This is a great Blog!

This is a great!

Cal Hi & Golden Knight-
I agree with most of Cal-Hi's picks except the following. Collis (SF) at QB and Ray Arriola (SF) at LB instead of Romero. I think because of Leadership and Statistics the LB's on the all area team should be:

Joe Reisner- TC
Ray Arriola-SF
Joshua Parrish- So. Pas
Albert Arnold- Monrovia

Cal Hi-Sports NAILED IT! Wouuldn't change one selection except Collis at QB.

Player of the year...Lavelle Peterson (easy)

Coach... Mike Mooney (does the most with nothing) p.s. great analysis

QB...Luke Collis (Good season)
RB...Dwight Broadnax (naybe a share with peterson but i doubt it)
WR...Andy Hebblethwaite (most underated player of the area)
WR...Zion Babb/ Armon Binns (great playmakers)
OL...Brian Sumokian, Alex Jimenez, Andrew Roxas (creaters of the parting of the red sea)
DL...Kevin Hess (UCLA)
LB...Josh Parrish/Andy Saldana (Each player has what 80% of their teams tackles)
DB...Lance Mitchelll, Jermaine Thomas, Kevin Wilhm,Troy Whitehead (Shut down NO WAY, but good is an understatment)
K...Sean Kelley (Overated but no one has a leg like this guy)

M.V.P. this is a sure bet. It's Lavelle Peterson. This is the safest bet going unless you're going up against Randy Boal finishing the last doughnut at the A.D. Meeting for La Canada.

We ask a lot of our player every year, but not as much as that top button on Randy's pants.

Richard must have his crack pipe out to not have Lavelle Peterson on his top 25. Genius.

sgvfan

thats exactly why gallagher deserves this award, he didnt change or adjust or hide from the fact that his team wasnt playing thier best football, he stayed commitied kept inspiring and got them to the CHAMPIONSHIP

Two years ago James Eland won the All Area MVP and did not have the best stats in the area. He was the leader on and off of the field for THE BEST TEAM. Think of that before you argue for or against someone. It takes more than just stats to win this award and it does not matter if it is a lineman.

Why does everyone think that Gallagher should be the coach of the year? I am pretty sure they are running the same game plan now as when the were losing. His only big change was putting Jimenez at tackle. His players deserve all the credit because they were the ones that made it happen.

Roxas is the best lineman in the area - Jimenez isn't even close.

kevin hess supporters need to calm down with the trash talk about Andrew Roxas. they claim that Andrew Roxas did not contain hess. this is a blatant fabrication. not only did Andrew Roxas contain him, Andrew Roxas broke hess's foot!!! if the breaking of a bone in an opponents body is not complete domination, i dont know what is.

Anonymous,
Jimenez? again with the MVP - what is in the communion wine over there - he isn't even the second best lineman - that would be the Roxas and Soumakian- note the two lineman on the team list all area team year as Jrs.
This is why it is impossible to take La Salle posts seriously. The MVP is Lavelle Peterson - the guy who rushed for alsmost 4,000 yards and almost 10 yards a carry and 50 TDs over the last 2 years. This award is never going nor should it go to a lineman and if it did it would go to one of the 2 noted above - now stop it before I start thinking that Josh Moore at Poly is a better lineman - at least he has D-1 offers - and a couple more deserving lineman and Jimenex doesn't even make the team.

alll play makers

Frank P,
Did you play for Arcadia?

You should check out Roxas' highlight reels on Rivals.com-talk about hitting people in the mouth.

We should accumulate a list of college prospects, scholarship offers and commitments of our area players thus far.

I'll start us off with the obvious ones.

Commits
Andrew Roxas OL St Francis Washington St.
Zion Babb WR Alhambra Michigan (Grades?)

Recruits
Kevin Hess DE/TE Arcadia
Lance Mitchell QB/DB Muir
David Potts QB Monrovia

Who else?

Where is Hess going? ITS FREAKIN DECEMBER!! Only a few kids commit this early. My rants about Roxas were only in reply to the other SF poster in regards to the one on one match up of Kevin Hess and Roxas. I simply stated my opinion and backed it up with sources.

I'm actually glad Roxas got better as the season progressed. That only makes Hess' accomplishments better from my point of view.

Not very many players from this area get a lot of hype (ie Rivals, Scout, ESPN etc.) and it was good to see Roxas' story unfold. He's a good player with PAC 10 numbers. I'm thinking Hess should be able to go to a school in the same caliber.

Hess doesn't have too much press so not much is certain about him in the recruiting front. I've never met the guy, and surely didn't play next to him so I don't have specific information on is recruitment. Im 28 years old so I have no connection to the high school scene, I'm just an avid football fan and Arcadia is my alma matter.

But I'd love to play devil's advocate before I sign out. Kevin Hess to UCLA anyone? Food for thought: Dwayne Walker (Father of Arcadia WR Kevin Walker ie UCLA Defensive Coordinator & Hot List Canidate for every NFL Team that needs a Defensive Coordinator & most importantly a TROJAN KILLER!! Well JD Booty Killer anyway!) If any coach had the inside scoop on a player it would be UCLA on Kevin Hess. If they recruit him, it would validate my points on Hess being a stud, if they don't maybe my eyes can't see so good anymore. See what Walker has done with DE's Bruce Davis and Justin Hickman!

crazycube,
Give it up. No one is giving the MVP to a lineman. The MVP goes to the MVP to his team - La Canada wouldnt't have won a game without Lavelle. The same can't be said of Jimenez - by the way an excellent player. Lavelle had 3,411 all purpose yards this year alone, 2,442 yards rushing, 30 TDs and 50 TDs in two years, 3,900 yards rushing in two years - averaging 9+ yards a carry over 2 years with the smallest line in the league - it is clear who the SOLE MVP is. Unless Coach Mooney cast his spell yet again over the decision makers as he has so artfully done in the past (like last year - sorry Fred)- again no knock against Coach Mooney - as I have said before I wish we had him - and he is a Trojan - FIGHT ON. All that being said I wish Lavelle had played for SF and if not SF then La Salle - how many more yards would he have had running behind the LS line (and he would have gotten a fine education.) It is actually rare that the MVP of the year goes to the best player who is on the best team. It is an individual award not a team award. I would love for La Salle to win this weekend but delusional posts like yours on this MVP issue is one reason to root against La Salle. Which is not to say that I don't agree with crazycube most of the time - but crazycube's handle for his MVP post should have just been - "crazy". Crazycube quit being crazy. Also,just to note Roxas is the best lineman in the area and has been for the last two - so give it up once and for all - this is getting silly.

