Lawrence continues to re-write record book,
gains pass yardage mark in pasting West Hills
On Friday (Nov.8) the senior quarterback was poised
to place his name atop the all-time list for passing
yards in the San Diego section. Needing only 48 yards,
Lawrence found CHRISTIAN BROOKS over the middle for
20 yards early in the second quarter to vault into the
top spot.
Lawrence would finish 20-25 for 280 yards and five touchdowns
for the game as Grossmont pounded host West Hills, 48-6.
The Foothillers would score on 3 of the 5 full series
in the first half, and all of the drives in the 2nd
half, with the 4th quarter played under a running clock.
Grossmont marched 71 yards on its first drive, culminating
in an 8-yard Lawrence hook-up with Brooks. The big play
on the drive was a 15-yard burst up the middle by JAKE
HARR.
Following two stalled drives, the Foothillers (8-2,
4-1 GHL) would score touchdowns on their next six full
possessions.

After breaking the passing record early in the 2nd,
Lawrence next gave the 'Hillers a 14-0 lead on an 18-yard
pass play to ALIJAH AVANT (4 catches, 66 yards, 2 TD).
But Lawrence was just getting started. He revisited
Brooks (7-111 2 TDs) with 50 seconds left in the half.
He lofted a pass in between two defenders as Brooks
glided under it from 25 yards out.
Bad enough that Grossmont scored right before the half
to make it 21-0. They also got the ball to start the
2nd half.
Now it was Avant's turn again. On 2nd down and a yard
to go from the 32, Lawrence threw his 4th TD to Avant
and the rout was on.
Up 28-0, Avant thought he'd try something new. On a
drive that started with JOSH ANDERSON'S 23-yard rush,
Avant ran in his 3rd TD of the night from 11 yards out.
Lawrence found JT BARNES for his 5th touchdown on the
night and mercifully the scoring ended on 2-yard plunge
by DJ HILL.

"Breaking the record is amazing", Lawrence
said. "I wasn't really sure at first, but
they announced over the loud speaker and I knew it then.
But this is secondary to our ultimate goal a championship".
Hillers head coach TOM KARLO had praise for his
quarterback beyond the record. "The remarkable
thing about Anthony is his complete understanding of
the system we run. "He has free reign on every
play and we trust his reads completely."
With playoff pairings coming out Saturday Nov.9), Grossmont
might just have locked up a top 4 seed in Division I.
West Hills fell to 7-3 overll (3-2 GHL).

This also was a milestone victory for Helix coach TROY
STARR, who rolled his high school record to 200-46,
thanks to an errant extra point snap by the hard luck
Cougars.
The playoff pairings will be announced on Saturday
(Nov. 9), and the Grossmont Hills League champion Highlanders
figure to earn a decent seed in the Open Division.
Reaching this point in the season is one of our
goals, Starr said.
Helix was fortunate to escape Steele Canyon with a
win, however.
The Cougars (3-7, 1-4 GHL) put together a 16-play,
75-yard scoring drive that concluded with quarterback
DOMINIC WOOD scoring on a 9-yard run.
Before the Cougars could catch their breath, NATHAN
STINSON returned the ensuing kickoff 79 yards to tie
the game with less than a second to play in the quarter.
Neither team scored in the second or third quarters.
The Highlanders finally took the lead as quarterback
MICHAEL AUSTIN scrambled 53 yards for a touchdown that
also accompanied a PAT kick by MARCUS NORRIS that made
it 14-7.
Steele Canyon wasnt finished quite yet as XAVIER
GOODLOE wrestled a 31-yard completion from the Highlanders
JALEN DAVIS.
Wood then fired a 15-yard completion to JORDAN JOHNSON.
Wood went to the air again three plays later and hit
Goodloe with a 19-yard scoring pass.
But Steele Canyon s special teams, which were
a problem all night long, committed a back-breaking
error, denying the potential tying PAT kick by snapping
the ball over the kickers head, leaving Helix
with the final margin of victory.
Stinson led the Helix offense with 117 yards on 21
carries.
After Helix secured the victory, Starrs players
and fans surrounded him with various mementos of posters
and photos marking the big night.
