ON ANY GIVEN THURSDAY ...

I'll be there!

Thanks Tom S for the back-up. As Tom said, Saturday is our last home game (and Senior Day) against Calvery Chapel Downey, should be a pretty uneventful game, leading up to next Friday's showdown with Whittier Christian. Lancer - come on out and see for yourself, and maybe bring some influential friends that will take a look at team and a school that is building for the future - and just maybe, some better competition - aside from RHP who just gets bigger and stronger.

Thanks TomS, I defenitely need to see Maranatha with my own two eyes. I know I will not have a chance to see the Minutemen against great competition, but as a guy who played a little at the next level I think I'll get a decent gauge. See you at the game!

Lancer Double8s:
I’ll answer your questions for my friend Minuteman Fan. I would like to see Maranatha have a tougher preseason schedule. Drop Cal School for the Deaf and Twin Pines and add as I’ve said before Pasa Poly and another stronger team. This would give us the opportunity to play Poly, Flintridge Prep and RHP in the preseason and give a better gauge to the strength of our team. We no longer play at SM High since moving into our new campus last year, the former Ambassador College facilities on South St. John Ave. As Fred likes to call it, the jewel of the valley. We have our own athletic field which has a new synthetic turf installed last year. Now all we need are lights, which hopefully will come prior to next year’s football season and then we can have Friday night High School football games on our campus. We have our next and last league home game this Saturday at 2:00 and you’re more then welcome to come and see us play. If you have time come over to the visitor’s side and say hi. I’m on the chain crew and the one with the down box. We play a not to strong Calvary Christian team before the big match up the following week against Whittier Christian .

Minuteman Fan, I'm sure it was exciting. Kudos to Maranatha and players for winning a close one for they are always the toughest to win. However, it would be an understatement if I said I was extemely underwhelmed with your competition this year. Does Maranatha still play at SM high? I would like to be in attendance for their next match.

Lancer - would love to hear your observations about the Maranatha v Brentwood game - and your right - things change - we proved that with our come from behind, never give up win over Brentwood - should make for a great end of the season game against Whittier Christian.

Minuteman Fan, things do change. Maranatha used to play much better teams. Now their competition is a compilation of tiny schools and ex-8 man squads. Drop the University of Temple into D-2 and they're bound to look good as well.

Good points. Tradition, experience and coaching are huge. My hunch is that San Jac and Rosamond are at the point of establishing those same characteristics.

burbanksports

Good question. Rosamond and San Jacinto are excellent programs and don't overlook Big Bear. RH Prep has the advantage of having been to the finals two years in a row. They do know how to prepare...and preserve themselves for such a long season. Big game experience is hard to come by and several of the RH Prep players have been in both of those big games.

I'd take La Salle over RHP. As for a CIF title this year for RHP? Is RHP better than Rosamond or San Jacinto?

Observer
Your points are well taken about a RHP/LaSalle match up which I would love to see. But you lose some credibility when you say Bury @ 215 outweighs anyone of the RHP team. RHP has five players over 200 and two over 220. But that's not the point and neither is the lack of skill issue you misrepresent.

Enough on that. I know one thing, if there were such a match up the RHP coaches would have their players ready. Next year RHP will be bigger.

First of all look on the back of the La Salle FB players shirts and you will see the phrase "As One". Second Coach Gallagher has put together a great team not only on the field but off the field as well. Through doing community service throughout pasadena (Rebuilding Pasadena, Working camps) to doing team building exercises. La Salle is a team not individuals. And also, size matters when LS has a line that averages around 230 compared to that of a line under 200. Also La Salle has played the hardest schedule this year by far in the Mid Valley Division. I am not saying that RHP is a bad team, but you cannot say that LS would beat SF right now just because they came out as a team with heart. Be realistic, RHP would simply be out manned, because of a lack of depth, size, and skill at every position. When Bury who is around 215 (outweighing whole RHP team) breaks into the secondary you cannot tell me that if Akeem Ayers could not tackle him, that and RHP player with heart could. Please RHP go out and win a CIF title this year and celebrate I will support you guys, but do not try and make them better than they are.

Observer-

"It's mot the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog" my point is that RHP HAS HEART and they would find a way to win against La Salle. The brotherhood that is on that team causes them to play better because they do it for the guys next to them and not themselves. Now im not saying that La Salle or any other school is kinda like that, but you can tell just by watching RHP that there are 25 guys working togheter for one dream that they all share. A CIF championship and a victory each week is the only thing on their minds. Go Kares!

