This is a blog not about the "what" in sports but the "why" in sports. I own 94 New Era ball caps that hang on the wall in my bedroom. Of the 94 I regularly wear only 4 of them, why is that? What causes a fan to claim their favorite team as a part of their family? Why is this country so intrigued by sports? Why has athletics essentially been adopted as religion in this country and across the world? These are topics that will be discussed within this blog. This blog is for educational purposes only and will only be viewed by my Sports Communication and Sports Media classes.

Chino Hills High School knocks off Los Osos High School thanks to 92 points from LaMelo Ball

CHINO HILLS, Calif. - LaMelo Ball drops in 92 points to help Chino Hills defeat Los Osos 146-123 on Tuesday night in a battle of California Interscholastic Federation men's basketball teams.

Chino Hills (26-1) was without leading scorer LiAngelo Ball , LaMelo's older brother, due to injury,  but that didn't phase them too much as the youngest Ball brother did his part to seal the victory scoring 41 of his 92 points in the final quarter.

Los Osos head coach Dave Smith was less than excited by the way Chino Hills played in regards to helping LaMelo Ball score so many points. Smith was upset that style of play Chino Hills employed took away from the team aspect of the game, and took away from what the CIF and high school basketball is about.

Chino Hills head coach had a different take on the game and LaMelo Ball's. "It was very exciting, almost overwhelming," Coach Stephan Gilling said.

Chino Hills finishes up regular season play at Rancho Cucamonga on Thursday.
