Come on BIG OSO. After 15 years all of a sudden the "staff" is going to make major changes. "Old Dogs have a hard time learning new tricks"!!! I guess you heard plenty of "talk". "Talk" "Talk" ! ! How do you know hundreds of parents have not heard that "Talk" before.

I obviously enjoy our debate, and am very glad to hear of Whittier High School's academic improvement. But I heard Coach Scott is not a teacher on Whittier's staff. If that is true he has "nothing" to do with Whittier's improvement academically (If you are correct about that: because I question your credibility. But I hope you are right). That is the teachers and that principal they hired a few years ago.

Read the article by Roger in wednesday's paper on La Mirada

Read the article by Roger Murray on La Mirada Football. How the 2 to 3 year OK program was changed into a "very good" program. SOME TALK THE TALK AND WALK THE WALK. AT WHITTIER FOOTBALL IT APPEARS THEY "TALK THE TALK, BUT DO NOT WALK THE WALK"

"Apples, oranges, coconuts, and whatever else you come up with does not help the Football players at Whittier achieve "higher learning skills" on the field. Sports can teach kids plenty that cannot be taught in a classroom.

I will fully support you on one thing: I have heard Coach Scott is a heck of a guy. But how can one "hang on" so long and not believe in "a change might be better for the students?"

You see it all the time: new coach; new ideas; new results

Big Oso said:

To Sports Fan Original, of course there are coaching vacancies across the state of California. I do not deny that. Your list is a very good example of that. However we must compare Apples to Apples and Oranges to Oranges. The many coaching changes you listed, name one where the Coach was fired for not winning? Some of those Vacancies you have listed, the coach was fired because of conduct detrimental to the schools integrity but never for wins or losses! Most of those changes you list the Coach left to a better situation! Now, don't get me wrong there may be instances of coaches getting fired for lack of wins. I do believe in those cases you are dealing with private schools with deep pocket Alumni and Boosters. However, this is not the case with Whittier Football.

You ask me what is wrong with change? I do not mind change when it is warranted. Please forgive me if I do not share in your enthusiasm to fire Coach Scott! I did not send my son to Whittier because of the football program. I sent my son to Whittier for a accumulation of things, mostly for Academic reasons.

I gained a tremendous amount of respect for the Whittier Administration and the direction they are taking the school! My wife and I were going to take advantage of the freshman open enrollment and send our son to Cal. When the paper work was finalized we received a phone call from Whittier wanting to talk to us about changing our minds. Whittier was impressive! Over the last few years they have taken tremendous strides in improving their test scores and sending their students to college. They walked us around the campus showing us the campus upgrades and introducing us to heads of departments. It was explained to us with enthusiasm the many new ideas that were going to create a new Whittier High. Part of that positive enthusiasm was coach Scott! My wife and I left feeling very positive about Whittier High. We felt they had our son's best interest in mind. It didn't take long for us to decide that Whittier was the place for our son!

As for Coach Scott. After meeting the man, he left me with a good impression. He was very excited about the freshman class coming in because it was the biggest class in many years. Most impressive was that he reinforced academics and explained he has grade checks every week for his players and mandatory study halls for those that are falling behind. He realized that most kids wont play in college and he needed them to be successful in the class room so they can go to college as students. We left feeling that Coach Scott would be a very positive influence on our son while he was at Whittier.

It is apparent that I won't change your mind about coach Scott. That’s fine. I just want other parents to know that there are significant positive changes being made at Whittier and Coach Scott is apart of that! Go Cardinals!

Big Oso:

You seem to think you know a lot about the Education system. As I think I know some. I know what I have seen happen in the area. Texas is not the only place hiring coaches.

Let's look locally at schools that have hired head coaches lately (within the last 2 seasons).

