Thank you coaches, players and parents ...

... of the six cover boys. Obviously, it was worth it.

I want to thank Covina's Darryl Thomas, Charter Oak's Lou Farrar, Los Altos' Greg Gano, Damien's Scott Morrison, Rowland's Craig Snyder and West Covina's Mike Maggiore for letting us borrow your QBs for the cover photo shoot. I know most/all of the guys had to miss practice that evening, but I think you'll agree it was worth it. Thank you to the QBs and their parents/friends/coaches who brought them to Covina District Field. Your patience was appreciated. Also, thanks to Amat coach Mark Verti for letting us bug him during practice and coaches meetings for our interview.

All Coaches: Be aware that with the Trib's new coverage approach, we'll need more access to you and your teams. Most of you are always very accomodating and it's very much appreciated. Although it might be a hassle sometimes, usually the finished product makes it all worth it.
