Harbor College in a Southern Section Division II semifinal. On one hand, there's fourth-seeded Hart (11-1) and its pass-oriented run-and-shoot offense that has averaged 407.3 yards per game, third best in the area. Quarterback David Neill David Neill (born July 17 1980[]) was an American college football quarterback for the University of Nevada. In 1998 he set an NCAA record for most touchdown passes in a season by a freshman with 29 thrown. has completed 54.8 percent of his passes for 2,819 yards and 25 touchdowns plus 16 interceptions.

Peninsula coach Gary Kimbrell said the field is in good shape. Herrington said it's muddy and has sprinkler heads protruding pro·trude v. pro·trud·ed, pro·trud·ing, pro·trudes v.tr. To push or thrust outward. v.intr. To jut out; project. See Synonyms at bulge. . The press box is small and there's no room for a spotter. ``It's ridiculous we're playing a semifinal game there,'' Herrington said. The game should come down to the defenses. The team that will win is the one that can adjust quicker to what it hasn't seen before. Hart has had success at stopping a running team, holding Palmdale to 20 yards on the ground last week. At the same time, Peninsula runs straight ahead instead of laterally lat·er·al adj. 1. Of, relating to, or situated at or on the side. 2. Of or constituting a change within an organization or a hierarchy to a position at a similar level, as in salary or responsibility, to the one being left: , as did Palmdale. ``If someone's running the ball on you, it can cause some mental problems,'' Peninsula coach Gary Kimbrell said. Peninsula has faced two passing teams in West Torrance and Mira Costa. But Hart's run-and-shoot could tire many of the Panthers' two-way players. The Indians might have caught a break. Peninsula defensive lineman/tight end Scott Huber suffered a partial tear in a medial collateral ligament The medial collateral ligament or MCL (or tibial collateral ligament) is one of the four major ligaments of the knee. It is on the medial or inner side of the joint. Nov. 26 and won't play. Huber has 16 sacks and scholarship offers from Stanford, Arizona State, USC An abbreviation for U.S. Code. and Wisconsin.