Sunny Hills Football
Whittier Christian Football
La Mirada Football
Montebello Football
St. Paul Football
Hacienda Heights Wilson Football
La Habra Baseball
Santa Fe Baseball
Whittier High Baseball (4th coach in what...5 years?)
Whittier High Basketball
Pioneer Basketball
La Serna Basketball had a temporary coach for 2 seasons
Oh, and in the OC= Ancich's hiring at Villa Park (out of our local area)

There are probably even more in the local area. This is off the top of my head.
If we go back 3 or 4 years there will be many more "hirings" on the list.

Now we all can "see" that coaches are being hired all the time.

I am curious to see what you "scared of change" people will come up with in argument to what I have just stated. Facts please!!

OTHER WHITTIER PEOPLE: Boosters; light and heavy. You still have not commented on "What is Wrong With Change?"

What are you going to come up with now. Have a drink. Maybe that will give you the courage to answer.

And, Big Oso: not everyone coaches for the $$$$$!! (In response to your question: "who will coach for nothing?") Maybe they love the sport and like kids. Plenty of coaches are coaching for less than you mentioned. Assistant coaches for example. They do not make $3500.00 a season. They enjoy what they are doing. When I was at Cal Poly there were unpaid coaches coaching baseball. They love the game!! The competition.

"Who in their right mind would coach for that money?" (you wrote). Now I understand a little better where you are coming from. You never had the special feeling of loving to play the game. That is why you are so far off here, and continue, with your pals, to find reasons not to succeed instead of welcoming change like good schools do.

And maybe some coaches "feel better" when they are on a football field. Your "money debate" does not make it. Maybe at Whittier they do it for the money, thus not winning. But most Head coaches have played the heck out sports and when they cannot play any more, they coach. What is the situation at Whittier?


Sports Fan Original said:

Big Oso: Now you are starting to think like one who really does care!!! But, you have a few "good questions"!!

There are probably many who are looking for a "Head Football" job!!

It does not definitely have to be an "inside the WUHSD hire"!! Likely, but not definitely. How? Teachers are still being let go and other teachers are being hired!! Not many, but some. Now, let us take the possibility that Whittier may let some untenured, young teacher go because they are just not good teachers. Also, there are teachers to be just out of college that played college football and their goal is to be a Head High School Football Coach!!

Look particularly for a College football player. A guy, say like one who played for Whittier College (a good small school that produces good, quality, teachers) and is looking to be a Head Coach. They are out there. Just like there always has been.

Look for a first year teacher that has all the requirements you are looking for!! If there is a Math opening, then the guy needs a Math credential. I do not think that is as easy to find as a special ed or a social science guy, but there may be an opening in some department!!

I know a lot of coaches (mostly baseball guys, but some football) all over the San Gabriel Valley and a couple around here also. That is how they got hired. Of course most started at the lower levels but not all. If a guy played college football, then he has much more experience than the current guys who did not even go to college. College sports "prepare" the coach very well. Heck, they are coached by men with Master's Degrees that played college football. They have been through all the scientific preparation that good programs do.

Whether you realize it or not, coaches are being hired all the time. "CIF.org" lists the openings if you would like to look. Yes, I believe most must be "inside hires" but not all.

There are plenty of assistant coaches in the district that have worked very hard for quality coaches in the district. Under Malstede (yes he may have lost it, but for years he was pretty darn good, and maybe still is) or Arnold for example. Or under LaVigne or Juarez, both whom have had quality years when they had talent. Juarez, for example, in the late nineties.

IF THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY!! Maybe even one of Scott's assistants.

A business guy?? Maybe. Possible. Someone who works his own hours. There are those guys out there too.

Your questions are good, but do not assume that it cannot happen. IT CAN HAPPEN!!

A NEW DIRECTION IS NEEDED. IF WHITTIER FANS THAT REALLY WANT TO IMPROVE THE PROGRAM LOOK FOR ALL OF THE REASONS IT CANNOT HAPPEN, THEN IT NEVER WILL. NEW HEAD COACHES ARE BEING HIRED ALL THE TIME!!