Although subtly pleased with his latest milestone,
Starr was more interested in praising his team for capturing
their fourth straight undefeated league championship.
Im not a self-promoting kind of guy,
Starr said. Ive been lucky to be surrounded
by good coaches and good players.

CHRISTIAN 62, LA JOLLA COUNTRY DAY 9 The
Patriots of Christian finished the regular season as the
top scoring team in the San Diego Section with 474 points
in a 9-1 season.
We did that despite playing with nine running
clocks, said Christian offensive coordinator DAVID
BEEZER.
Six times Christian scored 49 points or more, including
62 vs. La Jolla Country Day in Fridays (Nov. 8)
non-league finale. The Patriots figure to earn a No.
2 berth in the San Diego CIF playoffs.
TREVOR HOWELL snared seven passes for 200 yards and
two touchdowns in the Patriots romp over the Torreys.
In the third quarter, ZANE COFFMAN busted up the middle
and went untouched for a 60-yard touchdown run.
Also in the third, Christian sophomore quarterback
DAVID TODD JEREMIAH fired a quick-hitter to a slashing
TREVOR HOWELL around the left hash that turned into
a 50-yard score, as Howell juggled the pass momentarily
before gathering it in and racing in to the end zone.
Late in the third, freshman JOEY MORONES rumbled up
the middle for a 53-yard run, shedding a tackler at
midfield and getting hauled down at the 1. On the next
play, the 205-pound back was rewarded with the 1-yard
scoring blast.
The Patriots' offensive line had a field day, led by
freshman JON STEIN, juniors CHAD HUMPHRIES and LAITHE
ISENMANN, seniors DAVID SUDA and OWEN ADAIR, and sophomore
TY NICHOLS.
Christian improved to 9-1, while the Torreys fell to
5-5.
EL CAPITAN 48, EL CAJON VALLEY 7 As predicted,
this regular season finale was all but over at the end
of the first quarter. However, the visitors did not
come away unscathed.
El Cajon Valley coughed up the ball on their first
possession, and it was recovered deep into Braves' territory
by El Capitan linebacker DANIEL GOULET.
The Vaqueros were in business. The first handoff from
scrimmage was to linebacker-fullback D.J. SMITH, and
as he stumbled he laid his right hand down to regain
balance. He came up with his elbow hanging . . . season
over.
"It's devastating for the team, and for D.J.,
said El Capitan coach RON BURNER. The whole plan
was for D.J. to get a few carries and gain 18 yards
to achieve 1000 yards for the season, and to sit out
the remainder."
The show had to move on, and the Vaqueros did just
that. Five plays later quarterback BRAD CAGLE up the
middle for a 3-yard score, 7-0 El Capitan . The Vaqueros
would not let up, with Cagle hitting slot receiver ISAIAH
CAPOOCIA twice for two scores in the 1st quarter and
with wide receiver DYLAN ARNAIZ in the second quarter,
leaving a lopsided score of 42-0 at intermission.
Coach Burner, aware of needing to keep his players
healthy, as they stand to be the No. 4 seed in the Division
IV playoffs, started to file in the second stringers.
The Vaqueros allowed the Braves to chew up some field.
An ALAN MICHAEL HARRIS quarterback run into the endzone
for a touchdown late in the 3rd quarter left the score
42-7, Vaqueros.
El Capitan would take a knee in victory formation to
seal the win, 48-7.
Cagle finished the night, 8-14 passing for 113 yards,
threw 3 TD passes, and rushed for one.
"We are taking it one game at a time, are a No.
4 seed in SDS CIF playoffs, and a first round bye,
Cagle noted. Whoever we play, we are gonna come
out hard."
Cagle went on to say how he really wanted D.J. Smith
to get his 1,000 yards rushing, and how he just slipped,
and season over.
Another defensive notable, safety SAM MELERO had two
picks on the evening, one he returned 70 yards for a
touchdown.
El Capitan finishes the regular season 9-1 overall
and 3-1 in Grossmont Valley League play. Be very afraid
of these Vaqueros, they are a team to watch.

