JOTTINGS

Backup quarterback Cole Dimich sustained a knee injury soon after entering the football game against West Hills in the second quarter last week when he was tackled on an offensive play, but the 6-foot junior was able to play on it through the second and third quarters. He sat out Friday's win at Coronado. Hopefully, he'll be back on the active list for Saturday night's game against Christian High at Granite Hills High School...Milan Dimich, his dad, plays beach volleyball and provides the music off his laptop at "home" football games at Mission Bay and UC..."Dimich" is Croatian, and Milan, interestingly, is Serbian and Croatian (former Yugoslavia)...Lisa Griffiths' field hockey is rolling, with another shutout Friday at home over Bonita Vista. Trisha Turner scored another goal...Dave Jones' boys sand volleyball team had to make lemonade out of lemons when the Foothillers showed up Thursday with only five varsity players for three matches. The two top pairs from each school played each other, then the fifth Grossmont team member was teamed with an LJ player so that they could play the LJ "C" team...The softball field has the new artificial surface installed. It looks beautiful. There are now slats over the dugouts, which adds a little touch to the diamond. The new crushed brick infield looks pretty sharp...Milan Dimich said he grabbed some of the pieces of artificial surface that were being discarded from the softball field's old surface. He laid them down on the approach to the snack bar at the baseball field at Muirlands, at the near end of the field hockey field, and one other spot to protect against wear-and-tear.
