Football: Former Colt might miss Rose Bowl
One of the reasons former Cottonwood High star running back Stanley Havili listed when he chose USC over BYU a few years ago was his desire to play in the Rose Bowl.
The Trojans will play Penn State in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, but Havili might not get to play in the big game.
According to various reports, the fullback's status for the Rose Bowl is uncertain due to academic issues and an ankle injury.
The Trojans have been practicing with tight end Rhett Ellison in the backfield in case Havili can't play, and Ellison lined up at fullback against UCLA earlier this month.
Freshman D.J. Shoemate is also in the running to be the starter in Havili's absence.

Brandon Gurney of totalbluesports.com is reporting that BYU is interested in Bijon Samoodi, a defensive back from Servite High School in Anaheim, Calif.
The 5-foot-8, 170-pound cornerback had three interceptions last season and his college recruitment has started to pick up lately. He has offers from Montana State and Stony Brook, but has scheduled visits to BYU (Jan. 9) and SMU (Jan. 23), according to Gurney.

Bummer for Havili. He's a big part of that offense. Good luck to him - he's been a lot of fun to watch down there.
