Loara senior football player Federico Bernardino, injured Friday during the Saxons game against Katella at Glover Stadium in Anaheim, was alert and moving all of his fingers and toes when he was taken by ambulance to a hospital as a precautionary measure, Loara coach Dean Lappin said late Friday evening.
Bernardino was injured on a kickoff return in the game, which Katella won, 34-7. The game was delayed while Bernardino received medical attention and was placed in the ambulance. Lappin said Bernardino suffered a concussion.
“He was talking to me while they were working on him,” Lappin said. “He said to me, ‘How’re we doing?’ And I said, ‘What’s more important is how Federico is doing.’”

Teams that do not finish high enough in their final league standings for the automatic playoff berths can qualify for at-large berths in some divisions.
The Southwest Division has two at-large berths and the Southern Division has one. There are no at-large berths in the Pac-5 Division.
To be eligible for at-large berth consideration, a team must have a final overall record of .500 or better. Lacking enough .500 teams to fill the at-large berths, the CIF-Southern Section then considers teams with the next-best records.
Here are Orange County’s at-large berth contenders …
Orange League
SAVANNA (3-2, 0-0) VS. KATELLA (3-2, 0-0)
Where, when: Glover Stadium, Friday, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Letās first salute two of the countyās better coaches, dedicated veteran guys who always get the most out of their rosters, Savannaās Roger Whalen and Katellaās Fred DiPalma. Their teams are not going to get on TV, and they are not going to see their teams highlighted in the county top 10. But they continue to serve and serve well.
BUENA PARK (3-1) VS. KATELLA (3-1)
Where, when: Glover Stadium, Thursday, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Not many would have predicted these two would be 3-1 after four games. But here they are, two long-struggling programs thriving in the nonleague portion of their schedule with the potential to finish high enough in league to qualify for the playoffs. Buena Park handed Costa Mesa its only loss, and also has beaten Garden Grove League lower-strata teams Bolsa Grande and La Quinta. The Coyotes lost to 3-1 Estancia by three points.
Sportswriters are invited to vote in the CIF-Southern Section rankings of its 13 11-man football divisions. I only vote in the Pac-5, Southwest and Southern Divisions, per my choice as those are the divisions with which I have enough knowledge to make an informed vote.
Of course, I know some of you will say I should not vote on any divisions …
The Southern Division vote …
