Gardena Serra Coach Scott Altenberg, a UCLA grad, was texting his former players, USC receivers Robert Woods and Marqise Lee, all week prior to Saturday’s game against the Bruins.

‘I told them to take it easy on my Bruins,’ Altenberg said. ‘You only have so much reach after they leave.’

Woods and Lee put on a show in a 50-0 win.

It raises the question: How did Serra ever lose a game with Woods, Lee and George Farmer, a USC freshman, on the same team?

In fact, Serra went 15-0 in 2009.

‘We were that good,’ Altenberg said.

As for Woods, a sophomore, and Lee, a freshman, Altenberg said, ‘They are amazing kids and they are very humble and they want each other to do well.’
