FOOTBALL: Alhambra, Pasadena on display in passing tournaments
Here is Scott Galetti's report from the Crescenta Valley passing tournament.
Alhambra sharp despite being shorthanded:
Alhambra is licking its chops as it prepares for the 2007 season.
The Moors dropped their first-round elimination game to Crescenta Valley with a JV quarterback and some players missing because of commitments to play in a baseball tournament.
But that won’t put a damper on the team’s excitement about the upcoming season.
Alhambra posted a 7-4-1 record in 2006 and finished in a three-way tie for the Almont League championship.
The Moors went into the CIF-Southern Section Southeast Division playoffs at the league’s top team and advanced to the second round.
Running back Anthony Brown returns for his senior season.
Brown rushed for 1,058 yards and 15 touchdowns as a junior.
He will have some big bodies to run behind.
“I think we’re going to be strong because we have one of the biggest lines we’ve had in years,” Alhambra assistant coach Steve Castro said.
Senior linebacker Robert Olivarez returns to lead the Moors defense and will vie for the quarterback spot.
“We just hope that he can go both ways,” Castro said.

Bulldogs display quickness:
Pasadena earned wins over Saugus and Valencia to advance to the semifinals.
The Bulldogs did so with a quick, ball-hawking type defense that has Mills excited.
“Our defense is awesome because we have a lot of speed,” Pasadena coach Kevin Mills said.
Senior cornerback Tyron Crockom returns as one of the Bulldogs top players on defense along with senior cornerback/wide receiver Arness Ikner.
Crockom, who threw for 2,050 yards and 20 touchdowns last season, appeared comfortable in the seven-on-seven situation.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
This article is a part of universe. I am fond of universe. Ever since I was a kid. Nice article .
This valuable mispunctuated world-wide-web acronym communicates the particular idea that the commenter would likely not be troubled to examine the majority of the phrases you have chosen to submit
Not sure about the teams in the Bulldog Tourney. I would guess St. Francis, Muir, Marshall, Poly and San Marino would all be in it since those teams have participated the past 2 years.
Anyone know if Mills has sent out the draws for his PHS passing league tournament yet? And who all is in it?
Is great to see that PHS did well in the summer passing games. Good get 'em DAWGS!
