double zero.

Clothing agencies marking sizes down as smaller than they are is called vanity sizing. This is when companies take sizes and stick a tag with a smaller size to appeal to the buyer who wants to wear a smaller size. However, this is not always perfect, as each company freely decides what sizes to downsize and which do not. According to the same Time article, a size eight varies in measurements across many different stores. A size eight at H&M in 2012 had a bust of 34.5 inches, waist of 28.5 inches and hips of 37.75 inches. The same size at Anthropologie has a bust measurement of 37 inches, waist of 29 inches and hip measurement of 39 inches. With all these different franchises creating such different sizing charts, it can be difficult and hard on one’s self-esteem, to try on numerous sizes of jeans just trying to look for the perfect pair. For Vargas and Behnke it is important to find the store that suits them better and find the best pair of jeans or pants for them, the pair that makes them feel confident and like themselves.

A s k i n g F o r a n I d e a l S e n a t o r Nadine Hale Hautea

lections are coming up for Chaffey College Student Government Senators. It is an antecedent, a new chance for a torrent of campus improvements to happen. (What do senators do in general). As a previous Senator, take my word -this position can change lives within the organization and on the outside of it. In order for that to happen, a Senator must be responsible, interested, bold, (different than being introvert or quiet. You must take action and a frequently available chance to do so involves speaking up) and willing to be knowledgeable(dont be ignorant about what goes on on campus, know whos who, and know what you care about. Another point is dont strive to do everything, there are 25 of you guys,thats why its important to know what your focus will be.)As Senators, Student Government our responsibility in addition to academics, work, and personal commitments. With that, I think it’s important to have a life outside of CCSG. At the same time, it would help the organization to consistently be engaged with discussions and to remember when to step away from work, another word being allocating or saying “No, maybe next time” -but not saying that all the time.

April 12, 2019

@Nadinehale.jtm One of the interviews I’ve had following was with a County Supervisor (a local politician.) She shared she’d learned that people shouldn’t go into .politics just because they think they have the skills to do the job. I learned a lot about leadership from Senate. They keep digging, finding questions and considering more than what a superficial interest could enable a person to do. Without interest, it is easy to just say “Yes” to proposals and let things pass. What would be more preferable is to breakdown more topics, to try to understand more than the superficial, keeping in mind that meetings last for so long. But there should be the will to stay even if time gets pushed, so that a “Yes” is without reason. I can say this. I’ve been in the place where I’ve let things pass by not asking, while I’ve been where I’ve asked. Prior I refer to the ideal Senator. Some mistakes I’ve made are not being bold sooner... Going through Student Government helped me further discern what I want in life. It did just that by helping me realize what I care about.

It’s not that I don’t care about my team or helping people. It’s just I would help people in a different way, not necessarily by having to go to meetings where I’m required to listen and not do my digital media work at the same time, even though that work is related to Student Government and would help my schedule. Once again bringing up the point that if constraints you’d run into as a Senator are getting in the way of how you handle your life, I suggest seeing what can be done. I believe in my case, the bylaws could not be changed at the time, so that situation couldn’t change. There’s always the option to resign. Remember to be fair to the other Senators work wise and to yourself. You may have it in you to push, unleash your potential. If you find the organization or work is not your match, then step away and move on. I don’t have to be a Senator to execute on similar work. I figured I actually am VERY interested in politics, though I didn’t see this while I WAS IN politics.. Being said, this is a tremendous opportunity that, when taken advantage of by the right people, will engage students

WOMAN TO MARVEL CIARA DE ALBA / @CIARA_MIST97

n 2008, the Marvel Universe began with the release of Iron Man, with Robert Downey Jr. as the leading man superhero. Shortly after in the same year the Incredible Hulk, played by Edward Norton was released, and soon after a second Iron Man film was released. Once again not long after that Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, was introduced in 2011 as another male superhero added to the Marvel Universe. After DC Comic’s release of Wonder Woman in 2017, it left many fans wondering where was Marvel’s cinematic superhero release featuring a woman lead. Up until 2019, Marvel Studios went on to feature more male superheroes in the own film installments, including Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and Black Panther. Captain Marvel became Marvel Studios’ first woman cinematic superhero when it was recently released on March 8th, also landing on National Woman’s Day. On the film’s opening weekend it reached over $153 million in box office domestically, making it the second highest solo Marvel film next to Black Panther. In the film Captain Marvel faces issues head on with a fiery ferocity, making her fly high above not only her enemies but everyone else surrounding her in the film. This superhero has definitely left her mark on Marvel history with her behind the creation of the Avengers. Since the film’s release critiques and fans of the Marvel Studios’ Universe have openly shared their thoughts on the strong portrayal of the woman superhero. Chaffey student Jocelyn Garcia expands further on the role Captain Marvel portrayed within the film. “Not only did she overcome issues within the fictitious world of Marvel, but she also overcame symbolic obstacles for womankind.” Brie Larson, Captain Marvel’s leading woman, who has also been a known advocate for woman in the film industry, shares her gratitude as to what the film means to her in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “The very nature of this film means that I’m having conversations that I’d like to have about what it means to be a woman. What strength looks like, the complexities of the female experience, female representation [...]” Brie Larson is expected to return onscreen as Captain Marvel once again in Marvel Studios’ next installment, Avengers: Endgame, on April 26. 17

