Wesley Williams, a Canyon High boys' basketball assistant coach, has been discharged from the hospital after suffering a grand mal seizure a few minutes prior to Friday's 57-53 loss at Valencia High.

Williams, who said Saturday he's had a history of seizures since undergoing a medical procedure last spring, went down as the starting lineups were being announced. The tipoff was delayed for more than a half-hour, and paramedics transported Williams to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital.

``I just started coming out of it as they were taking me away,'' Williams said. ``I don't really remember much before that. As soon as I start to seize, I black out right away.''

A hospital spokesperson confirmed Williams had been discharged.

``I went to the emergency room, but now I'm doing all right,'' Williams said. ``I saw my neurologist, and he upped my dosage (of medication).''

Williams, 24, of Valencia, is a first-year assistant who played football and basketball at Valencia High.

Canyon head coach Chad Phillips said he talked with Williams from the hospital after the game, and that Williams was coherent and appeared well-recovered.

``Wes said his levels were low, and I didn't really know what that meant, but he knew what he was talking about,'' Phillips said. ``The poor kid. This is not a total surprise, (but) it was a step back.''

Williams said he's hoping to return to practice Monday.

--National signing day came and went for football recruits Wednesday without any news from former Hart High quarterback Matt Moore, who left UCLA in December with plans to transfer to another Division I university.

However, Moore said Thursday he's considering Nebraska, Colorado State and Hawaii, and he's expecting to schedule official recruiting visits shortly.

``It's actually kind of quiet right now. I'm still figuring out what I'm going to do,'' Moore said. ``I want to go somewhere that I'll really enjoy.''

Moore, a sophomore, will have to sit out one year if he transfers to a Division I program. He has said his goal is to play in the NFL.
