Pasadena, CA – La Salle 
high school is beating 
the odds when it comes 
to college athletic 
scholarships. The Lancers 
signed three Division I 
scholarship NLI’s today 
and one division II 
NLI. The three division 
one student-athletes to 
sign this morning on 
National Signing Day, 
were Daniel De La Torre 
(UCLA), Stephanie Ferri 
(Fordham University), 
and Cassidy Rey 
(University of Denver).
Daniel is the Division IV 
California State Cross 
County Champion and 
defending Division 
IV 1600 and 3200 CIF 
Champion. Cassidy Rey 
is a two-time first team 
All Del Rey League soccer 
goalie and Stephanie Ferri 
is a first team Del Rey 
League catcher for the 
Lancers softball team. 
Alex Astorga also signed 
a letter of intent today. 
She will play soccer at 
Division II Jackson State 
University in Mississippi.
La Salle had three 
Division I signees in 
the 2011-2012 school 
year (Bowdien Derby, 
Colleen McWilliams, and 
Diamond Ridley-Pierce). 
In addition, Jordan Hill (2012) signed a NLI in November to play 
basketball at the University of Wisconsin in the fall of 2013. La 
Salle athletics is riding a new wave of momentum in its athletic 
program and the Lancers are looking to continue this wave for 
many years to come.

THE REEL DEAL: by Ben Show

Movie Reviews Especially for Teens & ‘Tweens

WARM BODIES

 

I saw the preview 
for this and yawned. 
Just another teen 
romance, like 
‘Twilight’. I didn’t 
pay much attention 
to it afterward. 
However, I’m happy 
to say that the first 
big surprise of 2013 
is here.

 R (Nicholas 
Hoult) is anything 
but an average 
zombie. In a post 
apocalyptic world, where nearly all of humanity is a mindless, 
brain eating monster, R tries to remember who he used to be 
and his huge collection of old memorabilia in an airplane. But 
everything changes when he meets Julie (Teresa Palmer). The two 
form an awkward friendship after he saves her. Soon he starts to 
realize that she is more than just a close friend, but might actually 
hold the cure for the virus: love.

 I was honestly shocked by this movie. I thought it would 
be another attempt to morph two genres together, but the 
director/screenwriter (Jonathan Levine) make it work perfectly. 
Rather than trying to be horror and romance at the same time, 
he alternated, horror, then romance, and so on. Don’t miss this 
spot-on undead romance.