At least Maranatha has nice uniforms. How's this for private/public competition. Burbank competes in the "student" recruiting wars against Village Christian, Alemany, SO Notre Dame, Crespi, Chaminade, St. Francis, Harvard Westlake, Bell Jeff and Providence.

You kidding me that La Salle would lose to RHP. RHP has TWO people on their team over 200lbs. Yes they are a good D13 team, but come on they could never hang with La Salle or any of the RHL teams. Give me a break. RHP can play Poly, but La Salle's db's are heavier than some of RHP's lineman.

Ohhh...La Salle and Rio Hondo--that would be a good matchup. My take on it would be that Rio's "D" would step up (as usual) and create some turnovers and misques. Their "O" ,however, although they are extremely proficient, I think might stall a little under La Salle's "D". Final Score:
Rio Hondo 27
La Salle 15
Those crazy little Kares just find ways to win. Kudos Kares!

There's a reason that small schools are in the divisions that they are. I blame all of this mess on Oaks Christian. Now everyone wants to compare their school and record against tougher competition and you really can't do that most of the time.

I am confused with Fred's earlier post however. "Maranatha couldn't hang with a La Salle but a much closer game would be RHP or La Salle"....huh? Fred, you getting tired of proofing? If 37-0 is much closer then...and I respectfully decline a game with the surging Lancers at this time--like I matter!

Minuteman, don't get touchy. The truth is the truth.

Hey Minuteman Fan: Interesting the just you and I, along with a few from Pasadena Guy that are the ones posting comments for Maranatha and we don't have boys on the football team. Maybe some others will get the urge to start putting up some posts. Fred, I've been posting for the last two weeks about the big game this weekend against Brentwood. Let's remember that Whittier Christian still needs to play them the following week and then if both teams get by them we've got a great finishing game for the Alpha championship. I still like my idea of a Pasadena area small school champion. Already RHP, Flintridge and Poly play each other in league action and Maranatha already plays RHP and Flintridge in preseason. All we need to do is get a preseason game against Poly and each team will have played each other. Not sure what to do with La Salle and St Francis.

Lancer... that was then and this is now - things, teams, and situations change, and Fred thanks for the shout out about our campus - it is the best in the valley

I agree with Lancer that Maranatha couldn't hang with La Salle this year. A better, or much closer game would be Rio Hondo Prep and La Salle.

Minutemen fan, I don't know a lot about Brentwood, but I do know that's a tough game for you. I would love for Maranatha to win and set up the league finale with Whittier Christian for the Alpha. And for the record, Maranatha does lead everyone in the best campus category. I'd like to design a beautiful nine hole golf course at that place.

I didn't slap anybody in the face, just spoke the truth. If anyone playing or coaching at Maranatha claims that they've played a tough football team then speak up. I went to La Salle in the 90s for pete's sake, I was NEVER under the impression-even during a steak where we won 26 or 33 or so did I think we were as good as some of the bigger schools, or deserved to be ranked above a team that would obviously run us off the field...EVEN IF OUR RECORD WAS BETTER. To say again, I wasn't trying to disrespect anyone MFan, but your tender response does remind me of the Minuteman competetion I used to face....

Not sure who asked earlier, but here's my private school top seven, since I believe there are only seven local private schools that field football teams.

Private Schools Rankings:
1. St. Francis (5-2)
2. La Salle (3-5)
3. Rio Hondo Prep (6-0)
4. Poly (5-1)
5. Maranatha (6-1)
6. Bosco Tech (3-4)
7. Flintridge Prep (3-3)

Hey Finchamp, I think you and I may be the only ones to get that international category joke.

Finchamp, I keep telling Campa he needs to chip in more often. He is our king of the small schools, and kept pushing for Drain to be the coach of the year last season.

Campa--

Good to hear from you and thanks for the laugh! I see it took you 24 hours to come up with two other private schools in thoses regions. I think we'd have to develop a special international category for Southwestern!

Lancer8 - nice job slamming the schools Maranatha plays with the "Maranatha plays nobody" comment - that is a lot of kids you just slapped in the face - not to mention the coaches.

There are also quite a number of Temple City and Arcadia residents as students at La Salle.

