Matt Morrison, head coach of the La Jolla football team, accepted congratulations on his team's season Mon., Nov. 28, by responding: "I wish we had been practicing Thanksgiving week" (for the CIF Division 3 semifinals).
Morrison's first Viking team made it to the quarterfinals of the playoffs, dropping a decision to powerhouse Bishop's, which later earned a place in the finals with an undefeated record.
Morrison mentioned that league coaches will meet Thurs., Dec. 1, to make all-league selections. Names that immediately come to mind for La Jolla, which had a winning season for the first time in a while, include David McColl, a bruising running back and linebacker, and his backfield mate Alex Dockery, a quick runner who also played in the defensive backfield.
Usually a coach has the right in these meetings to put up the name of a senior or two for honorable mention out of respect for that player's faithfulness to the program, though he might not be one of the top stars talent-wise.
