Nice of them to put a Block R on the field for King Lew!
It's Redondo Union high school. If you ever watch trophy kids on Netflix, one of the kids plays there and that's the first thing I thought when I saw the court.

The days of RU fans hoping that the other teams in our league stink, are over....... We are in the big leagues now,,,,,maybe that thought worked in the old big east.
Embrace the competition, rise up and compete.

the block R in those parts means Redondo. Seems like a blatant rip off of Rutgers.
It's pretty common for high school teams to take the logo of college teams and use it as their own. Pretty much every high school that is the Spartans uses Michigan States' logo. I know Robbinsville in Mercer County uses the Block R and there are probably many more.
It's not a rip off. If anything it's a sign of recognition.
I think The "R" is the only similarity, they are the Seahawks, and none of their gear is focused on the R. Rip-off is a bit strong. I cant think of too many schools that don't have some form of school initials in block on the center of their courts or fields.
Hard not to get excited anytime you see Lewis chuck the ball around
Donohue re Lewis as quoted in the T Hunt article:
"This is a kid who looks like he's ready to be on a college football field. And I think with his arm strength, he was up there. He's in the, I think, the top third of this group out here in terms of arm strength."
I like.

A quarterback will never be criticized for having too strong of an arm. I think his main criticism is that he tends to let balls sail over his receivers head which can lead to picks. He obviously has all the tools. He probably just needs work on his mechanics. This kid is a heck of a prospect and probably should be a 4 star guy based on his physical tools alone.
Going into the third day of competition, the 6-3, 220-pounder has yet to break the top 11. But according to Bleacher Report national football recruiting analyst Tyler Donohue, who worked in Rutgers' football recruiting department from 2006 to 2008, Lewis has more than held his own.