FRANK P:
i cant believe you are speaking against roxas from st. francis. I played with him my senior year, when he was a sophomore. He was a beast back then, and im sure more now. i come back to the games just to watch him. sure hess did well against him, but anyone can have a bad game and thats what roxas had. If you watched the rest of st. francis' season, the offensive line did well; especially roxas. He isnt going to play PAC-10 football because he was lucky, he earned it. so dont start running your mouth talking roxas down and dont even think about saying hess is better than him because roxas is going to WSU. wheres hess going?

Ditto, I am sorry, English is my second language :)

I believe that's a typo Anonymous, he means Darryl Carter.

Crazyqube,
Concerning the list you submitted for D-line, did you mean to nominate Darryl Carter of St. Francis? According to Maxpreps Muir doesn't have a player named Dale Carter on their roster.

Goldenknight, I hate to disagree, but I must. The Area MVP should go to the player that has led his team to the FINALS. There is no doubt that LaVelle Peterson is THE BEST running back in this whole Valley and on the top list for all of CIF. However, the La Canada season was over a long time ago, what kind of value is that? On the other hand the La Salle Lancers are headed for the CIF FINALS. The horse that wagon is hitched to is AJ #70 Jimenez. I am not disrispecting La Velle, or for the same matter the rest of the Lancer O and D line at our beloved La Salle. However, if you have seen any of the games La Salle has played including the win over Bishop Diego it was AJ who plastered the Cardinals to the mat, behind him slashed Baeir and thundered the Moose Bury. Over 300 yards in rushing by both backs. The moment #70 went to the O line in game 5 of the season, the team improved its per game yardage over 50 per game. The difference between winning and losing!
Once healthy he has led most of the season in sacks for the Camino Real League and he is in some pretty good company there consdering the juggernaut Verb is. He must constantly be double teamed and does not allow mobile quarterbacks to run free in the back. He garners respect from every coach that game plans against him. He anchors Coach P's defense, and helps keep opponnents close, bending but never breaking. He has the heart of a lion and hits like a Mack Truck. He is the most humblest person ever, as a matter of fact he hates to see all of this regarding his play, since he considers the succes of La Salle to be a TOTAL TEAM EFFORT.
So do you think the MVP should go to some one who is sitting in his couch at home, or some one who is still playing and whose play has been the key in helping his team get to the CIF Division Championship Game?
The answer is obvious.

Fred, I think even Hopkins will tell you Peterson was the MVP of that team last year - remember Hopkins was moved from running back - the position he played the year before when I think Hopkins was MVP of the league. (Check quotes by an unbiased CV coach last year as to who was MVP of that LC team was). Lavelle averaged 9+ yards a carry more than Tsai's 6 something. I really don't have a problem with Hopkins getting MVP for a body of work in HS playing both side of the ball and being so unselfish as to make room for Peterson (they grew up together so Hopkins gets it) at RB as a junior when Hopkins was a senior even though he (Hopkins) was the league MVP at the position - I don't think anyone would have taken Tsai over Peterson at RB (if they would, I would love to play that team). I didn't see the kid from Arcadia - but he did have similar numbers to Peterson - he had 10+ yards per carry and 1,500 total yards - Lavelle averaged 9+ yards per carry last year and over 1,400 - not bad for a guy comming off surgery. I think he is back to full strength this year with 2443 total yards, 3411 all purpose yards and 30 TDs. Anyway last year is water under the bridge - Peterson is the clear and solo MVP this year. Anything less is, with due respect, a travesty in my view.

Has anybody heard about that the refs at the coltan arcadia game thought that there was helium in arcadias footballs because of there punts.

"Further, while Lavelle was racking up 1,436 yards last year, Broadnax did have a wooping 56 yards rushing - that is not a typo."

just to clarify goldenknight, Dwight played WR last year, he ran the ghost pasage against Monrovia and Lompoc and we ran a few reverses to him... so yes you were correct, it was not a typo, but also no he didn't play running back... i do,however, agree with you about Peterson this year though... he should be MVP.

My apologies to Duarte, I have to admit I have not seen you play this year, I will have to make adjustments on this after tonight.

Fred:

You meant Lavelle was hobbled by a coach that would only give him the ball 6 times a games because of reasons only he knows.

Golden night
Very simple, Sushi Tsai outplayed Peterson in the Rio Hondo League and earned co-mvp honors with La Canada's Hopkins, not Peterson. And Bailey was simply the area's best back. I don't think many people would argue with that.
Besides, Peterson was somewhat hobbled last year recovering from his ACL injury.

