Why Santiago’s Loss Was Really A Win

DSC_0009_2

Last Friday August 30th, Fox Sports West televised a well known California high school powerhouse Hart High versus a lesser known Santiago High of Corona. It was the first time that the Santiago Sharks had been on Fox Sports and to create added excitement for Santiago it was a home game. The game was hot and humid with the field temperature well over 90 degrees at night. Anytime an Inland Empire school is on television they represent more than just a school but an an entire region and the credibility of its caliber of football.

In a high scoring game, Hart jumped out on Santiago and looked to be on its way to embarrassing the Sharks at home and in front of many more on television. What transpired for the rest of the game was a gritty performance by Santiago,  that will without a doubt be a factor in CIF this season and a “coming out party” for Santiago’s junior quarterback Blake Barnett. If you didn’t know who Blake Barnett was prior to the game, he had better be all over your radar from this point on.

Santiago proved not only that they are the real deal, but it was a BIG statement about the depth of Inland Empire football with them being in the same league as Corona Centennial. While a win is always better than a loss, this loss was also a win!

I.E. Prep’s Magazine Scholar Athlete of the Year Chase Krivashei

I.E. Prep's Magazine Scholar Athlete of the Year Chase Krivashei

By J .R. Rucker

According to Webster’s Dictionary a scholar is “a person who has done advanced study in a special field.” Chase Krivashei, a senior wide receiver at Corona Centennial High School is a student of life, academics, and football and is I.E. Prep’s 2013 Scholar Athlete of the Year.

To watch Krivashei on film it does not take long to see that talent and speed alone have not made him one of the best big game players in Southern California. Excellent hands and route running ability are there as well as the awareness that comes from hours of studying film and the opposition. It’s no surprise that Centennial Coach Matt Logan had no hesitation in calling #3’s number all season in 2012. Where most receivers would have struggled with a new quarterback, Chase Krivashei thrived playing his best football in the post season helping his team win big games including the CIF championship and an appearance in the State Championship game.

In baseball there is a 40/40 club for the few select players that hit 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases. Chase Krivashei can start his own club as a member of the 4.4 Club. A player with 4.4 speed in the 40 yard dash and a 4.4 grade point average! Always a team player and willing to do whatever it takes for his team Krivashei is sure to be a leader and impact player at the next level at whatever school he decides to attend. A great example to any young athlete entering high school, Chase Krivashei is the epitome of a scholar athlete and proves hard work does pay off, on and off the field.
