At today’s CIF council meeting, a proposal to eliminate “athletically motivated” from rules on transfer eligibility passed by a vote of 41-33.

The Council is made up of representatives of the Southern Section’s 86 leagues. The Trinity League created and presented the proposal.

Now, it goes to the CIF State Federated Council, where it gets presented in May and voted upon in October. If passed at the state level, “athletically motivated” would be deleted from CIF transfer eligibility rules beginning with the 2013-14 school year.

Football recruiting: Woodbridge’s Kyle Kelley makes it official with Arizona

February 1st, 2012, 2:22 pm by

Woodbridge defensive end Kyle Kelley, who had already committed to University of Arizona, made it official Wednesday signing a national letter of intent in front of family and friends at Woodbridge.

“I’m excited and happy for the moment. My hard work paid off and I’m excited to be a Wildcat,” Kelley said.

Kelley, a Register all-county player,  had originally committed to Arizona, but when the Wildcats fired coach Bob Stoops, he was allowed to explore other options. But he was impressed with the coaches, including new Coach Rich Rodriguez.

“When I got back on campus for my official visit, I felt the most comfortable there and I like the coaches a lot, which is another important thing for me,”  Kelley said. Read the rest of this entry »

Football: Is Jim Kunau on his way out at Orange Lutheran?

January 21st, 2012, 12:56 pm by

We’ve been told by multiple people in multiple ways that Jim Kunau, left, is no longer the varsity football head coach at Orange Lutheran.

Kunau said today, “I am still the football coach at Orange Lutheran High School.” He declined to comment on rumors that his status at Orange Lutheran has changed or is about to change.

Lutheran did not qualify for the playoffs the past two seasons, following an 11-year streak of playoff appearances.

Kuanu just completed his 19th season coaching the Lancers.

He has been the guy at the steering wheel as the Orange Lutheran football program has evolved from a successful small schools program to a championship mid-division team and on to being a league champion in the Trinity League, a CIF-Southern Section Pac-5 champion and a CIF State champion.

Lutheran football’s climb has not been shadowed by allegations of recruiting or other bending of rules, itself a notable achievement.

Kunau’s record at Orange Lutheran: 182-52-3.

The 2011 season was a bumpy one for the Lancers. They finished tied for last place, with JSerra, in the six-team Trinity League and lost to JSerra for the first time.

January 20th, 2012, 3:53 pm by

Pete Belanto, who served as an assistant coach at Woodbridge under former head coach Eric Bangs the past three seasons, has been named interim coach at Woodbridge “until further notice,” Principal Jason Viloria said Friday afternoon.

“We look forward to cheering on the Warriors as they continue their tremendous season,” Viloria said in an email.

There was still  no word from the Irvine Unified School District on why first-year head coach Dave Yates and assistant coach Ashley Smith have not coached the team since Jan. 13.

Viloria has said he can’t comment on the reasons for Yates and Smith missing the games because it is a personnel matter.

Woodbridge, which leads the Pacific Coast League, played at Beckman tonight.
