Carson, Banning: New Faces, Old Expectations : Southern Section Opens Today; City Teams Start Next Week

Share
Times Staff Writer

Reminded that Carson High’s football team graduated 18 starters, including 11 now at four-year colleges, Coach Gene Vollnogle nonchalantly replied: “So what? Other guys are going to step in.”

Obviously, rebuilding is not a pressing concern at the school.

The same is true at neighboring Banning High. The Pilots lost most of their starting lineup to the college ranks and sophomore phenom Derek Sparks, an All-L.A. City fullback, transferred to Montclair Prep in Van Nuys.

But you won’t find Banning Coach Joe Dominguez crying the blues.

“I think that’s what makes both schools kind of unique,” Dominguez said. “We’re not centered around one particular player.”

Regardless of personnel losses, Carson and Banning seemingly always have a new wave of players capable of leading their teams back to prominence.

That again appears to be the case this season. Carson and Banning are rated 2-3 in the state behind De La Salle of Concord by Cal-Hi Sports, and Carson is ranked 12th in the nation by USA Today.

And, for the second consecutive year, Carson and Banning are ranked 1-2 in The Times’ South Bay preseason poll.

What’s the secret behind the continued success at these Football Factories?

Vollnogle, beginning his 27th season at Carson, says it’s a combination of coaching continuity, good athletes and ethnic harmony.

“We have a real good mixture,” he said. “We’re not all white, we’re not all black, and we’re not all Samoan. We’re all these different races, and we get along well.

“I don’t care how you cut it, it seems like the blacks are fast, and the Samoans are strong and like the contact. And we have a mixture of whites in there. Maybe we’re getting the best of the three worlds.”

Vollnogle modestly credits his 288-73-1 career record to the steady stream of athletes who have passed through Carson’s halls since the school opened in 1963. The Colts have not had a losing season since 1968.

“You can’t do it without them,” he said. “Too many coaches believe that (winning) takes place because of themselves. I’m not one of them. You have to have good athletes.”

At Carson and Banning, the assembly lines are rolling again.

A rundown of the top 10 teams in the South Bay follows. Last season’s record and league finish are listed.

1 CARSON

1988 Record: 12-1

League: Pacific

Coach: Gene Vollnogle

Despite the loss of several key players, including L.A. City Player of the Year Errol Sapp (now a running back at Arizona) and record-breaking quarterback Perry Klein (now at UC Berkeley), Vollnogle says this is one of his most talented teams.

“I think we’re going to be pretty good,” he said. “We have three of the better receivers around. (Quarterback) Armin Youngblood understands the game. We have good running backs. The defense is going to be a strong point. If we have a weakness, it’s the offensive line. But they look like they’re going to come around.”

Youngblood was the odd man out at quarterback last season behind Klein and Fred Gatlin. Instead of letting talent waste on the bench, however, Vollnogle put Youngblood at running back, and the shifty junior responded by rushing for 338 yards and scoring 11 touchdowns, second on the team behind his cousin Sapp.

Now he gets his chance to run the offense and work with a talented group of receivers. Michael Ross, a preseason All-American who led the Colts with 32 catches and a 19-yard average last year, is at the head of the class. Not far behind are speedy Tydus Winans, who sat out last season with a leg injury, and talented junior Demetri Hobson.

Offensive coordinator Steve Clarkson is gone, but Vollnogle intends to keep the short passing game that helped Carson to its seventh L.A. City title last season. So, look for new running backs Michael Jefferson and Jonathan Perez to contribute as receivers as well as rushers.

Carson received a blow when guard Newly Young, the only returning starter on the offensive line, was declared academically ineligible. Unless his F is changed, Vollnogle said, Young is out for the year. That would leave the Colts with an untested unit up front, but one with good size.

Two defensive starters return, and both are standouts. Outside linebacker Nkosi Littleton (6-2, 220), a ferocious tackler, is a preseason All-American, and junior cornerback Clayvand Thomas, who transferred from Verbum Dei along with Littleton, was second on the team with three interceptions last year.

Others expected to play big roles include junior defensive end Marcus Long (6-2, 205), a transfer from Lynwood, middle linebacker Harry Fuamatu (6-0, 220) and junior free safety-punter Tarriel Hopper (6-3, 205), younger brother of former Carson and USC star Darrel Hopper.

