La Jolla High School students receive athletic awards
Recent La Jolla High School graduate Rhys Bugelli has won the Matthew Abrams Memorial Award, which comes with his name on an award plaque hung at the Coggan Family Aquatic Complex and a $1,000 scholarship.
The award was begun in 2019 by La Jollans Dave and Joyce Abrams as a way to memorialize their son Matthew Abrams, a 1999 LJHS graduate and MVP of its water polo team that year who died of cancer in 2018.
Water polo was Matthew’s passion, Dave Abrams said. “We thought it’s fitting that we tie this memorial into that aspect of his life.”

La Jolla High School hosted a special “signing day” ceremony for its Viking football players the morning of Dec. 16. Max Smith (United States Naval Academy), Alessandro Demoreno (Davidson College) and Diego Solis (University of Chicago) each had the opportunity to sign their letters of intent in front of family and supporters, outside and at a social distance.
Each of the student’s letter of intent commits them to play football for a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) college for at least one academic year. Once a student athlete signs a letter of intent, it is faxed to the college, and no other college may recruit that student.
