Mission Viejo won today's Battle at the Beach passing tournament at Edison HS. They beat Mater Dei 18-13 on the last play of the game in the semifinals, and then shut out St. John Bosco 21-0 in the title game. Well... At least our only 2 losses were to the 2 finalists. And yes, that and a nickel is still 5 cents. I didn’t see any mention of the 3rd place game between MD and Bosco? What was the score?

There is no third place game.

There is no third place game. I didn’t think so. Brick said MD lost to the 2 finalists. Correct me if I am wrong but MD and Bosco did not play yesterday.

I think he meant Los Alamitos lost to the two finalists -- Bosco and Mission Viejo.

Yep... That's what he meant.
Mission seemed like they were on a mission yesterday. Semonza and Matthews were particularly sharp.

Some other scuttlebutt from that tourney is that Iameleva, the Warren Q xfer to Poly will skip his senior year altogether.
Wouldn't be a huge surprise if others followed suit.

Why would you skip your senior season? You still have school to finish. I guess if the money is in his pocket already.

Risk of injury. Millions of $$ may now be at stake for certain HS athletes, and like it or not, changes the paradigm.

heard Nico might be playing his senior year in Tennessee.
Nico has changed so much. Wish that kid well. I thought he was the best out of the '23 class but things are coming too fast for this kid.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nico apparently has a $8M NIL deal in Tennessee. Although I don’t like it, I can’t blame the kid. It’s a smart business decision, although we are heading down a path that is ruining the game IMO.

I don't see how this is sustainable from a business perspective. Reminds me of the pet rock days.
Why would a business pay that kind of $$ for an unproven HS kid's endorsement?

The first day that a 7th-grader on our 4-Vertical team refuses to play because he doesn't want to risk losing his NIL deal to injury, I'm out.

It's coming bro..., we have created a system that keeps trickling down..... some day there might even be football player "futures" where you buy claim to a fetus in a womb created by top notch athletes...., its just like when you say "what could be next" and it just gets crazier.
