NORWALK, Calif. — Just about everything went wrong for the Servite High School football team on the night of Oct. 7.
Quarterback Tyler Lytle, who has verbally committed to play collegiately at Colorado, had a pass bounce off his receiver's shoulder and into the arms of a defender, who returned it for a touchdown. The Friars had a punt blocked and returned for another score. And, defensively, they couldn't stop the No. 4 team in the country.
St. John Bosco crushed Servite, 70-6, at Cerritos College, but throughout the night, it was easy to see why Colorado and two dozen other schools have offered a scholarship to Lytle, who spent the evening encouraging his teammates as the game slipped away.
