DON'T THINK. IT CAN ONLY HURT THE BALLCLUB

As promised, my winning percentage plummeted last week.
Week 3: 4-5
Season record: 12-6

This week, however, I'm guaranteeing improvement (but not really).

No. 1 Colony (3-0) at Serrano (4-0)
Serrano brings a pretty record to this matchup. Colony, conversely, is coming off an ugly 9-7 win. Serrano's schedule is looking less and less difficult, making its record a little deceiving. Colony, despite not bursting from the gates with blowout's the likes of Serrano's, is the real deal. They'll prove it Friday night, breaking the three-week trend of Daily Bulletin No. 1 teams losing.
Colony 24, Serrano 13

La Quinta (2-1) at No. 7 Chaffey (3-0)
This is truely a matchup of heavyweights. A resurgent Chaffey team, however, is less proven than 2006 CIF finalist La Quinta. Chaffey's one-dimensional offense will prove its eventual downfall.
La Quinta 21, Chaffey 14

Kaiser (0-3) at No. 6 Los Osos (2-1)
Hard-luck Kaiser won't get any breaks this week. A Los Osos squad fresh off an upsetting loss to Norco will pour it on deflated Kaiser, who lost to previously winless Cajon last week.
Los Osos 34, Kaiser 14

No. 3 Diamond Ranch (2-1) at Ayala (1-2)
Ayala will give Diamond Ranch more of a run than it's expecting, but the Panthers are simply too talented for Ayala. Their run defense will prove too stout for Ayala's wing-T.
Diamond Ranch 24, Ayala 10

No. 5 Chino Hils (2-1) at Etiwanda (2-2)
Etiwanda's up and down season will continue. This week its due for a down. Chino Hills tends to bring that out in other teams. The Huskies will roll to their third straight win.
Chino Hills 27, Etiwanda 7

Carter (0-3) at Redlands (0-3)
Both of these teams have played difficult schedules. Ironically, both made the playoffs last year with Redlands claiming the Citrus Belt League title. Redlands has shown more life in its losses thus far.
Redlands 23, Carter 17

No. 4 Miller (3-0) at Fontana (1-2)
Fontana will catch a cofident Miller team napping early but the Rebels will spring awake in a runaway second half. Its league opener is too important for Miller to let it slip away.
Miller 38, Fontana 20

Redlands East Valley (3-0) at No. 9 Eisenhower (3-0)
REV is primed for CBL league play after braving an extremely difficult preseason. Eisenhower is a feel-good story at 3-0, but REV will close the book on its undefeated season.
REV 28, Eisenhower 13

Upland (1-2) at San Gorgonio (1-2)
San G will be the perfect remedy for Upland's less than stellar start to the season. The Scots talent will be too much for a young San G team.
Upland 17, San Gorgonio 7

Damien (2-2) at Charter Oak (2-1)
Neither of these two have beaten a great team, making this one a little difficult to predict. Charter Oak is heating up, however, while Damien lost its last game.
Charter Oak 24, Damien 20

Garey (1-2) at Ganesha (0-4)
Ganesha is bent on avenging an astonishing 85-0 defeat last week, but Garey will edge the Giants in the end.
Garey 27, Ganesha 21

THURSDAY GAMES
Diamond Bar (2-2) at Troy (3-0)
Diamond Bar is showing some life this season after a 2-8 campaign last year, but the Brahmas won't have enough to defeat a Troy team that is likely not as good as its undefeated mark would indicate.
Troy 31, Diamond Bar 22

Gabrelino (1-3) at Pomona (0-3)
Pomona has put together some decent games, just not one good enough for a win. The Red Devils will play another decent game against Gabrelino, but it won't be enough for their first victory.
Gabrelino 22, Pomona 14

Week 3: BRANDON SIXKILLER, Yucca Valley High School junior linebacker/wide receiver
Could have been worse, right? Quarterbackkiller, for instance.

Week 2: ZARDES GYRAST, Lawndale Leuzinger High School junior kicker
No word on if the celebration of the eventual game-winning field goal against Norco included any gyrations.

