"(Kaden Pomare) is going to be playing on both sides of the ball," said Viking head coach Tyler Roach during a morning workout Wed., June 25.
Pomare, a 6'2" rising sophomore, maybe running 175 pounds, looked good during the USD Team Camp Sat., June 21, where La Jolla went 2-3 in 7-v-7 games against teams from San Diego, greater L.A., and elsewhere.
The curly-haired Kaden, who sports a riot of hair flying out in all directions, had a pass reception on La Jolla's first possession, on quarterback Hudson Smith's first play from scrimmage, in a 24-6 win over Pinnacle (Phoenix). The throw was to the left-middle.
Pomare (a teammate pronounces it "poh-MAR-uh") then grabbed another Smith aerial for a touchdown three plays later, the Vikings' first score to tie the 20-minute game 6-6.
It was La Jolla's first TD of the morning, coming in the second contest at 10:42 a.m. The initial game of the day ended in a 13-4 loss to Charter Oak (Covina).
Roach's offense subsequently scored again on TD passes to junior Nico Bardaro, senior Lukas Grismer, and junior Aiden Hogan.
Roach, in the conversation Wednesday, acknowledged Pomare has size. His lean frame will likely fill out as he does weight training and his body matures.
"He just turned 15," the head coach noted.
