VALLEY / VENTURA COUNTY SPORTS : HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

“We lost a lot of ballgames in the fourth quarter last year, when guys just ran out of gas,” second-year Coach Mark Bitetti said.

The Tornadoes, who have lost 17 consecutive games and 26 of 27, will try to end that streak Friday night against Monroe in their season opener at Glendale High.
