Several of the top high school football players in Southern California competed in the 3rd annual 4th Quarter Sports 7v7 Shootout at Salesian high school Sunday. The athletes braved stormy weather conditions and nearly 12 hours of action before a champion was crowned.

In the finale, Team FCA defeated GameChangers to take home the trophy. Team FCA was led by Long Beach Poly quarterback Josh Love, Buena Park receiver Jaylinn Hawkins, Orange Lutheran athlete Hudson Hankins and several other talented D1Bound prospects.

Southern California has the spotlight for National Signing Day coverage in 2014, and rightfully so. A few of the nation's top recruits who have yet to announce their decisions hail from Socal. Adoree' Jackson, Damien Mama & JuJu Smith will shock the world today.

Other notable recruits from California include Joe Mixon, who is slated to announce his commitment to Oklahoma, along with UCLA future signees Jaleel Wadood, Adarius Pickett and Jordan Lasley.

The Salesian Mustangs captured the CIFSS Northeast Division Championship with a dominating 34-0 victory over the Mission Prep Royals of San Luis Obispo Saturday night in front of a rocking sold-out crowd at Bishop Mora Salesian High School.

The Salesian Mustangs rolled to a 50-12 victory in their home opener against the Hanford West Huskies on Saturday afternoon.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Mustangs exploded for 30 points in the second. Arizona commit Rodney Carr broke the ice with a short touchdown run to give Salesian the lead. The two-point conversion made the score 8-0.

A long kick return by the Huskies gave them good field position. Hanford West quarterback Tyler Bakker moved them into scoring position with some solid completions but the Salesian D stepped up and forced a turnover on downs.

The Arizona Wildcats landed a pair of talented teammates Wednesday night when Salesian linebacker Jamardre Cobb and defensive end Marquis Ware committed to attend school and play football in Tucson. The standout defenders are an intimidating force on the Mustangs defense. Cobb and Ware will join fellow Mustang Rodney Carr in Tucson.

CLA had the chance to catch up with Jamardre Cobb to discuss his decision.
