HS FOOT: Crespi's Stenhouse has hot hand

What an incredible first month for Crespi quarterback Kenny Stenhouse, a senior quarterback starting for the first time this season after waiting in line behind Bryan Bennett, now at Oregon.

Twice over the past three games, Stenhouse has set a Crespi single-game passing record, including a 493-yard performance Friday in a 45-31 win at Vista Murrieta that serves as the second-best passing yardage total in San Fernando Valley history. According to Cal-Hi Sports historian Mark Tennis, the only San Fernando Valley passer who has ever thrown for more yards in a game was Erle Eddy of Canoga Park, who passed for 511 in a 2006 win over Poly.

This coming Friday, Stenhouse goes head to head with Taft's standout quarterback Michael Bercovici, and the nonleague game figures to be a wild shootout at Crespi in a showdown between two well-established programs separated by a short stretch of Ventura Boulevard.
