On Saturday, February 11, USC and Coach Lane Kiffin held its Junior Day, a group unofficial visit where over 100 of the West's top football prospects attended. Junior days typically include meetings with position coaches, coordinators, strength coaches, nutrition staff and academic advisers. The visitors take campus tours and/or attend a basketball game -- and might even participate in some serious football discussion. One of those prospects was Canyon’s very own Lose Moala, and below is his story.
My trip to University of Southern California’s Junior Day was a great learning experience. First we started off with a PowerPoint Presentation from Coach Lane Kiffin himself on the great histories of the greatest players that participated in USC's football program, and how they left their legacy behind. After that segment, we were introduced to the coaching staff. Then, we took a small tour of their weight room, team room, and Heritage Hall. They explained to us how important football is to their school. One thing, their strength and conditioning coach asked was "How many people work out?" and every junior raised their hand. Then the coached laughed and said, "See that's where you're all wrong, we don't work out, we train here at USC". Some people didn't get the message so he explained, that working out is doing what you want do, but training is doing what has to be done. That really inspired me to do what needs to be done to make me a better athlete, and not what "I" want to do. People around the nation might believe that USC is just a college for football fanatics, but that's where they're wrong. The athletic director Pat Haden repeated to us that it's called "College" Football not football college, this saying, told us that not only that they are serious about football, but they care more about you, getting your degree. These coaches gave us a lecture on how to get into the college and it opened my mind on how important an education is, and it changed my views on school. I learned a lot on this trip, not just about football but also about life. And I am thankful for the opportunity to attend Junior Day at a great University like USC. It really showed me that the coaches don't only care for their athletes performing their best on the field, but also in class!

On Thursday, November 10, 2011, 23 young men from Canyon High School played in their final high school football game. Before the game, they were given a tribute. We would like to wish all these young men the best of luck in the future, we hope they will always remember and cherish their days representing Canyon on the football field, and most of all, always remember, 'Once a Comanche, Always a Comanche"!
