Ayala High School may get to use its own stadium for varsity football games this season, at least if Ayala's Stadium Foundation and athletic director Steve Martin have any say in it. The reasoning goes, if the community gets used to football games at Ayala, instead of Chino, where games had been played, approval for funding permanent bleachers is more likely. The field already has lights and a scoreboard. There's a golf tournament coming up that gives Don Lugo supporters the opportunity to give in many ways. Former Ram Reggie Doss and former major-leaguers Clyde Wright, Tommy Davis, Derrel Thomas, Ellis Valentine and Chris Gwynn are among the celebrities scheduled to participate.
Participants can choose one of several beneficiaries.
They can choose any sport at Don Lugo for the money to go towards, or the Danny Stowell Scholarship fund. Danny Stowell was the son of Jane Stowell, Don Lugo's athletic secretary. Danny was a 1987 graduate of Don Lugo, a football and baseball player who was at Citrus College when he was killed in a boating accident. Jane wanted to start a scholarship fun in her son's name, and teamed up with the Don Lugo's boosters to start the golf tournament. 4774 for more information.
