VALHALLA HS coaches Head Coach Steve Sutton (right) and Frank Yancey catch a moment with USC Head Coach Pete Carroll. Coach Carroll and Steve Sutton were college teammates at the University of the Pacific.

The JAGS staff took 10 players to USC in what has become a rite of spring. Our goal is to watch spring practice and bring their intensity and work ethic back to our practices.

COACH CARBERRY MEETS WITH TWO LEGENDS IN COLLEGIATE STRENGTH COACHING

The weight room is the key to success in any great football program. Pictured with Coach Carberry are two of the key figures in strength training at the college level. On the left is current Head Strength Coach for USC Chris Carlisle and in the middle is the founder of modern strength training Boyd Eppley. Coach Eppley, a former track athlete at the University of Nebraska in the 1960's developed the strength program that was the foundation of Nebraska's dominance for three decades of college football.

Coach centered Nebraska's training around Olympic lifts that focused on the TRIPLE EXTENSION of the Ankles / Knees and Hips. Coach Carlisle who worked with Eppley at Nebraska has taken that philosophy to a new level at USC as they go about the business of developing explosive athletes.

Coach Carberry visited the Nebraska football program in 1999 and has visited the USC program every year since 2001. The JAGUAR STRENGTH PROGRAM is patterned after the basic Nebraska/USC program. STRENGTH / EXPLOSION / CHANGE OF DIRECTION / SPEED are our focus.

SOPH RECEIVER JOSH SIPHO POST'S HIGH MARKS FOR SPRING MAX

JOSH SIPHO (UNIVERSITY CITY HS) Had a great workout day as we did our second spring max for 2008. JOSH ran a 4.36 hand timed 40 yard dash and followed that up with a 9'11 standing broad jump.

JOSH exploded in the second half of the 2007 season with two long touchdown catch and runs (80 and 70 yards) and a huge 40 yarder against the number one defense in the state Antelope Valley College with under a minute to go in the game.

JOSH has improved by leaps and bounds since he arrived on campus. His work ethic in the class room and weight room has been the big turn around for him.

WHY DREW CHOSE SOUTHWESTERN

DREW WESTLING
2007 ALL CONFERENCE QB / TEAM CAPTAIN
FULL SCHOLARSHIP TO SDSU after ONE YEAR AT SWC
“When I was leaving the University of Tulsa I checked out Saddleback and El Camino Colleges. I chose SOUTHWESTERN because I firmly believe it will be the top JC program in the country in a short time. Coach Carberry runs a program that prepares people for a big time college environment. He also has the many contacts with college coaches that allows him to do a great job of getting guys out.”
