HS FOOT: Dynamic duo at Arleta (updated)
Defending City Section Div. II football champion Arleta, 14-0 last season, is ready to unleash Omar Sanchez and Antonio Bray, the City's Section's top running-back duo this side of Taft of Woodland Hills' D.J. Morgan and Lucky Radley.
Sanchez is the returning City Player of the Year, and Bray is a high-profile transfer from Canyon who also played at Alemany of Mission Hills.
In an opening scrimmage against Reseda, Bray scored on an 85-yard kick return and a 65-yard run.
"Bray adds phenomenal speed," Reseda coach Alonzo Arreola said. "He is a game breaker, and that's something Arleta did not have last year."
The knock on Bray has been his attitude after run-ins at Alemany and Canyon, but Arleta coach Jeff Engilman told Bray from the beginning he would not put up with any problems, and so far everything is working out fine.
"His attitude has been great, and you know me -- if you have a bad attitude on this team, then you need to play elsewhere," Engilman said. "Antonio Bray knows that. Everyone on the team knows that."
Bray could not be happier.
"This is beautiful. I just can't wait to show what I can do," he said. "I'm glad Coach Engilman has given me a chance to play football again."
