Poor Season Really Bothers Donahue UCLA: Bruin coach didn’t expect this team to falter and have a 3-5 record, which is their worst start in 10 years.
After Kirk Maggio’s “absolutely horrendous spring practice,” Coach [Terry Donahue]‘s staff spent the summer looking for a walk-on punter, Donahue said. It didn’t find one and Maggio will go into the Bruins’ final three games as the nation’s No. 2 punter. With an average of 46.3 yards a punt, he ranks behind only Tom Rowen of Colorado, who averages 46.5. Said Donahue of freshman tailback Kevin Williams, who made his first start and carried nine times for 52 yards and a touchdown before spraining the arch in his right foot in the second quarter: “I thought he looked very impressive and was starting to dominate the game a little bit.” The injury, Donahue said, gives Williams “very little chance” to play this week against Stanford. . . . Linebacker James Malone dislocated his right kneecap in a pregame blocking drill and is out for the season. Linebacker Craig Davis strained a tendon in his right foot two weeks ago against Oregon State, but nevertheless has made 24 tackles in UCLA’s last two games. “Most players with that amount of pain and discomfort would not have played,” Donahue said. . . . Wide receiver Reggie Moore was expected to undergo tests Monday night to reveal the extent of an injury to his left knee. . . . Defensive tackle Brad Bryson sprained his right knee against Washington and may be out for the rest of the season.

is nearing another district title, and the Gators (2-3) are not expected to get in the way. Land O’Lakes led East Lake 12-0 in the fourth quarter last Friday and lost 15-12. The Gators have been shut out three times this year, and Tarpon’s defense has two shutouts. Fullback Jeff Batten and tailback Travis Cole continue to give the Spongers an inside-outside rushing threat. Key points: The Zephyrhills Bulldogs can finish 7-1 in Class 3A, District 4 with a victory. The Lecanto Panthers are still looking for their first victory after a 35-7 loss at Tampa Catholic last week. Zephyrhills is led by a talented backfield, including quarterback Terrell Smith and running backs Ronald Brockington and Rubin Pickett. Lecanto senior linebacker Tony Brice leads an improving Panther defense, but the Bulldogs are big, fast and explosive. Senior quarterbacks Mike Wilson and Greg Clark will split time calling signals for the Panthers, who have tried several offensive sets this season, hoping to catch teams off guard. Key points: Injuries are hurting Central, which looks to snap a four-game losing streak. Running back Kevin Kanaar (sprained right knee), multipurpose back Chris Carrington (thigh bruise) and defensive tackle Jason Jernigan (back) are questionable. Offensive guards Steele Carrie and Fred Taclik missed practiced due to the flu. Tight end/defensive end Curtiss Bunch may be out for the season with a torn finger tendon. Kanaar rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns and Central quarterback Chad Moore passed for 123 yards in the Bears’ 36-27 loss to Hawthorne last week. John Fischer made five catches for 105 yards. Bishop Moore quarterback Tom Pita’s favorite target is standout tight end Adam Bert, who had four catches for 120 yards in Bishop’s 26-0 victory over Cocoa Beach last week.
