SOMETHING NEW FOR HART -- QB ISSUES.Byline: GERRRY GITTELSON GITTELSON BITS Hart High of Newhall is the area's most consistently successful football program over the past 25 years or so, but for the first time in a while the Indians have quarterback issues -- a significant dilemma considering every Hart starter since 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. in 1997 has eventually earned a Division I college football scholarship. Hart went into to spring practice this past week with no idea whom the next quarterback will be, as last year's backup, unproven Darren Scholes, is competing with junior C.J. Reyes, last year's JV starter. "We're looking to find players. -- The quarterback job is wide open," coach Mike Herrington said. Spenser Souza, a top returning receiver and defensive back, also might try his hand at quarterback, but for now is busy with baseball. Generally, Herrington, in his 20th year at Hart, has downplayed the significance of spring workouts. But this year, even he admits there is work to do, especially when he considers he's breaking in a new offensive coordinator An offensive coordinator typically refers to the coach on a football team in the National Football League or College football who is in charge of the offense. This position aids the head coach by designing and scripting plays, delegating work to offensive position coaches during and a new defensive coordinator A defensive coordinator typically refers to a coach on a football team in the National Football League or college football who is in charge of the defense. This position aids the head coach a great deal in many ways by delegating play calling to other coaches and allowing the head . But Hart's still Hart, and a sub-.500 season or anything even close to that will be out of the question. There are key returning players from last year's 12-1-1 team, including running back/receiver Demitri Diamond and receivers/defensive backs Souza and Blake Borland and linemen Chris Anderson Chris Anderson may mean:
"Ty looks really good. He's a player," Herrington said. More spring football news All eyes are on Crespi of Encino, which last year advanced to the finals of the Pac-5 division -- the section's most competitive division -- and returns several key players, including quarterback Bryan Bennett, running back Jeremiah McKibbons, receivers Kevin Cummings and Blake Stanton, defensive backs Mikio Island and Kevin Williams Kevin Williams may refer to:

"Spring practice is going well," Crespi coach Jeremiah Ross said. "Bryan Bennett has grown a couple of inches and gained 20 pounds, and he's starting to look like a real quarterback at 6-foot-3 and about 180 pounds. Rasheed Johnson, we kind of want to ease him into things, but he's a heck of a football player. Reggie Coates is going to be a player, too. He might be the next D.J. Holt." Linebacker Lucky Radley, expected to be one of Crespi's top returning players, is no longer enrolled but might return. At Alemany of Mission Hills, coach Dean Herrington -- Mike's younger brother Wiki is aware of the following uses of "'Younger Brother":
"The participation is unprecedented," said Herrington, whose team finished 8-4 last year and advanced to the second round of the Western Division playoffs. "I think we have 220 boys in our 10th-grade class, and 51 are playing football. Overall, we have 54 varsity players and 49 JV players." Alemany returns running backs Malcolm Marable and Antonio Bray, both of whom have star potential, and Herrington loves his new quarterback, David Metcalf, a converted defensive back who is rapidly proving to be a natural. "David is David I, king of Scotland David I, 1084–1153, king of Scotland (1124–53), youngest son of Malcolm III and St. Margaret of Scotland. During the reign of his brother Alexander I, whom he succeeded, David was earl of Cumbria, ruling S of the Clyde just awesome. He's got an unbelievable arm," Herrington said. Alemany also returns twin linemen K.C. and Chucky Obi, along with linebacker Anthony Espinosa, receivers Chris Gant and Nick Cook and linemen Michael Janios and Ian Rodriguez. The worm turns? With an all-time record of 203-28-2 (.875 winning percentage) heading into the softball softball, variant of baseball played with a larger ball on a smaller field. Invented (1888) in Chicago as an indoor game, it was at various times called indoor baseball, mush ball, playground ball, kitten ball, and, because it was also played by women, ladies' season, it's been quite a shock charting Oaks Christian of Westlake Village's sudden fall, as the Lions lost seven of their first eight games, finished just 13-17 and failed to advance past the first round of the Div. III playoffs. "Well, sometimes the worm turns and goes in another direction," said Peter Ackermann, who has been Oaks Christian's softball coach since the beginning. "We lost several Division I and All-CIF players from the year before, but I'm not crying. There are no excuses. It's just really hard to stay on top. It is what it is. I'm not just the girls' coach. I'm their teacher, and I help them through the life process. It's just an evolving thing." Something to chew on -- not In the wake of Harvard-Westlake of Studio City's 3-2 baseball playoff loss Tuesday at Downey that lasted 20 innings and took nearly 7(bul) hours to complete -- starting at 3:15p.m. and ending at 10:35 -- I was wondering how hungry the players and coaches might have been by the end. Very hungry. Do the math: Harvard-Westlake headed for the game at about noon, so that's a long time to go with a lot of exercise and no nourishment nour·ish·ment n. Something that nourishes; food. . "Nothing to eat at all.