Fred J,
How did Lavelle Peterson get left off last year's all area team - he ran for over 1,400 yards and averaged 9+ yards a carry - the kid from TC who was all area first team had 6 yards per carry and fewer TDs. I know that Coach Mooney is a master manipulator (just watch how many TC kids are on the Rio all League Team and get special Rio league awards - MVP and so on vs. all other teams - especially LC - LC coaches get worked every year by Coach Mooney on the field and in accolades off the field)and he is master at turning average backs into good ones (like this year and last), but to leave Peterson off the first team all area last year is just the usually LC coaches not sticking up for their players and getting worked by Coach Mooney. I hope that doesn't happen again this year. I think not only is Peterson the unquestionable MVP no one else is close but you owe him for the slight last year. By the way this is in no way critical of Coach Mooney - I wish we had him at SF - can you imagine what he would do with that talent. Further, while Lavelle was racking up 1,436 yards last year, Broadnax did have a wooping 56 yards rushing - that is not a typo. Lavelle should just get the MVP on his body of work alone in HS - 3,876 yards rushing and 50 TDs at over 9 yard a carry - Broadnax 2,237 and 28 TDs - unless we leave in non- capitalistic country that doesn't reward best and treats everyone as equals. Peterson should be the sole MVP of the area.

Well I guess that most RHL supporters by now, must realize the great football team that La Salle is. It has been so far an incredible season. A lot of you thought we would be staisfied just getting to the Semi's. We have prroved you wrong!
Coach Gallaher and Di Fiori are hard for teams to match with their offensive play calling, then also add a good dose of coach Peterson on Defense. It is very hard for a team to beat La Salle, it has to match wits.
Speaking of coaches I want to thank Coach Mooney of TC for inspiring La Salle to win by calling out Verb to take it all. By the way we beat them and just to squelch the rumors running around, Verb was at full strenght with Ayers, Dunn, Lacey, Wilson and Merrit. not to mention Essex and Edison the two stud DE. The same with Monrovia.
We are playing next Friday for the Championship, just thought you all would like to know.
Congratulations to the Maranatha Minutemen for winning tonight also. Perhaps in the next couple of years the 2 teams will play again. It will not be next year since La Salle has the same preseason!!! We get to do this all over again next year. I am looking forward to it.

some of those o-line spots look wrong how about the left tackle from arcadia Lars Guillermo he was getting it done all year him and Andrew Macapagal had devastating double teams and were great pass protectors i nominate them for all league o-linemen

FredJ-
I have been watching the blogs and felt compelled to say a few good words about Ray Arriola at SF. I think he gets overlooked because of the big three of Collis, Roxas and Carter. He had a great season for them and I think he will probably get consideration for All Mission league. He had close to 100 tackles (Max preps does not include the last playoff game stats), 3 interceptions, 3 sacks, 3 fumble recoveries and was the signal caller all year on defense. I dont think many of the other bloggers saw him this year much to back me up but I go to each game every year and he played well.

I will start posting all league teams next week

I agree with just about everyone you got on there Ken P. I do have one disagreement, Ayers is no D-Lineman. He was getting blown off the ball by a bunch of people in the game against La Salle. They moved him to LB the next week and he has been MOPPING dudes up. Subtract Reisner and add Ayers.

Week to week i watch different teams around the area and there are many stars and some in the making. These are some of the big time playmakers i saw from around the area that stood tall for their teams.

Sorry, dchevelle...

The K slot on the All-Area team is taken... Monrovia's Sean Kelley leads the NATION in FGs made... he is, at the very least, All-Area.

Frank P, I'm pretty sure that All-League and All-CIF is decided and announced after everything is said and done. I.E., mid to late december.

is there any possibility that we could get a list of who made all league around the area? what about all cif, is that out yet?

LS Fan, definitely so. Casey is a beast on the O-Line and has definitely gotten better as the season has gone on. He and Quigley are very underrated O-lineman in the division.

Side note-If you saw the LS/Monrovia video highlights, on the last LS touchdown that is Quigley leading through the hole on a pull from his guard spot and he absolutely BLOWS UP #55-great hit!

The all-area teams typically come out the week of Christmas.

Dwight Broadnax (MVP)
Brian Sumokian (one of the areas best)

All you guys with blank O-Line spots - Casey Hilland #76 Sr. 6' 3" 285 lbs. La Salle. Been Making great blocks all year.

Football junkie
You are missing one more school thats still left in the area, and thats the Duarte falcons. They have a real tough game ahead but its la salle, duarte, and then maranatha.

I've heard the same rumor about Walker. That sure would be a surprise considering Arcadia's tradition of 6'4, 6'5 quarterbacks. the Ziska brothers, Drew Wheat, Brian Barker, Travis Gowan, Nick Ponce and I believe their is one more. What a change that would be for Dimalante.

One of the reasons Lavelle Peterson is the "player of the year" is if you look at everybody's list all of the other players picked have other teammates on the list of players as well. Lavelle is the only player you hear of that played for La Canada which means you all don't think he had much help.

This helps me with my vote for Lavelle. No question the "Player of the Year" is Lavelle "The Thrill" Peterson.

Since I've only attended Arcadia and Maranatha games this year, my only qualified suggestions would be:

Arcadia's Kevin Hess --DE

Maranatha's Kyle Delahooke -- K

And a footnote on Delahooke--was one of his kickoffs even returned this year? I sure didn't see one. The kid can blast!

walker took some snaps this year for arcadia in some of their blowout games and he did very well, although when ponce got injured against colton walker came in and ran a qb counter and fumbled. But what most people know was that he was playing the whole 2nd half with a dislocated shoulder, causing him to fumble 3 times. So if he does switch to QB he's showed that he has toughness and experience and can be a huge factor.

I know some kids who go to arcadia, and they all tell me that they hope walker is the qb next year for the apaches. According to them, walker would be a better qb than ponce was this year abd say that is arm is strong and he is smart as well. If he does play quarterback then it should be an exciting season for arcadia.

