The St. John Bosco Braves defeated the Alemany Warriors 56-14 Friday night in Mission Hills to advance to the CIFSS Pac-5 Championship game.

The undefeated Braves were led by the stellar play of senior Jaleel Wadood, who stepped up for Bosco with two touchdowns and two interceptions on the night.

St. John Bosco took the early 7-0 lead on a sweet touchdown strike from junior Josh Rosen to Wadood.

At 6'4 215, Josh Rosen has a formidable presence on and off the football field. Rosen doesn't carry himself like the typical high school sophomore and he's well aware of this fact. According to the 2015 QB recruit, maturity comes with the territory.

"You have to become mature beyond your years very quickly, especially at the quarterback position," Rosen told CLA Sports.

At 6'1 230, Chandler Leniu is already built like a Division I starting middle linebacker. The junior had a monstrous season last year for St. John Bosco Braves. Leniu led the league in tackles and catapulted his team into the CIF playoffs.

CLA had the chance to speak with Chandler's dad Dave Leniu about what the recruiting process has been like recently.

Today's opening day of the NFA 7on7 passing tournament at Newbury Park High School was well worth the journey. Several of the country's top 7on7 teams were on display. The Gamebreakers, who are coached by former USC Trojan and NFL defensive lineman Chris Claiborne, in addition to the Snoop Dogg All-Stars, B2G Sports and Ground Zero were a few of the top teams who competed on Saturday.

The early games brought excitement to a crowd full of spectators that included parents, fans, players and media, but things got a bit more exciting once the stadium lights were turned on.

The Long Beach Poly Jackrabbits pulled out a heart-stopping 61-59 victory over the St. John Bosco Braves in front of a packed house at Cerritos College to advance in the CIF Open Division Championships.

With the game tied at 59 and 11 seconds to play, Poly senior Roschon Prince drove into the lane and barreled over a Braves defender. It was a close play but the officials chose to swallow their whistles and the ball bounced right to senior Jordan Bell for the game-winning lay up as time expired.

LB Poly vs Bosco: Full Game Highlight Mix

St. John Bosco junior standout defensive back Naijiel Hale is primed for a sensational senior season in 2013. The ball-hawking corner just landed a scholarship offer from Nebraska. The black shirt Cornhusker defense would welcome the addition of a talent like Hale.

Boise State has also offered while Oregon, UCLA and Northwestern are just a few of the programs interested in Naijiel's services. As the recruiting process heats up, CLA expects Hale to continue to reel in offers from big time programs.

Jaleel Wadood is that dude. As one of the top defensive back recruits on the West Coast, Wadood is stacking scholarship offers like pancakes, and it's no short stack either. The St. John Bosco 2014 DB has racked up offers from ten top Division I programs since last year.

Wadood's most recent offer came today from the Pac-12. Washington State reached out to the Bosco coaching staff and made contact with Wadood to become his tenth official scholarship offer.

The Cougars are currently in a rebuilding phase, but that doesn't mean Wadood is sleeping on their offer either.

The St. John Bosco Braves overpowered the Tesoro Titans 38-17 on a frigid night in Bellflower to advance in the Pac 5 playoffs. The Braves will face Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) next week.

Both teams settled for field goals early. With the game tied 3-3, the Braves took the lead on 7-yard touchdown run by Darren Walker.

Tesoro answered with an explosive 57-yard touchdown burst from senior running back Nate Tago.

St. John Bosco sophomore quarterback Josh Rosen connected with junior running back Lonell Woodhouse on a 22-yard touchdown pass to give the Braves a 17-10 advantage.

Another year, another disappointing loss to the Stanford Cardinal football team for the Men of Troy. Unfortunately, the USC Trojans walked out with a loss last Saturday that dropped the potential title contenders down the ranks. It was a tough loss that left heartbreak in everyone from the fans to the coaches to the players.
