    "It isn't about the quality of the job, it's about the quality of the job you do." High School seniors in athletics or not, should take two minutes and listen to this extraordinary clip from Pete Carroll recently. It could make the difference in your life. @CoachLok

    Interesting question posted by @latbbolch during Mick Cronin presser yesterday, "Why can't the AAU system be fixed?" Here is his answer. Sure would like to get the thoughts of @RonMFlores @trigonis30 @MattyK31 @FrankieBur @Devin_Ugland @JoelFranHoops @LACourtReport and others.

    This is like watching Tiger Woods on the driving range two decades ago.

    When the @LAKings won the Stanley Cup in 2014, they brought the Stanley Cup to the broadcast booth at Dodger Stadium for Vin Scully to view. As was the case, Scully proved to be a great storyteller. @TurnerSportsEJ @richeisen @DRFPrivman

    BEST FRIDAY NIGHT VIDEO: At half of Glendora vs Bonita game, Chic-Fil-A held a kicking competition. This talented student from Glendora won a gift card, went to press box and gave it to Bonita coach John Langilotti, who is battling cancer. Impressive! @SGVNSports @latsondheimer

    Just received some heartbreaking news that my cousin Ben Escarcega passed away today. He was a great cousin! Played football and graduated from Bishop Amat, has a son and daughter that graduated from Monrovia recently. Say a prayer for him our family tonight. RIP Ben!

    It simply doesn't get better than this... Vin Scully, Chick Hearn and Bob Miller in the epic roundtable interview with current Lakers Play by Play announcer Bill McDonald back in 2000. All three are in the Hall of Fame. @Dodgers @Lakers @LAKings @richeisen

    Not only was Vin Scully there in the great times, but he was also there in the tough times. Here he was breaking the news of the death of the great John Wooden on June 4, 2010 during a Dodgers game. @latbbolch @AdamGrosbard @latsondheimer

    Ill confess. I cried when I got this video. Former Crespi Celt Michael Salerno getting the upgrade from walk-on to scholarship status. From where he started six years ago, speechless. Congratulations @msalerno30! Very proud! @latsondheimer @Tarek_Fattal
