VIDEO: Colony coach Steve Randall talks about his team’s tough schedule.
The Colony football team is at a crossroad. The Titans head into their last non-league game 1-3. After an opening-week win they have been manhandled three straight weeks.
Tonight it was La Habra 49, Colony 6
The other scores:
Bishop Amat 59, Colony 20
Alemany 42, Colony 0
Next week it is Riverside Poly. The Bears were CIF runner-up a year ago, but like Colony graduated a lot of players.
Colony coach Steve Randall isn’t taking any team lightly but says Riverside Poly is a team his matches up against better physically.
Randall has preached that the schedule will get his team ready for Mt. Baldy League play. Yes it should. But you don’t want kids to completely lose confidence in the process.
The Titans could use a win. Randall should be able to get some help if he wants it. His former offensive coordinator Kevin Davis is the first-year head coach at Etiwanda and the Eagles just played and beat Riverside Poly.
The good news Randall points to is that his team has survived physically. There have been no major injuries, or even minor injuries to speak of.
The other teams in the Mt. Baldy have have looked good, most notably Montclair and Chaffey. But both have played weak schedules. Real weak. Ontario looks improved but the jury is still out on the Jags too.
Alta Loma is a question mark under a new coach.
We’ll see what kind of senior leadership this team has this week. The coaches can keep preaching about the bigger picture but the seniors can help rally the troop. Sometimes it helps to hear the right words from you peers rather than your coaches.
