2009 Suburban League Champions (10-2)

There's something about the University of Arizona that attracts the best and the brightest of La Mirada athletes.

On the Tony Aiello Show Monday evening, co-football coach Ollie Lynch broke the news that quarterback Daniel Poncedeleon has verbally committed to Arizona on a baseball scholarship.  His upcoming season on the mound has the potential to be one of the all-time individual Matadore campaigns.

With the tremendous season he's having on the gridiron, there was speculation that Poncedeleon might look for a school where he could play both sports.  From this corner, the Wildcats football program should start seriously looking at film of Daniel, starting with his incredible 80-yard touchdown scamper down the left sideline on a broken pass play Friday against Norwalk in the momentum-turning first play of the second-half.

Poncedeleon will join present freshman Derrick Williams--the greatest basketball player in La Mirada history--at Arizona while the school's all-time female athlete (Jennie Finch) was a multiple softball pitching All-American there before Olympic fame and glory.

With Arizona getting the benefit of two golden arms from La Mirada, wouldn't it be something (although extremely unlikely) if Williams--a great youth pitcher--gave baseball a shot at the campus?
