Gourley
shares National Championship memories

LAKESIDE (7-20-14) — The glow remains apparent
after former El Capitan High standout DELANIE GOURLEY
captured the Women's College World Series with the Florida
Gators.
"In that moment, I remember jumping on the dog
pile like there was no one else in the world. It was
only us celebrating --we were so happy, Gourley recalled.
"Then I looked around and saw the stadium full
of people, then the TV cameras and remembering everyone
back home could see it, too."
When describing the once-in-a-lifetime moments, the
other word Gourley often repeated was "surreal,"
and she also gained the pitching victory in relief with
a pair of no-hit innings in Florida's 6-3 victory over
conference rival Alabama.

24th annual ALEX SPANOS CLASSIC
Air
South rallies for Spanos Classic triumph
By Andrew Smith
© East County Sports.com
KEARNY MESA (7-12-14) — Four years ago, Grossmont
High head coach TOM KARLO took a trip up to the University
of Oregon to learn the fast-paced offense that Chip
Kelly ran to perfection and kept defenses on their heels
by running an up-tempo offense that defenses just couldn't
adjust to fast enough.
After watching his Foothillers’ quarterback ANTHONY
LAWRENCE break San Diego CIF records left and right
in the meantime, it's no secret to Karlo that the way
to defeat that style of play is to keep his offense
off the field.
The plan worked as the South eventually claimed their
4th straight victory in the series with a 21-17 triumph.

then three more miscues in the12th, finally handing
a 3-2 victory to the San Diego Stars to cap Saturday's
(July 20) doubleheader at Stars Field.
