Carroll makes South Bay stops

USC football coach Pete Carroll made a few detours on his way back to his Palos Verdes Peninsula home from campus on Friday.

Carroll stopped to watch the Inglewood-Long Beach Wilson game at Coleman Stadium, where highly touted Inglewood receiver Shaquelle Evans surely caught his eye. It looks like his Westwood counterpart Rick Neuheisel was also in the house at Inglewood.

Then it was off to Manhattan Beach to check out the Mira Costa-Loyola game, where John Elway made a pregame speech to the Mira Costa players and a sizeable donation to the athletic department.

It looks like the Pac-10 continues to have the South Bay on its radar. I'm sure it won't be the last time we will see them or their coaching staffs at South Bay games this season.