I also heard about walker switching to QB. Even though walker is extremely fast and agile and also hear that he has a very powerful and accurate arm (better than ponce's???))i dunno if thats such a good idea for the apaches who will he throw to besides #21? He can't run every time. THe only way i see this plan working out is if dimalante switches the offense, which i doubt he'll do. But who knows.

does anyone know the truth behind the rumor of kevan walker switching to QB next year for the apaches!?!?! I've heard around that he is moving from his WR position to lead the arcadia team next year at QB. Does that mean that Arcadia's offense changes to lets say a texas longhorn or west virginia style offense? If anybody gets more word on this PLEASE POST!!

You all must hate,La Salle, Rio and Maranatha. In case you're wondering La Salle and Maranatha are the only two teams left. And yah, Maranatha is a small school, but they still have some athletes, so start giving them some credit

That Macapagal guy from arcadia deservies alot of credit i was watching some films of him he is a very good OF he is way better than those TC guys

Young Mr. Hess-
I am sure you are a great player. I wish you luck in your career and hope to see you in the allstar game.

Frank P-
You watched the game???? The score was 24-0 and it wasn't even that close. Yes we had penalities and made mistakes and still dominated. I am sure Hess is a great player. I only saw him play the one night and I am sure he had a great season for Arcadia. My point was he was not dominate in that game. Whether it was Roxas or his back-up, Hess' performance was not enough..was it? Re-watch the film, your original statement was that Hess had 2-3 sacks which by your own school statistics was wrong!

The folks at my work are going to want to know where all these hits to insidesocal.com and pasadenastarnews.com are coming from. hahahaha.

I really didn't read Hess' comments but they are pretty funny, sounds like an 18 year old wrote them.

After Fred's article, I thought he had a little edge to him but know I am sure he's got some prick in him as well, as well as a little sarcasm.

Scary, the people we sometimes talk smack about now have the ability to talk back as well, a little scary. Kevin Hess is 6'4 245, SF Alum, hope you can match it because he's going to want to know who's been talking about him! hahahahha.

That Macapagal guy from Arcadia is not a bad player. If those TC guys are getting some love, I think he is every bit as good as they are, if not better, theres my Pro-Arcadia Anti-TC bias again. What do you think Hess. Since you've played TC, St Francis, Muir, Burbank and Burroughs, who has given you the most trouble this year? Probably those Colton kids huh? Forgot about those kids, I tend to forget 54-0 games rather quickly.

Yo SF Alum, this is ripped straight from the St. Francis website... SFHS.net!

'Bonds attributed the ten penalties – including three on All-CIF offensive tackle Andrew Roxas - to first-game jitters and timing issues that will be corrected before tomorrow’s night’s game on the road against Crescenta Valley.

“Roxas puts a ton of pressure on himself,� Bonds said. “We probably pumped him up too much all week in practice because he was going against Arcadia’s best player, Kevin Hess. Andrew had a cramping problem in the second half, but he’ll be fine this week.'

Pre game jitters? Timing issues? A cramping problem? This is from a Senior Third Year Starter. Not knowing how to prepare himself is out of the question, SF has every advantage imaginable and their coaching staff boasts some impressive coaches- like a super bowl winning line coach and NUMEROUS former D-1 players. The last I checked, Arcadia has a line coach well beyond his prime because the other 3 d-lineman and the whole o-line played terribly that game.

SF Alum, Alum meaning that you've already graduated high school so I guess I'll assume that, guy, I was at the game and watched it with my own eyes, I don't even think you were at the game from the way your posts read. "who knows is the sack even occurred going against Roxas" I know It was on Roxas. Wanna know how? I watched it HAPPEN! I don't have professional skills watching football, especially in the trenches but I do know when an o lineman is getting his butt thoroughly kicked. After the game he was sitting on his butt in a STRETCHER! THREE holding penalties to go along with a sack. Thats TERRIBLE! 5 tackles with a sack is pretty dang good for ONE HALF of football against ARGUABLY the best Offensive line product we've had in a while, according to 'experts' anyways.

Guy, I was only trying to bring up Kevin Hess of Arcadia, not bash the EFFORTS of others.

How about this... I think Darryl Carter from St Francis is also a stud, and that Riley kid is going to wreak havoc in this town for what the next two years?

Roxas already committed to Washington St., from his profile, I guess the coaches were impressed with him. I think Hess should be considered PAC-10 material as well since he became more and more dominant as the season went on, what do the others think? This isn't some kid with a good motor and people hype him up by saying, 'oh if he was just a littler taller or bigger, HE COULD GO (even though in everyone's mind they know dang well that he's a one and done at the local JC). This guy IS 6'4 and WEIGHS 245 pounds! Thats pretty LEGIT.

It looks like Hess himself is on the board. Fred, isnt there a rule about current players on this board? Or is it allowed now that their season is done. Hess if this is you, has Washington St. been calling you?

HEY TC queen im surprised you were able to climb out of the field VERB buried you in. congratulations on ending your over-hyped season on a pathetic note and sireously how did ayers cleats taste?

Anonymous, You are all talk and no wonder with that impressive vocabulary (you must feel like a big boy using all those naughty words - just like in the movies) - and spelling and grammar what fine D1 school wouldn't want such an intelligent and well - spoken individual representing their school. Class all the way. Opps to get into a D1 school you have to have a measurable SAT score - see you at BK.

TC Princess, Good luck with that GED. You are an embarrassment to yourself and TC. Go Away.

TC Princess....make that a double dip and hold the mustard.

Listen here Knicknax...aka The Princess of TC...aka working at The Hat this June...aka..nice life...aka..."heavily recruited" by Citrus Collge..aka..D-1 prospect on XBox "Campus Legend Mode"...aka...how did Ayers' cleats taste...aka...left your cleats at Centennial...aka...way to stay classy and rep.

