There's very few games in the county where fans from the two sides are as passionate and that passion brings a buzz that few high school games can match.

Oaks Christian School senior lineman Cassius Marsh made a verbal commitment this morning to play football at LSU.

Marsh chose LSU over USC, Cal and Oklahoma. The 6-foot-5, 288-pound Marsh originally committed to Cal, but changed his mind after taking other visits.

"I think he was a little too excited when he was up at Cal and a little too fired up," Oaks Christian head coach Bill Redell said. "It was one of his first trips and they do a great job recruiting. But he wanted to see a few other places, and really liked LSU. He is elated to be going there."

Marsh is the first Oaks Christian football player to ever commit to LSU, and is the final playing in this season's big six to make his college choice. Zac Stout and Alani Fua have committed to Brigham Young University, Nick Montana and Erik Kohler are heading to Washington and Malcolm Jones will be signing with UCLA.

A memorial fund has been established for Santa Clara High boys' basketball coach Mike Sandoval.

C/O The Ventura County Community Foundation
1317 Del Notre Road, Suite 150, Camarillo, CA 93010.

Memorial service plans for Sandoval are pending. Santa Clara is planning to hold a service at the high school next week, and is waiting to hear from Sandoval's family before setting thedate . More information should be available by the end of the weekend.
