Steven W. Hackel, chair of the Department of History at UC Riverside, is the author of, among other books, “Junipero Serra: California’s Founding Father.”

Getting to work this spring is the start for Brown facing much tougher competition in the Mission League, where Sierra Canyon and Gardena Serra have risen to the top.

Gardena Serra also will have a new quarterback.

Bishop Amat 5, Gardena Serra 1: Justin Peinado threw a complete game with seven strikeouts for Bishop Amat.

The leading scorer for Dominguez Hills is former Gardena Serra guard Jeremy Dent-Smith, averaging 18.4 points.