P finchamp,

Don't forget about Don Bosco Tech in Rosemead and Southwestern Academy in San Marino. Those are two private schools in the cities you previously mentioned.

Lancer 8 is right. Harsh, but the truth is sometimes like that.
The issue of local programs losing kids to the likes of a Maranatha, La Salle is an indictment of our public school system and representative of our society as a whole. I will not stand on a bully pulpit, but the lack of a spiritual, disciplined educational system in our public schools forces a lot of us to look for better alternatives in educating our children. I say this as an ex educator, who has seen first hand and experienced the incongruities of public school administrations. For many of us it is a financial sacrifice in paying tuition, but it is well worth it.

If the public schools in the area did a better job of educating our kids, and provided a safe, well balanced, and character based environment in which to learn, maybe the "drain" would not be as much. Parents who choose to place their kids in private school, and more importantly, the kids who make the request themselves, do it for a lot of reasons, and athletics don't always come in as the first reason. I agree with all the comments about small private vs. big public, and what the pre-season schedules look like - I would love to see Maranatha have a tougher, more local pre-season schedule, and re-align the leagues so that the local privates play each other - it goes back to why Maranatha should be in the Prep League. Instead of comparing apples to oranges, do 2 polls for the Star News top 10 - public and private, but if I were to rank Maranatha in the existing poll, it would be in place of So. Pas. Fred - you don't seem to be putting much importance on the Brentwood game - always a struggle for Maranatha, and with MHS, Brentwood and Whittier tied in the Alpha League for 1st place right now it is anybodys title to win (or lose). Finchamp - I am liking you more and more throughout the blogs - we small school folks need to stick together. I never thought my kids would go the private school route - Temple City is spitting distance from our house - but we are thankful everyday (except maybe in our checkbook) that the decision (at their request) was made to go the Maranatha, and for the record, I don't even have a kid playing football - Go Minutemen!

Thanks FredJ. New York is absolutely correct about Hart and Canyon. Burbank and Burroughs have had some very strong teams lately, but it meant trying to beat Saugus and then trying to win the battle of Burbank. Then hoping and praying for a wild card spot.

NY
Guess that's my point. What might it be like today if each city only had 2 high schools and kids HAD to go to the one closest to their home like I did 34 years ago?

PF,
Every city you mentioned loses kids to private schools. It's a way of life.

Tom S

First let's clarify that Marshall is not really a small school in comparison to the likes of Maranatha and Poly with at least double their enrollment. And while I think the idea of a Pasadena Small Schools champ is novel, these small schools are drawing kids from all around the area so it's not quite the "Turkey Tussle" match-up where the kids are truly city products. And what do I do with a son from Altadena playing at RHP? Our tussle in Arcadia is a little more daunting.

But that brings up a point. Doesn't everyone kinda wonder how good Pasadena (the Mustangs or Bulldogs) could be if there wasn't such a drain off to Private schools? That's what is used to be like 40 years ago. Last I checked there wasn't a private HS in Monrovia, S. Pasadena, San Marino, Temple City, Duarte, El Monte, Rosemead or even Sierra Madre! Maybe it's time for the Star News to consider a ranking of Private schools in the area starting with St. Francis at the top.

Ouch Lancer8s!

Giving Maranatha a move up in the rankings to #2...worst team in Pasadena---that's harsh man. And why is everyone forgetting about Blair? Sorry, had to take a poke at Blair. Real athletes and good coaches know where they are now (winning) and where they have been (losing) over time. I'd reckon Maranatha's record over the past three years is among the top in the area--granted they could have had a stronger schedule, so they addressed it by having a stronger preseason this year and have now moved into the competitive Alpha League. But we are men and love to pound our chests when things are as good as they are at Maranatha (HS campus jewel in So. Cal and winning football). Give 'em a break Lancer8s and don't forget that the game has cyclical periods where the balance of power shifts.

Speaking of a shift in the balance of power, I don't think enough has been said about LaSalle's recent success. Losing 5 in a row and then coming into league like they were playing their second string in those first 5 games, amazing! So what would you rather have? Winning your first 5 in a row then losing your last 5 (all league games) or the other way around. There are more than a couple of local teams that might have a similar fate.