GRANITE HILLS 45, VALHALLA 25 Only once
in the last 12 meetings has Granite Hills vanquished
Valhalla, but the Eagles did so convincingly Friday
evening (Nov. 8), with a 45-25 nod at Granite Hills
Stadium in a contest that appeared to be more of a practice
session on lets see how many yellow flags
we can throw by the hardworking referees.
Late in the first quarter, Eagles junior quarterback
SETH COLLINS broke through the line on a draw play and
squirted 33 yards to the Norsemen 27-yard line to give
the Eagles the first opportunity to score.
On the next play, however, Valhalla senior defensive
back TYLER KASTAN and defensive lineman ANDREW TODD
stuffed the runner and ripped the ball loose, where
it was pounced upon by teammate CHRIS RAMSEY at the
Norsemen 29-yard line.
Three plays later, with the ball at the Valhalla-31,
EAN HENDRICKSON came in to punt for Valhalla . With
a 1-8 record in this rebuilding year, offensive coordinator
COLLIN EARDLEY had Hendrickson fake the punt and take
off down the right sideline, stepping out of bounds
8 yards later after carefully negotiating his route
just past the first down marker that is, until
the referee spotted the ball shy of the marker, giving
the home team great field position at the Valhalla 39-yard
line.
Collins methodically led the Eagles on a 12-play drive
that resulted in the games first score when he
scampered for an 8-yard touchdown run down the right
sideline. BRYCE STRICKLAND split the uprights with the
PAT attempt, giving the Eagles a 7-0 lead with 6:56
left in the first half.
Junior quarterback VINCENT MANUPELLA took over for
PHILLIP NASSEH on the Norsemens next possession,
starting at their own 20-yard line. He got the Valhalla
offense moving with a quick hitter to wide receiver
DANIEL RODRIGUEZ, good for a 20-yard gain to the Valhalla
40-yard line.
Two plays later, Manupella threw a wide receiver screen
pass to senior JOHN TODD for a 15-yard pick up to the
Eagles 45-yard line. Then disaster struck.
First, one of many what appeared to be phantom
holding penalties moved the Norsemen backwards to their
41-yard line; then MICHAEL LEDESMA picked off an errant
pass for Granite Hills and returned it to the Valhalla
30-yard line.
A 20- yard pass to Eagles receiver JOSH LONGBRAKE
to the Valhalla 8-yard line brought the Eagles knocking
once again, but sophomore linebacker LOGAN BAKER and
Kastan broke up successive passes, forcing Granite Hills
to call upon Strickland to attempt a 24-yard field goal,
which was good. Granite led 10-0, with 2:50 left to
play before intermission.
Valhalla coach CHARLES BUSSEY must have pumped up the
troops during halftime because the Valhalla offense
came out firing on all cylinders, sustaining a 17-play
drive that stalled at the Eagles 5-yard line.
Hendrickson kicked a 22-yard field goal, making it a
one possession game, 10-3, at the 8:30 mark of the third
quarter.
It didnt take the Eagles long, however, to rain
on Valhalla s parade. Four plays later, JESSE
BISBAL sped around the right side, kicked in the afterburners
and jetted 56 yards to pay dirt, extending the Granite
Hills lead to 17-3, with 6:59 remaining in the third
period. Bisbal finished the game with 10 carries for
85 yards and a touchdown.
Less than 2 minutes later, Valhalla was right back
in the game. Following one of those phantom holding
penalties, Granite had the ball at its 22-yard line.
With a fierce rush, DIAMANTE COLEMAN, BRENT KEATON and
GIUSEPPE CASTANOS stuffed the runner for a 3-yard loss.
On the next play, the snap went over the quarterbacks
head, where it was scooped up by Baker at the Eagles
7-yard line and returned for a touchdown, once again
making it a one-possession game, 17-10, with 5:03 left
in the third quarter.
Undeterred and in a hurry to end the football victory
drought against Valhalla , the Eagles took over the
game. BLAKE DeHAVEN returned the ensuing kickoff 91
yards to the Norsemen 7-yard line. Three plays later,
Collins smashed into the end zone from 2 yards out,
making it 24-10 at the 3:10 mark. DeHaven returned three
kicks for 122 yards
Seven seconds into the 4th quarter, Granite upped the
score to 31-10 after Ledesma broke off a 16-yard run.
