Redell could get last laugh at his roast
trick Allen, a strong safety at Pierce College by way of Eagle Rock High, has accepted a football scholarship to Midwestern State, an NCAA Div. II school.
"He's a hard-working kid and a tremendous athlete," Pierce coach Efrain Martinez said. "He came to Pierce looking for an opportunity to move on, and he got what he came for."

Ex-ACU lineman still waiting for call from pros
Tony Washington watched the NFL draft for three days, waiting for his name to be called.
It never happened.
The two-time NCAA Division II All-American at Abilene Christian offensive tackle at least expected the phone to ring soon after the draft, with an NFL team ready to offer him a free-agent deal. As of Tuesday, that call had yet to come.
Washington was diplomatic about the lack of interest. Well, at least at first.
"I understand, though," he said. "Some things people can't let go, you know?"
Those things that people can't let go involve his past. In May 2003, when he was 16, Washington was convicted of having sex with his 15-year-old biological sister. He said the sex was consensual. Washington, who grew up in New Orleans, didn't serve any jail time but he received five years probation.
He has to register as a sex offender wherever he lives for the rest of his life.
Washington believes that decision as a 16-year-old is the only reason NFL teams shied away from him
"Yeah, I do believe that's what it's all about," he said. "But I can't do anything about it. I'm just sitting around waiting on a phone call."
It seems hard to believe the 6-foot-7, 305-pound Washington still is waiting for that phone to ring. He did well enough at the NFL combine that some folks were talking about him being a second-round pick. Now, nothing.
