The TEN

(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)

1. “Congrats to Fresno State RB transfer Kurt Scoby on his commitment to continue his college football career at Azusa Pacific!” – Azusa Pacific HC Victor Santa Cruz via Twitter.

2. Rosemead’s Michael Sahagun will play football at the University of Redlands this fall.

3. A recent review of the state of athletic programs in the Los Angeles Unified School District determined that the average coaching stipend is $2175.58 and it hasn’t changed since 1999. At 18 hours per week for 14 weeks that translates to 8.63 an hour, which means that coaches (yes this includes football coaches) make less than the current minimum wage of $9.00 an hour. This doesn’t include extra hours for playoff competition, watching film or scouting.

4. The Milwaukee Brewers hire Craig Counsell as manager to replace the fired Ron Roenicke.

5. Angels pitcher Jered Weaver 2015 stats: 0-4, 34.1 IP, 45 H, 24 ER, 8 HR, 6.29 ERA
