Hey, Jackrabbits, as tough as it may seem, it’s time for a memory erase. Scrub the brain clean. Forget the classic, the magic and the miracle of your semifinal victory over Orange Lutheran. Just listen to your coach.

‘As a team we talked about it,’ Coach Raul Lara said, ‘and I told them, ‘Let that one go. Because there’s another team called Crespi who wants to beat you bad.’’

Yes, the 2-0 victory is a memory -- and the future is Saturday, when the Jackrabbits battle Crespi for the Pac-5 crown at 8 pm. at the Home Depot Center in Carson. Let’s just hope this one is as unforgettable as the semifinal.
