HS FOOT: As expected, it's packed at Crespi for playoff game

It's nearly an hour before kickoff, and every seat is filled here at Crespi, as the host Celts ready themselves for a Pac-5 quarterfinal against defending champion Servite, set to kickoff at 7:30 p.m.

I bumped into Servite coach Troy Thomas, and he was in a great mood, no doubt enjoying the memories from playing for then in the Celts mid-1980s, then coaching here for four seasons ending in 2004, when he guided Crespi to a lower-division section title in 2004.
