Michael Nicholson: August 2010 Archives
Many years, the overall roster for the Yucca Valley High School football team barely sports more than 23 players. Needless to say, the Trojans are pumped up by a 2010 roster that has 23 seniors on the roster - something that is unheard of for smaller schools.
"We are really excited about this group of kids," Yucca Valley coach Tim Cannavo said. "The last few years we've really made an effort to get numbers up and get kids excited about this program and this is the result of it. Any time you have experience like this coming back, it's a great thing."
A third of those seniors have been starting since their sophomore year and have seen their share of success at Yucca Valley, as the Trojans have finished second in the De Anza League the past two seasons, qualifying for the playoffs both times. Yucca Valley won its first round playoff game in 2008 before losing a close quarterfinal matchup with eventual champion St. Margaret's.
