appreciation of and respect for our sensitive ocean environment?”

Coaches picked for North/South prep grid game

Rick Curtis and Greg Gibson have been selected to serve as head

coaches for the 45th annual Brea Lions Club Orange County North/South

Prep All-Star Football Game.

The game will be played July 16 at Santa Ana Municipal Stadium.

Curtis has led Northwood High to three straight Pacific Coast

League championships, a 15-game span in which the Timberwolves did

not lose a single league game.

Northwood is a Pacific Coast League rival of Laguna Beach.

Gibson, meanwhile, has coached at Orange High the past three

years.

He inherited a program that had gone 1-29 the three previous years

but under Gibson, the Panthers have gone 20-14 and have won a league

championship and reached the Division VII semifinals last fall.
