Helmets and Pads: St. Paul
To be honest, I had wanted to visit a St. Paul practice since the suspensions - mostly out of curiosity. How does a team function with only two coaches? How are the kids adapting? What's the focus like at camp? There were several questions that needed answering.
Casey Morales works with the line
What I saw was about 47 suited up players (looks like there were another 7-10 that were injured) that performed well given the circumstances.
What was most surprising was the number of coaches or alumni that came out to support the team. Former coaches Casey Morales, Rich Avina Sr., and Shawn Clingan along with alumnus Mike Cortez and R.G. Uballez helped with drills and practice.

I couldn't tell you how St. Paul is going to fare against La Mirada in 10 days but it's good to see the program recovering.
Here's my story on their practice that will run in Thursday's paper -
PREP FOOTBALL: Former coaches, players come in to support program.
By Andrew J. Campa Staff Writer
SANTA FE SPRINGS -- Written on the back of the shirt of St. Paul High School football assistant coach Rich Avina Jr. is the slogan "bring back the tradition."
The statement took shape at Wednesday afternoon's practice when the football program welcomed back a few former coaches and alumni to help out a team with only two active coaches.
"It's real positive because those guys know the system," St. Paul offensive coordinator Visko Ancich said. "They played, coached and been a part of it for a long time so they're aware of what we're trying to do on the field."
Ancich and Avina Jr., the defensive backs coach, are the Swordsmen's only two varsity coaches not serving suspensions in the wake of last week's hazing allegations.
However, the practice field was not short of leadership as former coaches Casey Morales, Shawn Clingan and Rich Avina Sr. and former players Mike Cortez and R.G. Uballez helped out.
"I have to get used to yelling again," said Morales, the school's athletic director. "My throat is all dry."
Morales coached the offensive line last year and found himself in the familiar position of serenading the hogs with his baritone bellowing.
As for Clingan, this was the assistant athletic director's first varsity action since he coached with Ealar Gallagher at La Salle seven years ago.
"A lot of people have been making phone calls and just letting us know that they're concerned," Avina Jr. said. "So, a lot of those guys that have come back are really close to the program."
Avina Sr. found his memory a bit rusty when he worked with his son on kick-return and kickoff duties.
"It's taking a while," Avina Sr. said. "I'll get it."
The help was well appreciated by both coaches, who received assistance from alumnus Andrew Canales at last weekend's blue-white game.
"The day-to-day stuff gets a little more difficult," Avina Jr. said. "Obviously, we're short-handed and people that are showing up, they're showing up and we're trying to put them into drills."
Even with a small staff, Ancich was happy with the team's practice and noted it had been the best practice since the scrimmage.
"We've just talked about the players still have to move on. They still have to keep working regardless of the situation," Ancich said. "It doesn't matter who's out here. They are the guys on the field and they have to be ready."
The message sunk it with senior linebacker James Fimbres, who understands his role and that of the seniors has changed.
"I need to become a better leader, be a role model for the younger guys," Fimbres said, "the defense has a bunch of young guys."
Avina Jr. admitted it's a challenge to focus the attention of teenagers away from distractions but was encouraged by the strength of his team.
"These kids are amazing," he said. "That's something historically that St. Paul has always brought to the table. We're going to be tough, we're going to be resilient and we're going to overachieve."

Hello! I'm very impressed by the valuable post. Can I reference your post in my blog? Thanks!
I've been meaning to go through this and just by no means got a opportunity. It is an concern that Im incredibly thinking about, I just started studying and Im glad I did. Youre a terrific blogger, 1 of the most effective that Ive observed. This blog surely has some data on topic that I just wasn't aware of. Thanks for bringing this things to light.
Boa tarde pessoal, verdadeiramente ter um veículo é trabalhoso devido ao encarecimento de algumas empresas como as de leasing. Estas nem sempre cumprem ao contrato feito ou tem escondidas em letras ilegíveis deveres que não beneficiam ao adquirinte do carro. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não comtempla todas as clausúlas do consumidor. Estava lendo umas experiências no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os passos para a compra sem ter dor de cabeça mais tarde. Desculpem, realmente está difícil fazer uma boa compra.
Neat blog layout! Very easy on the eyes.. i like the colors you picked out
Keep focusing on your blog. I love how we can all express our feelings. This is an extremely nice blog here :)
Boa noite amigos, provavelmente enviar um torpedo grátis está cada vez mais custoso devido ao bloqueio das operadoras móveis. Há ainda os websites que prometem entregar meu SMS mas quase nunca chegam destinatário final. Alguns como o Mundo oi e o Oi Torpedo funcionam mas e para as outras operadoras? E os que dizem que enviam e nada chega. Para onde está indo as meus torpedos? E para a Tim, Vivo? Alguma Idéia? Ou significa ter de pagar?. Foi mal, realmente está difícil achar dicas para mandar torpedos barato.
Credit for the great blog post. I am glad I have taken the time to read this.

