Kieren Wilson begins his third year as cornerbacks coach for the La Jolla High football team. These comments came before the Vikings' first game in the 7-v-7 passing tournament at UCLA Sun., June 23.

What do you want to see from cornerbacks? What do you specifically want to see in the first game from your guys?

Looking more for our guys to focus more on having great eyes, based on the coverage scheme that we're in for a given play. So, for example, if we're in man coverage, I'm looking for our guys not to be staring back at quarterbacks.

If we're in zone coverage, I'm looking to see that our guys are recognizing the route of number two, 'cause that way, they know how they fit in within the defense, based on the route concepts we're going against.

I'd say those are the top two keys right now.

Good luck today.

I appreciate you.
