I am hearing it is official that Dan Kelley has accepted the job to become head football coach at Golden Valley High School in the Santa Clarita valley. Kelley was 26-7 during a three year stint as the head at Arleta High including two league championships and only one league loss in three years. A particularly impressive stat to GV football fans in that GV has never won a Foothill league game.

Here's an update from the Under Armour Junior Combine at St. Petersburg, FL where players are now checking in:

"2015 QB Tyler Hilinski just came through registration. The Upland, Calif.,
quarterback threw for more than 3,000 yards with 39 total touchdowns and eight
interceptions.

Hilinski is waiting for signing day. Northwestern has
talked a lot about an offer, a trip to ASU is planned for January and Oklahoma
has been pretty involved. Cal is also involved.

Upland's coach talked to
Notre Dame and Michigan State. He said it's very promising but [Hilinski is] anxious to get
his first offer.

Updates all day from the Combine

Oaks Christian announced Tuesday night that Jeff Woodruff has resigned as football coach to pursue college opportunities.

Woodruff, a former college assistant, took over the program two years ago. There was reported disagreement within the program of late.

Longtime offensive assistant Casey Clausen recently left to become coach at Calabasas.

Former Coach Bill Redell could be returning as head coach, according to Oaks Christian supporters. Redell has continued to work for the school and has said he was wrong to resign two years ago.

The school has scheduled a meeting with players and parents for Thursday.

At 33, former Alemany High and Tennessee quarterback Casey Clausen is about to become a head coach for the first time. He has has been chosen to take over the program at Calabasas High. The Coyotes were 0-10 last season.

Clausen has been a key assistant for six years at Oaks Christian. He will bring along his brother, Rick, another former college quarterback who has been an assistant with the Lions.

"I think it's a great opportunity," Clausen said.

Former UCLA receiver Mike Sherrard is expected to take over as offensive coordinator at Oaks Christian.

opens play this season on Tuesday night @ Corona Centennial. Etiwanda, defending CIF champs faces LA Dorsey at 5 pm.
Brandon, do you know if Jordan Naughton is eligible or is he serving the 30 days due to transfer?

Etiwanda looks loaded, esp with a healthy McLaughlin...

Sean McGrew and Josh Rosen had big nights as a huge Bosco o-line wore down Centennial and opened up massive holes. \

Story up later.