Week 1: DJ STALLION, Colton High School senior running back/linebacker
A workhorse, no doubt.

Final poll (ranking last week)
1. Colony (4)
2. Norco (5)
3. Diamond Ranch (2)
4. Miller (3)
5. Chino Hills (6)
6. Los Osos (1)
7. Chaffey (NR)
8. San Dimas (7)
9. Eisenhower (NR)
10. Chino (8)

If once is happenstance, twice is coincidcnce and three times... well, whether it's because three No. 1 teams have lost in as many weeks or undefeated Serrano is staring them in the face, Colony might want to look out on Friday.

Here's my ballot after Week 3
1. Diamond Ranch
2. Miller
3. Colony
4. Chino Hills
5. Norco
6. Los Osos
7. San Dimas
8. Chaffey
9. Damien
10. Alta Loma

There's no shame in the Daily Bulletin Week 3 No. 1 team, Los Osos, losing to a stout (and two-time defending CIF-SS champion) Norco team, 13-3 last Friday. Norco knows the feeling, it lost its top-ranked status Week 2 when Lawndale Leuzinger's TD with 51 seconds left in the game knocked it off before Norco could escape with a 7-3 win. While I couldn't let Norco leap over my top four teams in this week's rankings, the other three pollsters rewarded the Cougars handsomely.

Diamond Ranch is still the best team I've laid eyes on. Although, even without Joshua Nakamoto (dislocated ankle) Norco was scary good, particularly the defense. Colony has looked a little shaky thus far, further evidenced by its 9-7 win over Alta Loma last week. I think they slid into the top spot more by default than anything else. The Titans (3-0), however, will slide into Phelan on Friday to face undefeated Serrano (4-0) immediately after assuming the No. 1 slot. Perfect timing to continue the trend? We'll see.

I somehow managed to go 8-1 last week, so prepare for my winning percentage to dip precipitously.
Lets see if a No. 1 team can hold on to the top spot for more than one week.

No. 1 Los Osos (2-0) at No. 5 Norco (1-1)
We're lucky a non-league game of this magnitude takes place during the regular season. This is a classic matchup of Los Osos' high-octane offense and Norco's stingy defense. I'm taking the defense. Adding fuel to the fire is Norco's desire to avange its last-minute 10-7 loss to Leuzinger last week. The Norco offense will pound away at a Los Osos defense that is yet to prove itself, making the Grizzlies the third No. 1 team to fall in as many weeks.
Norco 31, Los Osos 27

No. 9 Alta Loma (2-1) at No. 4 Colony (2-0)
This is another matchup with plenty of contrast, pitting Colony's speed against Alta Loma's size. I don't think the overachieving Braves can contend with Colony's athleticism. QB Jeff Ginolfi and RB Daniel Simmons are turning into a dynamic duo for defending CIF champ Colony.
Colony 28, Alta Loma 17

Bishop Amat (0-3) at No. 10 Rancho Cucamomga (1-1)
Even though Bishop Amat is winless, this would be a statement win for Rancho (Bishop Amat's losses have come to teams that are a combined 7-0). The Cougars and 14-year-old QB Greg Watson, however, have much to prove. I think this week they'll discover they still have some growing up to do.
Bishop Amat 27, Rancho Cucamonga 21

No. 7 San Dimas (3-0) at Ontario (2-1)
San Dimas dropped a close one to Mt. Baldy League opponent, Montclair, last season. Ontario will step in to pull the upset this season. San Dimas running back Nico Barbone will continue his tear, but Ontario and wily QB Robert Robles will find a way to pull this one out.
Ontario 24, San Dimas 21

Etiwanda (1-2) at Carter (0-2)
In a battle of underachievers, Carter will underachieve less. These two seemingly talented teams are a perfect matchup for each other. Maybe a win here will jumpstart one of these team's seasons.
Carter 20, Etiwanda 14

