Prior to Being Ruled Ineligible, Taft Transfer Bercovici Claimed Move Was For Family, Not Athletic Reasons
Found this little blurb from Wednesday, where the young Bercovici claimed his transfer was not athletically motivated:
Michael Bercovici, a promising junior quarterback who was an effective backup at Westlake, said family reasons is why he abruptly moved to Woodland Hills and transferred to Taft on Monday.
“It was a family move for family reasons,” said Bercovici, who did not elaborate further.
As of Wednesday, Bercovici is Taft’s No. 3 quarterback behind three-year starter Bam Goodall and backup Nate Forer, but Taft coach Matt Kerstetter conceded Bercovici could make up ground quickly depending on how quickly he learns Taft’s no-huddle offense. there is also a plan for Bercovici to take “about four snaps” on Friday against host Serra of Gardena.

However, it would appear the junior is not a very good salesman, since as we reported he was at least temporarily declared ineligible. Maybe he also has a used Ford Pinto he’d like to sell us?
It’s definitely one thing if the kids family had some legitimate, sudden, emergency reason to make a 1 day decision to spontaneously move to an apartment next to Taft in Woodland Hills. And, I don’t mean to rain on some teenage kid’s parade. But, folks, if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, you put an orange glaze on it and eat it for dinner.
