Football: Servite receives ultimate compliment

Bob Ladouceur, in his 32nd season as football coach at Concord De La Salle, said earlier this week about his Saturday opponent, Anaheim Servite, ‘I’m trying to look for a weak spot and I can’t find one.’

And on Servite’s Troy Thomas, ‘Troy Thomas has done a great job. He brought that program up. They’re legit.’

So that’s the setup in the CIF state championship Open Division bowl game at the Home Depot Center. Servite is 14-0, De La Salle is 13-0.

Thomas is equally impressed with the Spartans, saying, ‘They’re so good.’

It’s two well-coached Catholic schools ready to put on a show.
