(UPDATED)......Star Picks......And then there were two
(UPDATED 2:27 p.m.) Riverside Christian will play AT Rio Hondo Prep at 7 p.m. (NOT 7:30 p.m.) and Rosemead will play against Paraclete at Knight High School in Palmdale. The lunch at the CIF luncheon was very very good: Tri-tip, chicken salad, noodles, baked potatoes and fudge brownie ice cream for dessert. So much for watching my diet today. Got chance to talk with Diamond Ranch coach Roddy Layton after the luncheon. I mentioned I had been right on all my second round predictions through the finals in four divisions. Layton excitedly said, "Oh good." Uh, not so. I have Charter Oak beating Diamond Ranch in Friday's finals. I'll be there to blog live for Robledo. I'm cashing in on a free Subway sandwich from a co-worker who bet De La Hoya would win. He's out $5 now. I'm back from taking a look at my new apartment-to-be (I hope) in old town Pasadena. Anyway, I'm in the office and I'll release the comments that have made their way to the black hole).
Last week: I'm not going to gloat (stop laughing) but I have gone unbeaten in my second round through finals predictions in the Mid-Valley, Northeast, Southeast and Western divisions. The only division I missed a few games was in the East Valley Division, but I did have St. Margaret's beating Maranatha in the semifinals and the Tartans winning the whole thing, again, and again, and again.
This week: We (and by we I mean me) will have daily coverage of the two remaining area teams: Riverside Christian at Rio Hondo Prep in the Northeast Division and Rosemead at Paraclete in the Mid-Valley Division. The Kares will play at home while the Panthers travel to play Paraclete at Knight High School in Palmdale.
Saturday's games with predictions:
Mid-Valley Division -- Rosemead vs. Paraclete at Knight High School in Palmdale, 7:30 p.m. -- Melendez (Rosemead)
Northeast Division -- Riverside Christian vs. Rio Hondo Prep, 7 p.m. -- Melendez (Rio Hondo Prep)

Great blog!! You should start many more. I love all the info provided. I will stay tuned :)
I agree with your thoughts here and I really love your blog! I've bookmarked it so that I can come back & read more in the future.
Ice hockey is an interesting exercise, I like it.
While there are, of course, less expensive Louis Vuitton knockoff handbags on the market, none of these portfolios to the exacting standards of the bus company are made.
Great article!

FYI: According to the CIF web page the Rosemead vs Paraclete game is at 7:00 not 7:30.
I personally think that Tim Loya should get it, he took a team that no one though would go any where in the playoffs and went to the semi's for this first time in almost tne years. He is a brilliant mind and he knew how to use all the weapons he had on offense.Max Preps.com is the absolute best place to go for your all area selection becuase not every player has gotten alot of publicity. the coaches really overlook the stats to make sure they are accurate. thats they way it should go
I meant...
FINISH!
haha

Good luck Rosemead. Bring home the title.
Rosemead Vs Paraclete. Both teams have good defenses.Rosemead has a better offense and faster offense Than Paraclete. Paraclete's defense flies to the ball. This Game will be very interesting something must give?
