High school notes: All the protection a credit card can buy

Oysters and seared ahi tuna. A 33-ounce chef’s-cut rib eye and Chilean sea bass. Creamy spinach and a one-pound baked potato. Chocolate-covered strawberries and chocolate sin cake.

Those are just some of the tasty options the Westlake Village Oaks Christian offensive line will be able to contemplate after fulfilling a challenge from their quarterback, Richie Harrington, Friday during a 29-28 victory over Westlake in the Northern Division championship game.

“I told them if I didn’t get sacked, I’d take them to Mastro’s,” Harrington said.

There were no sacks against Harrington, so it’s time to pay up. Asked whose credit card will be used, Harrington said, “It was my dad’s idea.”

Offensive lineman Marcus Piechowski said, “I’m very much looking forward to it.”

Asked how he likes his filet mignon, Piechowski said, “Well done.”

Schroeder is hired as coach

Jay Schroeder, a former NFL and UCLA quarterback, has been hired as football coach at Sun Valley Village Christian.

Schroeder was offensive coordinator for Oaks Christian’s freshman-sophomore team this season. He has coached for 12 years in Utah and California.

Strong in defeat

Although Carson struggled offensively in a 45-7 loss to Crenshaw in the City Section Division I final, the Colts performed well on defense, particularly senior cornerback Tracy Harris, who had two interceptions.

Harris went up against some top players this season, facing the likes of Santa Ana Mater Dei, Mission Viejo and Santa Margarita, and proved he can play with the best.

Preparing for 2011

For the first time since 2007, Harbor City Narbonne didn’t reach the City Section championship game, but Coach Manuel Douglas was at the Coliseum and already mapping out plans for 2011.

The Gauchos will have 17 starters back, many at key positions, such as quarterback Troy Williams. They’ll be playing in numerous summer passing tournaments while gearing up to make a run at the City title next season.

Running wild

A 300-yard rushing performance rarely happens in a championship game, but that’s what senior running back Drake Griffin of La Habra pulled off in Saturday’s Southwest Division final at Angel Stadium.

He rushed for 317 yards and four touchdowns in La Habra’s 35-26 victory over Tustin.

Griffin scored on runs of 44, 11, four and nine yards as the third-seeded Highlanders (11-3) won their third consecutive Southwest Division championship and fourth consecutive Southern Section title.