The Colts open the season Sept. 15 with a demanding game at Bishop Amat, ranked fourth in the state by Cal-Hi Sports and second in the Southern Section by The Times. The Lancers were the only team to beat Carson last year, 17-13.

2 BANNING

1988 Record: 11-3

League: Pacific

Coach: Joe Dominguez

When last seen, the Pilots were nursing their bruised egos on the Coliseum turf after suffering a 55-7 loss to Carson in the L.A. City 4-A championship game. Not exactly the way to end the season, but Coach Dominguez wants his players to learn from history.

“I hope the kids who played in last year’s game will motivate the others,” he said.

One player who has not forgotten Banning’s darkest hour of 1988 is senior John Ma’ae. Entering his third year as starting quarterback, Ma’ae can remind the younger players that they have a score to settle.

He began the mission this summer, leading Banning to the championship of the 32-team El Camino College Festival with two victories over Carson. That may not be an accurate indication of how things will turn out when the rivals meet Nov. 9 at Veterans Stadium, but it showed that Banning should be closer to Carson than last year’s two-game spread of 79-20.

One of the primary reasons for optimism is the return of Ma’ae, who passed for 1,425 yards and completed 58% of his passes last year. Dominguez calls the athletic senior the best quarterback in the South Bay.

Ma’ae’s passes will be spread among a strong group of receivers headed by transfer Sheldon Butler, an All-Angelus League pick from Bishop Montgomery, and juniors Michael James and Terence Campbell. Campbell is the younger brother of Olympic hurdler and Banning graduate Tonie Campbell.

Sparks’ transfer leaves Banning without its leading rusher of a year ago, but Dominguez feels tailback Travis Davis can compensate for the loss. The speedy junior enjoyed a productive summer after starting at cornerback last season.

The offensive line will miss Pac-10 recruits Bob Whitfield (Stanford) and Andy Gonzalez (UC Berkeley). The good news is that junior tackles Eric Battle (6-3, 255) and Art Donnell (6-4, 265) are big and promising. “The offensive line is a question mark,” Dominguez said. “Not because we don’t think they are capable, but because they haven’t played that much.”

Middle linebacker John Herrera (6-2, 220) will anchor a defense that also returns cornerback Nizam Walter (6-0, 195) and safety Curtis Daniel. Outside linebacker Robert Chavez (6-0, 210) and end Jason Lloyd (6-2, 225) are also highly regarded.

Dominguez, starting his second year as head coach, says he’ll know what kind of team he has after the first two games against Long Beach Poly (No. 5 in CIF Division I) and Muir (No. 1 in Division II).

3 LEUZINGER

1988 Record: 9-2-1

League: Bay

Coach: Steve Carnes

Leuzinger teams are characteristically quick and aggressive, traits the Olympians carried into last year’s Bay League title showdown with Santa Monica. Unfortunately for Leuzinger, Santa Monica was bigger and stronger, and rolled to a 41-28 win.

Coach Steve Carnes says it will be tougher for opponents to kick sand in Leuzinger’s face this season.

“We’re physically stronger than we’ve been in the past,” he said. “We have a number of kids close to the 300-pound mark in the bench press, and most of the kids are benching over 200.”

Advertisement

Carnes said the Olympians are reaping the benefits of a year-round lifting program implemented two years ago after the weight room was refurbished.

The results are most noticeable on the offensive line. Tackles Jim Justice (6-2, 260) and Mark Alvarado (6-2, 225), guards John Guilfoyle (6-0, 200) and Mike Donnelly (6-0, 205), and center Greg Kainz (6-4, 215) have beefed up from last year, when 200-pound linemen were scarce at Leuzinger.

“This is our best offensive line since I’ve been here,” said Carnes, starting his sixth season. “Now I have to look up at my offensive linemen. That’s a luxury for us.”

The coach regards Justice, the strong-side tackle, as the standout. “He’s one of the best linemen in the league, if not the best.”

Operating behind the line are a talented group of backs. Quarterback Zak Odom, an all-league selection last year when he passed for more than 1,000 yards, returns “stronger, faster and more mature,” Carnes said.

