He is a real good player with great leaping ability.” Although the Cardinals return just one starter, they have six overall returning players including senior guards Devonte Patterson and Chris White. Also back are Orlando Lando and D’Lang Beckles. With the height, Lawndale should be very good inside. The guards may be a little inexperienced. “We’ll have to coach them,” Brownlee said. “We have a big team with good chemistry. We’ll have to work to get it. Our goal is to win league and go as far as we can in section.” Currently the Cardinals are playing in one of California’s always highly regarded tournaments in the Redondo Pacific Shores Classic, where it opened against a very good Campbell Hall team from North Hollywood on Monday. Campbell Hall is one of many outstanding squads in that tournament and is led by preseason all-American guards Aaron Holiday (younger brother of current National Basketball Association player Jrue Holiday, who also played at UCLA and University of Nevada-Las Vegas), and Khalil Cimpiliss. The classic also includes a pair of defending PUBLIC NOTICES By Joe Snyder Last season, the boys’ basketball team gave Lawndale High its first Pioneer League championship since before the school reopened in 1998 and restarted its athletic program four years later. This year, the Cardinals return just one starter in six-foot-nine junior center Chimeze Metu, but he was a very good player. In the 2012-13 season as a sophomore, Metu averaged 12 points per game was named the league’s co-Most Outstanding Player with North Torrance’s Devonte Jenkins. The league’s Most Valuable Player was Lawndale’s Will Newman, now a freshman playing at University of Colorado at Pueblo, an NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Division II college. However, Cardinal head coach Chris Brownlee feels that Lawndale has the material to win the Pioneer and possibly a CIF-Southern Section Division IA crown. This year, the Cardinals were moved from Division IIAA (where they advanced to the quarterfinals before falling to eventual champion Riverside J.W. North 81-60) to IA. “A large majority of schools that were IIAA last year are in IA,” Brownlee said. Much of the optimism is because of receiving six-foot-nine junior transfer Trustee Sale No. 260794CA Loan No. 0015316862 Title Order No. 1402128 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 10-30-2006.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
