Lake Balboa Birmingham football players were lined up Saturday night to receive their City Section Open Division championship trophy at Valley College. Amid the celebration, it was a challenge trying to find the kid wearing No. 26 who bulldozed his way for 292 yards rushing and four touchdowns in a 49-13 rout of Garfield. A teammate finally found him. My first question was very simple: Where did you come from? 'I kind of came out of the blue,' he said. Naiim Morgan wasn't kidding. He showed up before the football season began having moved from Las Vegas.