Marvel post! ballin outta control! You need to search online for the best deals or even prices on Burberry products. All the time these lookups will take you to a Burberry Sale stock. Outlet stores can often be few in number. So, in advance of when you leave, make sure you look on line to find one who's closest to the job.

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.

You make blogging look like a walk in the park! I've been trying to blog daily but I just cant find writing material.. you're an inspiration to me and i'm sure many others!
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

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.

Now, I am not one to try to second-guess translated beings, but as I read Bierce’s manuscript I couldn’t help but to notice that he has a mean streak a mile wide. In fact, he seemed determined to offend every single Mormon and half the Gentiles in the world. Of course I couldn’t delete anything he wrote, but I also knew that Mormons just aren’t used to reading things that don’t congratulate them for being Saints. To help solve this problem, I took the liberty of adding a few nice definitions here and there. Anything that makes you mad is by Bierce. If you have complaints, take them up with him.

Have you heard of the brand-new fresh Kinect? Its actually awesome! I never had so much fun playing game titles before, eventhough I might call myself the hardcore player in which usually plays game titles like Call of Duty and so on. The Kinect is definitely so different than anything I have ever before played before. your motion controles work really well, and not just that, but not required to use a controller to learn is the personification connected with freedom! No infuriating button smashing any longer, a single word will do! You should think about getting a Kinect!

I never had a whole lot fun playing game titles before, eventhough I would likely call myself the hardcore player of which usually plays game titles like Call of Duty etc. The Kinect is merely so different than whatever else I have previously played before. the particular motion controles do the job really well, and plus, but not required to use a controller that can be played is the personification involving freedom! No annoying button smashing ever again, a single word will do! You should really think about getting any Kinect!.

I am an student and i am willing to write some part of this post to my university blog,can i do so.Also just require your permit just mail me if you are happy about it. i believe this post will be helpful for the info i am wanting to publish.
No one in their right mind would question Coach Morales' ability and dedication. The guy is a class act.
Casey please stay in your A.D. office and stay out of coaching. Stick with you do best (?)
Good to see the alumni come back and help. That's what we are all about . Even though it's on when we meet on the field we stick together in the tough times . Good luck and get that program back in shape . We are waiting for you !!!
Response to "ILoveMoschetti"
You should be more tolerant and understanding. St. Paul is not blessed with the infusion of our tax dollars to buy pretty practice uniforms and state-of-the-art equipment for football. It relies on the tuition paid for the students and you should be well aware of the economic situation that exists and the decrease in enrollment at St. Paul because of it. The school spends their money as they fit and it is fitting, and rightfully so, the academics are a priority. We can only hope that the boys play well, win-lose-or tie, and that they are free from injury.
Hey IloveMoshetti..you when a CIF title for the first time ever and now you have the nads to talk smack about St.Paul?? Are you kidding me?? Show some respect for a program that has dominated the area(including La Mirada)for decades. Try playing against D1 opponents year in and year out and let's see how many titles you win?? Dummy Up and show some class!
Agree Once a Chief. When SP played Pioneer last year I was Impressed by how hard the Titan played to the end, especially, since the game was over early. Your league should be fun to watch this year.
I'm glad for THE KIDS" that they can turn a negative into a positive, we got to remember that they are only kids i'm not not a big St. Paul fan by far but its nice to see alumni giving back to their school its going to be a tough couple of years for St. Paul .
on that note its FINALLY nice to see Pioneers parents giving their football team some support. I've been to passing leagues the past few years and SF parents would share snacks,water with them because they didn't bring any i've always said if pioneer would get the support they would be a pretty good team,
I wish everybody a safe season this year good luck "play hard play safe"
Wish you luck in your season, it's going to be tough but hang in there boys your the core of this program and together you can make a difference. Going to go out and show my support regardless of how I feel about St. Paul. It's the students that suffer for what the administration does. GO SWORDSMAN!!!
I hope the coachs come back and get things ready for La Mirada. Coach Morales sure has put on alot of weight!
How sad are these pics? The practice uni's, the sled and even the coaches look like a Pop Warner team. Final score: LM 42 - SP 10.
All these proved one thing to be true: Once a Swordsman, Always a Swordsman.
