For those who didn’t know it already, San Clemente proved last week on signing day that it produces as many top-notch athletes as any school in Southern California.

A whopping 22 players are bound for college programs: football players Evan Jacobsen (New Mexico), Duke Delancellotti (Cal Poly San Luis Obispo), Dylan Reda (Ohio) and Graham Tenney (Cornell); girls’ water polo player Carly Ternaski (UC Davis); boys’ volleyball players Grayson Overman (Ohio State), Ian Castellana (UC Irvine) and Cooper Neser (Brigham Young); girls’ volleyball players Erin Voder (USC) and Bailey Wendzel (Brown); girls’ basketball player Jacquie Marshall (San Diego); diver Kelsey Heiken (Cal); softball players Chelsea Luckey (Hawaii Pacific) and Tiffany Corder (UC Santa Barbara); cross-country and track runner Alexandra Dunne (Stanford); and girls’ soccer players Zoe Jeffers (Santa Clara), Kaylin Mellem (Texas Christian), Barrett Bestard (San Francisco), Alexis Mahoney (Southern Oregon), Camille Berg (Long Beach State), Kristine Atkinson (Idaho) and Kelsey Wilson (Loyola Marymount).

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