Guys guys guys...La Salle is in a weak division...possibly the weakest in the CIFSS...when you lose to teams like san marino, ontario christian, huntington park, and start off 0-5, and you get to the semis, that should tell you something...also, the league they were in is HORRIBLE...st monica didn't win a game, cantwell is historically horrible, mary star is having a miserable year, verb is the only competition, but they had some BAD losses this year....yes La Salle is in the semis, but last year's La Salle team only got to the quarterfinals, adn tehy were MUCHHHH better than this year's team, but in a much stronger league and division...my point exactly...

HSFBfan, apparently the answer to your question is neither Traxbac or parent, but anyone from 91780.

Fred and fellow bloggers, all season long we have said our peace and argued with one another over different issues. We have never resorted to tearing a player down to make a point. It is inconceivable that any one would stoop as low as that.
I feel offended by the comments directed at Matt Kohorst and hope that individuals that put up their comments in this blog, do it responsibly and those that do not please find another venue for your poison.

Who's worse traxbac or proud parent?

SF Alum, you heard it from the kid himself, Kevin Hess. He set the record straight.
Kevin, stay in shape and work hard. We'll need you for the East/West all star game. We can't let the east beat us again.

Proud parent thanks for the spell check - As Chris Rock would say "you do keep it real - REAL STUPID!"

I'm with BigMLover get the 2 year old (aka "Proud Parent") off the board.

Besides acting like a child - proud parent's spelling and grammar is like a child too. What is the age of this kid? My guess is 11 max.

its nice to see when people think they have an idea when they really dont...

::SF ALUM::

first off i didnt play in the second half because i had a broken foot, which you might have known if you actually watched the game... secondly the sack was against roxas and thirdly those stats are correct and if it weren't for 2 holding calls against roxas i would have to go out on a limb and say i would've had 1+2 = 3? sacks
so no doubt st francis did a good job containing me considering 5 tackles in 1 and 1/4 quarters before i hurt me foot is definite containment.....

Again everyone, I apologize for the few idiots posting on the blogs. I don't want them to run it for the rest of us, so if you can stand it until I delete them, I would appreciate it. I will check as often as I can to make sure they're not up long. For those players or schools they seem to be attacking, remember they're just idiots, and like TomS stated, 98 percent of us are interested in supporting prep football, and in healthy and constructive arguments and debates.
Best thing to do is not respond, and let me get rid of them when I see them.
Again, thanks for all your patience.

If the Camino Real was weaker this year, then howcome they have all gone farther then any of the teams last year from the league. And plus, if last years LS team was in fact better, howcome they did not win league like this years team?

What happened to this blog all of a sudden. Now that LS wins everyone starts to bash this one player in paticular? Come on people let the kid play, and if you have to criticize him, do not make it personal. This so called parent of a D1 athlete, please go away and stick to your son's college football and let the QB just keep playing. He does not have to have big play possibility, though I think he showed it in the Monrovia game if you were there, but he is consistent and now with some experience shows some poise and confidence with his throws. Fred, thanks for deleting these comments that some losers made about this kid, this time of the year should be an exciting time for the QB and his team for making it this far, so lets all be happy for them and not criticize the players and especially their families. Just stick to football on here, no personal attacks on people.

Does playing NCAA football in "Campus Legend" mode on X-Box qualify you for being a D-1 football player? I have a feeling this guy's zip code is 91780.

He Fred: Looks like you’ve got some more deleting to do. Sorry to see a few going over the line but remember 98% of us on here are making clean remarks

Sure Arcadia's record would of been better if they were in the easy RHL..didn't you hear about tc Arcadia scrimmage before the season Arcadia destoyed tc which shows how easy of a season arcadia would of had...If any of RHL teams were in the pacific league, they wouldn't be able to hang with Burroughs, burbank or muir

D1 player whats your name? what college do you play for? im sure you cant even come up with those answers because you are not even playing college football. anyone with any knowledge of high school football would know that if oaks christian and oak park were still in the division they would hands down fight for the title. OAKS CHRISTIAN WOULD BEAT ANY TEAM IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF CALIFORNIA!!!!! you said la salle is not good at all?? W's against TC, Monrovia, Verb, Fillmore??? are you sireous? i know your just another bitter TC fan but dont take your anger out and pose as a football player.

Thx Fred... it stinks bein' the man...

I've eliminated several ridiculous comments from this blog attacking players. Please, don't ruin it for everyone by attacking the kids. That's not what this blog is for. We've had a great time all year, let's not spoil it now.

people who come on here to talk smack about high school football teams are strictly pathetic. go lancers

This disgusts me all this smack talking and all u ex football plyers trying to relive your highschool dreams .... i dont wanna start to call out names but u know EXACTLY who you are ... what do u take lasalle for... The fact is that were in the SEMis and you or anyone else before us is not. We did something no other team has ever been able to accomplish doesnt that speak wonders..... We beat quailty teams and if im not mistaking WON A LEAGUE TITLE... so please stop trying to relive your highschool years ... and lets put an end to this right now ... THNAK U

Fred...

Get this "parent" off the blog... he makes me sick.

Well said Fred - La Salle should be proud of what they have accomplished, as well, of course, Maranatha.

Keeping it positive is keeping it real - they are kids, and we set the example. Who are you going to pick on next - I just can't wait to see.

I can't believe all the La Salle bashers. Grow up, your teams lost and they're still playing. This is a competitive division for the Lancers, and they should be congratulated for reaching the semis. What they've done after starting 0-5 is remarkable and for anyone to have a problem with it is simply jealous.

Minuteman Fan,

You can keep it positive and I'll keep it real.

Minuteman Fan,

You can keep it positive and I'll keep it real.

Proud Parent - we try to keep it positive on the blogs - especially when we are talking directly about the kids - so act like a adult, please.