Valhalla s DANIEL RODRIGUEZ scored two TDs in
the 4th quarter, but it wasnt enough, as Granites
senior quarterback CHRIS MEREDITH threw a 27-yard TD
pass to Longbrake and bulled into the end zone on a
1-yard quarterback sneak for another score.
Longbrake finished with 3 catches for 80 yards.
Defensively, Valhalla s Baker, the leading tackler
in the San Diego Section, added 10 more tackles, as
did Castanos, also one of the defensive stat leaders
in the County.
MONTE VISTA 44, SANTANA 3 Monte Vista
senior running back JEMEIL JACKSON rushed for four touchdowns
and three 2-point conversions for a 30-point effort
in a Grossmont Valley League victory as the Monarchs
finished the regular season with a 5-5 mark.
Jackson registered scores of 12 and 18-yard scores
in the first quarter, and ran the conversion in on both,
as the Monarchs surged to a 16-0 lead.
Junior running back LEE WADE added a 26-yard scoring
run in the second quarter, and Jackson followed with
the conversion, increasing the lead to 24-0.
The Sultans got on the board in the second on a 30-yard
field goal by junior JACOB HAMPSON.
Jackson later rushed for another 18-yard touchdown,
putting Monte Vista ahead 30-3 at halftime. Jackson
s fourth score came on a 4-yard run in the third
quarter.
Finally, in the fourth, senior running back JAQUI MORRIS
ran for a 5-yard touchdown.
The teams split the time of possession, but Monte Vista
finished with an 18-5 first-down advantage.
Monte VIsta 's defense recorded three interceptions
on the evening.
Santana senior receiver OWEN BROWN had a nice night,
grabbing six receptions for 44 yards, and recorded an
interception with a 30-yard return. Brown also had 12
tackles, including seven solo and one for loss.
Santana senior linebacker A.J. JAMES had 10 stops,
including five solo and one for loss.

Longest
play in duration?
This screen pass during a recent
high school football game in Rhode Island lasts
an astounding 33 seconds.
In Thursday's (Nov. 7) regular season finale, the Knights
held the lead through the first quarter against Calvary
Christian Academy before the Royal Knights pulled away
in the second half to take a 56-19 victory, clinching
their second straight league crown.
"We have mostly freshmen while Calvary has a bunch
of seniors, so the future looks bright for us,"
said Foothills Christian head coach THOM LUBIC. "With
a good summer in the weight room, our returning players
now know for sure they can compete for the league title
next season."
However, for 2013, Calvary Christian Academy (9-1,
5-0 Citrus) is the title-holder thanks to running back
Justin Santa Maria. The junior back carried 29 times
for 253 yards and four touchdowns, covering 3, 13, 28
and 25 yards.
Santa Maria capped an 88-yard drive on Calvary's first
possession, but a couple of breaks allowed Foothills
to claim the lead.
The hosts forced a fumble, but it was nullified by
a roughing the passer penalty, which temporarily knocked
the Knights' CALEB HOFFMAN out of the ballgame. But
upon his return after sitting out one play, Hoffman
connected on a 45-yard scoring strike to senior DANNY
ZASTOUPIL in his final high school contest. Hoffman's
conversion kick gave Foothills a surprising 7-6 advantage.
The teams then swapped five TDs over six possessions
in the second quarter, giving Calvary a 28-19 lead at
the intermission.
Foothills' scores included Hoffman's 13-yatd TD pass
to CAMERON DESMARAIS. The score came on the first play
following a 60-yard kickoff runback by DANIEL HOFFMAN.
A series later, a Hoffman-to-Hoffman connection saw
a series of re-directions to avoid a pair of linebackers
before Daniel Hoffman found clear space on a 76-yard
dash.
During the second quarter, Santa Maria nearly posted
another touchdown, but fumbled just short of the goal
line, JOSEPH EICKOFFforced the ball loose with TAYLOR
BANKHEAD recovering in the end zone for a touchback
on the opening play of the quarter.
