More than 90 minutes before Saturday night's Division 3-A regional football bowl game at Lake Balboa Birmingham, Troy Leigber of Laguna Hills was in his own little world loosening up and breaking a sweat moving up and down the field by himself. It's what a senior with a 4.4 grade-point average and a distinguished work ethic does to prepare for what might be his final high school game.