I did not even mention teacher positions opening because of retirement. Move a teacher to another school to "create an opening"!! There are all kinds of possibilities if the administration wants it to happen.

SCHOOLS THAT WANT TO WIN===MAKE IT HAPPEN. WHITTIER MAY NOT WANT TO. BUT IF THEY DO==THEY HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH. IF IT HAS NOT HAPPENED BY NOW, IT WILL NOT.

IF WHITTIER BEGINS TO WIN BY A "CHANGED PROGRAM", THE BETTER STUDENT/ATHLETES WILL NOT LOOK ELSEWHERE. BUT YOU CANNOT BLAME A "WINNER" WHO GOES ELSEWHERE TO WIN. BECAUSE WHITTIER FOOTBALL DOES NOT. ONE SECOND PLACE WITH FITCH'S PLAYERS IS NOT ENOUGH. AND IT WAS LONG, LONG AGO

Big Oso said:

Ok, for the sake of argument, let's fire Coach Scott. Who do you hire as your new head coach? Now, remember it must be a current Whittier Union District Employee. Why do you ask? Your school district can't afford to hire new employees, it's not in the budget.How do I know, you ask? Well, they just gave your child Thanksgiving week off in lieu of laying off employees! Now, this may not suit your needs. So you want to give the job to an outsider. Let's just say a business man in the Whittier area that graduated from Whittier High, like yourself, wants change. Now, you tell yourself great! We have a new coach! Well your new coach is making approximately 3,500.00. That's right! How do I know this? Well public employees' salaries are public information. Call the district to confirm. Being a head football Coach is an extra addition to an employee's current salary. Who in their right mind will coach for nearly nothing. The time and effort put into being a head coach does not equate to 3,500.00. So finding a non district employee is out of the question.
This is not Texas...where the highest paid school district employee is usually the Head football coach making around 100,000.00 dollars, just for coaching football...where the Boosters can generate enough money to supplement their staff's salary to about 50,000.00 a year! You are lucky to have a head coach! Now, who is being real? Quit whining and come up with solutions. If you really love your Whittier program then get involved! Be part of the solution not the problem! Go Cardinals!

Sports Fan Original said:

Big Oso: excuses, excuses, excuses. WHAT IS WRONG WITH CHANGE? MAYBE SOMEBODY ELSE CAN WIN UNDER THE CONDITIONS YOU MENTION (NOT THAT YOUR "CONDITIONS" ARE CORRECT. YOU JUST DO NOT WANT CHANGE)!!!

Big Oso: tell me: what is wrong with change. THE BIGGEST RISK MAY BE NOT TAKING A RISK!!! Did you ever hear of that?

Maybe a more concientious coach will make sure he does not lose players to grades. Not that you are correct in saying that Whittier loses more players to grades than other schools. Who told you that Whittier loses more players than other schools. Coach Scott? Your son? Well if your son told you that, he heard it from one of the coaches. Excuses!!!!

What are you guys afraid of? What is wrong with change???? PLEASE ANSWER. 15 or so years!!

Whittier booster disquised as Cal Hi: Start drinking and give an answer to the question: What is wrong with change???? You will not answer because you have no clue!!

Big Oso said:

You know the truth hurts sometimes. Whittier struggles because they lose too many kids to grades from freshman to Varsity years. Also, District open enrollment is a contributing factor killing the Whittier Football program. Have you ever wondered why the top three schools in the area are always Santa Fe, Cal and La Serna? It's because these three schools are the best academic schools in the district. All three are California blue ribbon schools. Quite honestly parents take advantage of the freshmen open enrollment to send their children to these schools. Now, instead a bagging on your coach " Coach Scott" let's get to the root of the problem! Parents not reinforcing academics! Now, don't think I am a Whittier High hater because I am not. One of my boys goes here and I truly support the football program. I am just being honest!

Sports Fan Original said:

Happy Thanksgiving "Whittier Powers That Be"!!

