Page 8 September 3, 2015 TORRANCE TRIBUNE Saxons from page 5 touchdown to increase their advantage to 26-14. Juarez and Allmond weren’t done, though. Another 14-yard pass to his new favorite receiver setup a 17-yard touchdown run by Juarez which got the Saxons to within five points at 26-21. The response showed a lot of fight and a never-give-up attitude out of North High’s head coach, Todd Croce and his team. “The way we responded when we were down was good to see,” Croce said. “We showed some resolve. We made plenty of mistakes, but we kept battling.” The Saxons onside kick was recovered by Redondo to end the game and seal the win for the Sea Hawks. Despite 200 total penalty yards on the night and a lot of mistakes from the Saxons, the team certainly had much to hold their heads high about at the end of the night. Juarez finished the game going 8 for 26 through the air for 148 yards and a touchdown. He also had 30 yards rushing and two touchdowns on the ground. Allmond shined brightly for the Saxons as well, snagging five catches for 118 yards and a touchdown. For Redondo, it was Jefferson that led the way and controlled the ball for most of the evening. He finished the game with 115 yards on 19 rushes and one touchdown on the night. Though the team took the loss, it is only the first game of the season for the Saxons and there is still a lot of football left to be played. The schedule will continue for North as they move on to challenge the PV Peninsula Panthers this week. It will be the first game of the season for Palos Verdes, who is coming off of a 3-7 season last year. It may just be a perfect opportunity for Croce and the Saxons to get themselves headed in the right direction and quite possibly acquire their first win of the season. Stay tuned right here to find out the results and to follow your North High Saxons all season long. • TerriAnn from page 2 go down to the beach. Now, that I have my own family, it is time to relax and spend time with them and have a barbecue. Just spend time with family.” Later, I bumped into ebullient, smiling, James Egnatuk, who happily told me his plans for Labor Day, “Labor Day, I am going to be vacationing in southern Arizona and I am going to be laying on a couch reading…with my wife, Ingrid, better known as Didi and we will probably do nothing. We will get up early…and just relax enjoy the beautiful vistas of Arizona and read a book and have a good time.” Although some children have already started their school year, for most, Labor Day marks the end of summer. Today, that is still true. Most people I spoke with knew Labor Day was coming, and had some plans, but few actually thought about the worker - except Rene Ayala. One worker, who wasn’t mentioned at all, was the person who works at home. When I was growing up my mom stayed home and took care of my sister, brother and me. She was cook, chauffeur, teacher, playmate, and anything else that we needed. She also, never had a day off. I do remember on her birthday, we would go out to dinner and celebrate, but I never thought about her ‘taking a day off on Labor Day’. Now, I understand even more, how much work it takes to run a household and raise children. So here is a salute to the man or woman who stays home to not only take care of the house, but rear children who will someday run our country. Enjoy this upcoming Labor Day - and remember everyone who labors – even those who labor at home. Happy Labor Day! • Douglass M O R T U A R Y “Our Family Serving Yours Since 1954” B U R I A L - C R E M A T I O N - W O R L D W I D E T R A N S F E R P E T M E M O R I A L P R O D U C T S 500 EAST IMPERIAL AVENUE EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA 90245 Telephone (310) 640-9325 • Fax (310) 640-0778 • FD658 Unanswered Financial Questions?

Legend from page 5 there in left field or “Mannywood,” as they called it. Naturally there were many, many more memories, but yup, Vin was there for every single one of them. Scully, who turns 88 this November, made more headlines the day after announcing his return next year. “I would say, realistically -- I don’t want any headlines -- but I would say next year will be the last one.” Scully continued and asked, joking of course, “How much longer can you go fooling people?” That’s Vin in his ever-typical, self-effacing light. “I would be saying, “Dear God, if you give me next year, I’ll hang it up.’” He continued, “I do feel in my bones that will be enough for sure, and I’m sure the people will say that will be enough as well.” In his older years now, Scully is finding it harder and harder to do that which he loves the most. Currently, the Hall of Fame announcer calls all nine innings of every Dodgers home game and the away games in California and Arizona. If it meant keeping him around, I certainly wouldn’t mind that workload being lessened more so. One of the things that keeps him going, however, is coming to Dodger Stadium to do his job. The friendships that he has made and the companionship that he has created has certainly gone a long way and served as a medicine, of sorts, for the veteran professional. Scully certainly has the support of both his doctor and wife to stay on the job, too. His doctor told him to stay on the job because he still loves it. “You retire and a year from now, you’ll be an old man.” His wife, Sandi, echoed those sentiments. “I know if you’re home you’ll become an old man just waiting to do something around the house,” Vin said, quoting her. No matter how old he gets in years, Vin Scully will certainly remain young and live on in the hearts and minds of Dodgers fans today and in the future. A 67-year career is not soon forgotten, especially when you are the best who has ever done it. Even now there is perhaps nothing more important to the construction of Los Angeles than Scully’s warm, soothing voice, that echoes its way into every home and teaches a lesson to all those who listen while simultaneously making you feel like everything will be okay. And just like that, you are at peace. So is Scully with his decision, but while we have this one year left, let’s not waste it. If you haven’t listened to Vin Scully lately, get on the television or radio station and do it. It is not only history you will be witnessing, it something much grander than that. You can only imagine that Vin is not big on goodbyes and that he doesn’t want the attention of leaving, so for now, remember him as best you can before the time comes where he will one day be a shadow in that California sun. Until then, however, remember him by his words: “’Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.’ I’m raging against the dying of my career, which has to be around the corner now, but at least for the God-given time that I have left, I’ll be raging.” • Visit us online: www.heraldpublications.com