Hey fromer D-1 player,

Maybe they changed how the word former is spelled or you just can't spell I dont know which one it is anyways... I'll stay on the board just to listen to all the whiners from La Salle after they get stomped on. The only problem is I have to listen to the La Salle people say, "Oh don't worry it was a good run." and stuff like that. Well it was a good run that included losses to San Marino, Eagle Rock, Huntington Park, and Ontario Christian. Well that just solidifies that it was just a good run, but it cannot be said that it was a good season. Good seasons dont have 6 losses sorry. O and I run this board so just keep talking and I'll just keep it real.

Proud parent you sound like a child - grow up or get off the board.

Geez, let La Salle and their players have their days - who knows what year has had better teams this year or last - last year's running backs couldn't holds a candle to this years - so what - does that mean last year's teams' were weak - no. My view this is the best top to bottom the area has been in a while. By the way I am not a La Salle fan.

Let's be honest guys...

La Salle's team this year happened to run into a boatload of luck. Their league was extremely weak this year compared to last year, and their division was a lot weaker as well. The Rio Hondo teams in the same division are extremely weak, too and Oaks Christian, Oak Park, Nordhoff, etc. are not in the division anymore. Had this year's La Salle team been there last year, there is no way they would have beaten a team like Oaks Christian or Oak Park or any team of that nature. Had last year's La Salle team with QB George Colton , who played against much tougher competition, put up far superior stats, and was overall a superior player, played in this year's division, there's no way they would not have won the title! I can assure you this is the case. QB Kohorst is a below average quarterback --simply said. The competition in the league and division is so weak that it's only natural to think La Salle is good. Compare them to a team that might go 12-0 in the Sun Belt Conference in college football. C'mon, La Salle lost 5 straight games, and to teams that themselves are not good at all i.e. San Marino. If La Salle wins the championship it's more of a reminder how weak their division is rather than how good their team is. As for Kohorst's alleged scholarship at San Diego, well, I know he didn't stand out at La Salle for baseball so there must be something else to the story...

Proud Parent
Glad you're not affiliated with the teams I like--you've been blinded into stupidity with those proud comments. Obviously based on your pius comments you should stay out of this blog and continue to follow Oaks Christian.

Proud parent? - oh brother!

Nice post, Jim.

Lavelle "the thrill" Peterson is still the one player you don't want to tackle one on one.

Their are a lot of kids close to Lavelle, but they don't quite pack the punch that 5'9 210 pound frame brings. Hey I'll be the first to tell you this has been a great year for most of the programs that compete in the area. It was a joy watching Temple City out coach a lot of teams. It was awesome to watch Monrovia line up so many skilled players. Seeing South Pasadena hanging tough in the Rio Hondo league was a lot of fun as well. Not to mention San Marino bringing it this year. It was a pleasure to see most of the coaches in the area go the extra mile and work so hard at making these kids great students and football players as well.

The coaches who had a lot of seniors playing means you run a great program and you deserve credit for putting it together and creating the atmosphere where seniors want to play the greatest sport as far a high school goes.

If you are a coach that sees great players leaving during their junior and senior years you need to take a look at your program and fix it because every kid deserves a chance to participate in high school football.

Good luck to all of the football players and coaches as the go on in the future. Remember its all about the love of the game.

You've got to love the game first and the rest will come easy.

Proud Parent????

Are you for real? NO parent speaks like that of a kid... please don't bash a kid for the sake of this thread...

La Salle is for real... the only thing fake is your pretense of football knowledge.

Pick one, maybe two! Hoover is not part of the Star News coverage area that these selections are about.

SIX Arcadia players! How far did they go in the playoffs? Let me guess...you are an Apache?

This list is for the best players in their respective positions in the area. If these six were so good wouldn't Arcadia's record have been better?

This is coming from a recently graduated all area player who has played against many of these kids

these players should be on the list no matter what

lavelle peterson
dwight broadnax
andrew roxas
joshua parish
lance mitchell
zion babb
anthony brown

and even though he had an off seasons still take into consideration san gabriels saile ramirez who still put up numbers but led the area last year in almost every passing category

Some of these kids from hoover need some credit

Football fans,
I must say that i agree with the comments previously posted about the Lasalle QB Matt Kohorst for the QB of the year.... i wouldnt go as far as to make those rash comments but honestly ... look on the reality side of things he lost to SAN MARINO.... and they claim to be the RHL champs. Get out of here with that! Real players win games and single handedly affect the outcome of games. Thats something he does not have the capability to do. Do to his poor athletic ability and decesion making. sure he has a decent arm but in the end the award should be given to a athlete with the ability to chnage the outcome of a game with big play ability something that he deosnt posses

Sean Kelley is a great kicker, but has definitely had more opportunities for field goals. Delahooke has hit at least 8 kickoffs through the uprights. I don't know if anyone else has done that. Delahooke doesn't get the same publicity because he's at a smaller school, even though they're in the Semi's.

Minuteman Fan
I'm dreading a trip to our state capitol on Friday and return at 6:50--just win and I will be at the final. The RHP guys are missing D-XIII this year--only got to play in it for 4 years. Something odd about a school with only 90 boys and girls having to move up but RHP begged to move out of 8-man football just a half a dozen years ago, so with it comes all of the challenges not least of which is size and depth. It's up to Maranatha now to keep the crown in the SGV.

Yes - I was a little heated when I posted earlier, and I said I contradicted myself by bashing, I admitted that. Anywho, good luck to all the teams this week and have a safe rest of the season!

Finchamp - we would love to have you - and your family - we can always use another great athlete and another great ahtletic supporter - can you make our game this Friday??

AZK,
There is no excuse to bash a kid to make a point regardless of the sins of the father and you didn't need to - almost as bad as anonymous' rant and would have been except you didn't mention the kid's name.