No Answer Yet? That is what I thought!! You people already know who the next head coach is. You have POWER at WHS don't you?? Heavy and company?? I think so. Family and friends: you can stay out of this because you will not be objective!!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH CHANGE? A NEW DIRECTION? IF IT WAS A BUSINESS, AND THE BUSINESS WAS STAGNATING; FERMENTING; JUST "BEING" WITH NO REAL, TRUE ENERGY OF CONFIDENCE, CHANGE WOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE A LONG TIME AGO!!

That Freshmen league championship will not hold up under that "fermenting varsity program ran by those UNSCHOLARS"!! Dream on!!

Thank You for the reminder. I too saw a couple of games, years ago, when the Scotts were players. Scott right, Scott left, Scott up the middle. But that older Scott could play. If they just would have used the "team", they would have done better.

I can see that a few others have agreed Whittier will never win consistently (heck they have not been a second place team since Scott's first year; and they were Fitch's players) with the current "unscholarly staff".

But with Longo and her crew, and that old, skinny guy butting in, change will not be easy. Especially at a school that does not care about winning in football. Those boosters who already know who the next head coach is, have some control under this staff, and they may truly want to avoid change. They do not care about what is best, just "who is in charge". If status quo occurs, so does their "position of feeling important".

Another coach may not make them feel "as important as they think they are".

Whittier Alumni said:

Honestly your call for patience is false and maybe a complete lie. I lived on Comstock, now I live on Hadley off Whittier Bl. From my brothers, cousins and a long time family members who have lived in Whittier for more than a 108 years. Big Oso, try to help and be real. A coaching change is needed; Whittier will never win with Coach Scott.

Whittier said:

Big Oso it’s been more than15 years since Coach Scott has had a team that could contend. I remember his son, were young Scott got the ball on every play, that year we were bad to say the least. Coach Scott is a good lower level coach. How much patience should a parent have? The freshmen team won a share of the league title since the 70’s, Wow we need a little more than that.

Big Oso said:

Whittier High fans. Have patience, coach Scott has a very talented Freshman class coming up through the ranks. These kids are very talented. I can honestly say they have a very good Quarter back that has tremendous ability. I can see him moving up to Varsity as a Sophmore replacing his brother who has just finished his Senior year in football. Also the freshmen class has a tremendouse defense that for the most part has has shut down every opponent they have played. All facets of the defense are very very good. A solid Defensive line that already has 6 foot kids anchoring the line of scrimmage coupled with four shut down line backers that cause havoc! The Corners and safeties love to hit and fill in for run support. This defense is very aggressive already at a young age. So have patience.

sports fan original said:

Whittier Football boosters:

NO REPLY YET?!! That is what I figured. A new "good hire" might not think you are as important as you think you are.

Why did I say that? Because you already know the next Head Coach!!! That is why. Are you heavy? I think so.

Anonymous said:

hey sf people the reason why devillar did not long good against you guys is he does have oa torn acl. He is having surgery in a couple of week. To bad about the floers kid,yes his injury was worst,and i hope he getshis surgery and is able to play a sport at the next level.

not good sports fan original, i remember her&him from St.Paul who was your friend, she believe in you and though you had very good information. the drinking has to stop.

sports fan original said:

Whittier Staff lovers (heck with the students): I repeat myself because I am the only one who is trying to "counteract" you knuckleheads.

By the way. Please answer this. Please!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH CHANGE AFTER 15 OR SO STAGNANT SEASONS????

WHY NOT TRY A NEW IDEA? A NEW MIND? A NEW DIRECTOR?

LET'S SEE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!!!

sprts fan original said:

"whittier staff lovers" : most years, not just this year. Offensive Coordinator? Good. Give another a chance!! These are student athletes and they deserve a "change"! They deserve a chance (if they get good coaching) to show that they can play.

And, it is not a "Coach Scott" thing. It is that he has been there a very long time and the program has been "stagnant" for a very long time.

