Football: Hop on and enjoy the PHS bandwagon ride
Above: PHS students going all out in the Bulldogs' first game on their new field against Salesian Saugus.
I know Huckster wants none of my ink on the Bulldogs, but oh well. If you open today's page 2 in sports you'll see a nice headline on PHS, and I did that just for Huckster -- the story, not the headline. Anyway, it seems there are many people riding the PHS bandwagon after its 2-0 start in the Pacific League. Don't worry, Huckster. No way I'm ranking the Bulldogs just yet. I haven't even thought about it. But I will take a close look at the Bulldogs and wait anxiously Thursday night to hear back from our Keith Lair, who will cover Thursday's game at Burroughs. I got a phone call this morning from a reader who said he had just moved to Pasadena (I'm assuming from out of state) and read my story this morning. He wants to follow PHS the rest of the year and asked where Burroughs High was so he can attend the game. Pretty cool, huh? It's unlikely the Bulldogs will win the Pacific League, and a playoff berth isn't out of reach. Either way, it's pretty cool that the ground is shifting even if it's just a bit, and people are now rooting for the Bulldogs. Basketball? What basketball?

Yeah, that bandwagon is filling up fast. We've been waiting for the stars to align, and the fall of the EVIL Empire on Lincoln. I can remember running on the Rose Bowl field in 1979 to bring the Bell home, It seems like soooooo long ago :). I'll be ready this year to celebrate a Tussle Victory.
Stay focused dogs and take care business Thursday night at Burroughs. GET'EM DOGS!!!!!
Thursday nights game is HUGE! DOGS go on the road to Burroughs, the highest rated team in the League. I'll be there - come support your local football team playing good football...
