Former AUSD Athletes
Many former athletes from the three AUSD High Schools are continuing their athletic careers at local junior colleges. Alhambra’s Josh Soto and Oscar Andablo are playing football at Pasadena City College along with San Gabriel’s TJ Daley and Ivan Can and Mark Keppel’s Jesus Cobos. Soto was a two-time All CIF wide receiver for the Moors while Daley and Can were on the San Gabriel 2022 team that won a CIF Southern Section Division 13 Championship and a CIF State Division 7-AA Regional Championship before losing in the State Finals. East Los Angeles College football team has two former Moors, Adan Duenas and Shawn Samaniego. Keppel’s Diego Lazo is playing on PCC Men’s Soccer team.
JUCO Baseball will start their games in January and Alhambra will be well represented with at least five former Moors playing. Carlos Hernandez and Matt Garcia will be playing at PCC while Damian Chacon, Ethan Ayala, and Jackson Akers are at ELAC. All five of these former Moors were standouts at AHS and are expected to contribute at the JUCO level.
Current Football Season
The three local high school football teams have not fared well this season. San Gabriel and Alhambra have each won a game while Keppel is winless. They will play each other during the last three weeks of the season to determine the so-called “City Championship”.
