HS FOOT: Crespi's Grasu vows comeback

After a stunning collapse last season that saw state power Crespi lose its final three games to fall out of playoff contention, returning offensive/defensive lineman Hroniss Grasu is more motivated than ever heading into his senior season.

"We're all (peeved) off about last year. Hopefully, we use that anger to dominate," Grasu said.

Grasu, a 6-foot-3, 255-pounder, is being courted by several top college programs, including USC and UCLA, though no official offers have come forth.
