Playing in how many all-star football games is enough/too many?
Nine area football players are scheduled to participate in the Hall of
Fame game that will be played Friday, June 27 at Bassett High School.
For two of them, it will be their second all-star game in three weeks.
And two them have indicated they may participate in the LA Army Fiesta
Bowl scheduled June 28 at Los Angeles Wilson High School.
It is a rugged schedule, indeed. Not many bodies are in football
condition at this time of the year, which makes them more susceptible to
injury.
The locals in the Hall of Fame game are California center Chris Burns
(listed on the roster at guard) and guard Jose Castellon, and Pioneer
linebacker Andre Ortega, who will be playing for the East Squad, and
Schurr DB/WR Alex Valdez, DB Raul Pintaro and RB/WB Rudy Jordan (yes, he
played for La Serna last fall), Cantwell FB/LB Deonta Woodward, El
Rancho two-way lineman Travis Shaefer and Montebello two-way lineman
Vicente Torres, who are members of the West Squad.
Realizing the amount of time between games is the most important
factor, should one off-season all-star game enough, or is asking one's
self to play in two, perhaps even three games no big deal?
Bluntly, there are too many games. The only All Star game of any significance was the Shrine game. I played in the inaugural Hall of Fame game in 1980. Everything else was second fiddle to the Shrine game being played in the Rose Bowl.
Way too many all-star games. To be blunt, 90% of these players are not all stars. Back in the day the only games that mattered were the 605 and the Shrine game. Who sponsors these games? Waste of money.
Goes to you show how stupid people are! Rudy Jordan playing as a Schurr player?
Hall of Fame game officials should wake up. Jordan should be a Lancer rep in the game. It also shows you that the Schurr leadership and Mr. Jordan are wrapped up in each others hands.
I guess just another day in high sports administration stupidity....
