Game time!

Former Rams and 49ers star running back Wendell Tyler has been in
plenty of big games in his career, but none since he retired in 1986.
You'd hardly know it's been 20 years if you saw him on the sidelines
this week at Oaks Christian.

``I'm so excited, I'm ready to put a uniform on,'' Tyler said of the
Lions' showdown with St. Bonaventure of Ventura on Friday.

Tyler is the father of Oaks Christian's leading rusher, USC-commit
Marc Tyler, and a volunteer parent in the program. One of his main
duties is to give the team a motivational speech before each game.

``I've already got this week's speech done,'' he said. ``I can't wait.''
