Norwalk~Gird your loins and prepare for a bumpy night of zany opera, off-beat orchestra, precision chorus, competitive soloists and savory surprises, as the entire Cerritos College Music Department celebrates the near-genius of the Bach family secret, composer P.D.Q. Bach, in an evening of music, mayhem and madness.
Dust off your best Baroque attire and revel in a program of works by this unique and forgotten master, dredged up from the backwater of obscurity by the ubiquitous "Professor" Peter Schickele and presented in fully-staged splendor at Burnight Center on the evening of April 11th, 2010, at 6:00 p.m. at the Cerritos College Burnight Center Theatre, 11110 Alondra Blvd, Norwalk, CA 90650

Matadores Capitalize on Mistakes for Fifth Straight Win
Today's rained out contest to be played tomorrow at 12:30 at La Mirada
La Mirada~The Matadores captured their fifth straight game Saturday but it wasn't easy in a 3-2 escape over Warren in the opening round of the St. Paul Tournament.
La Mirada will resume the event at home in a 12:30 p.m. Monday matchup against either Riverside Christian or Calvary Chapel Downey.
Seniors Mitch Petersen and Daniel Poncedeleon combined on a five-hitter to keep the Bears close while the offense took awhile to overcome a lead Warren held until the bottom of the fifth inning.
Trailing, 2-1, and on the verge of slipping back into a Saturday funk that saw La Mirada lose its first three weekend games this season, senior second baseman Garrin Haile delivered one of the biggest hits of 2010 in the bottom of the fifth.

Norwalk~La Mirada completed a sweep Thursday over Glenn in dominating fashion, 14-1, to notch its fourth straight victory and get back to the .500 level after a slow start against some of the best teams in the nation.
Now, if you think we're going to do a play-by-play on this one, then you think this writer is crazier than he actually is
Let's just run down some highlights and numbers to keep the (semi-) sanity:
- The Matadores (7-7) put up three runs in three of the first four innings and then tacked on another five in the sixth;
- Senior righthander Kyle Harper continued his Suburban League dominance by limiting the Eagles to four hits while striking out six in five breezy innings;
- With a pair of hits in his first two at-bats, junior thirdbaseman Nick Mata notched his fifth straight hit over the last four games and raised his batting average to .455;
- The backups got in early and most got two at-bats, and it was the bench that rung up that five-run rally in the sixth;