Just before the half, Bankhead registered another fumble
takeaway after CONNOR GEORGE jarred the ball loose from
Santa Maria in the backfield for a 3-yard loss.

If the host Wolf Pack (7-2, 3-1 GHL) were to upend
the No. 15 Grossmont Foothillers (7-2, 3-1), it is conceivable
that the league could end up in a three-way tie, should
Helix (7-2, 4-0) stumble at Steele Canyon (3-6, 1-3).
You could call this the Record Bowl.
On the Grossmont side Foothillers quarterback ANTHONY
LAWRENCE has already established a San Diego Section
record with 632 pass completions. The senior signal-caller
needs 48 passing yards to break the section record for
aerial connections. Hes also 7 touchdowns shy
of the section touchdown passing record.
But all the hoopla does not belong solely to Grossmont.
West Hills kicker DANIEL McMANUS is on a record-breaking
skein of his own. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound senior needs
3 field goals to break the CIF season record of 16 presently
held by John Cortney of St. Augustine (1997).
On a further note, McManus is aiming to break the Most
Consecutive Field Goals record of 9 that is held by
Nate Tandberg of Rancho Bernardo (1993) and Jordan Congdon
of St. Augustine (2004).
This has been a lopsided series of late, with the Foothillers
winning the last four games by a composite score of
159-41.
It wont be that lop-sided, but the Hillers should
squeak out a victory this time... Grossmont 24-21.
No. 5 HELIX at STEELE CANYON, 7 A year
ago Helix stampeded past Steele Canyon 46-10 in a Grossmont
Hills League contest, but theres no way that a
lop-sided game of that measure will be repeated Friday
night (Nov. 8) in Cougar Country.
There are those who say its been a down year
for Helix (7-2, 4-0 GHL), but youll never convince
Cougars coach SCOTT LONGERBONE that the Highlanders
are sputtering on either side of the ball.
The Highlanders need a victory to secure the GHL championship.
Should they stumble, they could wind up tied with Grossmont
and West Hills.
This is a new-look Helix team than the one that began
the season. Quarterback MICHAEL AUSTIN is the sophomore
director of an ever-improving offense for the Highlanders.
NATHAN STINSON has picked up the ground game. In his
latest outing he gained 185 yards and 2 TDs on 21 carries.
That backed up the passing of Austin, who completed
15 of 21 passes for 232 yards and 2 touchdowns.
But the pivotal performer for the Highlanders is JALEN
DAVIS, who has scored 10 TDs as a receiver and kickoff
returner.
Running back-slotbacks LAWRENCE DICKENS and MARKELL
LINDLEY carry the Steele Canyon offense, while SEAN
McCARTHY anchors the Cougars defense.
This one has upset written all over it... Helix
21-17.
VALHALLA at GRANITE HILLS, 7 The host
Eagles can look forward to the playoffs, while Valhalla
has been all but eliminated as these two teams meet
in Fridays (Nov. 8) Grossmont Hills League final
game.
The Eagles need a win to be 5-5 and will certainly
get a berth in the San Diego Section Division III playoffs.
If Valhalla, in Division I, were to pull an upset,
theres a slight chance that the Norsemen could
snag a playoff berth, but dont bet on it.
The Eagles need to shift into high gear since theyve
lost 4 of their last 5 games if they want to get any
kind of seeding preference.
Both of these teams have played musical chairs at various
positions. Probably the most noteworthy players for
Valhalla are linebackers LOGAN BAKER and GIUSEPPE CASTANOS.
Key players for Granite Hills are running backs JESSE
BISBAL and SETH COLLINS.
Valhalla grounded the Eagles 41-0 a year ago but theres
no way thatll happen again... Granite Hills
28-26.
No. 12 EL CAPITAN at EL CAJON VALLEY, 7
This one should be an ugly affair as the once-beaten
Vaqueros figure to bury the Braves in Fridays
(Nov. 8) Grossmont Valley League finale.
El Capitan is all but certain to extend its 5-game
winning streak at the Braves expense, which includes
a 54-14 victory over El Cajon Valley last year.
