Crespi continues its steady progress to improve in football

Crespi High remains the only football team in the history of the San Fernando valley to win a championship in division 1 in the southern section. This occurred in 1986 when a second rear of the ball carrier named Russell White raised the Celts to the victory in the championship match against St. John Bosco.

Crespi coach Brad Vonnahme was hired in December 2022 after a 0-10 season. Then came seasons of 2-8 and 5-6.

Last week, the Celts, under the leadership and the skills of the second-year quarter-year Chase Curren, beat Gardena 34-0. It passed for 236 yards and three affected.

“Chase has a very talented arm,” said Vonnahme. “He has done very good things in the first game. He’s on the right track.”

Friday, Golden Valley is Golden Valley in the operator of the Celts.

“I think we are heading in the right direction,” said Vonnahme. “As a coach, you always assess. We are heading where we want to be. I hope that when the season is over, it’s another leap forward.”

A combination of promising second year students and some talented seniors in Crespi hoping for more improvement this season. The senior defensive lines editors James Moffat and Somto Nwude started last week with dominant performance.
