College Level Athletes caught up with Serra (Gardena) Head Coach Scott Altenberg, who coached USC's Marqise Lee, Robert Woods and George Farmer, along with several other notable players who have now moved on to the NCAA and NFL ranks.

"It's just exciting to see those guys play so well.. and the thing is, represent our school so well. We have three kids in the NFL this year for the first time. It says that we're putting out good kids," Alternberg told CLA after Serra's 42-6 victory over St. Francis last Thursday night.

After redshirting last season, former Serra High star quarterback Conner Preston is primed to make a big impact for the SMU Mustangs in 2012. With J..J. McDermott graduating and Kyle Padron transferring, the starting quarterback position is Preston’s for the taking. The expected arrival of former Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert in June should raise the competition but we anticipate Preston seizing the reigns under center.
