11.12.09 - Last-second shot misses
in one-point loss
 Down 79-78 with 20 seconds
left in the second half, the Cerritos College men's
basketball team had a chance to come back and beat
Los Angeles Trade-Tech College at The Aviary on
Thursday night. 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
 After 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]