If it was a business, there would have been change many years ago. If it was a school that cared about winning, there would have been chance years ago!! It is not a "Coach Scott" thing. I do not even know the guy. It is a "too bad some coaches hang on forever and we really never get a chance to know if the school could play good football" thing!!

You are boosters, friends, or relatives and you are standing by your man. You should stand by relative and friend. But boosters: shame on you!!

CONDOR-O-LINE-DAD said:

Roger I hear that Michael Ball (QB) has been practicing with the Rowland High team this week and will play tonight. Is that true? If so, could he possibly be 100% after breaking his collarbone. Cal's defense has been explosive the last three games and they will plan on running him down all night. Coach Arnold let QB Adam throw the ball against La Serna. For those who don't know, Adam has a good arm and he is hungry to throw the ball. I doubt that Cal will come out with a one dimensional game tonight. But, whatever the game plan...Ignore the negatives, the Haters and the ignorant. Play hard CONDORS!!! GO CAL!!!

We get it! said:

Sports Fan Original: We all get it. You are on a one man mission to get rid of Coach Scott. We have listened to your rants for weeks now. If you hate him so much call the adminstration and voice your opinion to someone that can make a difference! Your not winning Coach Scott will be back again next year. And hey this is going to drive you really crazy! 95 percent chance the when Coach Scott retires the program will be turned over to the O-Coordinator. A guy who played and has coached under guess who? COACH SCOTT!! So you will probably 80 years old still complaining on this blog.

Why not take the time you use your free time to help make yourself a better person rather criticizing other peoples jobs that you are not qualified to do. I don't see him coming on here teaching you how to blog, because apparently thats your full time job, with all your posts. There are two types of people the ones that do and the ones that talk. If your not ready to do then leave your dissatisfaction at one blog and move on. Because your not going to do the job. You like reading box scores.

Oh and yeah whats with the insecurities? You have posted how educated you are on at least 20 blogs this year. If your so educated we will be able to tell by your blogs you don't have to tell us over and over again. Im glad you can call out high school students on there education level every other blog. You do realize thats like 80 percent of the people that blog on here. Your not perfect look at the imperfections on the first line of your last blog. Thats one hell of a sentence. lol.

We get it you don't like Whittier! Move on! Whittier doesn't like you either! Agree to disagree on the subject. JUST MOVE ON! PLEASE!

Sports Fan Original.

What does a box score tell? A particular score in a quarter. I will agree Whittier underachieved this year. But hey they won a few close games going into the fourth quarter this year. 21-13 against chino turned into a 35-13 win. 14-14 tie against Roosevelt turned into a 28-21 victory. Come from behind trailing 10-0 against Paramount 14-10 win. Yeah they fell apart late against superior teams agains schurr and cal. And of course the La Serna game was a mess. But how did they respond two blow out wins. What about La Serna no showing up for entire games. Or not showing up to the game untill the fourth quarter. Same thing can be contributed to coaching. I'm just saying stop picking on one schools coach and acting like the same thing that happend in the la serna whittier game didn't happen to santa fe and coach Mahlstede. And don't act like La Serna getting blown out by Pioneer is not the kids not being prepared this year. Call it fairly Whittiers coaching was no worse then 5 other schools this year. Why is it that La Serna's coaching is so great? But Whittier's is awful with identical records and simular talent. And don't act like La Serna didn't get completely out coached the last two years I can name specific games i went to. La Serna had the best talent in the league last year and got dominated by Santa Fe and choked the league title. How about two years ago when La Serna ran 12 failed trick plays in there loss against Cal Hi. Or how bout when they blew the season finale against a horrible Pioneer team that year. Im just saying stop having a bone to pick. Your grass isn't so green over their either. You guys didn't make the playoffs either.

sports fan original said:

to "Anonymous" Whittier did not get lose a lead in the second half in that get. They beat the Ranch from the get-go. I believe Whittier had the second most "talent" in the league this year (I know that is not saying that much) but they fail to "battle" when the game is being decided.

