LOCAL NOTES : CRESPI SEEKS ALL-VALLEY FOOTBALL LEAGUE.Byline: Daily News Crespi High School principal Rev. Fred Tillotson has taken the first step toward trying to form a San Fernando Valley League in football by proposing the Celts leave the Del Rey League in 1998. Tillotson has made a proposal to the Catholic Athletic Association of forming a football league that includes Crespi, Alemany, Notre Dame, Chaminade, Harvard-Westlake and St. Francis. He has the support of all five principals. The CAA will soon begin hearing proposals for re-leagueing. By early next year, the CAA is supposed to send its recommendations to the Southern Section. ``I think there's determination on the part of these six principals to push this strongly,'' Tillotson said. Crespi and Alemany compete in the Division I Del Rey League dominated by powers Loyola and Bishop Amat.
