Cantwell's big O-line just got bigger
It wasn't as though Cantwell Sacred Heart of Mary football coach Pete
Smolin was starving for lack of size along his offensive line. Sure, the
Cardinals are going to be young up front, what with the marjority of the
folks up there being sophomores, but there are some good-sized fellas
among 'em.
Tuesday, the overall picture got bigger. Literally. And brighter.
Enter Andrew Rico, a 6-foot-6, 290-pound junior transfer from
Garfield High School. It would seem he could be the perfect fit to give
Smolin the other bookend to solidify the forward wall.
He will join a list of candidates Smolin is working with that
includes senior Jordan Scanlan (6-3, 325), junior Steven Sinde (5-11,
225) and sophomores Eric Weissenberger (6-1, 240), Eduardo Maldonado
96-4, 290), Steven Silva (6-2, 250) and Sal Marchena (6-0, 225). Also in
there is senior Juan Padilla (5-10, 230), who did not play last season.
Add Smolin's comment about this group: "The sophomores are bigger,
stronger and faster than the kids who graduated from last year."
Sounds like it could be a wakeup call for the rest of the Camino Real
League.
Come On. Ok let's all be real. Why would a kid leave a almost back to back 3A LA City Championship football team for Cantwell(DIV 99). What can you possibly have to offer that Garfield does not? I have checked with my sources and I here that Andrew is Big and lazy. Also I have seen the kid an it seems as he has never has been in the weight room. Most Garfield kids I know have some type of muscle definition, and let me report he has zero ounce of muscle. So, I doubt that he will be a factor. Please don't be shocked when he gets beat out for a starting spot. Well for now that is all she wrote.
Thank You and enjoy,
The G MAN
Doubt it, nothing against Cantwell they may be big but are still the slowest o and d lines in the area. Scanlan is big but the slowest lineman I have ever seen. I hope Cantwell does well but I am really doubtful considering their oline.
I AGREE WITH R CHAVEZ, OUR TOP RUNNING BACK LOERA, GOT HURT IN THE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON. HE WAS COMING OFF A 1400+ SOPHOMORE SEASON, IF HE IS 100%, WOW!, CANTWELL COULD BE LEAGUE CHAMPS AND MAYBE GO DEEPER IN THE PLAYOFFS!
IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT THE CARDINALS MADE THE PLAYOFFS LAST YEAR WITHOUT A RUNNING GAME, THEY ARE A YOUNGER, STRONGER MORE COMPLETE TEAM THIS YEAR. GO CARDINALS!!
