Boys Varsity Soccer Season Update
by Steve Morris
The 2008-2009 edition of the Boys Varsity Soccer team first took the field on December 2nd with a lot to prove. Coming out of a rebuilding season that saw them lose to a juggernaut from Puente High School in last winter’s CIF play-offs, the Eagles had been training and conditioning all fall with new head coach Radames Lafaurie and assistant coach Allofs Lima. Injuries and AWOL football players plagued the pre-season line-up but spirits were high as the team took the trip to Chaminade. And in what would prove the template for their early season contests, Brentwood employed a smothering defense and a lightning attack to shock the traditional powerhouse 1-0…

Are College Recruiting Services Worthwhile?
by John Amneus, Assistant Athletic Director
BWS parents of student athletes sometimes ask the Athletic Department about the validity of for-profit college recruiting services that offer to put high school athletes in front of potential college coaches for a fee. While the types of services vary, most seek to introduce mostly unknown high school athletes to colleges and universities in hopes of securing athletic scholarships. ENN turned to John Amneus, Assistant Athletic Director, for answers. As a former NCAA coach (at the Div. I, Div. III, and Community College levels), and nationally-recruited athlete himself, Amneus has unique insight on this issue, and doesn’t mince words. Here’s what he has to say:

by Stan Brooks
Following the selection of the Boys Junior Varsity team in late December, Athletic Director Jeaney Garcia announced that, because of the large turnout from the 9th grade class, there would be a Freshman Basketball Team taking the court this year.
