Taft Coach Matt Kerstetter said he hoped to hear a decision today from City Section officials about the eligibility of well-traveled standout senior running back-linebacker Lucky Radley, who is attempting to play for the Toreadors after transferring from Agoura.

‘They’ve been dragging their heels downtown,’ said Kerstetter, noting that he had initially expected a decision last week. ‘Every time they’ve asked for information, we’ve provided it.’

Radley has not been able to practice while waiting for eligibility clearance. Taft, ranked No. 13 in the Southland by The Times, could use his services Friday when it plays at No. 17 Sherman Oaks Notre Dame.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