OK Lancer Double8s:
Let me get this straight. You say Maranatha is the 2nd worst team in Pasa. You'd put them behind Blair? Let's look at Pasa Poly. Both teams have played the same two teams, Campbell Hall and Marshall and won by similar scores. I'd like to see Coach Murphy be able to schedule a pre-season game next year against Poly and then we would have all the local small schools playing each other for bragging rights. We could crown a Pasadena Area Small School champion. Finchamp, what do you think?
Later

Small school top five
1. Rio Hondo Prep
2. Pasadena Poly
3. Maranatha
4. Flintridge Prep
5. Marshall

The closest other small school that could soon crack the top ten is Pasadena Poly, even if they don't have any bloggers pushing their cause.

Tom S and Minuteman Fan

Would love to have your following and faithfullness at RH Prep! Don't let Fred's abrupt comment discourage you. It's rare enough to get a small school in the SN top ten and I assure you if RHP had even one loss they wouldn't be there.

On the other hand, should things go well for Maranatha you will have at least 5 more games to purge the top ten as the ranking will continue for weeks to come. Congrats on the attention Love received as athlete of the week...I know RHP gave him their full attention 3 weeks ago!

Tom S, unless something drastic in the universe has changed, Maranatha is the still the second worst team in Pasadena, ahead of poor Marshall F. The Lancer's used to run them off the field, and I would not want to see the carnage if Bury and Jimenez got a hold of this team. Bottom line...it's a matter of class, Maranatha plays nobody and La Salle is just better.

Minutemen Fan, who do you think Maranatha should replace in our top ten? Small schools have a couple opportunities a year to prove they deserve to be among the bigger schools in the rankings. Maranatha had their chance against RH Prep, and got blown out. Their next opportunity comes in the league finale against Whittier Christian.

I have to go with Tom S. - Maranatha deserves a spot in the Top Ten - maybe with a win over Brentwood?????

I don't think the Herrington brothers (Hart Coaches) or Canyon would allow their teams to lose to either burbank school. Honestly, a good year for either Burbank team in that league would have been to beat Saugus and make things interesting against Valencia.

Burbanksports, just wanted to say thanks for joining the threads. We welcome our friends from the Pacific League to join these discussions.

Both Burbank schools might have fared pretty well in their old Foothill League this season, but it may have come down to the rivalry game to decide which team went to the playoffs.

Might be playing a little devil's advocate here but how do you think the two Burbank schools would have done this year in the "not as strong as in the past" Foothill league?

Hart (3-4) doesn't seem to be the power they once were, at least for this year. Only two teams in that league are ranked in the Northern Division and Hart is one of them.

Burroughs nearly upset a good St. Francis team who proved their worth against Los Altos, played underdog very nicely to Bishop Amat and only seem vulnerable against power Crespi.

'Winning' league might be a nice pat on the back but I couldn't imagine the thrill of taking down a Hart or Canyon High and being 'competitive' in THAT league.

You really think Burroughs is only 10 points better than Arcadia? Burbank, the stepchild in that city, beat them pretty convincingly and I don't think Arcadia even scored against their first team. I know Coach Dimalante has his Arcadia squad eked up for games but I don't know what he's going to come up with for this one.

Tom S, I look at it this way, La Salle's three wins were bigger than any of Maranatha's six wins. And even La Salle's losses -- all five of them -- were to teams with winning records. Calpreps is a computer cruncher. I vote with my eyes.

"Everyone on here knows that Monrovia is doing there thing right now in the RHL (Really Horrible League)."

Hoover, Glendale, Crescenta Valley. That's all I gotta say.

Oh Fred: How can you put a 3 and 5 La Salle team with a -1.6 CalPreps rating in the top ten and leave off Maranatha at 6 and 1 with a -.3 rating off. You got something aganist the small schools?
Good to see you recognize Maranatha's Mark Love as Athletic of the Week

Burroughs will have little trouble with Arcadia. The Burbank vs Burroughs game will decide the Pacific League, BUT that is unlike any game/rivalry I've ever seen. I played in many San Marino vs TC and SM vs South Pas games and they don't compare. The Burbank rivalry is a war that is very unpredictable. If you miss the old days of high school rivalries, you've got to check this game out.

Just to let you all know the SF injuries from last weekends game are mostly healed except for Kevin Garcia. A new kid though was brought up not sure on how good he is but look for him to make an impact. I know you are all gonna hate me for saying this but he did have 6 TDs when SF's freshamn team played Los Altos. Its gonna be interesting. You should all check out this fridays game. SG Homecoming and also its gonna be interesting to see how this team bounces back. I will be there and i hope many of you are.

