WEEK 0 – FRIDAY
TUSTIN VS. KENNEDY
AT WESTERN HIGH
We placed Tustin at No. 25 in our county preseason rankings because that Tillers offense might be that high-scoring outfit we became so accustomed to seeing for so long. They bring back an outstanding running back, Anthony Wilkerson, who rushed for 1,211 yards last year as a sophomore. He is part of a speedy group of Tillers who could get Tustin back into the playoffs after missing postseason play in 2007. Tustin coach Myron Miller thinks this team will run that double-wing offense the right way. He did pick the Tillers to finish out of the playoffs this year, but keep in mind that all coaches are worry warts and Miller is among the biggest worriers of all (although he sure can be refreshingly honest, too). Kennedy will be interesting this year. The Fighting Irish have a new head coach, Brit Johnson, who replaces longtime coach Mitch Olson, who left to pursue new coaching challenges and humidity in Georgia. Under Olson, Kennedy has been one of the more consistently winning programs in the county. It will be interesting to see how the Irish fare without Olson, and this is a heck of a test.
Wow, The Fighting Irish Held it up tonight. We were down 3-28 at halftime and came back in the seconhalf and won the game 31-28. That’s the way to do it! Keep it up Fighting Irish<3
