VC FOOTBALL: Hornets end winless season Last Updated: October 30, 2009 The Valley Center High School football team finished its season with another blowout loss.

Washington quarterback Jake Locker has been named as one of 15 semifinalists for the Davey O'Brien Award, which is annually given to the nation's best quarterback.

One of the most encouraging developments of the bye week for the Huskies was the apparent return to active status of safety Jason Wells , a senior who hasn't played in more than two years while battling knee and Achilles injuries.
