MISSION VIEJO – Max Redfield stood just a few weeks from announcing his college decision when USC's football staff called a bold play in December in hopes of recapturing the promising recruit it once counted as a commit. Five coaches, including Trojans coach Lane Kiffin, arrived for a recruiting visit at Redfield's home with the He

SANTA ANA – Mater Dei football coach Bruce Rollinson got a phone call in the fall from a Filipino newspaper asking about the ethnic background of senior receiver Thomas Duarte. Rollinson was befuddled. "In honesty, I didn't even know what his background was," Rollinson said. "I had to ask his parents." They all had a good l

Gabriel Perez is one of 11 children, so he knows the challenges of life in a large family. There's the general volume at home. "It's kind of loud," he said. "My two youngest sisters are twins. They're 1 1/2." And there's the occasional wayward elbow during meals. "Sometimes," he said with a smile. The Vale