Kaiser (0-2) at Cajon (0-3)
Neither of these teams has exactly played a soft schedule thus far. Kaiser's, however, is the stronger of the two. Although their both eager for their first win, the Cats will want it more.
Kaiser 24, Cajon 13

Damien (2-1) at Los Altos (2-0)
Los Altos hasn't been tested yet. Damien is the perfect team to sneak up on them and deliver Los Altos its first loss of the season. The Spartans will win a close one.
Damien 28, Los Altos 27

Claremont (0-2) at South Hills (0-2)
Claremont won't be able to recover from an emotional loss to rival Damien last week. South Hills will be able to take advantage of the drained Wolfpack.
South Hills 21, Claremont 14

SATURDAY
Upland (1-1) at Las Vegas Bishop Gorman (3-0)
Upland will avenge a blowout loss last week and the lengthy trip to Las Vegas by taking down Bishop Gorman. The Scots will beat the odds, if you will, in a close one.
Upland 20, Bishop Gorman 17

The Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning debate got old for me about, oh, three years ago. Maybe four. Sunday night, however, it dawned on me (four Super Bowls later) that the discussion is only just beginning.

Prior to this season, about the only thing the undisputed two best quarterbacks in the universe had in common were the initials preceding their name on the depth chart.
I'm not expanding the discussion to include the Patriots defense that mugged Manning for so many years opposite the Colts' excuse for a counterpart. Neither Adam Vinatieri nor a liquored up kicker enter this equation, either.
What killed the Brady-Manning Sportscenter loop running these past three years was, interestingly enough, what made ESPN's summer version of that rerun -Yankees vs. Red Sox - so compelling. New York and Boston were such polar opposites, their clashing styles naturally made for theatre. Until, that is, the Red Sox became the Yankees (heck, the beloved face - and hair - of Boston literally traded in his red sox for pinstripes). The Sox shed their blue collar image along with players like Trot Nixon and Kevin 'Cowboy up' Millar while bidding for the right to bid on Japanese pitchers and, speaking of overpaying, arranging shady deals with J.D. Drew.
Tom Brady, however, has become Peyton Manning, allowing for the two to finally to be compared.
What captivated us for years was less Manning vs. Brady than it was Peyton vs. Belichick and Bruschi. But when the defending Super Bowl champs host you know who Nov. 4, riding on the bus with Brady will be a real live premier receiver. He's got another legit receiver on the roster too. And, what's that, a third one who can play?
Meanwhile, Manning and his all-world wideout, Marvin Harrison, have led a career-long full-scale assault on the record books. Reggie Wayne may be a Harrison in waiting, only he's done waiting. When poor Peyton lost his slot receiver in the offseason, the Colts waited all the way until April's draft to buy him a brand new one - Anthony Gonzales in the first freaking round. Brady's typical slot receivers probably didn't expect to make it past the first round of training camp cuts. The Pats leading receiver last season, Reche Caldwell, barely did only to be shown the door two-and-a-half weeks ago.
Now we get to see Brady throw to talent the likes of which his buddy Peyton has for years. How the Patriots finagled Randy Moss for a fourth-round pick, or had the money/common sense to sign former first-round pick Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker fresh off a 67-catch season with Dolphin QBs throwing to him? That's beyond me.
I'm afraid it's beyond Peyton, too. At least that's were Brady will end up with this cast around him.
Did you see the touchdown Brady threw to Randy Moss against the Jets? How did he know Moss would pull away from the TRIPLE TEAM encircling him? What about the sideline pass he rifled directly at the Jets defender, only too high for him but the perfect height for the 6-foot-4 Moss.
Brady's spent seven years in the league making stars out of tight ends because he has never (never!) had a great receiver, much less an elite one. Adding further contrast to his 2007-08 corps, the Pats WR depth chart reached new depths last year. We've never seen Brady trust enough to consistently put the ball in spots where his pass catcher is the one that has to make a play.
Sunday night, against one of the best defenses in the NFL, he didn't even have to make those spectacular throws. The Pats simply dissected a Chargers team that went 14-2 last season for their second 38-14 win in as many weeks.
Now ESPN has legitimate reason to dissect the Brady-Manning dynamic all over again (be afraid).

