Alumni football For most high school players, there's no football after high school. Oh, there's the occasional pick-up game in the park, or maybe a flag football league. But full-contact tackle football for most players ends with the final game of that senior season. There are some players, though, who aren't quite ready to see those days of tackle football end. And they plan to do something about it. The group is looking for former Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino, Leigh, Monta Vista and Homestead high school football players to play in full-contact alumni games at San Jose PAL Stadium. For more information, call 831/464-0738.
