MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF ATHLETICS AT HARVARD-WESTLAKE SCHOOL
August 2014
Welcome to Harvard-Westlake Football!
New is the theme this season – new helmets, new league and a new CIF division. After four years in the Mission League, we have now moved to the newly formed Angelus League in the CIF Southeast Division. The Angelus League includes some familiar foes (St. Francis, St. Paul and Cathedral) as well as new rivals (Salesian and La Salle). While the outcome remains to be seen, what we know for sure is that the new league is competitive from top to bottom and our Wolverines are in the perfect position to have an excellent year.
Our team is led by 26 seniors, including co-captains Hassan Smith, Desmond Butler, Albert Choi and Garrett Robinson. We will rely on their leadership as we navigate a challenging non-league schedule that includes the annual match-ups against rivals Loyola and Palisades. Homecoming will be early this year (September 27), as we welcome the Westchester Comets to Ted Slavin Field. Our series with Granada Hills High School has been renewed for two more years and we add Taft High School to the schedule as we prepare for league play.
Our success this year will hinge on our ability to play well in October and November. It is during this time that the competition for playoff positions heats up. Three of our five league games will be played at home, an advantage that our fans can improve by being loud and proud! We have all of the elements needed for a great season and it should be a fun ride.
None of this would be possible without the help of the faculty, staff, family and friends that support Wolverine Football throughout the year. When we have success this year, we hope you take pride in the role you played that helped make it happen. Thank you for your support and go Wolverines!
Terence Barnum Head of Athletics
