Gaines, in full football uniform and pads, plays saxophone for the Highland band at intermission. After the performance, the junior rushes back to the locker room to catch the end of the coaches' halftime talks. Fellow lineman Brian Rodriguez fills Gaines in on the rest as they return to the field. ``I'm having lots of fun, but music is still my true love,'' Gaines said. ``Sometimes football players underestimate the band. It takes a lot of practice and work. The band, though, doesn't have anything that compares to hell week.'' Gaines has played in the band for three years but decided to go out for the football team this fall. Gaines did not have a problem convincing Highland coach Lin Parker to continue with band. Parker also did double duty as a football player and tuba tuba (t  `bə) [Lat.,=trumpet], valved brass wind musical instrument of wide conical bore. player as a senior at

The Antelope Valley High in 1961. ``I've never had a problem sharing our talent with other athletic teams - or other disciplines,'' Parker said. ``I always had trouble adjusting from a mouthpiece to blowing on the tuba. You hear a lot of giggles. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to do what Don does at halftime.'' Band director Mark Wamhoff didn't mind Gaines performing in his football uniform, either. ``We don't have enough band uniforms for everybody, especially in Don's size,'' Wamhoff said. ``It's worked out well he has his own.'' Kennedy's secret weapon Ramiro Esqueda has been called upon just four times to kick field goals in his varsity career at Kennedy. He has never missed. He was 3 for 3 last season and made his only attempt this season - an area-best 47-yarder. ``He's got a real solid leg,'' said Cougars coach Bob Francola, who has seen Esqueda kick field goals from as far as 60 yards in practice. The 6-0, 190-pound Esqueda is only a junior. He plays on the defensive line when he's not booming kickoffs into the end zone or waiting patiently for Francola to give him a chance to show off his leg. ``I always try to tell him to let me kick more field goals,'' Esqueda said. Francola promised: ``He's going to get a chance.'' Laugh lines Malibu, a first-year football program, plays host to Montclair Prep today.

Tricks and treats It's the trickiest trick play A trick play, also known as a gadget play, is a play in American football that uses deception and unorthodox strategies to fool the opposing team.

Redell serves as head coach at Oaks Christian High School in Westlake Village, California, since 2000, and has formed them into one of said of the infamous fumblerooski. ``But it's not. And we'll continue to run it until it is.'' If so, then it could be a fumblerooski festival when Notre Dame Notre Dame IPA: [nɔtʁ dam] is French for Our Lady, referring to the Virgin Mary. In the United States of America, Notre Dame travels to St. Francis High School to open Mission League play Friday. Both teams have pulled the trick on opponents this season. St. Francis used it to score touchdowns against Alemany and Pasadena. Notre Dame scored six against St. Paul St. Paul as a missionary he fearlessly confronts the “perils of waters, of robbers, in the city, in the wilderness.” [N.T.: II Cor. 11:26] See : Bravery with the play last week.

Rooney defeated Kevin Higgins of West Point in the finals. said he added the deceptive play to his playbook just last week in anticipation of playing St. Francis. St. Francis has used the fumblerooski eight times in the past three years, scoring six times. The Knights ran the play so well in practice, Rooney decided to use it against St. Paul. Redell said the play goes something like this: The quarterback takes the snap and drops it softly between the center's legs. He then fakes a pitch to one of his backs and everyone heads around one of the ends. Everyone but the center and one of the guards, that is. With both squads going, say right, the remaining guard picks up the ball and heads left, and usually remains undetected until he's spotted doing his touchdown dance in the end zone. Redell said the play depends on the element of surprise. He ran it on the first play of the game against Pasadena. And with both teams keenly aware of the trick, Redell said it is unlikely either will use it this week. ``Tell Kevin I promise not to use it if he promises not to use it,'' Redell said. But Notre Dame lineman Ryan Karapetian might want to run the play again. He scored last week on the fumblerooski. ``You should have seen him after the touchdown,'' line coach Jeff Kraemer said. ``He probably high jumped 7 feet jumping up and down.''

Teague sees plenty of similarities between acting on stage and playing football. ``Both take a lot of discipline and team work if you want to win or have a successful show,'' he said. ``Plus you have to stay in shape and exercise. In the play I was in last year there was a lot of physical motion and dancing.'' Teague would like to continue acting in college and beyond, admitting that his football career probably has some limitations. His acting hero is John Malkovich. ``He can play so many different parts,'' Teague said. ``It's amazing to watch him go from good guy to villain.''

Sunday school: Camarillo quarterback Joe Borchard has improved his play at quarterback on a yearly basis. He credits some of the development to Steve Clarkson, a personal coach he works with on Sunday. Each practice session includes 10 other QBs and lasts about three hours. One of the other quarterbacks in the class is Agoura's Ryan McCann. Borchard admits it was a bit uncomfortable seeing McCann just a day after the Scorpions beat the Chargers 41-35 after racing back from a 35-7 second-half deficit. ``We talked a little bit,'' Borchard said. ``He just couldn't believe what happened. But it wasn't his fault and actually they played a great game. It wasn't like they had a complete breakdown or anything.''
