CJ Woods was acting as if
he had just completed a
climb to the highest
mountaintop — the joy in his
voice, the smile on his face,
the expression in his words.
Sitting in a classroom
wearing a white football
T-shirt, Woods described in
exhilarating details what he
felt like after playing in his
first high school football
game for Brentwood School.
Woods, whose mother
(UCLA) and father (Wash-
ington) were Division I col-
lege basketball players, had
never gone out for football.
He was a 6-foot-4 starting
basketball player for the
Eagles until he got up the
courage to try football going
into his senior year last
spring.
So there he was after
playing defensive end for the
first time in a real game.
“I was so happy I almost
started crying,” he said.
“Everyone was screaming
and yelling. We were down at
halftime and came back. It
was nothing like I’ve ever
done because it was some-
thing I have never done. I
didn’t have words for it. It felt
special. I saw my parents. I
was so happy. Oh, my gosh, it
was the most fun I’ve had.”
There are teenagers who
end up regretting not trying
something different during
their high school days when
that’s exactly what high
school is supposed to be
about — experimentation
and finding something you
like. There’s nothing wrong
with failure. You move on.
But if you don’t try, you’ll
never know.
Woods had been lobbied
by friends to try football for
years. Finally, he took the
risk, overcoming concerns
about how his basketball
coach or parents might react.
“I was a tiny bit worried,but he was very supportive,”
Woods said when he in-
formed basketball coach
Ryan Bailey of his decision.
Bailey told him not to
worry about summer basket-
ball. Focus on football and
enjoy. “I’m really proud of
CJ,” Bailey said. “If you cando it and don’t, you’ll regret
it. He’s maximizing his tal-
ent.”
Football coach Jake Ford
had approached Woods and
was thrilled he decided to try
football, even though he had
zero experience. Ford re-
members Woods’ first seven-on-seven passing tourna-
ment last May. He went out
for a pass and started clap-
ping his hands after running
a curl pattern like he would if
he wanted someone to throw
him a pass into the post area
in basketball.
He needed to be taught
from scratch all the funda-
mentals of football — how to
tackle, how to run a post
pattern, how to put on a
helmet, how to buckle the
chin strap, how to wear
pads. He started from the
bottom, and, boy, is he get-
ting better.
“He learned he was bigger
and stronger than every-
body,” Ford said.
He’s 215 pounds with long
arms. One of the perks of
football is that Woods no
longer worries about his
weight. He has put on 15
pounds with the approval of
his parents.
“That’s probably the best
thing,” Woods said. “I can
actually go to Chipotle andget two burritos and my
parents won’t stress.”
He caught one pass in
Brentwood’s 21-13 loss to
Palisades on Friday night.
He had 16 tackles, includ-
ing three sacks, before the
game against Palisades.
He watches football
games on television differ-
ently, now that he’s playing.
“It’s weird,” he said. “I see
what the defensive ends are
doing.”
Every game, every prac-
tice, every team meeting, he
enjoys.
“It’s so much fun,” he said.
“The camaraderie is real. The
brotherhood is real. A lot of
my teammates have been so
supportive. It’s something
that really feels fulfilling.”
So what’s his recom-
mendation for athletes torn
about trying something
different?
“I say, if you really want to
do it, go for it,” he said. “Don’t
even overthink it. Just jump
into it.”He’s found whole new euphoria: football

There are two things one
can expect from a matchup
between Narbonne and Gar-
dena Serra.
First, there will be future
college players on both sides
of the football.
And second, the game
will feature a handful of
twists and turns and the
winner won’t be decided un-
til the waning moments.
The latest edition of this
storied rivalry featured both
of the above with linebacker
Alonso Person coming up
with the game-saving play.
With clinging to a seven-
point lead with Serra driving
on the Gauchos’ 30-yard line
and less than a minute to
play, Person anticipated a
pass from Doug Brumfield
in the flat, broke on it, and
got enough of his hand on
the football to knock it away
from a receiver who would
have had first-down yard-
age.
Person’s pass deflection
sealed the 28-21 nonleague
home victory for Narbonne
over previously unbeaten
Serra and capped a strong
team defensive effort.
“Alonso is so long and it’s
so deceptive for opposing
quarterbacks,” Narbonne
interim coach Joe Aguirre
said. “You don’t realize how
long he is in the flat and we
worked on it all week.”
“We have a lot of talent on
defense,” Person added. “We
have to clean some things up
with penalties, and when we
do that, I don’t think anyone
can match-up with us.”
No. 6 Narbonne improved
to 4-1 on the season and took
home its fourth straight vic-
tory over No. 9 Serra (3-1).
It was a slow start offen-
sively for both teams as Nar-
bonne took a 13-7 lead into
halftime, but star receiver
Traeshon Holden jump-
started things for the Gau-
chos in the second half bytaking the opening kick of
the third quarter back for an
80-yard touchdown to give
Narbonne a 20-7 lead.
Serra’s Lavon Bunkley
answered quickly by inter-
cepting Narbonne’s Jake
Garcia and scoring on a 65-
yard return at the 6:43 mark
of the third, cutting its defi-
cit to 20-14.
Garcia helped the Gau-
chos regain a two-score lead
on a 27-yard pass to Holden,
which was followed by a
two-point conversion pass
from Holden to Anthony
Beavers, giving the Gauchos
a 28-14 advantage with 5:34 to
play.
Serra responded yet
again as Brumfield con-
nected with Lavon Bunkley
on a 36-yard touchdown
pass with 3:32 left.
Narbonne went for it on
fourth and short at midfield
on its final possession of the
game, turning it over on
downs with under two min-
utes to play.
Serra mounted a strong
effort on its final drive but
couldn’t convert as Person’s
deflected pass sealed the
win.Defense preserves Narbonne win
