Here’s a look at how the top high school football recruits in California fared during the third week of the 2024 season.

Class of 2027 wide receiver Skylar Robinson made the move to Serra (Gardena) prior to this season alongside his older brother Jadyn (2025 WR). In the final game of this past weekend’s Honor Bowl game in San Diego against Long Beach Poly, the younger Robinson showed off his skillset in all three phases of the game.

Robinson caught two passes for 66 yards, grabbed an interception late in the fourth quarter and even blocked an extra point attempt by Long Beach Poly in the 27-21 Serra victory. Robinson received several offers this past summer, most recently from Western Michigan.

“I want to get to Cal and Arizona State and I just got my offer from Western Michigan so I want to try and get there too,” Robinson said.

The transition in to Serra after playing last season at San Juan Hills has been a smooth one for Robinson.

“What I love about it is the tradition and how when I came in they all took me in as a brother and loved me since day one,” Robinson added.

San Clemente linebacker Matai Tagoa’i is USC’s top rated recruit from California in their 2025 recruiting class. Following last week’s game, Tagoa’i discussed his thoughts on USC’s revamped defense in 2024 as well as other recruits that have taken notice.

St. John Bosco four-star junior wide receiver posted one of the best statlines we’ll see this seasoon in Saturday’s 38-28 win at Sierra Canyon. He finished the night with 10 catches for 252 yards and three touchdowns, helping the Braves pull away late for the victory. His most recent scholarship offers have come from Texas A&M, Louisville and Wisconsin.

Madden Iamaleava and Jace Brown, four-star prospects in the class of 2025 who have both committed to UCLA, have checked out of Warren High School and are headed to Long Beach Poly for the remainder of their senior seasons. The duo played in their season opener before a disagreement led to the transfer.

Honor Fa’alave-Johnson, who had a breakout season as a freshman in 2023, has become a highly sought after prospect. Fa’alave-Johnson was at USC this past weekend and will see Oklahoma and Oregon in the upcoming weeks. After playing his freshman season at St. Augustine High School, he’s now at Cathedral Catholic High School and will be able to play once the sitout period ends on September 26.

An 11-year-old in Ramona has learned a hard lesson about running a roadside business. His family says his lemonade stand was stolen over the weekend, and it was all caught on camera.

The thief got away after stealing the boy’s lemonade stand on Sunday evening.

You may not know when to teach your kids the good guys from the bad, but for Kery Rader, it was eight days after her son Liam’s 11th birthday.

“That’s wrong. You know it’s not yours. Its not free. It belongs to somebody,” Rader said.

In the security video, you see Liam leaning his head against the utility pole, expressing his profound sadness. But Liam wasn’t the only one recorded on the Diamond D Feed and Supply security camera. The moment before this heartbreak was the reason for it.

“Why would this happen? Why would he do that? Take from a kid that is just trying to sell lemonade,“ Liam said.

On the video, you see a man in a silver pickup, passing through a busy intersection when it caught his eye. With little hesitation, he turned the truck around and pulled alongside Liam’s lemonade stand.

“About halfway through the video, you can see he picks the sign up, and he reads it,“ Rader said.

“In really big letters, it said ‘Lemonade.’ Below it, said, ‘Small $1, large is $3. Saving for a dirt bike. Anything helps. Thank you’ with a smiley face at the end,” Liam said.

The man tossed the sign, took a quick look around, then loaded the lemonade stand in the back of his truck.

Liam had paid the hundred dollars for the table and chairs from his earnings. He has been selling lemonade at the corner of D and Fifth Street for about a year and a half. Everybody who lives in the homes nearby know who he is. But no one seems to know who stole his stand.

“Someone who is rude and selfish and has no feelings for other people and only cares about himself,“ Liam said.

The lemonade stand disappeared down the road in the bed of the pickup. Liam waved, but it was no use. In the time it took to run home and get more cups, about two minutes, his business was gone.

“Ultimately, I hope that he doesn’t use this experience to think all people are like that and there’s not good people in this world,” Rader said.

The sadness of Liam’s misfortune spread through the neighborhood. It was met with support he wasn’t expecting. A fellow business owner sent him $100 and a card that read: “Keep smiling. Don’t let this that happened let you down.”

So keep your eyes peeled for Liam’s new lemonade stand and the person behind the wheel of the silver pickup. The security video was turned over to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. So far, there have been no arrests or leads.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A local program that offers free rideshare services to seniors in San Diego County is in need of more volunteers.

Jewish Family Service of San Diego’s On the Go program currently helps more than 2,000 seniors in need with transportation. Volunteers assist local seniors by driving them in their own cars to the grocery store, the doctor’s office or other essential destinations.

“As we know, the population here in San Diego is definitely trending upwards with older adults in our community. So we see a great need for folks who want to stay living independently in their homes but maybe who can no longer drive,” said Sunni Robertson, Director of Volunteer Engagement, Jewish Family Service of San Diego.

As Robertson explains, the program not only provides a critical service, but also helps combat loneliness for many older San Diegans.

“This is a really wonderful, mutually beneficial volunteer opportunity for both our older adults and our volunteers,” she said.

Robertson says volunteers are provided with mileage reimbursement. You can learn more about getting involved in the program online.

ABC 10News also spoke with Betty Carroll, a volunteer who has been driving with the program for seven years. For the last two years, she’s been helping Mark Passavanti, who is visually impaired.

“Helping Mark makes me feel good,” said Carroll. “It’s about making a good friend more than anything else.”

Carroll takes Passavanti and his service dog Luca to the grocery store and appointments weekly.

“Betty is always there on time and comes and gets me and it’s just a wonderful ride and a wonderful time,” said Passavanti. “It gives me freedom and makes me feel like a normal guy.”
