| | Comments (58) |

Here's Scott Galetti's update on the Pasadena Star-News area boys volleyball teams.
Lancers peaking at right time
La Salle High School (19-8, 5-1) heads into the final week of the season on a roll. The Lancers, ranked No. 9 in the CIF-Southern Section Division V poll, followed up a four-game win over Bosco Tech by defeating Bishop Amat in four games last week. Mike Carlson recorded 11 kills, seven blocks and six aces, Joe Evanilla notched 11 kills and Mike Fey put down 10 kills and added four blocks to lead the Lancers. La Salle will host No. 2 Bishop Montgomery Tuesday with a share of the league title on the line.

Title there for Tigers' taking
South Pasadena (15-3, 6-0), ranked No. 8 in Division IV, swept Gabrielino and La Canada last week and enters the final week of the season one win away from clinching the Rio Hondo League title. The Tigers also got some well-needed tournament experience by reaching the championship finals of the 16-team Crescenta Valley tournament Saturday where they lost to Brentwood in two games (25-23, 25-13). Brentwood's Tito Rothstein was the Most Valuable Player of the tournament. Kevin Kuramoto and Mark Stochl both made the all-tournament team. The Tigers upset Paraclete (No. 4 in Division III) in three games, 27-25,19-25, 16-14 in the semifinals. South Pasadena was trailing 14-12 before scoring the final three points to win. In the quarterfinals, the Tigers beat Los Altos, the No. 5 team in Division III, 25-22, 10-25, 15-12. They needed to defeat Oak Park, the No. 7 team in Division IV, just to advance out of pool play. South Pasadena can clinch the Rio Hondo League title on Tuesday with a home match against San Marino. Tigers coach Todd Terzian is pulling out all stops by inviting KIIS-FM's DJ Shy to play music throughout the contest. A win would be music to both team's ears.

I am not truly sure if top practices contain emerged nearly things like that, except I am sure that your great work is obviously recognized. I was wondering if you offer several subscription near your RSS feeds because I would be very concerned.

Tremendous article, numerous good quality information. I am about to show my pals and ask them what they think.

Love all the opinions expressed here! How is everyone? Love how everyone expresses whatr they feel :)

The tights out there this wintertime are sure to bring a smile to the saddest of faces.

Quilted Handbags and purses are two products that are very important for us, our significant and important things like money, can be obtained, documents, identity cards, visas, passports and much safer. It is generally assumed that the pockets of men and women are used are used by portfolio companies and design their products accordingly. Some companies are also very popular seasonal collections are made of materials for the season. These products are usually sold very well.

Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Tim Scott of South Carolina, who earned endorsements with Sarah Palin and guidance from tea party activists, are part of a newly approved 22-member team faced with making new guidelines and additionally smoothing the GOP’s adjustment from minority to majority.

Lohan Should go to Rehabilitate Today, She's simply doing this for a stunt to diminish her sentencing in Oct if not entirely keep away from any incarceration. She actually is so crystal clear and predictable.

Lindsay Lohan “I have certainly not abused prescriptions. I never have – never in my life. I've no need. It is not who I am,” Lohan says. “I’ve admitted to the things which I’ve done – to, you already know, dabbling in some things and seeking things ’cause I used to be young and interested and assumed it absolutely was like, o . k, ’cause some people used to do it and other people use it in front of me. And I see what came in my life considering of it.”

I know. It is usually very hard to know the difference between both of them. Both are United states haters, hell bent on it’s deterioration. The two of them criticize America and People in america persistently. What follows is a hint, Barak is definitely the one at the moment being successful in doing damage to The u . s.

Lindsay Lohan just is not going anywhere which could prevent her from filming in November, so again, I call Baloney to this extreme extensive inpatient treatment tripe. There is no way the woman or her mama will pass up this chance to make dollar. And needlessly to say she wouldn't loathe that scram band a sufficient amount of to give up the jack and coke and live without stuffing sh*t up her cruddy nose.

Stupid is often as stupid does...this event is actually a joke. Lindsay Lohan will go onto do harmful drugs because of the fact your girl wouldn't "get it"...The entire court procedure is a joke. Why don'tyou put her in some jail in Cincinnati or somewhere else in Ohio where there is no overcrowding and there is no stupid system that consistently let's these individuals get away with ****. At least if this lady will keep on to do detrimental drugs she needs to be "savvy" about it and not simply get arrested...otherwise, continue on with what you're doing Lindsay and let us get rid of you inside Afghanistan with terribly brave troops which are losing their lives on daily basis to provide you your dumb so-called "freedom".

WingNutbag Sharron Angle makes use of twilight zone fable scare tactics in hopes of motivating votes of ignorant aging population.

Lohan Goes to Rehab Today,. Translation, this woman is calling all of the shots which can proceed to create a mockery in the judicial program. She's going to do the rehab thing unless she does not need to have to dope test ever again and then suddenly take a 3 day binge.