I never said the quit when they are ahead. "Whittier is not tough when the going gets tough"

sports fan original said:

someone used my "sports fan original" on November 18, at 11:43.

That was not the "original" sports fan original. You can tell by the uneducated like writing ability and making no (zero) sense.

NOT THAT I DO NOT MAKE MISTAKES; I DO!!

I have nothing agaist Whittier, but with my level of education, (many people have as much or more) I have developed the simple ability to look at box scores and see one game (versus La Serna) and conclude that when Whittier gets in a very tough situation late in the game, they almost always lose it. Even after having a lead before the adversity. Sometimes, as against La Serna, a huge lead. I account these losses to "quitting mentally". Not being taught "how to win".

Go back, you all, and look at the "box scores" and see if I am correct if you do not believe it. The proof is in the box scores.

Anything you Whittier "staff lovers" say or write will not displace the "proof in the box scores" over 5 or six losses this season.

all of you guys are haters...yes the del rio league was a little bad this year but give cal credit..they smashed every team they played except for whittier now they got a chance for revenge first round and they WILL go far.. grow up and stop hatin....GET A LIFE!

hahahah dear el fantasma stop kissing flores behind for injuring his knee things happen for a reason if he really had heart like delvillar he would have played for his teamates....and FYI delvillar DID tore his ACl and still managed to play this season with a season ending injury.... too bad flores was a lil girl and called it quits for the season lol

Titan In The Know said:

el fantasma,

Delvillar did indeed tear his acl. Flores' injury was much more severe than Delvillar's, but Delvillar did tear it.

Also el fantasma, please check you spelling, grammar, and facts, don't you know stupid your blogs read when others view them?

Good luck to Del Rio League teams in the playoffs.

sports fan original said:

What about when my coach lost to pioneer by double digits! You know the pioneer team that everybody else beat by forty. Talk about choking! I don't know why i have such a hard on for Whittier?

anonymous said:

So what you saw one Whittier game this year and read box scores. I saw nine El Rancho games this year. So what would you say about a team that got destroyed by Whittier team "with no heart" with a playoff spot seemingly on the line. No way to know they would of picked the right envelope. By the way did you go to the La Serna Vs. Cal Hi fiasco. Whats more of a fiasco giving up a 14 point lead late by a last second hail mary or having a playoff spot on the line and losing by "49" to your rival and it looks like it was only 49 because they called off the dogs. What about the La Serna vs El Rancho when you guys blew your own lead? Sorry you had to go to all those La Serna games this year? I know it was probably worse then the ranch.

This blog isn't even about SP. But I'm glad some of you guys are still thinking about us. Even if it is negative. That just shows what SP means to this area. Thanks. And good luck to the teams who did make it.

HEY ANONYMOUS I'M TIRED OF YOU TALKING WITHOUT KNOWING THE FACTS YOU JUST REAPEAT WHAT YOU HEAR AND COME TO THE BLOG AND OPEN YOUR BIG MOUTH AND PRETEND TO CONTROL THIS BLOG LIKE EVERYTHING YOU SAID ITS right, dEL vILLAR DID NOT TORE HIS ACL HE JUST HAVE A SPRAIN KNEE YOU UNDERSTAND ? SO STOP WHAT YOU HEAR IN BLEACHERS AND SIDELINES AND SAY YOUR OWN TRUE STORY, do not confuse people FLORES HAS AN ACL INJURY AND IS OUT FOR THE SEASON AND AFTER i SAW DEL VILLAR AGAINST SANTA FE NO WAY HE'S AT THE SAME LEVEL AS ALEX FLORES WHO LAST YR BPLAYED THE ENTIRE SEASON AND DEFEATED EVERY DEL RIO LEAGUE TEAM INGLUDING DEL VILLAR AND BURKE SO STOP CRYING AND BE REAL MORON.

anonymous said:

just call them how i see them. we shall see after this week. When all three schools are crying how we should have played better blah blah blah. And the only reason i mentioned whittier i had went to the last el rancho and la serna game on friday and that was the only team that put up a fight. Whittier would lose to the whole league sucks get it and cif thinks so to look at your guys pairings lol. 1-2-3 del rio league out. Then i can go watch some are teams that have things going for them like La Mirada and La Habra.

