Late Saturday night, the day after La Jolla's last playoff football game, senior receiver Carlton O'Neal posted a message on his Facebook page expressing his enjoyment and acknowledging the fact it was his last high school football game.
O'Neal wrote: "To all the fans that have come out and watched us play over the past four years: thank you. It was really fun while it lasted. I loved nothing more than donning the red and black and playing for LJ.
"To all my teammates: all good things have to come to an end unfortunately. You juniors need to step up and make this team yours. Before you know it, you will be done too. Don't allow yourself to finish next season with regrets. It sucks."
Carlton is one of the more articulate athletes I have interviewed over the past two years.