The Vaqueros are an offensive powerhouse led by quarterback
BRAD CAGLE (2061 yds, 22 TDs).
On the flip side the Braves have been battered by injuries,
so the score will be... El Capitan 42-7.
SANTANA at MONTE VISTA, 7 The host Monarchs
need a victory in Friday nights (Nov. 8) Grossmont
Valley League regular season final to finish with a
5-5 record.
Monte Vista has won 9 of the last 12 meetings in this
series with Santana, including a 41-7 win last year.
The Monarchs are a battered bunch with key injuries
across the board, but that will not be enough to stall
them against the Sultans... Monte Vista 33-0.
CHRISTIAN at LA JOLLA COUNTRY DAY, 7
The Central League champion Patriots could easily look
past host La Jolla Country Day in Fridays (Nov.
8) season-ending non-league game. But dont expect
that to happen.
Led by quarterback MICHAEL CARRILLO (1792 yards, 22
TDs), the Patriots are poised for a blowout of the Coastal
League Torreys (5-4). Carrillo has thrown only one interception
in 279 passes.
Christian has scored 412 points while registering 3
shutouts on defense.
So even though this game doesnt have any major
meaning, dont expect the Patriots to look past
long-time rival LJCD... Christian 42-14.
Thursday, Nov. 7
FOOTHILLS CHRISTIAN vs. CALVARY CHRISTIAN at Olympian,
7 p.m. After snapping a lengthy losing streak
with a 9-6 triumph over Julian, the Foothills Christian
Knights hope to carry the momentum of a two-game winning
streak into the playoffs in Thursdays (Nov. 7)
regular season Citrus League final. Last time these
teams met was in 2011 with the Royals Knights snapping
a two-game losing streak. This is a tough one to figure...
Calvary Christian 23-9.

I have been a reader of your website for
more than 10 years and greatly appreciate
the unique, high-quality product that you
produce week after week. As such, I was surprised
you were willing to utilize your reputable
platform for the opinion piece written by
Linda Byerline about the lopsided nature of
the Helix-Grossmont rivalry. Despite her various
accusations, she is unable to produce any
evidence to indicate that Helix "recruits"
football players. If anything, Helix has been
hurt more by transfers with the transfer of
Josh Harris to Oceanside than any benefit.
Did any of this year's stars start out their
high school careers at a different school?
I think the biggest indicator that Helix
does not recruit is the continual influx
of players who went to the feeder middle
schools, La Mesa and Lemon Grove middle
schools. If Helix coaches were recruiting
Pop Warner players, we could see lots of
players from completely different middle
schools showing up at Helix freshman year.
This simply is not the case. Should Ms.
Byerline indeed have any evidence of malfeasance,
a call to the CIF would quickly clear things
up faster than airing any sour grapes on
your website.
She indicates that the rivalry should be
more even. Why is that? Should El Cajon
Valley fans accuse Grossmont of recruiting
because they have a grossly uneven series
against them? Should Helix accuse Grossmont
of recruiting in baseball given their prolonged
string of dominance? No, some programs are
simply better than others.
Calvin Hwang
Helix Charter High School, Class of '03
OPINION:
Should Helix football be removed
from Grossmont Conference play?
[This is an independent opinion from one of
our readers. EastCountySports.com takes no side
in the matter.]
The annual football game for The Musket between
Helix and Grossmont high schools sounded like
it was full of excitement, but left me wondering,
"What if?"
Prior to Helix making the transition to become
a charter school for the 1997-98 school year,
it was widely known to be a school that heavily
promoted the football program. Thus, If you wanted
your child to get a good education you would request
an intra-district transfer and send them to Grossmont;
if you wanted your child to do well in football
you would request the paperwork to send them to
Helix.
However, Helix' chartered status changed everything,
making for an uneven playing field. The Highlanders
now may acquire student-athletes in any form that
they wish to acquire them to attend their school.
For instance, Point Loma Tech, which is on a
lottery system due to the large number of students
attempting to gain admission to the school, may
choose to acquire their students in any form they
wish to do so.
