Malone is the same university in Ohio that landed former All-County Servite running back Malik Felton last season. In 2011, Felton finished as Malone’s third-leading receiver with 26 receptions for 169 yards. He also rushed for for 90 yards on 36 carries.

Servite grad and UCSB standout defender Tim Pontius was selected 33rd overall in MLS Supplemental draft on Tuesday by the Seattle Sounders.
Any day now, Phil Anton of the Brea Lions will ask Fryer and Albano to help the Lions select the North and South coaches for this summer’s Orange County All-Star Football game.
The Lions try to avoid selecting men who have coached in the game previously, but that is difficult to do. So, at least the Lions try to avoid guys, coaches who are veterans to some degree, who coached in the game fairly recently.
Last year’s coaches were Myron Miller of Tustin (South) and Michael Cobleigh of Cypress (North).
There are some good coaches who have not coached in the game, because they have turned down the offer — coaches like Mike Marrujo of Valencia, Jeff Bailey of Yorba Linda and Troy Thomas of Servite. Either of those three would be great choices for the North team this year. Most everybody else you could think of as a worthy candidate has coached in the game, believe me.
What about, for the South, Harry Welch of Santa Margarita or Robert Frith of El Toro? Jon Hamro of San Clemente (first year as head coach in 2011, sure, but what a year!) … Eric Lo of Huntington Beach?
Give us your suggestions for North and South coaches.

For the second time in a month, Servite and JSerra played each other, and the result was exactly the same. Servite won by one goal
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO – The plan for the free kick was simple. Fire the ball into the wall as hard as possible and maybe that would lead to a lucky bounce.
Maybe it’s the guys at Esperanza.
They were very enthusiastic Thursday night in the Esperanza gym, where their energy contributed to Esperanza’s shockingly one-sided 75-58 victory over Foothill, which is No. 5 in Orange County. Esperanza is not in the top 10, but could get some votes next week.
Yes, Esperanza, I believed that you could win, I believed that you could win, I believed that you could win. But by 17 points?!?!?
I shot this inferior-quality picture (left) on my Blackberry. (Hey, I’m lucky I got that.)
I will be at the El Toro-Capistrano Valley game tonight, and Capo usually has an involved student section. As does Orange Lutheran, Mater Dei, Servite, Sunny Hills … am I forgetting somebody? Let me know.
S
everal Orange County football players — including Tustin All-County running back Tyler Siudzinski, Servite All-County lineman Travis Averill and Woodbridge All-County lineman Kyle Kelley (pictured) — are expected to participate in today’s Cal State All-Star Games in Clovis.
There is a rising-star game set for 11 a.m. and a five-star game set for 2 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
Averill, a Boise State commit, and Kelley are scheduled to play in the five-star game along with Esperanza lineman Carl Hulick and Tustin linemen Lomitusi Sasi and Lopeti Tuipulotu.
I suspect Siudzinski also will play in the five-star game.
Servite wide out/TE Ainslie Johnson and Mater Dei linebacker Joseph Campos are scheduled to play in the rising star game.
ALISO NIGUEL – Servite entered this boys soccer season as a team without any lofty, championship expectations. Coach Mike Lussier has only asked one thing of his Friars: Play as hard as they and as well as they can and then see where that takes them.
ALISO VIEJO – It wasn’t the kind of goal that’s often seen in soccer, one that came without using a head or foot. And it made Servite have to wait another day to see if it will advance into the championship bracket of the Aliso Cup.
