One of the sad realities of the state championship bowl games is that the CIF does not provide complimentary tickets for participants’ families.

Crenshaw assistant principal Luther Waters said he is concerned that some of the Cougars’ family members will not be able to afford to see their loved ones play in the team’s first bowl game.

Anyone who is willing to donate money for family tickets, please contact Waters at 323-290-7809 or at luther.n.waters@lausd.net. Crenshaw (14-0) plays Concord De La Salle (12-2) at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Home Depot Center in Carson in the Open Division bowl game, and it would be a travesty if a player’s mother, father or brother couldn’t be there because they didn’t have $15 to see the game.

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.
