Spring practice begins! Aram visits Charter Oak …

Posted on by

Charter Oak (6-5 in 2010)
Numbers: About 120
Aram’s impression: Like West Covina yesterday, I was impressed by the overall number of athletes. It’s no shock, though, because when doesn’t Charter Oak have some of the best frames running around Big Lou’s football field? But what I saw Tuesday that made the biggest was sophomore-to-be running back Kurt Scoby. Oh my goodness! I don’t know what they fed this kid in the offseason and what he was lifting, but this guy has a body that most seniors would kill for. I know that Charter Oak is very deep at RB, but if Scoby plays to his frame, lookout! He may be one of the top two or three ball carriers in the area this fall. And remember, he’s only going to be a sophomore. QB Travis Santiago is still with the baseball team, so nothing to see there. WR Chris Gilchrist is still tall and reportedly getting college interest like nobody’s business. What else can I say, the Chargers looked stacked.
Under the radar: WR/DB Jonathan Thropay, DB/LB Herman Atkins and WR/DB Bryce Bobo. Bobo was probably the most physically impressive in terms of that he just looks the part of a future star. He will be a junior this fall.

  • Scoby?

    Isn’t this kid close to being an adult already? I recall hearing left and right that this kid was a 16 year old freshman? Any truth to that Aram?

  • in regards to “Scoby?”

    Scooby was 15 his freshman year and will be turning 16 before his sophmore year. He is perfectly fine and will be able to play all four years of high school football without any CIF age rule breaks.
