Carson to host North Valleys in playoff openerBy Darrell Moody Carson High will get its second look of the season at North Valleys on Friday night in the first round of the 4A regional football playoffs.Carson (8-2 overall) easily handled North Valleys in a preseason scrimmage, and Senators' head coach Blair Roman said that the Panthers (6-3) are much improved.Roman said his secondary of Josh Peacock, Colby Blueberg and Dylan Sawyers will be tested by North Valleys quarterback Tim Herman, who passed for 1.958 yards and nine scores."Their quarterback has thrown for nearly 2,000 yards," Roman said. "They will throw it a lot. I expect they will throw 40 to 50 times against us."Carson's ability to get off to fast starts has forced many of its opponents to pass more than they would like.Carson hasn't hosted a playoff game since the late 1990s, and it will be interesting to see how the team reacts. Roman brought the Senators from 3-7 to 8-2 and a league title in two years."We'll see (if they are nervous),"
