Congratulations to Charles Solomon, whose team is ranked 23rd. Way to go, Charles.

And thanks to a reader, I've been made aware of a great afternoon tournament Feb. 6 at Mater Dei:

3 p.m. - Dana Hills vs. St Paul
4:30 p.m. - Santa Margarita vs. Villa Park
6 p.m. - Foothill vs. Long Beach Wilson
7:30 p.m. - Cajon vs. Mater Dei

It is the first of a two-day Nike Extravaganza Tournament.

I've wanted to see Foothill, Mater Dei and Santa Margarita for the longest. Mater Dei is the only undefeated team left, and I've heard great things about Foothill.

I will have to beat it out of school the second the bell rings and get on the road before traffic gets too bad. I'm excited!
