Football: JSerra is ready with more trick plays

Jim Hartigan hardly resembles someone you’d guess has a football playbook loaded with trick plays.

But the JSerra head coach will surprise you at any time. Last week against Los Alamitos, the Lions twice scored touchdowns on trick plays that featured receiver/backup QB Riley O’Brien throwing touchdown passes to starting quarterback Matt Robinson.

“You’re going to see more,” Hartigan promised. “We haven’t shown a lot of them. We have multiple trick plays ready to go.”

It helps to have versatile plays like Robinson and O’Brien.

“Both can throw, both can run,” Hartigan said.

So with the Trinity League beginning next week, beware. The Lions could be working on more trick plays during their bye week.