Odom’s supporting cast is headed by junior tailback Marvin Johnson, a strong runner who gained varsity experience as a sophomore, and acrobatic wide receiver Quang Banks, perhaps the team’s most recruitable player. “Quite a few schools are interested in him,” Carnes said.

Defensively, the Olympians feature a strong, seasoned unit. Linebackers Manny Gonzales (5-11, 190), Jonas Woodring (5-11, 190) and Johnson (6-1, 190) return to anchor the team’s aggressive split-six scheme. Tackles Rick Betving (5-7, 200) and Jessie Puryear (6-2, 190) also are returning starters.

Carnes said a lack of experience could force changes at defensive end and in the secondary, where only Banks is a returner at cornerback. Look for quarterback Odom to double at the other cornerback spot.

Although Leuzinger is bigger and stronger, Carnes complains that the Olympians are not as quick as they have been in the past. But most coaches believe they are quick enough to contend for the Bay League and CIF-Southern Section Division II titles. Leuzinger is ranked No. 3 in the Division II preseason poll behind Muir and Canyon of Canyon Country.

4 WESTCHESTER

1988 Record: 10-3

League: Western

Coach: Larry Wein

With 11 starters back from last year’s team, which reached the L.A. City 3-A championship game, the Comets seemingly are a coach’s dream. So why is Larry Wein having nightmares?

“It’s a group you feel scary about,” he said.

Wein, returning for his eighth season at Westchester, worries that living up to expectations might be difficult.

“I think we have a lot of potential,” he said. “But teams don’t always play the way you expect. Last year’s team had a lot of question marks, but I felt they were hungry. Now we have a lot of experience, but will they stay hungry?”

Advertisement

That question will be answered in time. On paper, though, the Comets appear capable of making their third consecutive appearance in a City final. They won the 2-A crown in 1987 and lost the 3-A title last year to South Gate, 13-9, on a turnover late in the game.

All-City tailback Tim Holiday (6-1, 185) returns after rushing for 1,202 yards and eight touchdowns last season. Said Wein: “I think he’s one of the best backs in the area. He reminds me a lot of Eric Dickerson, the way he runs straight up and strong. It doesn’t look like he’s moving too quickly until you realize nobody is catching him.”

Holiday will share ball-carrying duties with alternating fullbacks Walter Grissam and Chris Baccus, both of whom can fill in at tailback. The backs will run behind an experienced line that returns four starters, most notably tackle Calvin Dotson (6-4, 260) and guard Noah Kaiser (6-1, 230).

If the Comets have a weakness, it’s an untested passing game. Quarterback Brad Freeman and the wide receivers lack varsity experience, but Wein has been pleased by Freeman’s progress.

The defense should be strong with the return of six starters, headed by all-league linebacker Butch Hahnn (6-0, 205). The aggressive Hahnn led the Comets in tackles in ’88 and is described by Wein as a “Dick Butkus type.” The coach is equally high on defensive end Darren Johnson (6-0, 180), who will also play tight end.

Rounding out the defensive returners are tackles Wes Smith (5-10, 185) and Hassan Allen (6-1, 225) and defensive backs David Brown and David Wein, son of the coach.

Westchester will be tested early. The Comets open the season Sept. 15 at Granada Hills, considered one of the City’s top teams and the 4-A champion two years ago.

5 WEST TORRANCE

1988 Record: 4-6

League: Ocean

Coaches: M. Knox, J. Black

West enters the season with the most experienced backup quarterback in the South Bay. Paul Myro, who called signals in all 10 games last year, agreed to move to wide receiver for his senior season.

The reason behind the change? Co-Coaches John Black and Mark Knox saw the writing on the wall, and it spelled John Walsh.

“He’s the big difference in our team,” Black said of the Warriors’ new quarterback.

Walsh, a 6-foot-3, 180-pound junior, enters his first varsity season with impressive credentials. In two years at West, he guided underclass teams to a 19-1 record, including a 10-0 sophomore campaign. He demonstrated his ability again this summer, leading the Warriors to strong showings in the L.A. Games and El Camino College Festival, where he was named all-tournament.

“He’s the best quarterback we’ve had since Mark and I have been (head) coaches,” said Black, who took over the Warrior program with Knox in 1984. “He has a quarterback’s mentality. When he gets back in the pocket, he seems to be focused downfield. He does a lot of things naturally.”

