DOWNEY – Senior midfielder Conor Hearn would not allow the Loyola of Los Angeles boys’ soccer team to get down after falling behind 19 minutes into the Southern Section Div. I championship Saturday against Santa Margarita at Warren High in Downey. The Cubs had done too much to get there. Fourth-seeded Loyola had many dramatic victories, including its overtime victory in the semifinals over top-seeded Wilson of Long Beach – the fifth-ranked team in the country by Student Sports – and its run culminated with a 1-1 tie and a share of the division title. After dictating the pace of the first five minutes of the match, the Cubs (23-6-4) fell behind in the 19th minute when the Eagles’ Andrew Park headed in a goal past Loyola goalkeeper Marc Gardner. Ten minutes later, Loyola got the equalizer with a hard shot by Hearn from 10 feet out, which deflected violently off Abalos and found the lower left corner of the net. The Cubs didn’t have the luxury of overtime to win this time, but Hearn seemed satisfied. “All week we talked about how we just had 80 minutes to win this game,” Hearn said. “We fell behind early and we had to get that goal back, and we did.” The Cubs had a chance to take the lead two minutes into the second half, but Casey Buckely’s point-blank shot was saved by a diving Abalos to keep the score tied. “All and all, it’s a sweet feeling,” Hearn said. “Even though we tied, it’s still a championship, and I will always remember it.” David justin frank@dailynews.com (818) 713-3607 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

In Whittier, an elderly man’s car was struck by lightning, police said. The strike, which occurred at about noon, left the man dazed but unhurt. Then, at about 1:30 p.m. on Leffingwell Road, between 1st and Valley Home avenues and near where the man’s car was hit, lightning struck two power poles and a palm tree, setting the tree on fire, authorities said. “I was praying, ‘Please don’t let it hit me,’ and I called 9-1-1,” said Adriana Arreola, 33, of Whittier, a dental assistant who was in her car when the bolt struck the palm tree. “It started raining really hard. Then I saw the light across the sky and the fire went off in the tree across the street,” she said. Southern California Edison workers were called to repair the two power poles damaged by the strike. “We grounded our energy line so our guys don’t get killed,” said Edison foreman Drew Vaughn. “It knocked the hell out of the pole.” At 4 p.m., Southern California Edison officials reported nearly 18,000 customers were without power in the utility’s western coverage area, which includes Whittier and surrounding cities. In Pico Rivera, authorities shut down the Rosemead Boulevard bridge at about 4 p.m. because of storm damage. Authorities were assessing the bridge Monday night to determine whether it can be safely reopened today . Traffic collisions doubled on Monday from the previous week, said California Highway Patrol officer Armando Clemente. In Fullerton, a 20-year-old La Habra man escaped serious injury when his Chevrolet Blazer hydroplaned and landed upside down in a drainage ditch at Malvern Avenue and Crossroads Way, Fullerton police Sgt. Scott Rudisil said. The man escaped the car through a window. Elsewhere, a big-rig pulling a trailer full of dog food jackknifed on the eastbound San Bernardino (10) Freeway in Baldwin Park, blocking all lanes to morning commuters. Hail fell in West Covina, Pasadena and other cities. A gasoline tanker crashed and exploded around 1:50 a.m. on the Golden State (5) Freeway near the Los Angeles Zoo, killing the driver and forcing the closure of the freeway so workers could clean up 2,000 of gallons of fuel that leaked, authorities said. In Mission Hills in the San Fernando Valley, two people were killed in a rain-related traffic collision on the eastbound Ronald Reagan (118) Freeway, the California Highway Patrol reported.

WHITTIER — Thunder, lightning and periods of heavy rainfall triggered power outages that darkened thousands of homes and businesses in Whittier, Montebello, La Habra and elsewhere Monday.

Kayiwa posses with a Vipers SC jersey at his unveiling on Wednesday. (PHOTOS/Vipers SC)KITENDE – Vipers SC have unveiled Allan Kayiwa as their first signing of the off-season.The versatile forward who is understood to have signed a two-year deal at the Kitende based comes in as a free agent after his deal at Tooro United expired at the start of this month (June).“We can confirm the signing of forward Allan Kayiwa from Tooro United, read a statement on Vipers’ official website.Kayiwa was officially unveiled to his new teammates by Vipers head coach Michael Nam Ouma on Wednesday morning at the club training base in Kitende.The forward has been a subject of interest from Vipers’ league rivals KCCA FC but has decided to join the three-time StarTimes Uganda Premier League champions.Moments after putting pen to paper, Kayiwa announced that he had made the ‘best choice’, joining Vipers.“I have made the best choice to join this great club, it’s my new home and am so excited to be here, said Kayiwa.“I am ready for the new challenge as well.”Kayiwa is a product of Soana Young, Tooro United’s feeder side and he broke on to the local scene in 2015. Last season, he put out a brilliant performance, scoring 10 league goals and making 8 assists.Kayiwa scored 10 league goals last season.He was part of the Uganda Cranes team that took part in the 2019 COSAFA Cup under the guidance of Police FC head coach Abdallah Mubiru.Kayiwa is known for his vision, eye for goal plus skill on the ball and can play up front and on the flanks.Vipers had an average season, last, and Kayiwa is one of the moves they are taking as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming 2019/20 season.The Venoms came into last season as the defending league champions and finalist in the Uganda Cup but could not replicate such form.Representing Uganda in the CAF Champions league, the Venoms were eliminated at the second round of qualification and hence dropped to the Confederation Cup. While there, they also failed to make it to the Group stages as they fell immediately.In the League, they came second to KCCA FC while a humiliating exit to then-Big League side, Proline FC, ended their Uganda Cup campaign at the quarter-final stage.Comments Tags: abdallah mubiruAllan KayiwaCAF Champions LeagueCAF Confederations CupCOSAFA 2019KCCA FCSoana YoungStarTimes Uganda Premier LeagueTooro unitedtopUganda Cupvipers sc read more
