CHINO - The checks have been filled out and signed for some time now, sitting at the bottom of Coach Jan McKendrick-Harold's briefcase just waiting to pay for Canyon's trip to the CIF girls golf State Championship tournament.
And the postseason has just barely begun.
Fountain Valley has one of the best running backs in the county, Kyle Middlebrooks. But Edison's got an extremely talented linebacker, Jordan Zumwalt.
Still Middlebrooks and his offensive linemen think they will be able to rush the ball against the No. 1 team in the county during Friday's sold out game at Cal State Fullerton.
Hear what Middlebrooks and Ryan Steadman had to say after to Tuesday's practice. (The audio glitch has been resolved.) Video by Damian Dottore, OCVarsity.com
