"It's taking your guys, a group of kids every year, and shaping them, developing them, on and off the field. While ultimately helping them live out their dreams on the football field. All of this while they are navigating growing up. It's everything and more, way more, than I could have ever imagined it being. I am very grateful, to say the least, and also very proud."
"Hard workers and very fast,"
Angelo Gasca, in his 36th season, emphasizes defense at Venice High while historically known for quarterbacks and passing. The team improved to 2-1 after a 17-3 victory over Harvard-Westlake. Defensive standouts include Jon Sharp (six tackles for loss), Donner Livingston (11 tackles), and Donte Ross (two interceptions), with contributions from Joseph Iwunze, Nicholas Stratman, Will Oeser, Joshua Aaron and Hector Lopez. Defensive coordinator Iggy Porchia, a Venice graduate, leads a unit that positions Venice as a Western League title contender. Most defensive players maintain GPAs of 3.5 or higher, combining intelligence, speed and strong work ethic. Venice plays at Norwalk on Friday night.
