Coaches named for 26th annual Collision All Stars
Los Angeles City Section Girls Open Division Champion Westchester head coach E.J. Jackson was rewarded for another terrific 26-4 season being selected as the coach for City Section girls’ team at the 26th annual Collision All Star Game scheduled for Saturday April 11th at St. Bernard High School.
Jackson will grace the Collision sidelines for the second time as head coach, but the first since being officially installed as permanent head coach for the Lady Comets which has continued its dominance in the LA City Section. Jackson will coach the girls City team.
Coaching against Jackson will be Riverside Hillcrest pilot Chloe Wells who led the Trojans into the second round of the Southern California Regional where they lost to Palisades after reaching the semifinals in the CIF-SS playoffs. Wells will coach the girls Southern Section team.
Wells led the Trojans to a 19-15 record, and is no stranger to Collision having captured the 2010 MVP while leading the Southern Section to victory and then in 2025 became the first female Collision alum to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award.
She will become just the second Collision alum to return to coach in the event, joining Notre Dame’s Matt Sergeant who coach the boys Southern Section in 2025.
Redondo Union’s Reggie Morris Jr., one of the more accomplished high school coaches in the nation who led the Seahawks to a 26-4 record and deep run in the CIF-Southern Section Open Division playoffs will coach the boys Southern Section team.
Morris will be opposed by Fairfax boys coach Jamal Hartwell who led the Lions to the semifinal of the Los Angeles City Section Open Division finals and finished with a 21-11 record in continue to keep the Lions rich tradition alive.
Ironically, it was Morris who led the Lions to thriller last City Championship. This will be Morris third appearance at Collision and the first for Hartwell.
The Southern Section has dominated the girls series 21-4, while the boys series is 15-10 in favor of the Southern Section. The boys game will tip at 3p.m. and the girls games is start at 5p.m.
