Lindsay Sherbert of Temecula Great Oak, who holds the distinction of being the only player from Southern California selected to compete in the McDonald’s All-American games Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio, visited the Los Angeles Ronald McDonald’s House last Thursday.

Sherbert averaged 27.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.1 steals for the Wolfpack, who finished 22-6 after losing to Troy in the Division 1AA playoffs. The 6-foot small forward has signed with California.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. 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.