Cal Hi Parent said:

Anonymous "know nothing"

Cal lost 2 games. One to a team that was rated # 1 or 2 early on, and the other is rated # 2 in their division at this time. They tied Schurr, who has won their league 7 straight years and won a CIF championship 3 or 4 years ago.

I do not know how they will play this friday, but if they play anywhere near how they have been playing they will get out of the first round successfully.

"Anonymous" El rancho has no heart? Whittier is the team that quits late in all games it is behind in. I only saw the La Serna fiasco but if you look at the box scores you can "see it".

Cal Fan said:

I never said La Serna was a good team. I said the league was "way down" & never mentioned them.

The Ranch game was close @ half because of the pick when they would have went up 21-7. The 2nd half wasn't close tough. Are going to get anybody back from injury elrancho? Another West Co performance would be nice.

blue pride said:

hey anonymous: stop drinking your "hatorade" and stop bagging on the del rio..let me guess, when you were in high school, you were all league...right?? quit your hating and if you don't like the high school football around here, stay home!

anonymous said:

Your score against the other schools only proves how down the league actually is and im not baseing my opinion on one game im basing it on all five league el ranch games. grant it you guys were the best by far. but the league was horrible. Congrats on the league title but you saying La Serna was a good football team shows you have a warped sense of what good football is. Pioneer, La Serna, El Rancho, Whittier horrible football teams, Santa fe very average and you guys slightly above average period.

cal hi lol said:


Cal hi sucks. Only a moron would declare an automatic victory over a team that already beat them.

SF said:

Whittier you are not going to the playoff, stop embarrassing yourself and your school, everyone expect this kind of behavior out of the st paul slime. I know you say the league is weak because Whittier didn't make (playoffs) it, wow. You guys never make the playoffs. Ask Coach Scott, if anyone could inform you it would be Whittler's coach on their own history. Please I believe Whittier can act better than the sp slime.

Anonymous;...or...Hey, Virginian I take it you’re an adult and are here to support your friends kid that plays at el rancho, all year at that, but you say his team is weak and has no heart and the league he plays in is weak and will lose in the first round. In addition, you’re taking about kids, kids that no matter if they win or lose, their family and friends will support them. I guess coming from out of State and calling kids weak, no heart, must make you feel strong and charitable. However, as you say you do not have any skin in the game. You mention you would like el rancho to give their playoff spot to Whittier, who you have no ties with, especially living in Virginia. Wow your friends kid gets belittle and Whittier get all your love. Mr Magnanimous You are a fraud!

With screen name like laugher its easy to see why you know all....You let me get off the hook to easy you can be a little harder on me,you arent using your real name so say anything you want:)

i wouldnt say cal destroyed el rancho. it was tied 14-14 at half and if i remember correctly 21-17 going into the 4th.

elrancho said:

The ER game was close in the third quarter, ER lead 17-14 at one point...

Cal Fan said:

Cal turned the ballover 6 times to Rowland & lost by 7 in the first game this year Mr. Virgina. You watched all the ER games & now your a freaking expert on Cal. Not only will Cal beat them, I expect a comfortable win for the Condors.

The Del Rio was down, way down and that's is why Cal destroyed every team except Whittier. That was the toughest game in league for them.

Cal-180
Del Rio-34

It could have been much worse but, the head coach doesn't run it up genius.

Cal hi out in first round.

What time is St. Pauls playoff game? OOOPS giggity giggity goo!

Anonymous said:

Now that the Del Rio Champ is crowned "Calhi". Lets see how far they can go. Their position in the playoffs look worth at least 3 rounds. Looks like Thanksgiving week off will be practice for players and coaches.

Congrads Coach Arnold,staff and players for a great year.

