Offensively, he needs to find the seams on pass patterns and make things happen when he gets the ball as a running back. What Hurns has to do: There isn't much he can't do defensively, but he needs to focus on staying within himself and not overplaying Avalos and the rest of Sylmar's speedy receivers. Offensively, he needs to make the most of his touches. What the coaches say: Sylmar coach Jeff Engilman of Avalos: ``He's been phenomenal. Defensively he makes great plays and just flies to the ball.'' CAPTION(S): 2 Photos PHOTO (1) AVALOS (2) HURNS |
