"What coach Mark Carson has been accomplishing would earn him a million-dollar contract if he were at the college level. The school of 82 boys, all of whom play football or work with the team, has kept moving up in divisions and now will be on the biggest stage as part of a tripleheader at Saddleback College. Unbeaten Oxnard Pacifica will face Fresno East at 3:30 p.m."
"The star for Rio Hondo Prep on Saturday was running back Christian Lee, who rushed for 122 yards and scored four touchdowns. Once again the Kares won without injured standout running back Noah Penunuri. They keep finding ways to win, just like when they captured the Southern Section Division 5 championship. Last year Rio Hondo Prep lost in the 3-A final, 42-41 to Vanden in overtime."
Rio Hondo Prep won its 15th consecutive game, beating Solano Beach Santa Fe Christian 26-21 to reach the CIF state Division 2-A championship at Saddleback College. The championship game is scheduled next Saturday at 11:30 a.m. against unbeaten Sonora. Coach Mark Carson has guided the 82-boy school through multiple division moves to national-stage play. Running back Christian Lee rushed for 122 yards and scored four touchdowns in the win. The team again prevailed without injured standout Noah Penunuri. The state finals will be part of a Saddleback tripleheader including Oxnard Pacifica vs. Fresno East and Santa Margarita vs. De La Salle.
