Palmer Ridge QB Derek Hester evolved from super soph to sensational senior

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:27:17 GMT

FORT COLLINS — Derek Hester was a super sophomore: 2,345 yards passing with a 67.1 completion percentage and 25 touchdowns.But to hear the Palmer Ridge quarterback tell it, he was lost.“I didn’t know blocking schemes and I didn’t know coverages my sophomore year,” Hester said Tuesday. “I was just out there. I was a robot, pretty much. I just did what I was told. I mean, I didn’t have the freedom to make play calls or change things at the line. Even if I knew the play was going to get blown up — with a guy blitzing or whatever — I didn’t know how to change it.“And my arm strength wasn’t there and I couldn’t throw nearly as far. I’ve grown a lot as a quarterback and a person since then. It’s night and day.”Saturday, the senior has one final chance to illustrate how much he’s grown when the undefeated and top-ranked Bears (13-0) take on No. 2 Erie (12-1) in the Class 4A state championship game at ...

Residents of Malibu are being urged to prepare for the potential impacts of El Niño this winter.El Niño is the temporary warming of the eastern Pacific Ocean near the equator, which experts say is occurring now and is likely to produce above-average rainfall in Southern California.  When the ocean water rises 1.5 degrees Celsius above normal, that’s considered a strong El Niño. El Ninos are far costlier than once thought, in the trillions, study says — and one’s brewing now “It does appear as though this 2023 is going to come pretty close to that if not exceed that,” Ben Reppert, a meteorology professor at Penn State University, recently told KTLA.In the past, these conditions have produced periods of heavy rainfall that trigger mudslides, flooding and debris flow, both along the coast and inland.Ocean water temperatures show El Niño conditions developing along the Pacific Ocean near the equator.
