Junior star power: Montana, Gretzky and Smith

Like his dad, Nick Montana shows leadership skills at the quarterback position. He transferred to Oaks Christian High in Westlake Village to play in a wide-open offense as opposed to the veer attack run by his former school, De La Salle in Concord, Calif.  (Mel Melcon / Los Angeles Times)
