7 TONIGHT CAL STATE FULLERTON

You don’t have to wait until November for rivalry week in Orange County high school football. This matchup of former Golden West League teams is as heated as it gets. Servite has won five of the last six meetings, but records don’t mean much when these teams play. Tustin is hoping to bring quarterback David Miller back into the fray after he missed the season’s first two games because of knee surgery. Servite’s Lamar Mason, a bruiser of a running back, will try to deliver the knockout blow for the Friars.

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.
