Even after sophomore forward Ramon Williams (Bellflower HS) missed a baseline jumper, the Falcons got the ball back with one second left when they tied the ball up under the basket. Sophomore guard Wayne Chapman (Bellflower HS) was long on his three-point attempt and Cerritos suffered a 79-78 defeat. The loss dropped the Falcons to 2-2 on the season, while the Beavers improved to 2-0. Cerritos will now enter the Irvine Valley Tournament starting next Thursday.

The game also marked the home debut of new head coach Russ May, who played for the Falcons from 1989-91 and served as an assistant coach from 1994-99...[more]


08.26.09 - Russ May named new head men's basketball coach
Russ May is the new Cerritos College Men's Basketball CoachAfter spending the last 10 years as the head coach of the Los Alamitos High boy's basketball team, former Cerritos College men's basketball player and assistant coach Russ May has returned to the Falcon program. May replaces Jesse Teplitzky, who resigned last week after just one year as the head coach. May was a finalist for the Cerritos job last year before Teplitzky was hired. He said he was happy thinking he'd spend the rest of his career at Los Alamitos before being contacted by Cerritos after Teplitzky's resignation. But, in the same breath, he was happy to be given the chance to coach the Falcons.

"Cerritos College is home for me," said May, who led the Griffins to two CIF Southern Section championships during his tenure. "Throughout my career, Cerritos has opened doors for me and I am very excited to be back here. It was really tough to leave such a great school like Los Alamitos. Everyone there treated me great the entire time and they were supportive of my decision to come back home."..[more]