Minuteman Fan--

And a great fan you are. Just keeping you tempered...and keeping things civil before next year's match-up. That and there's a chance my daughter could become a Minute(woman?) in the future with her skills on the soccer field and as a runner--Ravasdy knows us well.

CASEY HILLAND AND PAT GROCHMOL FOR O LINE AND SS RESPECTIVELY!

P Finchamp - nice to hear from you - I realize that that stats on our kids are similiar to those of others in the area - including the fine players at RHP - however - as " Minuteman Fan" - it is my place to put our kids out there for consideration - not withstanding the other players in the area - in my book - any kid that adds athletics to his or her academic schedule is to be commended - it makes for a well-rounded and hopefully positive high school experience - any extra-curricular activity for that matter. Heck - my kid does not even play football - I just love prep sports and rooting for "our" school.

Yes I realize I contradicted myself by saying that there should be no bashing, but I said what needed to be said, only positive comments from here on out.

Thank you High School Fan ... summed up what I was wanting to say.

Before you think I am related or anything, I am coming from seeing Kohorst work hard.

Adding to what has been said - Kohorst, while being a great 3-sport athlete, is also great in the classroom. Not many athletes who compete and win @ 3 sports, are able to maintain high academic rigor throughout their career in high school. Remember people, they are Student-Athletes; Kohorst studies hard, both on and off the field, and his winning performances go to show how hard he works.

I agree with Jim Mulligan - that kid was good in Jr. All American - and he is good now - is he the MVP of the area - absolutely not - is he a better QB than Collis - no. Is he better than Sherman at Poly or Potts - I don't think so - just my opinion. Is he as good as Royce Stutrville at San Marino - yes. Has he made mistakes on the field - yes like every kid playing. Is he one of the better QBs in the area - absolutely yes. Is he a good athlete - yes. Has he worked hard - yes. Have his parents helped him - of course - just like all parents. Are his parent rich - yes. Does that make many envious and bitter - apparently yes. Would La Salle be in the semis without him - No.
Is this a good kid with a great attitude, polite, well mannered, courteous and not spoiled by growing up in affluent family - yes. There is no way to take issue with that kid. There is another agenda working here.
While the comments are offensive - I wouldn't be offended as a parent as it doesn't reflect anything close to resembling reality. So over the top with inaccuracies,spitefulness and jelousy that it is actualy telling of the bitterness and ignorance of the individual who wrote it. Just ignore it.

Minuteman Fan

You know I like you guys and I have referenced your persistent support of Maranatha graciously many times. However I think you should check out the stats on my son and Mike Galvan at RH Prep as they relate to Delahooke and Vanderlaan. After doing so I hope you will acknowledge that there are likely several athletes in the area with equivalent or better stats.

In response to the Anonymous post @ 3:10am...get a life. Obviously you are upset that your son was not a very QB during his time, and upset that he was not a D-1 athlete (although “someone� spread rumors that he was….HAHAHHAHA that kept me laughing for a long time), upset that he was not as good as your hyped your son up to be... well there are not too many 5'Nothing'' D-1 athletes out there, so stop trying to put other people down just because you or your son was no good. You know who I am talking about … so get over yourself, get over your son, he was a decent athlete, but his college career ended up right where it should, nowhere.

I am tried of seeing bashing here on the forums, we are supposed to root on these players, not bash others. Another thing, when you know the facts, feel free to tell me, but until then, keep the comments to yourself, you don't even have the b*lls to let us know who you are.

Kohorst is a great 3-sport athlete. He led his team to the CIF Semi's? Oh yea he did, but he did not do it on his own, he had a great team all around him, .

The QB of football teams either get all the praise, or all the downfall. Kohorst would not have done as well if he did not have a great OL or Defense, but you do have to have some skill to throw for as many yards as he has, and as many TDs. I am not saying he is the best athlete, but I think people need to consider how well teams have done with their leaders, not just based on pure athleticism. There will always be a better athlete out there, but people also need to consider accomplishments. I think Kohorst is a great athlete who deserves this award. He stepped up to take his team farther than any other previous LSHS QB, and they have a very good chance of going to the CIF Championships.

My vote is for Kohorst @ QB - he deserves it.

The team should have these players from LS
Alex Jimenez
Tommy Quigley
Casey Hilland
David Baier
Andy Saldana

Then from other teams
Broadnax
Babb
Delahooke
Parrish

and to go out on a limb from LS Julius Garcia

Well said Pasadena guy - these are kids and they deserve our respect - Congratulations to Matt Kohorst on a great season - and more inportantly - he sounds like a terrific young man - Good Luck to La Salle!

I would have to agree that any comments expressed about an athlete should have a positive spin. If these were professional athletes that would be one thing, but to put a high schooler is just down right...well...childish! I have no relation to Matt K. nor have ever even met him, but know that he deserves more respect than he is getting. While we engage in some good ole politicing here, let's keep it fun.

NO one gives that DB Riley from La Salle any credit. I was on the Monrovia side and Davis knee injury wasnt the reason why Riley caught him. Riley was at least 20 yards behind Davis and Riley caught him. Riley is a fast guy and i did some reseach on him and he is the Division 800 winner. He pressed the reciever that Potts was goin to throw to and that led to the Interception. Shut down corner? I think so...

La Salle doesnt get enough credit they deserve either. Im not from La Salle if you think I am. I'm a Florida native who just so happened to go to the game...Give La Salle the credit they deserve and all the other teams that are out stop your bitching!

I just reviwed the comments about Matt Kohorst in this blog. Matt played for me during his Gladiator days and although he didn't play quarterback he started on a very good football team. He always gave everything he had at every practice and every game. He never missed a practice and the only words I ever heard him say were "yes sir" and "yes coach".

I don't know the parents all that well, but I know Matt and I'm proud to have had the opportunity to have coached such a wonderful Son, Student and Athlete in that order.

