By Michael Cruz

Buzzy Shiroma, Kenny Lujan, Rob Rodgers, Bruce Meno, Corey Dunlop-Beckmon, and Hosea Ware are some of the greatest running backs in Guam Prep History. You can now add De’Aundre Cruz to this list.

Cruz made the announcement on social media that he will finish his senior year at Shoemaker High School in Killeen, Texas.

QUICK HITS

Ashley Samaniego and the UCLA Bruins are heading to the NCAA Women’s Sweet 16.
The 2007 Simon Sanchez graduate is in his first year with the Bruins women’s basketball team as the Director of Athletic Performance. This after years at California State University, Northridge in the same capacity.
Coach Ash must be bringing some goodness to the Bruins as UCLA is currently ranked #1 in the country and earned its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in program history.
