It’s no secret that Long Beach Poly’s offense will lead with its run game, as it has for most of the team’s 100+ year history. The Jackrabbits threw it just 14 times out of 58 plays against Millikan last week, and could absolutely have a similar ration against Wilson and for the rest of the […]
Lakewood showed its marked improvement in a Thursday afternoon sweep at Millikan 25-13, 25-19, 25-23. The co-Moore League leading Lancers dropped a set at home to the Rams last month, but got some payback by becoming the first league team to sweep Millikan this season. “When we played them the first time they took the […]
Last year, Long Beach Poly’s offense struggled early in the season before finding its footing behind a strong rushing attack led by an experienced offensive line and a breakout rushing star in Elijah Juarez. This year, you could write virtually the exact same sentence except replace Juarez’s name with Malachi Rice. The senior running back […]
The Eric Valenzuela era with the Long Beach State Dirtbags will begin with the difficult nonconference schedule left behind for him. LBSU will host five different Pac-12 opponents next year after opening the season against Cal on Feb. 14 at Bohl Diamond at Blair Field.

Long Beach Poly went into the season believing that their offensive line was the best unit on the team, with confidence they’d be able to run the ball and assert themselves whenever they wanted to. The rushing attack and pass protection was uneven against powerhouse opponents like Punahou and Serra, but by and large the […]
The Wilson passing attack can do a little bit of everything, and they’re hoping that’s the secret to success against a hungry Poly secondary. Quarterback Ryan Pettway has developed into a very efficient passer in his third year behind center. The senior has thrown for 1,358 yards and 19 touchdowns while completing 73 percent of […]

The Bruins have a pair of fresh running backs ready to run headlong once more unto the breach that is the Poly front seven. Senior Dillon Harris is the speedy starter, and senior Peter Sio is the interesting newcomer with a specific style. “He has the rugby style running, a little high but they twist […]
Wilson’s front five is its strength with seniors Jakob Belton and Adrian Tejada at tackle, seniors Jaylen Ferrera and Justin Navarro at guard, and senior Terren Monette at center. They average 6’3” and 268 pounds as the biggest offensive line the Bruins have had under Ziegenhagen. They’ve been able to stay healthy and helped the […]
