Chino Hills Ayala quarterback Caleb Cabrillo, who was airlifted to Loma Linda Medical Center after sustaining a concussion during the Bulldogs’ 36-8 loss to Chino Hills on Thursday, is resting at home, Ayala Coach Tom Inglima said Saturday.

‘It seems like he’s going to be fine,’ Inglima said. ‘The CAT scan was clean and there’s no spinal issues.’

Cabrillo, verbally unresponsive after being hit in the third quarter, was released at 3 a.m. Friday. His mind was still on football after the game.

‘He was apologetic about not being able to get the offense moving, and I was pretty amazed by that,’ Inglima said. ‘He’s a tough kid.’

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.