Was in fact the booing of Sarah Palin on last night of 'Dancing With the Stars' incorrect? definitely do not like Sarah Palin, just don't pick up her publication. Please don't end up her Facebook companion. Don’t vote for her but you should have some good manners, booing can be so impolite.

I am sure. It is usually truly difficult to differentiate between the two of these. Both being Usa haters, hell bent on it’s destruction. Both equally criticize Our great country and People in america ceaselessly. What follows is a hint, The president might be the one at the moment succeeding in destroying Usa.

Was the booing of Sarah Palin on previous nights 'Dancing With the Stars' incorrect? just don't like Sarah Palin, don’t pay money for her publication. Seriously do not be her Facebook friend. Never vote for her but if possible incorporate some good manners, booing can be so irritating.

Today, Rush set up videos of Barak and Hillary Clingon along with other Dems after played videos from Ahmadinejad’s presentation and pointed out that they each repeat the same things when talking about The country and capitalism.

Lohan blames part of her worries on the tabloids idealizing hard partying super stars, expressing “I would look up to those young women … the Britneys and whichever. And I could be like, I would like to be like that.” Lohan went on to state, “I see where that has got me now,” she says, “and I really don't want it.”

Lindsay Lohan “I’ve not ever abused prescribed drugs. I never have – never during my life. I've no need. It is not who I am,” Lohan says. “I’ve admitted to the things that I have done – to, you will know, dabbling in certain things and looking things ’cause I used to be young and questioning and considered it was like, ok, ’cause the rest were doing it and folks use it in front of me. And I see what took place in my life simply because of it.”

Okay people, Lindsay Lohan has returned to her vintage ways….She admitted to failing a court-ordered dope test last week. She tweeted this: “This was certainly a setback for me personally nonetheless I am taking responsibility for my activities and So i am willing to face the consequences.” So, maybe just putting her in jail for 14 days and treatment for even less wasn’t the proper idea!

Excellent overall performance through Jennifer Gray on "Dancing with the actual Stars"! Psychological moment when talking about Meat Swayze! We all miss him or her!

shall find the braveness to inform Sanchez don't add mayonnaise in to the corned beef on rye? He's from Miami. You would feel he would be aware.

Rick Sanchez went down as a sucka versus Jon Stewart - I mistrust this is the last i will see of that person, dude is similar to a character from Anchorman.

I wish to the actual night. But I want to remain up as well as listen to Mumford & Sons. Choosing the second.

Rick Sanchez wiped out could be com-cast will wise up & shed maddcow ,Olberman,Schultz & Matthews from their news, I have a long list from which to select

It's really Shameful that any of us allow for Extremist Foreign Political Characters on our soil after numerous years of hatred towards our nation. America should escape the UN and show everyone of these extremists our thoughts of there stupid philosophy. Qaddafi, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, and others have far to long been welcomed to our Sacred and Exceptional nation. I only say Enough is enough, Close up our doors to those Hateful Bastards and Say Never again to the U.N. Leave, your NOT nor have never been welcomed.

Lindsay Lohan Goes to Rehabilitate Today,. it's merely a ploy to lessen the incarceration so that the judge will probably be lax with her. Soft rehabilitation is sooo superior to prison, might be the judge do not give her any incarceration on the grounds that he will be so happy!

Stupid is really as stupid does...this event can be described as joke. Lindsay Lohan goes on to do substances simply because the lady does not "get it"...The existing legal procedure is a joke. How about put the girl in some prison in Cincinnati or elsewhere in Ohio where there is no overcrowding and there is no foolish program that usually lets these individuals get away with ****. At the least if the woman will probably go on to do harmful drugs she has to be "smart" about it not get arrested...otherwise, go on with what you're doing Lindsay and we'll drop you in Afghanistan with really daring soldiers who’re losing their life day after day to provide you with your ignorant so-called "freedom".

Simultaneously Obama and Ahmadinejad are plagued with uppity peasants. The president with this Tea Party. Ahmadinejad with the Green Revolution this is certainly ludicrous.

Lindsay Lohan Should go to Rehabilitation Today. Shrewd decision perhaps being in rehabilitate usually means she can't breach her bail conditions and be thrown in gaol prior to the case. If at a hearing her single violation was in fact determined to remain the one failed illegal substance test then a sentence must be one month in prison and that is it.

There seems to be a blast outside the Ulster Bank in Derry area.

Both of Barack obama and Ahmadinejad are inundated with uppity peasants. The president with this Tea Party. Ahmadinejad in the Green Revolution truly bizarre.

Hugo Garcy said:

There's no doubt that Obama likely will be wasting his time refuting Ahmadinejad due to the fact a large amount of American’s were actually lumping Ahmadinejad together in the same class with Obama—then again if President obama is trusted, and who knows so, Perhaps now is the one instance that Barak is not going to fault Bush.

Lohan Is going to Rehab Today, She will be out by Friday. What is needed is two or three days of feeling "good", and she's going to really feel she will try it by herself. Had the experience... done that! (Am i able to get her physician's contact number? I do have ADD).

