Sultans snap 7-year streak to West Hills

SANTEE (9-4-10) — It seems like everyone associated with high school football in Santee over the past two decades has a favorite story to tell about the annual Mayor’s Cup game between Mast Boulevard rivals Santana and West Hills.

– Like how the cup name was changed 10 years ago and now officially reads “Jack E. Dale Cup” in honor of Santee’s lovable mayor from 1992 to 2000.

– Like how the 2½-foot tall cup has resided at West Hills for the past seven years.

“It’s been so long since I’ve seen the thing, I’ve forgotten what it looks like,” joked Santana coach DAVE GROSS before Friday night’s (Sept. 3) season opener at Santana.

SAN MARCOS (9-6-10) — Grossmont College wide receiver ALEX McLELAND was among the first honorees for the 2010-11 season as Pacific Coast Athletic Conference male athletes of the week. The 6-3, 180-pound wide receiver from Scripps Ranch High, caught 8 passes for 76 yards as the Griffins downed San Diego Mesa, 36-7.

Griffins blaze over Mesa

EL CAJON (9-5-10) — Temperatures on the synthetic playing surface at Grossmont College’s Mashin-Roth Memorial Field soared above 100 degrees when the Griffins and visiting San Diego Mesa College kicked off the season Saturday (Sept. 4).

Despite the heat wave the Griffins, who were decked out in their home Forest Green jerseys and pants, breezed past the Olympians 36-7 before a sun-soaked crowd of 800.

The heat didn’t seem to hamper McLeland on game day, as he hauled in eight passes for 76 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback RYAN WOODS.

Q&A: Stanford TE Levine Toilolo

PALO ALTO (9-3-10) — With Andrew Luck at quarterback, the Stanford offense looks to be dangerous and two weapons in the Cardinal arsenal will be Helix alum LEVINE TOILOLO, named the starter by (former San Diego Charger quarterback) JIM HARBAUGH, and new wide receiver Corey Gatewood. We caught up with both for a Q & A.

Larceval to start vs. No. 1 Alabama

Anthony Larceval
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (9-1-10) — Former Helix High standout ANTHONY LARCEVAL will face the biggest assignment of his life as a starting defensive tackle for San Jose State University when the Spartans open the season Saturday (Sept. 4) against top-ranked Alabama.

It will be the second time in San Jose State's 93-year football history opening against the preseason No. 1 (Nebraska , 2000) as they make the journey to the Deep South and Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Larceval, a 6-1, 265-pound red-shirt freshman, will participate in his first ballgame since falling in the 2008 CIF Division II title game to Oceanside, 23-19, after sweeping to the Grossmont South League title en route to being tabbed the East County Defensive Player of the Year.

Sticking together
Vandals linebackers connect on field and at home

Homer Mauga
MOSCOW, Idaho (8-29-10) — Come Thursday night, Idaho football fans will have a better sense of how the Vandals’ starting linebacker crew has coalesced. Already, though, this much is certain: They fit together splendidly at their off-campus home.

JoJo Dickson and Robert Siavii are from Hawaii, HOMER MAUGA’s family used to live in Honolulu, and all three have carried the laid-back islands’ vibe to their house.
