It's Official -- Drake Griffin is a Highlander

| | Comments (85) |

Highlanders football coach Frank Mazzotta confirmed that former St. Paul running back Drake Griffin has been working out with the team (which is totally legit) after his transfer in late January.

However, visions of Griffin in the clan's midnight blue and white this fall are not a done deal.

For one, Mazzotta said Griffin still has to be cleared by the CIF-SS office. As of today, Griffin has not even filed a transfer with the CIF-SS office.

Griffin was St. Paul's leading rusher last season, totaling 943 yards on 121 carries (7.8 average) with 11 rushing touchdowns and one fumble.

The 5-foot-9, 204-pound junior was also the team's second-leading receiver with 17 receptions for 141 yards. He was recently awarded the Charles Martinez Memorial (Best Back) Award at January's St. Paul football banquet.

But whatever happens to Griffin, his departure will likely be more of a bust to St. Paul than a boom to La Habra.

Editor's Note: I know there were some bloggers who tried to post this update earlier. I could not allow the post until an official confirmed it. Thanks for your patience.

Odd this post is totaly unrelated to what I was looking out google for, nevertheless it was indexed on the first page. I suppose your doing one thing right if Google likes you sufficient to place you on the first page of a non related search.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

The necessity of the elements of the answer is buy something that is natural and more or less normal. If you find the article, very nice design, it looks for ways that you would be able to pay. Since most items are sold fairly regular exotic designer needs to clean to buy a replica Resort, if you really want. Many authentic replica Imitation Designer Handbagsare cheap enough to buy. But even in these replicas there are varieties that you have to give a complete failure.

Hi, I thought that what happened in season 4 finale left me hanging forever but this season is worse! I love this show though. The season 5 began very slow but it's became more exciting fast. I totally am puzzled about how they are gonna end the show. We all know what’s going to happen but still…What do you guys think?

I love the expression. Everyone needs to express there own opinion and feel free to hear others. Keep it up :)

Backlinks said:

High quality info here! Keep up the great work. I love the feelings being expressed.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

In order to properly reword comments, you have to be creative and unique. Convince the author that even though the article is quite unoriginal, it's still content they need posted on their T-20 Everpure Whole House Water Filter System page.

A yungin dont worrie bout da hater's they just need yo help at st. fall u were bound to fail if u stayed im glad u left now i can watch some real football and who ever dont think Drake Griffin is going to start at la habra u r very foolish and heart broke, dont be mad at my boy becuz he wants a future for himself! LETS GO HIGHLANDER!

Eagle Parent said:

I know drake griffin he played pop warner with my kid and i think he is a tremendous athlete. Good Luck to him and i know he will make his mom proud. Oh yeah new coaching staff hopefully they dont let Wilson do anything with the team he barelly handled stuff at glenn. I am glad he is gone maybe now the eagles will fly again now that he is not clipping there wings!

s.p. said:

this year s.p team will be ok.. look out for a player named michael ortega. and some other kids to step up..go swordsmen..

H.S. sports fan said:

The Swordsmen will miss Drake since he was a big factor to the offence last year, but there are other players at St. Paul that will need to contribute this year in order to make it a successful football season. Watching last week’s passing league was interesting because SPHS had a couple of last year players moved to other positions. Vega #48 was playing both offense and defense. This kid is looking impressive, why didn’t they use this kid last year on offense?
I hope the newly assembled coaching staff will recognize the talent they have at the school and utilize it correctly.

Big Dogg said:

The only reason Drake left SPHS was to capture a "RING"..

If the idiots are weeded out, you SP people will never post, right.

Brandon Paul said:

Wow!

Something seriously is wrong with the St. Paul athletic program, lots of people know it, thats why many student/athletes have left the school. I am sure many more have contemplated leaving.

Anony. Are you a slow learner, which with no fault of your own because you were born that way or went to SP,..... "something seriously wrong with St. Paul", you just notice, come from under the rock and get some air, anonymous.

SP DAD said:

He'll always be recognized as a St. Paul Running back! So it is true... Once A Swordsmen, Always a Swordsmen. Drake is a great running back. But, where's the loyalty. St. Paul took very good care of this kid. And he knows that. This was going to be his team. If he did it for the ring. Then yeah, it was a good move. But, how much does that ring really mean to you. If you weren't there from your Freshmen year. I don't think you remember the ring down the road. It's the friends that you grind it out with to win it does. Now that's what it's all about.

The only competition is going to be for second string buddy. Drake is the real deal and will seal the deal. Mark my words. That swordsmen is the cream of the crop and will rise to the top. Actually he will not rise because he is already there. Dont hate, congratulate!

Coach Williams said:

Ah, stop picking on poor St. Paula, they have enough

problems as it is with their image. Who wants to attend a High School that sits among warehouses. And after schools activities are over the area becomes a
spooky place to be left alone. At least most high schools have neighborhood.

footbalr said:

Hey Rick-
ONCE A SWORDSMEN ALWAYS A SWORDSMEN....ask Elkington how he feels about that ridiculous statement...Drake might be as successful as Elkington...if he matures and changes his habits...I knew about these boys when they were 9th graders, they are complete opposites(in their character)I heard that he was (Elk) offered a full academic scholarship from Stanford. Drake just whats to get some offers and a ring..we shall see if he even plays..your correct Campa- La Habra getting Drake is not a great boom..he has a lot of competition...

football said:

Good luck to you Drake. Play hard and make your momma proud. Glad you got out of that mad house St.Paul and Barr and Ancich.

hijole said:

i got 1 year of eligibility left! i think ill transfer too! got my nike gear ready to go!! i want to win a ring too!

COME ON MURRAY said:

COME ON RICK
Once a swordsmen always a swordsmen. Are you kidding me, the kid leaves the football program, he is at La habra playoff practices watching last year with two other st paul kids. (he did not talk to any coaches just was watching like many others who were there) Once a swordsmen ha. I guess you guys would take anyone the way things are going at st paul.
CAMPA
I heard that one of coach A's sons is now coaching at st paul.

Anonymous said:

Looks like everyone is running for the hills the way St. Paul is headed. Smart move by changing schools. To a school that will be competitive. Get out while the getting is good.

he got out just in time! he'll win a championship this year. Drake "Clan" Griffin, sounds just right!

Area Fan said:

Also heard La Habra Football signed a contract with NIKE and will be sporting their gear this season. Wow, they're definitely headed in the right direction. What's next a cable t.v. contract....

Good luck Drake from your fans at St Paul run hard play hard.ONCE A SWORDSMEN ALWAYS SWORDSMEN!!!
