HS FOOT: Chaminade learning complicated schemes

When coach Ed Croson arrived at Chaminade of West Hills this past summer after 10 years at Birmingham of Lake Balboa, he did not bring any assistants with him, so it has taken some time for the Eagles to learn Croson's complex offensive system.

That's why the Eagles (3-0), who play at Canyon (0-3) on Friday, continue to install new schemes and plays on a weekly basis.

"It's all brand new. We probably have about 40 percent of the offense right now," Croson said. "We've got a whole new offense, so it's probably going to take three years before we get it all in."
