BOYS

Chris Czernek

SCHOOL: Newbury Park

SPORT: Football

YEAR: Senior

SEASON AT A GLANCE: Coming off a junior year in which he set state records with 4,152 yards passing and 45 touchdown passes, Czernek has kept the aerial bonanza going, passing for 960 yards and nine touchdowns in three games--all victories. Only Patrick Reddick returned among his receivers, but Czernek has passed to eight receivers this season.

WEEK AT A GLANCE: Czernek (5 feet 11) completed 29 of 47 passes for 355 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-34 victory over Buena. Newbury Park trailed, 34-29, but Czernek directed a 70-yard drive in 70 seconds, completing four passes to set up a one-yard scoring run by Garrett Hobba.

GIRLS

Christine Bohle

SCHOOL: Harvard-Westlake

SPORT: Volleyball

YEAR: Senior

SEASON AT A GLANCE: A 5-foot-11 swing hitter, Bohle is captain of the Wolverines and one of two returning starters from last year’s state and sectional championship team. Bohle, who also plays basketball and pole vaults, has 58 kills, 45 digs, 14 aces and seven blocks.

WEEK AT A GLANCE: Bohle had 19 kills and 14 digs as Harvard-Westlake upset Fountain Valley, the top-ranked team in Division I-A. Even more impressive, Bohle played despite what seems to be a muscle tear in her stomach. “I had so much adrenaline, I didn’t feel anything,” said Bohle, who believes she hurt herself during warmups. She consulted a physician Tuesday.

News Flash

Sylmar’s Angel Guerrero, a starter at linebacker and fullback, will be held out of the Spartans’ conference opener against Reseda on Friday for being kicked out of last week’s game against Antelope Valley.

Guerrero was thrown out by a referee in the second quarter when the 5-foot-11, 215-pound junior made an improper gesture toward the Sylmar sideline. His absence in the second half allowed Sylmar coaches to get a good look at sophomore middle linebacker Carlos Plascencia, who has earned a starting position.

Former Highland High basketball player John Burrell has enrolled at Antelope Valley College after returning this week from Midland, Texas, where he was to attend Midland Community College.

Burrell, a guard, averaged 29.9 points a game for the Bulldogs and was an All-Valley selection by The Times last season.
