Serra's Scott Altenberg, a UCLA die-hard, coaches up his stars, who often end up at USC

Irony, not love, makes the world go 'round.

The latest evidence: Gardena Serra High football coach Scott Altenberg, who bleeds UCLA blue, has built a beleaguered little program into a prep football powerhouse, only to see most of his prodigies go on to play for USC.

Like swallows to a church bell, they flock to USC at signing time. Marqise Lee, Robert Woods, George Farmer, Adoree' Jackson. You could build a Super Bowl contender around the skill players Altenberg has mentored. Even the Bolshoi hasn't developed this many breath-taking leapers.
