Who&#8217;s going to cover us?&#8221; he wanted to know. Don&#8217;t worry Coach we still got you.<\/p>\n<p>Quarerback Andrew Elffers, who is receiving D-1 offers was impressive as usual but Eli Snyder, the back up also got in some reps. Troy French made a great catch of an Elffers bomb and Michael Cornell also played well at receiver. Maranatha is set at running back with Omar Younger but junior Baile McDavid is going to get the ball as well. Keep an eye on SS\/WR Reid Pike.<\/p>\n<p>Senior Jose Ledesma and Carlos Montiel were throwing the ball for Azusa.
