Did you know?

That Palomar alum Tom Dempsey, who set an NFL record when his 63-yard field goal gave the New Orleans Saints a last second-win over the Detroit Lions back in 1970, was much more than just a kicker for the Comets. He also started on the defensive line, was a conference heavyweight wrestling champion and threw the discus. TO READ CBS SPORTSLINE'S DESCRIPTION OF DEMPSEY'S NFL CAREER ...

PALOMAR COLLEGE: Obituary

fred huber

Dr. Fred Huber, who died on June 22 at the age of 94, is remembered as a strong advocate of athletics during a 13-year stint as Palomar's President.

Dr. Huber is remembered as

athletics advocate at Palomar

SAN MARCOS (7-3-09) -- When Dr. Fred Huber arrived at Palomar College as the institution's new President in August 1964, future NFL kicking great Tom Dempsey was a defensive lineman / kicker on the college's football team, conference heavyweight champion in wrestling and a discus thrower on the track & field team.

When Dr. Huber retired from Palomar, on June 30, 1977, Comet golfer Mark Wiebe, who would go on to play for 22 years on the PGA Tour, had just won the California Community College individual title and the 64th California Amateur Championship.

In between, Dr. Huber was a staunch and vocal advocate of Palomar's growing intercollegiate athletic program.

"His dedication and commitment to educational excellence is a legacy to the campus and the community," current Palomar President Bob Deegan said of Dr. Huber, who died at the age of 94 on June 22 in Santa Ana.

Dr. Huber held a strong belief that intercollegiate athletics were an integral part of the educational process that President Deegan was referring to.

Dr. Huber was a member of the crew team at UCLA, from where he received his Bachelor's degree in 1937. He received his Master's and Doctoral degrees from USC. He taught at Santa Ana High School, was the first-ever Dean of Men at Orange Coast College and served as Superintendent/President at both Palo Verde College and Monterey Peninsula College prior to his arrival at Palomar as its fifth Superintendent/President

He served in the U.S. Army during World War II and was a retired Colonel in the Army Reserves.

He was retired and living in Temecula at the time of his death.

During his tenure at Palomar, when the college more than doubled in size, the Comets also more than doubled the size of their intercollegiate athletic program, hired Hall of Fame softball coach Mark Eldridge and Hall of Fame wrestling coach John Woods -- and began their women's athletics program.

The final two athletic events in Dr. Huber's tenure at Palomar resulted in California community college championships  -- Wiebe's state individual golf title and the Palomar men's track squad's 1977 state team championship.

Dr. Huber's family has suggested donations to UCLA Community College Transfer Scholarship Fund in care of UCLA Giving, Attention Sarah Ward; Wilshire Center, Box 951590, Suite 1400; Los Angeles, CA 90095.

Esquibel, a 6-foot-1, 215-pound right-hander drafted by the Mariners in 2008 out of the University of Kansas, retired the Reno Aces 1-2-3 in the ninth inning. The Mariners promoted Esquibel when they placed Hernandez on the seven-day disabled list.

Webb in Northwoods League,

mulls choice for 2010 season

MANKATO, Minnesota / Other Locations (6-30-09) -- Palomar's Brenden Webb, a 2009 first-team All-American center fielder as a freshman, is batting .333 in the Northwoods League this summer -- and mulling his future.

The 6-foot-4, 180-pounder, who both bats and throws from the left side, is playing for the Mankato MoonDogs.

Webb has scholarship offers on the table from USC and Oklahoma State, and a healthy bonus offer on the table from the Baltimore Orioles, who selected him in the 2009 draft. He has turned down a scholarship offer from the University of Oregon -- and also could return to Palomar for his sophomore season.

Webb drove in a run with a sacrifice fly to help the Moondogs clinch the first-half title in the college wood-bat summer league on Monday with a 6-3 win on the road over the Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Express. He went 2-for-3 with a triple on Sunday in an 8-7 win over the Alexandria (Minnesota) Beetles.

