Servite plays waiting game for top player

It’s the fifth consecutive game in which Anaheim Servite will be without its No. 1 lineman, Kirifi Leuta-Taula, who is recovering from a broken arm.

‘It’s healing,’ is all Coach Troy Thomas will say about whether Leuta-Taula will be able to return before the playoffs are completed.

He was a dominant player the last time Long Beach Poly and Servite met in the season opener, so his presence will be missed tonight at Veterans Stadium.

But Servite has found others to fill in, and that’s pretty impressive.