For anyone to write things about a kid who is such a wonderful roll modle to his family, school and community is just not fair and not right.

I for one will be wishing Matt all the luck this Friday. I always find it funny how people can be so mean spirited when others are achieving success.

Jim Mulligan

The one thing all of us haven't factored in is the politics of the voting. It happens every year. You have to think of what makes really no sense and then add that to your voting and you will come up with some of the picks when it all rolls out.

So what is going to be the most outrageous pick? I'm not sure, but I know it's going to happen.

Good luck to all the players being considered. I think Roger Romero as a DB for LaCanada should be on the all area team.

I am offended by the petty remarks by Anonymous about my son, Matt Kohorst. Matt has worked hard for his accomplishments in football, basketball and baseball. He broke the season passing records at La Salle with no one's help, other than his teammates and coaches.

And, Matt's baseball successes have nothing to do with me. I have no connection with USD and have not helped Matt be recognized in any endeavor (other than being a supportive parent). Maybe the USD coaches were impressed by his size (6'3", 200 lbs), pitching accomplishments (league most valuable pitcher, all-area selection, pitcher for Trombly Braves - Connie Mack World Series runner-up, pitcher on Boston Red Sox scout team), and multiple sport success.

Admittedly, I am a biased observer. I believe that Matt has had as good a season as any QB in the area. And, he has improved with every game. Is he the fastest QB or strongest-armed QB in the area? Probably not. Then again, Tom Brady doesn't have the athleticism of Michael Vick; he just wins big games.

GO LANCERS!

Confused...

Although I like Coach Smith at So Pas... I believe his defensive stats are a bit padded... they are every year...

And as far as my RHL leaning... I can only comment on the players I ACTUALLY SAW... unlike some who may look at stats only and nominate...

Granted... it is a bit narrow... but it is honest...

What happened to Kohorst for QB? He is the only qb still left in the area in the semi's. Give his O line credit, they are great too they need some considerations also for all area.

bigMlover....where the HECK is josh parrish on ur roster?!?!? i c ur a big fan of the RHL...a little too much if u ask me....OVERRATED!....

I expected a better retort than that...

Hyperbole, I learned from the best!!!

Unfortunate but true re: Poly and stats - hard to prove point in this forum. Collis is the best of the rest at QB - just so upset the way that school alway seems to let me down - especially this year - maybe be clouding my view of him. Peterson's dominating performance may also be clouding view on the expectations for the all- area QB in seeing this as a down year for QBs. Also, agree on Babb not being anywhere near the all area team.

C'mon Pasa Guy...

Love's best games were against Twin Pines (1-9), Flintridge Prep (4-5) and Campbell Hall (3-7)... his totals against these teams was 732 yds rushing and 11 TDs... nearly half of his total stats.

James Davis had his best games against La Salle (in the playoffs), West Covina, and Arcadia...

P Guy... your argument for Love has to be better than that...

i remember seeing lance mitchell at middle LB in the second half of the season

While there are a plethora of great RB's this year, if we go according to stats and team value then Mark Love from Maranatha gets the nod over James Davis from Monrovia.
Mark Love:1,473 yards
22 TD's
134 Points Total
In addition Mark and Maranatha are still playing this week in the semi's.

Cubano...

Your jubilance is leading you to exaggeration...

1. Davis' touches were limited due to a knee bruise he received while contacting the hard field during his fumble in the 2qtr. He missed the rest of the half... and it did slow him in the 2half. (Probably why Riley could reach him on that long run).

2. Sparks' fumble happened in traffic on a KO return... not a defensive hit.

3. Potts threw 1 int... an under-thrown pass and a good play by the DB... NOT as a result of the rush (he wasn't hurried).

The Lancer performance was good... and the win well-earned... but the hyperbole is a bit much.

Keep it real... please.

Zion Babb belongs nowhere near an All-Area team. When his team needed him most, he couldn't even pass half of his classes to be academically eligible. Another player who did what they were supposed to in the classroom and cared enough about their teammates to focus on their responsibilities off the field is more deserving of that spot.

'nuff said

QB controversy?

I don't know if there was a QB in the area that carried their team like Peterson did as RB for LC but I don't really think it was such a down year.

I saw Sherman beat RH Prep but I didn't view him as dominant. To further the challenge for his consideration is the fact that Poly doesn't think enough to report their stats to MaxPreps like 95% of the other schools do. So without actual stats to make such a judgement how does one select him over others with published numbers?

LS fan, I am with you brother. Those guys are the reason why La Salle plays so well. There is also Bill Preston and the most improved player on the team Matt Mendoza at Center. You never see them get silly fouls, false starts, illigegal motion, etc. They are physical and smart players. I believe the Lasncers have the best O line hands down in the Division. Any team that can beat Monrovia, TC and Verb and drop 4 to 5 touchdowns on them does not do it with smoke and mirrors, they do it with a great O Line blocking, protecting, opening up holes.

Observancat, perhaps the reason Davis had minimal carries against La Salle was due to the fact that he was hit so hard they had to take him out of the game! the hit on Sparks, by Michael Palffy,coughed up the ball! If that is not tough defense and hard hitting, I don't know what is. After being sacked by Jimenez, Potts became erratic, developed a bit of happy feet, failing to pass over 100yds and throwing a couple of picks!! You want more cowbell!!!!

I don't blog to much, I just wanted to get Casey's name out there. I wasn't saying Jimenez didn't deserve it at all. Just trying to point out that in my opinion He's a DL nominee, just because that is where he has made the largest impact. Tommy Quigley has done a great job all year. If you look in the paper after the game you will see the second picture, in B&W on page 2, Casey Hilland has made a great pancake block, that allowed Bury to walk right into the endzone. I'm not trying to detract from Jimenez or Quigley, merely trying to point out a guy who has made some good blocks this year.
