Staff writer Jay Paris got mauled at the malls in Friday's crush but still managed to snatch a few goodies for some buddies. Here's the rundown of sports personas this Santa will be visiting as the holidays approach.

5. Coaches Brown and Carroll

At this coaches' corner, we salute both men with new duds for the upcoming Qualcomm Stadium finals. Darrin Brown is trying to direct La Costa Canyon High to a second straight CIF San Diego Section Division I title, while Oceanside's John Carroll is proving that not every coach named Carroll is having a bad season.

1. Tiger Woods
