HS FOOT; Dean catches on at Camarillo

Andy Dean is living the dream of every offensive lineman who has wished he could score touchdowns while someone else blocks. A three-year offensive tackle at Camarillo, Dean has switched to tight end for his senior season, and he has caught 29 passes for 718 yards and nine touchdowns -- an average of 24.8 yards per catch.

Dean's emergence has helped Camarillo (10-1) to the Northern quarterfinals Friday at Moorpark (10-1). He is a key target for quarterback Jeff Matthews, who has passed for a school-record 3,066 yards and 35 touchdowns.