MLB Changes Rules Edward Lopez @americaneddie25

ajor League Baseball and the MLB Players Association has decided to implement new rules for the 2019 MLB season. The new rule are that the trade deadline will remain on July 31, the all star game will have an election day prior to announcing the all star game reserves and starting lineup, the amount of mound visits has been reduced to 5 visits instead of 6 visits, and the winner of the home run derby will be awarded the $2.5 million dollars. After speaking to Chaffey students Chris Stanley and Yzzy Arias about the new rules implemented by Major League Baseball. They both agreed that MLB players are being over entitled for being awarded an extra $2.5 million. However they agreed that it would benefit players that aren’t getting million dollar year contracts. Players like Francisco Lindor and Carlos Correa who aren’t getting paid in the millions. Indian’s all star shortstop Francisco Lindor’s contract entails that he receives $643,000 per year, while the average player receives $2 million dollars. Astro’s all star shortstop Carlos Correa’s contract entails him to $1.25 million dollars a year. Francisco Lindor’s 2018 season consisted of a .277 batting average, 38 home runs and

97 runs batted in. In 2017 Carlos Correa had a batting average of .315, 24 home runs and 84 runs batted in. Chris Stanley says “Bryce Harper or Manny Machado will not be going to benefit from getting awarded an extra $2.5 million. Players who are getting paid by the millions aren’t going to get any benefit from getting an extra 2 million. However, if players like Francisco Lindor or Carlos Correa who are getting paid in the hundred thousands were to get into the derby and potentially win the derby, they would definitely get a serious benefit from winning.” Yzzy says “I think that the extra money that is being awarded to these players is stupid because they are already getting paid so much money, why do they need more? Plus they’re getting a car or truck what more do they want?” When asked if it would benefit players who are getting in the thousands, she responds with “It would benefit them but if they want more money, perform like you deserve that money.”

EIGHT TEAMS BATTLE FOR RYAN GIBSON @RYGIBS

n March 14, the Chaffey College Panther basketball battled the Fresno City College (FCC) Rams in the California Community College Athletic Associations’ (CCCAA) men’s basketball Elite Eight tournament. The Panther’s season came to an end as the FCC Rams held off a late comeback to win the game with a score of 68-56. Prior to our arrival, the Citrus College Owls defeated the Sequoias Community College (SCC) Giants 70-59 to advance to the Final Four. After two games, the event was in full swing with two games to go. The Santa Monica Community College (SMCC) Pirates fought hard to hold off the San Francisco City College (SFCC) Rams, but fell short in the final minutes of regulation. SFCC was able to pull off the 71-68 win, setting the stage for the final showdown of the day between the Fullerton City College (FCC) Hornets and the Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) Bear Cubs. Going into the Elite Eight, SRJC came off of a controversial win versus the Gavilan College (GC) Rams at the buzzer. In the final seconds, Gavilan hit a hook shot over Santa Rosa’s Skyler Chavez (#33), down 68-66. The score would have tied the game at 68 to send it into overtime if not for a foul that could have gone either way. (Page 1) Lucas Zemen of SMC prepares to shoot free throws. (Page 2, from top-left) Fullerton center, Ronne Readus (12), makes a post move over Santa Rosa’s Nick Cole (24) and Landon Courtman (34). Opposing team waits for Lucas Zemen’s free throw.

“Santa Rosa wasn’t even supposed to be here. The game ended on a shot to tie the game and a foul. With both teams thinking they were headed to the elite eight,” Chaffey College’s Head Coach Jeff Klein says, “the call could have gone either way. It was either to be called a blocking foul against Santa Rosa to send the game into overtime or a charging foul discarding the final score. As the two teams waited, the refs returned with a charging foul to send Santa Rosa to play Fullerton College.” Jeff Klein spoke to us after the game. When asked about the team and what they can do to carry the momentum into next season, he cited performances by all state Forward, Kehasson ‘Manu’ Oulai who averaged a double-double over the season. “Manu” is a 6’8” freshman from the Ivory Coast and a key player to the Panthers’ success this season. The star forward is shooting 59.4 percent from the field averaging 15.9 points per game and 10.6 rebounds per game. ‘Manu’ has been the driving force behind this team since the start of the season. Klein also cites performances by sophomores Jordan McCullough and Anthony Garcia. Looking at his roster going into next season, Klein believes that Aaron Johnson, Deron Williams, Davie Bailey, and ‘Manu’ will be the cornerstone players going into next season. The seasons of SRJC, CC, SMJC, and SCC end short of the ultimate goal, leaving just four teams left in contention for a state championship. This Saturday, Fullerton City College will face off against Fresno City College and the Citrus College Owls are set to battle the San Francisco City College Rams for a bid at a State Championship and the banner that hangs forever. (Mid-left) San Francisco City College’s David Parsons (24) takes the contested shot over three Santa Monica College defenders. Fullerton center, Ronne Readus (12), makes a post move over Santa Rosa’s Nick Cole (24) and Landon Courtman (34). SMC player is being helped by coaching staff while on ground.

Congrats to the Chaffey Mens Basketball Team
