Raul Lara's spring debut at Mater Dei leads to passing tournament championship
Wearing a gray Mater Dei T-shirt and white hat, Raul Lara is reminded constantly how strange he looks in Monarchs football gear by his acquaintances from his Long Beach Poly coaching days.
He had a 13-year run, winning five Southern Section Division 1 championships. Saturday at Long Beach Millikan was his team’s first seven-on-seven passing competition since he took over for Frank McManus at Mater Dei on April 25.
“It’s like when I took over at Poly when Jerry Jason established something,” Lara said. “[Bruce] Rollinson did the same thing. It’s my job hopefully to keep up with that. If we can do a little bit better, then we do. I don’t feel pressure, but I feel obligated to keep this program at the top.”
The Monarchs went 7-0 today to win Long Beach Tournament of Champions! Thanks to Long Beach Millikan for a great tournament.
— Mater Dei Football (@MDFootball) May 19, 2024
Lara, who resigned as head coach at St. Anthony, has kept much of Mater Dei’s coaching staff, enabling a smooth transition since the dismissal of McManus, who was head coach for one season.
Lara made it clear one of his assignments is to make sure players grow on and off the field. He’s a retired probation officer and plans to use the word accountability quite often.
“My biggest thing in coaching is always the character of the kid,” he said. “I want the kid when he leaves our program to learn the tools to become a responsible and good adult in the community. The kids are starting to see I have their best interest. And there’s a lot of accountability going on.”
Mater Dei won the seven-on-seven tournament championship, defeating rival St. John Bosco in the final while going 7-0 on the day. Dash Beierly, a senior transfer from Chaparral, and sophomore to be Furian Infererra handled quarterback duties. Corona Centennial and JSerra also reached the semifinals.
The tournament was filled with top players, from Edison receivers Jacob Martin and Jake Minter to Newbury Park quarterback Brady Smigiel. It launches a busy schedule of seven-on-seven weekend tournaments for the next month. St. John Bosco and Simi Valley will have tournaments on June 29 and the Edison tournament is July 13.
Crean Lutheran defeated San Juan Hills to win the Dana Hills tournament. Charter Oak won its own tournament championship, defeating Bishop Amat in the final.

Scottie Scheffler may see charges dropped after arrest during PGA Championship: report
Prosecutors in Kentucky were reportedly expected to drop the charges against Scottie Scheffler after his stunning arrest before the second round of the PGA Championship on Friday.
Jefferson County prosecutors were planning, “as of now,” to drop the charges, No Laying Up reported Sunday, citing a source “familiar with the office’s thinking.”
Scheffler was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer (a felony), criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from an officer directing traffic.
He allegedly drove past a police officer who was directing traffic and failed to stop when directed. The officer attached himself to Scheffler’s vehicle and was dragged. According to an arrest report, Louisville Detective Bryan Gillis suffered injuries in the incident.
Scheffler’s arraignment is set for Tuesday. The Jefferson County Prosecutor’s Office and the Jefferson County Attorney’s Office didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Louisville, Kentucky, Mayor Craig Greenberg said Saturday there was no body cam footage of the incident between Scheffler and Gillis.

“The officer did not have body cam footage turned on during the incident,” Greenberg said Saturday, via the Louisville Courier-Journal. “We will release footage that we have… to my knowledge, we have not yet discovered any video of the initial contact between Officer Gillis and Mr. Scheffler.”
Greenberg did say there was a “fixed camera” across the street from where the incident took place. He was unsure if Gillis was wearing a body camera. He didn’t say whether Scheffler’s charges would be reduced.
ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington was in the vicinity of the incident and caught video of Scheffler being put into the back of a police vehicle.
Scheffler called the incident a “big misunderstanding” on Friday.
“This morning, I was proceeding as directed by police officers. It was a very chaotic situation, understandably so considering the tragic accident that had occurred earlier, and there was a big misunderstanding of what I thought I was being asked to do,” he said. “I never intended to disregard any of the instructions. I’m hopeful to put this to the side and focus on golf today.
“Of course, all of us involved in the tournament express our deepest sympathies to the family of the man who passed away in the earlier accident this morning. It truly puts everything in perspective.”