Lohan Will Go to Treatment Today, one month later she'll be right back at it. Shame about the "star struck" legal courts for empowering this woman to trash her life. In this case she is deserving of discipline not treatment.

Okay men and women, Lohan is back to her vintage ways….Lindsay Lohan admitted to not passing a court-ordered drug test a week ago. She tweeted the next: “This was certainly a setback for me personally but yet I am taking responsibility for my behavior and So i am ready to face the consequences.” Which means that, maybe merely putting her in jail for 2 weeks and rehab for less was not the best idea!

Excellent! Ahmadinejad did us a favor! Each of us anxiously delude our own selves into considering this person (and those who applaud him) are fit to get thought of as respectable everyday people, he spits in our face to tell us we are (once again) fooling our-self.

I'm not upset, envious, sour, or alarmed enough regarding this matter to express a whole lot however i have a downside to hollywood super stars.

Celebrities hi-jinks ordinarily are not news. I wouldn't like how ignorant famous and rich folk are generally.

I can't help but think there exists more useful things toward which we should be directing our interest and our resources. Just how many publication pages are wasted with full-color snaps of various super stars, and how much data transfer useage is sacrificed daily by constant ramblings of public figure groupies?

South Pasadena defeated Gabrielino in four games to win its fourth Rio Hondo League title since 2000.

Todd Terzian said:

San Marino in 4. Tied 1 game all until Senior Setter and Team Captain Kevin Kuramoto for SP had to go to emergency room to get 7 stitches on a freak accident while blocking. SP must beat Gabrielino on Thursday at 4pm to win the RHL outright. If SP loses, then 3 way tie for first and then a coin flip to decide who gets CIF 1 2 or 3 spot.

I hope La Salle can make a run in the playoffs. I know there are at least three people at our school that know we actually play, but we are very excited to represent the wonderful sport of volleyball.
Sincerely,

I want you to know I am very excited that we're finally getting recognized as a real athlete. In the past, its ONLY football, basketball and baseball players who get the respect as true athletes and thanks to you, we now are beginning to get the respect we deserve.

unathletic volleyball player

this is riveting chat. I can't tell you how many people are excited about being able to chat about volleyball. I know, for myself, that there is at least one other person in the city of Arcadia who has viewed this blog..so, things are looking up. When is George Lukas coming out with another Star Wars? Is Star Trek going on a final voyage? Live long and prosper.

Todd Terzian,
Congrats on getting to the finals of the tourney. La Salle played Brentwood last week, and their big hitter, (Tito) is easily the best that the Lancers have faced this year. He can really fly from the back row, wind up, and crush the ball. Also glad to hear that San Marino did well over the weekend.
The Lancers have a big game on Tues. also, but I might swing by So Pas before and catch some of your game. When we played the Tigers this year I enjoyed saying hello to my old basketball coach from Pasadena HS, Coach Terzian.

Fred,

You have got to help us on the softball page please. There is someone terrorizing the page with serious hate talk.

Thanks again Scott for the well rounded coverage of Star News area boys volleyball. The top local teams are hot right now. San Marino played lights out in the CV Tourney Silver Division on Sat. They didnt even drop a game and it wasnt an easy road. Their really playing well. South Pas played our best volleyball of the season and since the 2005 CIF Finals run at the CV Tourney on Fri and Sat. It would be tough for anyone in Div 4 and that includes Oaks Christian to defeat Oak Park, Los Altos and then Paraclete in succession. We were pretty much out on our feet by the Finals against Brentwood. We gave game one everything and actually had a swing to tie it at 24 all in game one, but Tournamment MVP Tito Rothstein dug our outside hitter and then hit a rocket out of the backrow to take the game 25-23. Rothstein is the best individual player that we've faced this season. He can do it all from finesse to power. He's also got a high volleyball IQ, as far as feel for the game. The San Marino at South Pas game on Tuesday at South Pas at 4 pm should be one of the best all local team matches of the '07 season. The rivalry dates back 25+ years in boys volleyball, the Rio Hondo League Championship is on the line and celebrity dj "DJ Shy" from KISS FM (http://www.myspace.com/djshy) will be spinning her turntables for the pre-game, during timeouts and post-game. We're going to pull out most of the stands for this one, as we're expecting a great turnout from both San Marino and South Pas fans.

If it weren't for the fact its in the toughest Division (Division II), Arcadia would have a good shot at a long run. They still could make some noise in the postseason.

San Gabriel could go far in Division III, but a title could be tough. Then San Gabriel does know what it takes to make a long run, having reached the title match in 2003.

South Pasadena could be a dangerous team come playoff time. The Tigers reached the Division IV championship match in 2005. And Pasadena Poly was runner-up in 2004 and 2005 and could make a run.

La Salle could be a surprise team as well.

Does anyone know what area team has the best shot at making a run in the playoffs?

no steve - only you shave your legs.

Arcadia's Kyle Matyas is headed to UCLA next season. UCLA is the defending national champion.

Do most volleyball players shave their legs? Just curious.

Hi, I was wondering maybe if you could name some of the top players in the area and if they might be going to play at the collegiate level.
