Persistence personified
His voice mail states he's either sleeping, eating or swimming. That's dedication. Nick Korth's tale is one of perseverance.

Passing league a time for growing
Grow up fast. That's the message Valencia football coach Larry Muir sent to his team. With four returning starters on defense and five on offense, the Vikings have a lot of growing to do. Ditto for Canyon and Hart, who took part in a passing league scrimmage, along with the Vikings and Oaks Christian at Valencia High School Wednesday night.
