Kameron starts on both sides of the ball. That means he plays Offense and Defense throughout the whole game hardly getting any breaks. Coach Galliano does not let many of his players do this, but Kameron is different. Last season he was one of the anchors to a high secondary and was an All-CIF defensive back.

He led the division with seven interceptions and has his eyes set on leading the division again in his senior year. When asked what he loved about football, he said, “I love the competitiveness, not just during the games but everything that goes into it that people who never played do not know. The practices, weight room sessions, and everything. I also love the freedom of being able to hit without the worry of getting in trouble.”

Coach Galliano did chime in and say that they are working on dialing his aggressiveness back a bit, but do not want him to change the way he plays the game. Coach also said one of the most impressive things about Kameron is his natural knack to find the ball. Either it is on offense or defensive, he has a sense for it, and he is football savvy always laying down great blocks for his teammates or squeezing himself through gaps that average players do not see.

Kameron is a three-sport varsity athlete playing Soccer and running track. If he does not get a scholarship offer, he plans to enlist in the army and wants to serve his country. He is very thankful to his brothers, who are father figures to him Aaron Johnson and K.C. Moore. They have done a lot for him, and he appreciates them for it.
Kameron enjoys keeping himself company. He likes to be alone with his thoughts; he is very introverted and is okay with it. A fun fact about Kameron is that he loves to listen to Michael Jackson. It started when he was young, and he never lost his connection to his music.

One of his favorite workouts is sprints. He enjoys the freedom he feels of the wind flowing in his face as he runs through the grass. Kameron likes to test himself to see how fast he can get and is continuously putting in work to get faster. His other favorite workout is what Coach Galliano calls “effort drills.” These are drills that have no specific purpose except to build toughness, character, and a no-quit mentality. Coach Galliano has a few different types of effort drills, and Kameron enjoys them all.
The season is fast approaching, get ready to come out and support the San Jacinto Tigers this season.

On Tuesday evening, June 25th, 2019 the West Valley Mustangs and the Hemet High Bulldogs went at it and showed all the spectators why they are known to be one of the San Jacinto Valley’s biggest rivalries. Before the game started, it was all mutual respect between each other. Childhood friends hugged, messed around, and talked about the good all days, up until the whistle blew. Hemet won the tip-off and scored quickly from a Roman Swizek layup. West Valley’s Josh Edwards answered back immediately with a bucket of his own.

There was a lot of energy at the beginning of the game. The referees had to hand out technical fouls to each team and encouraged them to quit the smack talk and play the game. The momentum started to shift West Valley’s way after that moment, and they took a commanding 13 point lead at half time. Hemet’s shots just weren’t falling that night, so their coach called a timeout and encouraged the team to start attacking the basket, getting put-backs, and fight for rebounds.

The new strategy from Hemet’s coach seemed to work, and the Bulldogs started to fight back from their 13 point deficit, West Valley needed to slow the ball down and try to waste as much time of the clock as possible, instead they decided they wanted to keep scoring the basketball and it almost cost them the game. A couple of questionable decision making and missed shots let the Bulldogs get into striking distance. The Mustangs were able to hold on to their lead and squeaked out a four-point victory 49-53.