Thus, Helix, too, may also choose to pursue any
specific type of children to attend their school
by any means.. However, although a public school
in the broadest sense, Helix possesses a free
pass to recruit students specifically to play
football, leaving them with a lop-sided series
advantage in what should be a more even series
with their neighbors to the east.
Things have reached extreme proportions. Helix
players and coaches, during postgame hand shakes,
openly ask the top opposing players to transfer,
while coaches may also choose to attend Pop Warner
games county-wide, looking for the Best of the
Best and "woo" these potential students
to their school. Again, something that other schools
cant do.
This advantage has resulted in Helix not only
dominating its football series with Grossmont,
the Scotties have already won league championships
10 times this century, including seven of the
last eight titles.
The CIF is already taking measures to neutralize
such advantages, lumping the most successful programs
into an "open division" for playoff
competition. Other parts of the country also are
doing this.
However, the Grossmont Conference has remained
effectively in tact for more than 50 years since
its creation in 1961. Perhaps it's time to change
the playing level during the regular season, too.
One easy fix is to move charter schools into
the same league with large-enrollment private
schools and academies. Thus, one league alignment
could consist of: Helix, Steele Canyon (another
charter high school), academies in San Dieguito
and Canyon Crest, plus the county's two largest
private schools in Cathedral Catholic and St.
Augustine.
It's not like it hasn't happened before locally.
When the CIF San Diego Section was formed in 1960,
St. Augustine (along with Fallbrook and Mountain
Empire) requested to remain in the Southern Section
before returning years later.
This new "Super Six" league would consist
of similar schools, each attempting to lure (recruit)
students, doing so with the full knowledge of
other schools that will not have this same advantage
-- they must continue to take only the children
within their boundaries.
Grossmont and Helix may continue to battle in
non-league, neighborhood games, but the fallacy
of a rivalry could be erased.
Administratively, the Grossmont Conference could
still run well with nine schools (10 when a school
in Alpine is finally constructed).
Since CIF opened the door with its new playoff
line-up, go all the way and do it across the board.
This system may be best for more schools and keep
competition more fair, because right now, no one
can effectively challenge Helix for the Grossmont
Hills League crown.
Linda Byerline
OTHER
THOUGHTS: I am an alumnus of Helix High School and former
football player during the Jim Arnaiz era. Way back
30 years ago, our team won the Grossmont League
title during all of the years I was a student and
player. We also won a few CIF titles in the process.
Back in those days and continuing on into the 1980s
and 1990s, Helix remained a football powerhouse.
Helix has dominated the Grossmont League for more
than 30 years and the results are due to great Coaches
and players, striving to always stay on top. Helix
has always modeled its football program, in the
same manner as Michigan, USC, Ohio State, Notre
Dame, etc. The football program has always been
top notch and the players of today and many former
players always strive to keep the tradition alive!
So, why now are parent's or coaches from other schools
complaining?
This constant whining and complaining that Helix
always has the best football athletes is nonsense.
The football coaches at Helix are all top notch.
Aside from the varsity head coach and defensive
coordinator, most or all of the junior varsity and
freshmen coaches are dedicated volunteers, who have
full-time jobs, and dedicate their time to contribute
to a successful program. I should know, because
I am one of those coaches. We have players that
come to us with little or no prior playing experience
at the youth football level or at any level of football.
We coach and develop these players to improve their
skill level and enhance their football knowledge.
There are many examples I could provide to your
independent source. We also stress academics first
and tell our players that football or any other
sport is secondary.
Other Grossmont League schools have many talented
football players. I should know, because I have
seen them play against Helix over the past five
years. Maybe it is time for these Grossmont League
schools, who are upset with the level of play
from their football teams, to please look in the
mirror and develop a football program that fits
there talent and plays to there strengths. Maybe
then, they will begin to realize, that it takes
hard work and dedication, to become a successful
football program.
No one is complaining that Oceanside High, Cathedral
Catholiic High and others, qhich are also dominant
football programs in San Diego County. Heck, Oceanside
has beaten Helix numerous times in the CIF Finals
and all we talk about at Helix is working hard
and striving to remain competitive for our school
and community!
I am just appalled at these accusations, They
hold no merit.
