Say it ain't so, Brigham: Harwell signs with Redskins

signed with the Washington Redskins.
There was good news and bad news over the weeknd, at least for this reporter, who is a fan of our former area stars.
The good was that after failing to be picked in the seven rounds of the NFL Draft, 2003 Area Player of the Year Brigham Harwell of Los Altos signed a free-agent contract. The bad news, at least for this reporter, who is fan of the Dallas Cowboys, was that he inked with the hated Washington Redskins, and will turn his blue and gold in for cardinal and gold...ewww!
But its good for Harwell, who I believe should have a good shot at making the club. He's a big-time run stuffer, and knows the Redskins' defense system, which is the same UCLA has run the past few years, since former Bruins defensive coordinator Dwayne Walker previously coached for the Redskins.
But here's a good luck to Brigham, and I guess for games when they are not playing the Cowboys, I can root for those 'Skins!
The draft was good for former Damien High School and Citrus College star Freddie Brown, who was selected in the seventh round by the Cincinnati Bengals. Brown starred for Utah last season, catching 77 passes for 900 yards and seven TDs as the Utes went undefeated and beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.
Also former Damien star Ian Johnson, who played at Boise State, signed a free-agent contract with the Minnesota Vikings, while former UCLA punter Aaron Perez was invited to attend a New England Patriots mini camp this weekend. UCLA's Bret Lockett of Diamond Bar will try out for the Cleveland Browns.
Good luck to all!
As a Skin fan this man will be in heaven, the VA area is Skin crazy, my CA wife was amazed at the loyalty and fanatic frenzy that surrounds them. He'll do well and enjoy the ride!
Im just worried because this is the kind of players that Gano is going to bring to damien
0-2 so far. No harwells or shaun codys so far
0-2 and chonk so far lucky to get a THLEE SEVEN no congrats
Coach Gano will create a winning program. I watched both Harwell and cody come up and they got better because of the coach
Can you follow up on Delaney Baylor currently at University of La Verne and publish a:
Whatever happen to Delaney Baylor the All CIF pitcher from Charter Oak High School ?
She and her teamates could use some help over there to spike some interest in there program.
appreciate it, thanks
what ever happened to azusa standout and afl star Sherdrick Bonner? and how good was he at AHS?
I had Brigam Harwell as a 7/8 th grade student in my boys phys ed class. He was the fastest runner in the school, so was picked first every time we made up our football teams. However when the QB said, "Go long for a pass", Brigam just couldn't catch the football.
So I suggested that he concentrate on rushing the QB and pull his flag (no tackle in middle school). He was unstoppable, and took that talent on to Los Altos High School and U.C.L.A. as an outstanding defensive lineman! So proud to see that he has made the pros!