A panel of four votes to determine the final Daily Bulletin prep football rankings.
A panel of one, however, determines these...

Ranking in final poll in paranthesis
1. Diamond Ranch (2)
2. Los Osos (1)
3. Colony (4)
4. Miller (3)
5. Chino Hills (6)
6. Norco (5)
7. San Dimas (7)
8. Alta Loma (9)
9. Rancho Cucamonga (10)
10. Chaffey (NR)

It doesn't help that I haven't seen all the other panelist's No. 1 team, Los Osos, play yet. I've determined with my own two eyes that Diamond Ranch is the real deal. I watched the Panthers run over a stunned Chino Hills team last week and a defending CIF-San Diego champ on Saturday. It's difficult for me to rank Los Osos No. 1 considering its defense has allowed 58 points in two games to teams with a combined record of 0-6. Los Osos has all the opportunity it needs to prove itself when it visits two-time defending CIF-SS champion Norco Friday.

No. 4 Colony may be earning some carryover points from me after winning the CIF-SS Central Division title last season. We'll discover considrably more about the Omar Bolden-less Titans this week when they host No. 9 Alta Loma in the second-most compelling matchup this week.

No. 5 Norco was the second No. 1 team to lose in as many weeks, suffering the same fate as preseason No. 1 Chino Hills in a 10-7 last-minute loss to Lawndale Leuzinger Friday. Both Chino Hills and Norco are still very much forces to be reckoned with. Had these two not matched up in the first round of the playoffs last season, many more teams would have been the worse for it.

No. 3 Miller has blown the doors off each opponent thus far and will likely continue to do so until it plays Carter Week 6 or Redlands Week 7. A meeting with REV Week 8 will be its stiffest test of the season.
No. 7 San Dimas and No. 9 Alta Loma have been solid but not spectacular. The athletes populating No. 10 Rancho Cucamonga make it a sexy pick, but the Cougars have plenty to prove.

I'll be picking some of the area's marquee high school games each week. So, without further ado...

Don Lugo (2-0) at Chino (1-1)
Don Lugo hasn't won the "Milk Can" game in 15 years. The Conquistadores haven't even been close enough to smell the milk since a 2-point loss to their crosstown rival in 1994. Even though their QB is banged up, RB/DB A.J. Pickens will pick up the slack for the Conquistadores, helping Don Lugo to finally break the streak.
Don Lugo 21, Chino 13

Rancho Cucamonga (0-1) at Carter (0-1)
Hanging with CIF-SS runner-up La Quinta for a while last week is enough to convince me to pick Rancho Cucamonga over a Carter team that lost a disappointing one 19-7 to Alta Loma. These two teams will match speed on speed in a tight one.
Rancho Cucamonga 28, Carter 24

Ayala (1-1) at Alta Loma (1-1)
Is Ayala for real? The Bulldogs beat a 2006 CIF-SS semifinalist 35-7 Week 0 for their first win since 2005. Alta Loma, meanwhile, has lost a game it shold have won and won a game it should have lost. The Alta Loma run defense will prove too stout for the Bulldogs Wing-T attack.
Alta Loma 21, Ayala 17

Claremont (0-1) at Damien (1-1)
I haven't seen either of these teams play yet, but Claremont appears to have a long way to go while Damien seems to have recovered nicely despite returning only three starters from last year. I'm taking Damien in a game Claremont will keep close for longer than expected.
Damien 31, Claremont 17

Riverside North (0-1) at Kaiser (0-1)
North is coming off a season-opening 1-point loss, Kaiser a 2-point defeat. The difference is defending CIF champ North lost to one of the area's best teams, Redlands East Valley, while Kaiser was upset by Arroyo Valley. Kaiser has a bone to pick with a North team that is responsible for two of its three losses last season but its spirited effort won't be enough.
Riverside North 28, Kaiser 27

