North Torrance has a 14-0 lead on West Torrance at halftime of their nonleague football game at North. Chris McDaniel scored the first touchdown, then North quarterback BJ Denker found Michael Capo with a touchdown pass with 34 seconds left in the second quarter.
The North defense has been getting good pressure on the West QB all night.
Regarding Blog after the west vs el segundo game ....A friend of mine told me about this link and i wanted to set it straight on what it sounds like when winkler is writing about himself. First of all I wouldnt right something like that out of respect for the kids. The players on the team are a great group of guys that are very talented and i more than enjoyed coaching them. I was hoping for the best for them this year, with an exception of vs. leuzinger (since i am coaching at the leu now). I definately wouldnt of made a comment about an individual player who is a great young man and a great player who started for me as a sophmore. I would hope the people that really know me would know better. 2nd of all I took a leave of absence from the job to get help for clinical depression that was not only affecting my coaching but also my job(which, by the way is doing much better). Holt never fired me because I never even got a call from holt to talk to me about the situation. He moved on in another direction and so did i (that was apparent when i didnt even get a call telling me about the banquet so i could have my last good byes with a great group of seniors). 3rdly, you are darn right #5 made my job easy. So did alot of those great players we had including alot of the great group that are now juniors and still playing for west. I was very blessed to have been there for those few good years and to have coached such a good group of guys. I do think if you would really watch those games that we were without #5 and really look at the playcalling there would be a realization that it wasnt the play calling but missed assignments by guys playing due to injuries that I must not of got ready enough to fill in. So ill take the blame for that.
Its a shame that a good few years with a great group of players has to be lessened because a few adults who arent the ones leaving their blood, sweat and tears on the field want to run their mouths over something that i have more than moved on from and so should they. Its a shame. I had great support from the majority of the administration, my dept., and the majority of the coaching staff. I hate to see coach pete be burned at the stake. Hes getting the opportunity to work with a great group of kids that anyone would be lucky to. I didnt and dont like the target on my back and i would hope that one wouldnt be put on his back. Goodluck warriors. See you week 10. Go LEU HOUSE>