KM,

Just curious but have you ever heard the phrase, "Not showing up ready to play." Arcadia was slaughtered by Burbank because they weren't prepared mentally for this game. Bell Gardens and Pasadena are better team then people think and they beat both these teams convincingly. Burbank is a better team as well but with Robison out with injury, Arcadia should be worried.

That 42-14 doesn't represent Arcadia at all.

I want to comment on Muir vs. Monrovia. As of now, I would have to say Muir would defeat Monrovia. James Davis is a stud but Muir has already seen what the term "stud" truly means with Marc Tyler and having Willie Youngblood.

Good luck to all teams this week.

How can you be baggin on arcadia, just watch how good of a game its going to be. Don't rule the apaches yet. I believ the best team in the pacific league is burbank. In the end its going to be a 4 way tie between Bouroughs,Burbank, Muir, and Arcadia

I'm curious to see how Colton does in this new division. They were nasty last year, but lost second round in the ultra competitive Division I.

For the most part, the polls are voted on by coaches and prep writers. But not all coaches vote, only a selected few.

What I dont understand is how Arcadia and Muir get their rankings in the Central Division and who actually votes in the CIF polls. Anyone know the answer to that?
Arcadia got slaughtered by Burbank and will again against Burroughs. Muir barely got past Burbank and basically lost the Pacific League championship game against Burroughs. Burbank is still no where to be found in the rankings. Maybe these were flukes and Burroughs will put up 56 against Burbank?

i agree with you on how Monrovia plays as a team its not just one guy doing the work. And i do know that muir isn't as good as the past i know that. i just feel their talent outnumbers monrovia's talent thats all

PhillyB.

If you have really checked out Muir this year you would know why I give the edge to the Wildcats. I have been to two of their games thus far and unfortunatley they lost Both. The other games that they played and won were give me's. They went to Jefferson high and almost lost to a team that is struggling to win a city game this year. I think that Being that Monrovia has a lot of new and good players that play as a team it would keep Muir off balance all night and thats when the Mistakes begin to happen. And speaking of Athletes pound for pound Monrovia has a better group of pure Athletes. I would love to see a track coach come over to Monrovia and get these guys interested in Track and field. You would be surprised at the outcome. There are a lot of guys who did'nt make the grades this year that may see some action later in the season on the football squad as well. Look at Burbank and tell me that they have as good of athletes as Muir that should give you an indication that Muir is good but Muir is not on the same level this year as the Muirs of the past.

stangfan
RHL really horrible league.... I like that. but i agree with you when it comes to who would win between monrovia/muir.They just have to many talented athletes in skilled positions it will be too much for the cats to handle, but now just hearing about st. francis and their junior wide receiver i can see why fred gave monrovia a slight edge to the number one spot.

observantcat
i did attend the game against crespi. brings back fustrating memories by far but. you've seen st. francis play i havent and maybe we would get them if ur sayin that theri offense is predictable i dont know. how about their team speed? Do they have guys over their that can out run the opposition

PHS is not even the best football team on Sierra Madre Blvd anymore.

We had a good matchup like this back in the ninty's when Muir thought the same way you are thinking now and guess what?....Monrovia WON. We not only WON we WON rather convicingly. Now I look at it this way, You dont have the depth you think you have especially if you think that someone is going to stepp up for Youngblood CV as bad as they are could give you some problems. I was at the Burroughs game and what I saw was Muir Gave up, I will admitt the referee'ing seemed suspect, but Movrovia faces that same kind of situation week to week. Who knows, 'Uncle Buck may not want those fast guys to be his slow nephews team. But regardless you have to keep playing until those flags dont mean a thing.

New York, you're right, but all I control is the blog. But I'm taking your compaint straight to our web designer.

Regardless, Fred, I think it is time to change the picture on the Prep page. Don't you think the picture of Wiggand running through that Swiss Cheese defense of Muir's has been up long enough?

St. Francis lost their top receiver, Kevin Garcia in last week's loss to Crespi, which is one of the reasons I dropped them to No. 2. Garcia broke his ankle and is out the rest of the season - a huge blow to the Knights.
-----
Big M and Stang Fan, having watched Muir against a reasonable opponent instead of Oaks Christian, the Mustangs have some organizational issues. I think player for player, depth for depth, the Mustangs are better. But the Monrovia coaching staff and particularly Garrison is more experienced, so I call it a push. Whoever makes the least mistakes would win it.
How's that for being on the fence.