Walsh won’t be expected to do it alone. The Warriors, coming off two losing seasons, feature a good blend of experienced seniors and talented juniors.

The depth at running back and wide receiver is the best it’s been in years, Black said. Josh Moore, who was on his way to an all-star season when he went down with a shoulder injury in the fifth game last year, is healthy again and will share tailback duties with Brian Malinofsky and promising junior Roberto Bustamonte. Alex Schultz, another junior, will play fullback.

The receiving corps is headed by returner James Kim, who impressed several coaches at the El Camino College Festival; junior Ryan Berry, younger brother of former West All-CIF receiver Sean Berry, and Myro. Matt Vincent (6-2, 190) returns at tight end, and junior David Snakenborg (6-2, 185) also figures to see action.

The Warriors have a solid first unit on the offensive line but not much depth. All-league center Justin Arquisch (6-0, 220), guard Jae Kim (5-10, 190) and tackle David Kingston (6-0, 215) are returning starters. Junior tackle Scott Werner (6-2, 260) has good size.

The defense should be strong with the return of seven starters: Vincent at outside linebacker, tackles Mark Gehley (5-11, 220) and Cedric Lee (6-0, 190), inside linebacker Jae Kim, Moore and Malinofsky at cornerbacks and free safety James Kim.

“We hope to be more physical,” Black said.

And more successful. West has been tabbed a favorite for the Ocean League title and is rated No. 7 in the CIF Division VII preseason rankings.

6 HAWTHORNE

1988 Record: 8-3-1

League: Bay

Coach: Goy Casillas

For the first time since 1985, someone other than Curtis Conway will quarterback the Cougars. And, as Coach Goy Casillas points out, that’s a tough act to follow.

Advertisement

“It’s hard to replace an athlete like that,” he said of Conway, who passed or ran for 62 of Hawthorne’s 82 touchdowns in the last two seasons. “But we have some good kids working hard.”

Senior Kalvein Latu , who was Conway’s backup last season and passed for four touchdowns, is battling for the starting job with Jamil Williams, a speedy junior who can also play wide receiver.

Whoever starts at quarterback will have a talented group of running backs to work with. Tailback Chris Alexander, one of the top sprinters on the state champion track team, returns after missing most of last season with a broken arm. Sharing ball-carrying will be junior fullback Armando Fernandez (6-0, 200) and backups Rodney Dunbar and Cornel Black.

The remainder of the offense is inexperienced. Only guard Harrelson Notah (6-2, 220) returns on the line, where three juniors will start. The biggest and most promising newcomer is tackle Jared Tuione (6-6, 250). None of the receivers are back, but Casillas expects big seasons from wideouts Jermaine Jones and Eric Allen and tight end Gary Huhn (6-5, 215).

Hawthorne has long been known for its aggressive split-six defense, and there’s no indication that the Cougars are slipping, despite the graduation of eight starters. Inside linebackers Sione Mahe (6-3, 220), an all-South Bay pick in 1988, and Anthony Smith (6-0, 210) return to anchor the unit along with end Brandon Smith.

With only five starters returning, Casillas is counting heavily on his younger players to come through. If they do, look for Hawthorne to again challenge for a playoff berth in the Bay League.

7 MORNINGSIDE

1988 Record: 8-3

League: Ocean

Coach: Ron Tatum

vl,4

The numbers are down at Morningside after its dominating league championship season. Coach Ron Tatum says the roster is “in the 20s,” making it the lowest player turnout in his five seasons. There are only four returning starters.

“The jury is out right now,” he said. “The younger players show a lot of enthusiasm, but it’s a matter of how fast they learn.”

Showing the way will be returning quarterback Ernesto Carmicle, a dangerous runner who passed for more than 1,400 yards last year. Tatum says Carmicle is the type of player who does whatever it takes to win. “If he gets support,” the coach said, “things can happen.”

Morningside’s other offensive threat figures to be tailback Stacey Harvey, who spent last season primarily as a blocking back. Now it will be his turn to tote the ball, and Tatum says the senior has looked good in practice.

Backup quarterback John Cotton moves into the starting lineup as a wide receiver, an inexperienced position for the Monarchs. They are also untested on the offensive line, where only guard Danny Katoa (5-11, 200) returns.

