Berkeley High QB still  

up for grabs? 

Although Berkeley High head coach Matt Bissell said he hasn’t decided on a starting quarterback for Friday’s season opener against Liberty High, a source close to the team said junior Jeff Spellman will get the nod over junior Foster Goree. 

Bissell insisted on Wednesday that he and offensive coordinator Clarence Johnson won’t make a final decision until after Thursday’s practice. But the source said Spellman, a transfer from Bishop O’Dowd High in Oakland, will be behind center when the Yellowjackets kick off against Liberty.