Also among the contingent of Comets playing summer wood-bat ball, first-team All-American Tyler Saladino (who has signed with Oral Roberts University and was drafted by the Astros) is hitting .313 while helping lead the Palm Springs Power of the Southern California Baseball Association to 19 wins in its first 24 games. He has seven hits in his last four games -- 2-for 5 with an RBI vs. the MLB Academy Barons of Compton; a triple in a 6-5 win over the MLB Academy; 2-for-3 with a triple, three walks and four runs scored in a 19-0 victory over the Orange County Pioneers; and 2-for-4 with an RBI in a 5-0 win over the Pioneers.

Returning right-handed pitcher Patrick Smith is 4-0 with a 2.45 ERA for the Wenatchee (Washington) Applesox of the West Coast League.

Returning right-handed pitcher Travis Strong is 1-0 with three saves and a 3.00 ERA for the San Diego Mavericks.

Right-handed pitcher Brock Bracamontes has struck out 11 batters in 16 innings for the Folsom Pioneers of the West Coast Collegiate Baseball League.

First baseman Alfonso Casillas, middle infielder Terrence Buchanan, first-team All-American right-handed pitcher Casey Edlebrock and right-handed pitcher Aaron Edwards all are playing for the San Diego Waves. Casillas, a first-team All-American, and Buchanan both will return next season. Edelbrock, who has signed with Chico State, and Edwards both were sophomores for the Comets.

FAYETTEVILLE, Arkansas (6-16-09) / ELLENSBURG, Washington (6-21-09) -- Palomar's 6-foot-3, 240-pound defensive end Caleb Evans has committed to the University of Arkansas.

Meanwhile, defensive end Braxton Brennan signed with Division II powerhouse Central Washington, which is coming off a 10-2 season.

Evans had 26 tackles (14 solo) for Palomar as a true freshman in 2007, receiving All-Mission Conference American Division honorable mention and drawing attention as a big-play D-lineman. He led the Comets in tackles for losses (11 for 42 yards in 10 games), sacks (six for 44 yards) and quarterback hurries (eight).

Prior to what would have been his sophomore season for the Comets last Fall, Evans was a pre-season J.C. Grid-Wire second-team All-American and received early offers from Kansas, Tennessee and Kansas State for 2010. But he wound up missing the entire 2008 season with a now-healed back injury.

Depending on results of summer classes, Evans will either transfer to Arkansas in August and play for the Razorbacks this Fall -- or will return to play his sophomore season for the Comets before transferring to Arkansas.

Brennan (6-foot-3, 240) is headed to a Central Washington program that was ranked No. 10 in NCAA Division II in 2008. The Wildcats lost in the Division II national playoffs at West Texas A&M 49-42.

In two seasons for the Comets, Brennan had 40 tackles (33 solo), nine tackles for losses, 1.5 sacks and three blocked kicks, playing in 17 games. As a sophomore last fall, he had 33 tackles (21 solo), four tackles for losses, .5 sacks, three QB hurries and one blocked kick in 10 games.

Lorenzen impresses early on

at tight end for Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Florida (6-7-09) -- Palomar's 2006 J.C. Grid-Wire All-American quarterback Tyler Lorenzen is already turning some heads as he tries to make the Jacksonville Jaguars roster as a free agent tight end.

"I'm very pleased with Tyler's progress so far," Jaguars assistant head coach / tight ends coach Mike Tice told the Hartford Courant on Thursday during a Jaguars' mini-camp.

"He definitely has athletic ability and tools to work with. I just told the guys this morning in the (coaches') meeting that Tyler has made the most strikes of anybody (among tight ends)." The 6-foot-5, 229-pound Lorenzen started at QB the last two seasons for the University of Connecticut.

"All I wanted to do was get my foot in the door, get a chance and try to extend my football career as long as I could," Lorenzen told the Courant. It's been fun lining up at tight end. I'd line up wherever they wanted, to tell the truth. I'm just thankful for the opportunity."
