Alumni report

Freshman Jamie Dale, a graduate of Steele Canyon High, has made an impact for the football team at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City, S.D. – and not as a geologist. Dale is a sports medicine major. The 5-foot-9, 165-pound Dale is the leading rusher (109.5 yards per game) and top scorer (16 points per game) in the eight-member Dakota Athletic Conference two games into the season.

Another Steele Canyon alum, Arlin Taylor, a 5-foot-9, 175-pound sophomore cornerback at Willamette University in Salem, Ore., has helped the Bearcats to a 2-0 start. Taylor has two fumble recoveries, an interception and 11 tackles. He made 32 tackles in 10 games as a freshman.

Poway High graduate Donnie McKillop of Middlebury College was named the New England Small College Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week. The sophomore completed 27 of 31 passes for 344 yards, both career highs, in the Panthers' 42-28 win over Bowdoin. McKillop, the league's 2007 Rookie of the Year, ran for 34 yards and tossed a 10-yard touchdown pass.

Former La Jolla High standout Grayson Moyer, who graduated from Humboldt State last spring, signed to play with the Alaska Dream of the American Basketball Association.
