Football: Checking out the North All-Star team
June 30th, 2009, 10:34 pm · · posted by Damian Calhoun
The North All-Star team completed Day No. 2 Tuesday night. The team has hit the ground running, going pads both days.
I stopped by Los Alamitos for practice, here are some of my thoughts.
What: North All-Star practice
When: Monday-Thursday, 6-8 p.m.
The pressure is on: Sure this is an all-star game, but watching John Barnes during practice and I could see that he really wants to win. Maybe it has something to do with his record in all-star games (5-0).
Options at running back: What a trio of running backs. Josh Brannon rushed for 2,168 yards last season, Ronnie Hillman (1,401) and Greg Portis (1,227) both topped the 1,000-yard mark.
There are some big boys on the O-Line: Zach Burge (Servite) checks in at 6-4, 265. Kevin Rowlands (Los Alamitos) is 6-3. Willie Mayoral (La Habra) is 285. Then there is Daniel Jamokha (Western). Jamokha is 6-5, 260.
Versatile QB’s: Clark Evans (Los Alamitos) and Kane Wilson (El Dorado) are rather similar. They both can throw and run, making life difficult for opposing defenses.
The roster update: Michael Allain (Fullerton) didn’t show up Monday or Tuesday and hadn’t contacted Barnes. He will probably be replaced.

Where is Jaron Hyche, MD grad, going to play next year?
CIF defensive player of the year, Freeway League Defensive player of the year David Arteaga was somehow left off this team,how could this happen?
I dont know rules but maybe arteaga can take allains roster spot.
i heard mr. arteaga can lay the hit. when we played agaisnt him OMG!
Arteaga is so good..what University will he be attending next year..probably the same one as Daniel Morales , Jake Peppard, and Will Mayoral,,,,
just curious, what school do you support. man or woman, you really sound like a biiter person, taking big gulps of hatorade. Oh well, what can I say. Just call it like I see it.
hey all these so county snobsneed to step up to theplate when you start putting kids down, other than mark sanchez show me 1 kid from down there who has excelled at a prominent d-1 college program and I mean prominent. dont count any porocial schools either because their the only ones who can and their kids that have arent even from the oc. so when you start saying things like just curious and mike say , look and see how many good juco transfers are at these major programs and how many play in the NFL
