Vista Murrieta's Slater chooses USC
By Eric-Paul Johnson July 13, 2010 10:04 PM
Vista Murrieta track and football standout Jovonte Slater has accepted a scholarship offer from USC, Slater's father, Dedrick, said by phone Tuesday evening.
Dedrick Slater said the scholarship offer is for track and field, but he also noted the institution has given Jovonte the option to compete in football, as well.
Broncos QB Brown chooses Utah
By LANDON NEGRI - Posted: June 28, 2010 8:03 pm
Derrick Brown really considered playing close to home in San Diego. Then he fell in love with Salt Lake City.
Brown on Sunday verbally committed to a football scholarship offer to the University of Utah, making him the third Vista Murrieta player to dot the Utes roster.
While the lineage is nice, Brown, the Broncos senior quarterback, said it had little to do with his decision. Rather, it was more the camp he attended two weeks ago and his interaction with Utah coaches that sold him on the campus.
UH adds 2 from California
BY Stephen Tsai HawaiiWarriorBeat.com Editor
In moves worthy of a block party, the Hawai'i football team secured verbal commitments from two California high school standouts.
Vista Murrieta High cornerback John Hardy-Tuliau, who is credited with setting a California state record for blocked kicks, and Ocean View High center Kody Afusia, a skilled run- and pass-blocker, have agreed to accept scholarship offers from the Warriors.

Battered and beaten and licking his wounds, Mitch Glasmann walked into offensive coordinator Jon Mitchell's classroom after Chaparral's midseason loss to Vista Murrieta ---- a backbreaker by some observers' accounts ---- and learned the key to his team's plan for the second half of the season: The Pumas' were loading their hopes on Glasmann's back. Their 6-foot-4 quarterback was really going to start taking a beating now.

Temecula school wins CIF title in front of 7,000 fans

Chaparral High School made sure Vista Murrieta wasn't able to complete its checklist, defeating the Broncos 13-7 Friday night in the championship game of the CIF Southern Section Inland Division.
A sign hanging on a fence in front of the Vista Murrieta bleachers read "city, check; valley, check; CIF" with an empty box for one more checkmark.

Chaparral and Vista Murrieta meet in first-ever all-area CIF SS football final
JEFF SANDERS - | Posted: Friday, December 11, 2009 12:35 am
MURRIETA ---- An all-Southwestern League final? The idea isn't a shock to Corona Centennial coach Matt Logan, a five-time winner on this stage and the defending state champion.
His Huskies, after all, went through three Southwestern League teams a year ago ---- Vista Murrieta in the quarterfinals, Murrieta Valley in the semis and Chaparral in the finals ---- before claiming the 2008 CIF Southern Section Inland Division title. He'd be eying No. 6 tonight if it weren't for Chaparral upending Centennial with an overtime thriller last week.

MURRIETA ---- He sent his sons through Chaparral. He sat on the committee that hired Vista Murrieta's founding head football coach. He mentored the Pumas' offensive coordinator a generation ago. He tutors the Broncos' starting quarterback.
Pressure doesn't affect Brown
Brown, Glasmann leading the Broncos, Pumas in the huddle and on the field

MURRIETA ---- Fourth-and-7 and less than three minutes left. Vista Murrieta’s season was hanging in the balance.
Casey Marquez looked across the huddle and into Derrick Brown’s eyes and saw the same kind of resolve Chaparral offensive lineman Randy Patterson has seen in Mitch Glasmann during a playoff run that landed the Pumas in the CIF Southern Section Inland Division championship game on Friday at Vista Murrieta.

Update: The senior safety is drawing Division II interest after racking up 76 tackles, two blocked kicks, a sack and an interception in the regular season. He has also rushed for seven touchdowns this year, including a 2-yard score in the Broncos' 38-17 win over Corona Santiago. Vista Murrieta (11-0) will play at Redlands (9-2) on Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the second round of the CIF Southern Section Inland Division Playoffs.
