There was a kid about halfway, chronologically, between John Paye and Heneghan who also put up huge numbers. But they were against very weak schedule, like Bay 6 not PAL — school of the deaf, and the like. He was also a Dartmouth recruit but not much of a factor at the next level. Or maybe only his receiver went to Dartmouth. Tony Fenwick and Beau Brown, two of “John-John’s” leading targets since pee wee days, and hoopsters for a Menlo team that won 20 straight or so, were classmates of mine at Dartmouth, where I was sports editor of the daily. Beau lettered in football, as a DB, whereas Tony ended up in crew not football or basketball.
And — I have to repeat this for emphasis — John Paye was named Athlete of the Year as a Junior by the local media — over Jim Harbaugh a 3-sport star for Paly. Paye who played football and basketball for Stanford and a Super Bowl ring for 49ers (backing both Steve Young and Joe Montana that year). And Chris Strausser, Gunn’s quarterback that year and maybe top 10 in the Peninsula — there was also a John Capuzelo of Carlmont who could bring it — I saw last night and shouted and waived and he waived back– as the Colts O-line coach. Honorable mention to Gunn’s crafty James Lambert who ran for 234 yards and three scores and previously unbeaten Cupertino.

I guess Lambert is more of a Snake, ala Ken Stabler, who allegedly got his nickname based on one long run for Alabama, than a bomber. I forget the name of the play but for one of his three TDS, Lambert faked a hand off or two, or faked a pitch, turned his back to the play, to the opponents, stood still for a beat until people were lunging and surging after either of his fakes, then came alive, ran around the end and traversed the field laterally and north-south, to make paydirt. Something like Steve Young against the Vikes, but also Bourne giving directions to a man to avoid capture at the mall, or who’s the Hong Kong stunt man hero who is athletic and funny? Or a Road Runner saying “meep meep” at the precise time to freak out not-too-wiley Coyote. Fuckin’ brilliant. His dad is head librarian in SF but rumour has it will replace Ed Shikada as City Manager here.

And Remi Wolf is in Paste with a 7.0 and the lead pick in the Pink about Outside lands. Rumor has it. I think its a lyric. Gunn has Fremont this week to sew up a playoff berth; Fremont has two huge backs that will try to take them “Furthur”.

Fremont has two bus-sized backs