I heard Flores will be at Playoffs he will be clear tomorrow so Ill be there to watch one of the most exciting players that I saw this yr. I still remember that performance against San Clemente Bell Gardens Bonita La serna,Downey ....If not Ill se you at next level maybe Cerritos for now good luck and may GOd bless you Alex Flores

anonymous said:

Cal Hi : Sorry to offend you but La Serna is a horrible team im not a Whittier fan. I went to all the El Rancho games to watch my friends son play. I didn't even go to school in the area i graduated from a school in Virginia and have no kids thus have no biases. I don't care when whittier went to the playoffs or won a game they sure looked way better then El Rancho on friday. The del rio league was weak! I'll say it again Weak! And it will show when you guys get smacked by a third place team from another league Rowland. Just like they spanked you in the first game of the season. All three teams in the del rio league one and done mark my words.

win said:

wow how bad was this league this year?

but that had to be the most lopsided loss in the cal/ls series to date

good job cal
complete dominance over ls this decade

What a laugher said:

Is St. Paul making the playoffs? I think not but according to John V. their building a super strong program that everyone will be afraid to play next year lol. The freshmen class is less than a hundred, wow.

Cal Hi said:

Anonymous when was the last time Whittier went to the playoffs? Better yet when was the last time Whittier won a playoff game? Now you show some integrity and with your pathetic post on who should give what to whom “appalling”. Your well wishes are erroneous and cannot be taken at face value. La Serna is a good team that beat Whittier, Cal better and El Rancho has been filling holes up the last three weeks or so because of seven top players that are out, in which three go both way. Be a man and remember there's next year. Next year if Whittier makes the playoffs, I'm sure the DRL will seem a lot stronger to you lol.

wtf are u saying el rancho is pathetic maybe so even tho they totally looked horrible this year they also put up the best game v.s cal hi i think u should switch that thought asshole

Anonymous said:

I was taught never to kick a man when they are down, but this is St. Paul and those cheating bastards deserve to be stomped on when they are down. and boy, are they down. Thats what you get for having a big head. Even Montebello and Pioneer looked better than you this year.

drl fan said:

Congrats to Cal
But everyone in the area knows that this was only your title bc SF QB Flores got hurt. He was THE BEST PLAYER in this League by far and the SF coaches should be kicking themselves in the face for putting their QB responsible for over 1700 total yards and 18 total TD's in 5+ games on a onside kick and thus he suffers a season ending knee injury.

But congrats anyway. Cal took care of business and did what they were supposed to do and won!! Good luck though trying to win with no passing game in playoffs. I predict a 2nd round exit

as for SF if Flores comes back they can go far...if not, then they will be out in 1st or 2nd round

ER out 1st round

dr del rio said:

CAN YOU SAY BOOTY WHOOPING, I CAN
GOOD JOB CAL , LA SERNA YOU SUCK BUT THE QB (HUGE AND A HELLUVA AN ARM). LETS KICK SOME PLAYOFF BOOTY. KEEP MIXIN IT UP ON OFFENSE AND YOU HAVE A GREAT CHANCE TO WIN SOME GAMES BUT IT MUST BE A TEAM EFFORT. SENIORS EVERY GAME COULD BE YOUR LAST ,PLAY IT LIKE THERES NO TOMORROW. AND LAST OF ALL HATS OFF TO THE COACHES.

GOOD LUCK NEXT WEEK

anonymous said:

how pathetic is it that they even let El Rancho in the playoffs after that pathetic showing in there last game. My friends son plays on the team and i wish them well but i was at the game and come on that team is horrible and has no heart. Now i see La serna gives up 56 points when they had a chance to play their way in. I didn't expect them to win but i thought they might put up a lil fight with a playoff berth on the line. If La Serna and El Rancho had any integrity they would just give Whittier the third seed. They might not be very good but they played there best ball the last two weeks and showed heart unlike those other two teams. How bad was the del rio league this year seriously.
