Sports Briefs

Bob Berry Field

Willow Glen will re-dedicate its football complex in the name of the late, great Rams head varsity football coach, Bob Berry.

The dedication is scheduled for Oct. 24, between the frosh-soph and varsity football games. Willow Glen is hoping that many of Berry's former players will return for the ceremonies, which should begin at about 1 p.m.