Katoa, a junior who has been a varsity starter since his freshman season, moves from nose tackle to linebacker and will be expected to shoulder much of the defensive load. “He’s a very tough, hard-nosed kid,” Tatum said. “He’s always ready to play football.”

Advertisement

The only other defensive returner is cornerback Eric Atkins. Carmicle and Harvey will also play in the secondary, making it perhaps the strongest area on the team. Look for freshman safety Stais Bozeman (6-3, 170), a highly regarded basketball player, to contribute.

As on offense, the defense’s most glaring weakness is a lack of experience and depth on the line. “We’re not as big as last year,” Tatum said. “We’re small.”

Still, with talented players like Carmicle, Harvey and Katoa, coaches are leery of Morningside. Every Ocean League coach who responded to a Times poll ranked the Monarchs either first or second. They are rated No. 6 in the CIF Division VII preseason rankings.

8 NORTH TORRANCE

1988 Record: 7-4

League: Ocean

Coach: Don Bohannon

“We’re not afraid to put the ball in the air,” Coach Don Bohannon said. That comes as little surprise to anyone who has seen Brian Jurado in action.

Jurado, who became North’s starting quarterback as a sophomore last year, returns after passing for more than 1,500 yards and earning All-Ocean League honors. He showed no signs of slowing down this summer, leading the Saxons to the championship of the prestigious L.A. Games passing tournament.

Jurado (5-10, 155) is one of the South Bay’s smallest quarterbacks, but his ability to run the offense makes him an imposing figure on a team that returns only four starters and eight lettermen.

The passing game is in good hands on the receiving end as well. L.A. Games Most Valuable Player Eric Hansen returns after ranking second on the team in catches last year. Bohannon is equally high on sophomore wideout Jason Jassman (6-3, 180).

The Saxons hope to balance their attack with a productive running game. Andy Alvillar, North’s most experienced back, moves from fullback to tailback. The offensive line returns one starter in center Anthony Castro (6-1, 215), but Bohannon says tackles Ron Treutlein (6-4, 248) and Dennis Stevens (6-2, 220) look promising.

All-league defensive backs Hansen and Alvillar will anchor the secondary. The rest of the defense is young and inexperienced, especially at linebacker. Defensive end Marc Afoa (6-4, 220), a talented junior, could develop into a standout, Bohannon said.

“Our young players must step in and take charge,” the coach said. “I think they can do it.”

Bohannon also hopes North can get off to a better start than last season, when it lost three of its first four games before winning six in a row.

9 BISHOP MONTGOMERY

1988 Record: 5-5

League: Angelus

Coach: Steve Carroll

Nothing seems to dampen Steve Carroll’s enthusiasm entering his first season as the Knights’ head coach.

Advertisement

When thieves burglarized the school’s weight room last year, he worked to replace equipment. When 11 projected starters transferred to other schools, he called the remaining players “fantastic.” And when he’s reminded that Bishop Montgomery has never qualified for the CIF playoffs in the treacherous Angelus League, he remains optimistic.

“This team is talented,” Carroll said. “We’re hoping to surprise some people.”

The Knights were 5-1 last year when they hit Murderer’s Row in the Angelus League and lost four straight to Servite, Mater Dei, St. Paul and Bishop Amat. That lineup again awaits Bishop Montgomery, whose schedule includes nine games with teams that reached the CIF playoffs in ’88.

Carroll believes he has the athletes to remain competitive. They start with two-way tackle Chris Maumalanga, a 6-4, 330-pound senior who set weight-lifting records at the El Camino College Festival this summer. However, an ankle sprain could limit his playing time in early games.

The loss of all-league wide receiver Sheldon Butler to Banning was a blow, but the return of Jason Beatty and tight end Mike Hall (6-3, 218) gives the team two experienced receivers. The backfield will be manned by quarterback John Zimmerman, who played on the sophomore team last year, and running backs Matt Burrola, Marvin Negrete and Dave Roberts. The offensive line boasts good size, headed by Maumalanga and guard Andy Fernandez (6-2, 245).

Maumalanga, Hall (linebacker), Burrola (cornerback) and Roberts (safety) are the returning starters on defense. Burrola was an all-league choice last year as a junior when he was second on the team in interceptions and third in tackles.

