According to the National Junior College Research Association, College of the Canyons consistently ranks in the top 50 community colleges in the nation. quarterback Kyle Bauer has accepted a scholarship to play football at Division I-AA Weber State in Utah next season. Bauer, formerly of Valencia High, passed for a school-record 3,600 yards and 38 touchdowns this season as Canyons (10-2) won the Western State Conference title and finished as the state's runner-up. He was a first-team JC Gridwire All-American. ... Kiel McClung's father woke him and handed the Quartz Hill senior an envelope containing information that McClung had been named a youth All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. The honor was like a dream come true for the UCLA-bound McClung. The same can't be said for what McClung and his teammates have endured on the field this season. Coming off a Southern Section Division I co-championship and having McClung back as the defending division Player of the Year, Quartz Hill entered the season ranked third in the nation by Student Sports, and aiming for a second consecutive undefeated season and possible national title. Those goals have been dashed as the Rebels find themselves struggling to stay near .500. Quartz Hill failed to advance out of pool play at the recent Student Sports Invitational in Florida, a prestigious national event where the Rebels had originally hoped to solidify their status as a national power. Quartz Hill did not reach the championship round at this past weekend's Marina tournament either. The slow start has dropped the Rebels out of the national top-50 rankings. The only local representative in the polls is St. Francis of La Canada at No. 15 in the West region. St. Francis made its way into the rankings with a solid defensive showing at the Student Sports Invitational. The Golden Knights

Arguably the region's premier programs have played three previous tense matches: Chaminade 2, Harvard-Westlake 1 (2002): In overtime, Tina Lutizetti's goal lifted the Eagles and spoiled the Wolverines' hopes for a perfect Mission League season. Harvard-Westlake 1, Chaminade 0 (2002): Harvard-Westlake players considered beating the Eagles similarly satisfying to winning their first Southern Section title. Chaminade 3, Harvard-Westlake 2 (2001): The Wolverines seemed in command with a 2-0 lead. Then Chaminade staged the most remarkable of comebacks: three goals in 10 minutes to win the league. ATHLETES OF THE WEEK JORDAN FARMAR Jordan Robert Farmar (born November 30, 1986) is an American professional basketball player at starting point guard for the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers. He was previously the starting point guard for the UCLA men's basketball team. Junior Taft of Woodland Hills The numbers keep adding up for Farmar, who is quickly establishing himself as among the best, if not the best, prospects in the region. The 6-foot-2 guard led undermanned Taft to the semifinals of the prestigious Modesto Christian tournament, scoring 125 points in four games, including a 49-point performance against highly regarded Inglewood. Taft lost to Harvard-Westlake of Studio City in the semifinal, but considering Steve Smith and seven other key players are not yet available, just reaching the semifinal was an achievement. Farmar is averaging 31 points, 8.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists this season. TEIOSHA GEORGE Senior Palmdale Has the Falcons off to a 12-3 start.

Its name derives from its crescent-like shape, with the convex portion facing roughly northeast and the concave portion southwest. Point guard MIKE GENTRY Hart Point Guard This is an early-season matchup between two of the region's top point guards. Goffredo, headed to Harvard, is averaging 31 points per game with four games scoring at least 40 points. Gentry isn't as explosive - he's averaging 16 points per game - but he's a heady point guard and Hart of Newhall relies on him to keep the offense flowing and the ball moving. He can also score when he needs to, hitting four 3-pointers Friday against Cleveland of Reseda.
