I want to thank Melissa LaRossa for sending these photos along to us. Unfortunately I don't have names for the kids in this pics but I am hoping to track those down soon. If you have that info please drop a comment on this post.
Great job CHS kids! Even though the boys got the best of El Dorado Hgh, I still gotta dish out some respect their way. I know there isn't a ton of glory in prep snow sports so I hope today's column and this post fill the void a bit.
If the photos are strange in your browser, I have links to them at the bottom of this post.
About Me: Leland Gordon is the prep sports writer for the Chico Enterprise-Record and a 2006 graduate of Chico State with a journalism major and French minor. His prep sports writing career began when he was 17 years old at the Mountain Democrat in Placerville and he has also done news writing for The Orion at Chico State and Silicon Valley Community Newspapers in San Jose.
Also known as “Lee,” Mr. Gordon is a fanatic when it comes to the following things: long car trips, hiking, snowboarding, wakeboarding, bowling, disc golfing and a whole bunch of other stuff. But his passion (for now, at least) is Northern Section prep sports.
Leland earned seven varsity letters at El Dorado High School and refereed prep wrestling in the north state before getting hired at the E-R.
Thank you for the coverage of the Ski and Snowboard teams at Mammoth! I am a PV mom, but I appreciate any coverage that the teams get. You might have this...but a good resource for ski and snowboard is Live-Timing.com It has races from all the local venues and did cover Mon, Tues, and todays' races in Mammoth.
