Blast From the Past on FSN
Was flipping through channels Saturday morning when I came across a blast from the past on Fox Sports Net 2, Saturday at 11 a.m.
It was a Fox Sports "High School Football Game of the Week" replay of the 2003 Mission League showdown between Sherman Oaks Notre Dame and St. Paul at Monsignor Cranham Stadium.
That was a contest that featured prominent stars like St. Paul's D.J. Tardy (Washington State) and Notre Dames' Garrett Green and Cary Harris (both at USC).
Another blast from the past was linebacker/fullback Matthew Parent, who scored St. Paul's first touchdown of the game and also led the team in tackles. Parent is currently a junior at the University of New Hampshire and is a starting linebacker for the Wildcats.
For those who have forgotten, St. Paul trailed 21-13 at the 1:20 mark in the fourth before rallying for a 24-21 victory, in their biggest upset win of the season. Kicker Randall Reynoso sealed the game after a Knights' muffed kick return by nailing a 47-yard field goal with 18 seconds left.
The Swordsmen finished off the 2003 campaign Mission League champions at 10-3 with one of their two regular-season losses against Long Beach Poly (47-14).
St. Paul was eliminated in the semifinals of the D-III playoffs by Palmdale, 14-6. The Mission League title was the final in the brilliant career of St. Paul coach Marijon Ancich.

what a brutal blog. Literally ZERO comments. What a big success and great idea it was to form this.

I think you have some good things on your blog, but nobody knows you have a blog. On the paper there's rogers blog, on the front page of this sports prep (top right corner) I see roger's blog and what he's writing about. It all comes down to nobody knows you have a blog.