10 ROLLING HILLS

1988 Record: 5-5

League: Bay

Coach: Gary Kimbrell

“We’re trying to pick up where we left off,” said Coach Gary Kimbrell, whose Titans capped 1988 with back-to-back wins over Torrance and rival Palos Verdes. Kimbrell says it took that long for the team to develop a winning attitude.

Advertisement

In his second year at Rolling Hills, Kimbrell says this group exudes more confidence but will have to overcome inexperience to remain competitive. The Titans return only four starters.

“The younger kids have to come through,” he said.

The two biggest guns in Rolling Hills’ arsenal are seniors Jim Rudberg and Greg Schwartz. Rudberg (6-1, 212), who plays tight end and linebacker, comes off a season in which he caught nine passes for 155 yards and ranked second on the team with 82 tackles. Schwartz, the team’s fastest player, plays tailback and free safety and serves as backup quarterback, a duty he performed last season.

Another key player figures to be Steve Archibald (6-0, 200), who will be asked to play fullback, linebacker and handle the kicking and punting.

Junior quarterback Bill DeMucci lacks experience, but Kimbrell believes he can get the job done. The coach is equally high on wide receiver Issac Brown, a talented senior who will also play strong safety. Tackle Fernando Thadepalli (6-2, 245) is the only returner on the offensive line.

The defense returns two starters in Rudberg and cornerback Mike Lemons. End Dan Beck has varsity experience.

With so many players going both ways, depth could be a problem. That’s why it was encouraging last week when two out-of-state transfers showed up at practice. Kimbrell says David Yam (6-3, 248), a junior lineman from Hawaii, and Robert Coulter, a junior running back-defensive back from Texas, could become valuable additions.

Other teams to watch:

Serra (7-4) goes after its third straight Camino Real League title under new Coach Leo Hand, formerly the head coach at St. Anthony and Servite. The Cavaliers boast good team speed and will be led by wide receiver-defensive back Clayton Lopez (six interceptions in ‘88), quarterback Fred Safford and running back Dennis Gerard. Serra is ranked No. 8 in CIF Division VII.

Statistically, Mary Star (6-5) returns two of the South Bay’s top players. Quarterback Shawn McEachern passed for more than 1,500 yards last season and junior running back Matt Redlew rushed for more than 1,000. Another talented returner is tight end-defensive tackle Steve Barker (6-3, 225), an all-area choice in ’88. Under new Coach Mike Marinkovich, the Stars are expected to contend for the Santa Fe League title with St. Monica and defending champion El Segundo.

Many coaches feel Mira Costa (1-9) is ripe for a turnaround under new Coach Larry Petrill, a former assistant at Aviation High, El Camino College and San Jose State. The Mustangs return an experienced team, led by running back Mike Clairmont (868 yards, eight TDs in ‘88) and several good-sized linemen. “They scare me to death,” said one Ocean League coach.

A new era begins at South Torrance (5-5) as Don Morrow replaces longtime Coach Joe Austin, who compiled 108 wins in 17 seasons. Morrow, formerly the offensive coordinator at Redondo, brings a new system to a team that returns nine defensive starters, led by linebackers Rowan Kelly (6-0, 200) and Chad McGovney (6-1, 215).

Gardena (3-7), considered a serious rival of Banning and Carson only a few years ago, will try to bounce back from a disappointing season under new head Coach Mike Sakurai. The Mohicans have good team speed but little experience.

Palos Verdes (6-4), which has won three Bay League titles in six seasons under Coach Bill Judy, has only four starters back. The Sea Kings return two prominent players: Blake Anderson, who moves from running back to quarterback, and wide receiver-defensive back Mark Antrobius.

Although El Segundo (10-1) will miss the exploits of running back-kicker Erik Evans, the Eagles appear capable of making their third straight playoff appearance. Coach Steve Newell says the team has depth and experience at most positions.

Coast Christian of Redondo Beach (12-0) is expected to contend for its third straight CIF Eight-Man Small Division title now that running back Earl Rhodes has decided not to transfer to a larger school. Rhodes (6-2, 205), the two-time division Player of the Year, has led the Saints to 24 straight wins, the longest streak in the Southern Section. Marcus Lankford takes over for Dan Pride, The Times’ South Bay Coach of the Year last season.
