This past Saturday was a morning full of position based drills at the illustrious Blitz Football field, home of the footwork extraordinaire himself Rischad Whitfield (Footwork King). Whitfield attracted a nice group of athletes out to get some fine-tuning before two-a-days began for high school football programs.
Cypress Springs standout defensive back Myles Mass was a prominent name that came out to get some extra work. Doing whatever it takes to elevate his game is what Mass prides himself on. Working with Whitfield and his training staff has helped Mass perfect his technique and overall game.
“As a (defensive back) you want to work on your craft always,” Mass said. “That’s always number one for me, working on my craft and becoming a better DB, not only for me but for my team.”

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