I'll be the first to admit that Muir is not the Muir of old. You remember, the Muir that absolutely frightened the entire SGV and made a mark on the So. Cal scene. We simply don't have the same number of students we used to. I understand that. But, for BigMLover to say that Muir is a DISTANT third from MONROVIA!!! Come on bro, lets be serious. Everyone on here knows that Monrovia is doing there thing right now in the RHL (Really Horrible League). Great, that's what they are supposed to do. Everyone knows that Muir is beating who they are supposed to and should have beaten Burroughs (and that the old Muir teams would have demolished Burroughs). But they did not for various reasons, some due to their own mistakes and some, as Fred can most certainly tell you, that the referees absolutely contributed to. Whatever, scoreboard, Burroughs won (I promise you we will see them again in the playoffs with a different result). But this I can tell you with extreme confidence: Monrovia can NOT beat Muir. Not on Friday. Not on Saturday. Hell, not on any day of the week. Muir is simply more physical and faster at more positions than Monrovia. Don't get me wrong it would be a good game, BUT Monrovia would never prevail. And I know that we lost to Burroughs and S.F. beat Burroughs, but if Muir is completely healthy and S.F. is completely healthy, Muir wins that matchup 7/8 out of 10 times too.

"st francis has a much stronger schedule than monrovia truth be told"

Philly is right on. I like:
1. St Fran's strength of sked.
2. Monrovia beating up the teams they should.
3. Muir a distant third.

Philly B.Dont be surprised at this ranking, Monrovia has always been up for the test. If you saw the first round game between Monrovia and Crespi you would truly understand what I am saying. I wont say Crespi was not a good team, but Monrovia gave them the game. We had several chances to beat this team and either by bad play calling or refs blowing the whistle on import plays we gave in. Every 3 pointfield goal represented TD that was passed up on in the Red zone. This years team has done a complete 360 and they deserve to be number 1. I have been to a couple of the St. Francis Games and I see what there weakness would be against Monrovia. first their special teams to get them into good field position, and their predictable offensive strategy. Monrovia's defense is the real unsung hero of all of their success. I think they could stop a St. Francis Offense and beat them with special teams and a strong second half offense. I'm getting to tired to keep writing. this line-up looks pretty fair.

im a bit surprised of the rankings monrovia #1 st. francis #2 i dont know... i mean i ride wit monrovia till the end no matter what but st francis has a much stronger schedule than monrovia truth be told. as far as this weeks games goes. in the monrovia/san marino game i expect san marino to think they can pass on us and then sean sparks and tyler thompson lets them know they cant. i'll call tyler in a way a shut down corner because thats what he is. la canada/t.c. in a way i want see LC to upset TC jus to see some sort of tie between LC,SM,and SP. i dont wanna sleep on blair if they can protect their quater back and give him time he can throw the ball down field. so it will be interesting this week. i smell upset some where in the RHL. but not the monrovia game sad to say

I think Pasadena should be in the Top 10 before RHP, La Salle or South Pas.

Think about it, can RHP, La Salle or South Pas beat Pasadena?

Also, it seems a little weird putting Arcadia up there so high, I dont know exactly where they would fit in but #4 at 4-3, and two of those wins were against the Glendale schools. The Top Three are in a class of their own followed by the rest in this town.

If Coach Wheeler is reading this,

The best way to beat San Marino is to run straight at them. Just ram it down their throats, especially with a horse like Peterson. The second you start running sideways (before you have them bottled up) you start playing to their advantage.

The top two teams in the RHL are Monrovia and Temple City. Who will be the 3rd representative?

Blair, So Pas, San Marino, La Canada. I think it is between L C and SM. Can San Marino beat So Pas and La Canada? Meaning can they stop Peterson? We'll see if they can slow Monrovia a bit. They'll lose but what matters is how they defend the run in this game. It will set the tone for L C in what can be done in the S M - L C game. But let's see how this all reveals itself in the the next few weeks.

Fred...

Thanks for the Kelley love... much deserved.

Finchamp is on the money...

We beat La Canada by 38... Blair by 37... and he's calling Monrovia by 36.

I like the trend.

I don't give San Marino much of a chance in their match up with Monrovia, final 48-12 Cats.