San Gorgonio (1-0) at Chino Hills (0-1)
Chino Hills has been stewing for a week after dropping their season opener by two TD's to Diamond Ranch. First-year starting QB Leno Innocenzi will probably have a little more lattitude this week, although MIchael Harris and the Husky running game will likely prove too much for a young San G squad.
Chino Hills 31, San Gorgonio 17

Compton Centennial (1-0) at Miller (2-0)
Dual-threat Miller QB A.J. Springer won't be able to abuse Compton Centennial the way he has the Rebels' first two opponents, but he'll come up big when Miller needs it most. The Rebels win a close one.
Miller 24, Compton Centennial 21

Fontana (1-0) at Colony (1-0)
Fontana broke a 29-game losing streak last week while defendinf CIF champ Colony extended its winning steak to 10. After this week, it'll be 11. Congrats to Fontana on a significant victory. It won't be another 29 games until its next one, but it'll at least be more than one.
Colony 42, Fontana 12

San Dimas (2-0) at Montclair (0-2)
The San Dimas running game will be at full throttle when the Saints roll through Montclair. RB Nico Barbone will continue his torrid pace.
San Dimas 34, Montclair 10

Daily Bullletin columnist David Allen was recently leafing through the Wall Street Journal when he noticed a story datelined "Upland, Calif." If that wasn't strange enough, it was a sports story.
Upland High School freshman place kicker Jake Van Ginkel isn't even first at his position on the Highlanders' depth chart. But the heavily viewed YouTube video (below) of him kicking a 60-yard field goal was enough to warrant Journal reporter Russell Adams flying in from New York for the Upland freshman team's season opener Sept. 6.

Here is the Wall Street Journal story on Van Ginkel.

Adams put together his own video on Van Ginkel, too.

I must have caught Marvin Jones on a bad day. I certainly caught Etiwanda on one.
My much-anticipated first viewing of the all-everything Etiwanda receiver in the Eagles 31-13 loss Thursday night left me feeling a little empty. It left Etiwanda coach Steve Bryce in far worse condition.

The fact that his star receiver dropped a couple of passes in a game he finished with five receptions for 64 yards was probably a minor concern of Bryce's by the end of the night. (The competitive Jones, however, would probably rather have dropped a couple of his 14 scholarship offers instead)
There is nothing minor about the concern Bryce likely has about his quarterback situation. I'm sure Bryce was alarmed when sophomore starter Angel Santiago's first-half passing yardage peaked at eight with his second completion. It dipped over the next seven throws to his halftime total of FIVE.
Jones probably wasn't envisioning 1,300 more yards this season when his QB was on pace to throw for a first down by the game's end.
Santiago, just a sophomore making his third-ever start, will have plenty of bad company during the game film review this weekend. He didn't exactly have great protection Thursday night. Or a running game - Jones's 24 yards made him the team's leading rusher entering the fourth quarter. In fact, Etiwanda running back Vince Minor's 18-yard throwback pass to Jones made him the Eagles' leading passer until well into the second half. (For those of you updating your depth chart, that made a running back the leading passer and a receiver the leading rusher at halftime)
A livid Bryce's postgame reaction: "We had good receivers out there dropping passes, we had quarterbacks making bad reads, we couldn't pick up a blitz. It wasn't one thing or one person, it takes a whole team to screw up that bad."
To his credit, Santiago did complete 6-of-7 passes for 71 yards on a lengthy scoring drive in garbage time, providing a peek at the real Marvin Jones in the process. Jones made a sweet leaping catch in between two defenders before hauling in another reception in traffic.
Jones - easily the most heralded recruit in the Daily Bulletin coverage area - has 20 receptions for 227 yards and 1 TD in three games. But the 6-foot-3, 191-pound specimen with 4.5 speed can't expect to approach his 63-catch, 1,300-yard, 13-TD season of 2006 without QB David Vasquez, nearly a 3,000-yard passer last year.
Jones neednt worry about his status with the college scouts, though. He is already the 10th-ranked recruit in California, the 14th-ranked receiver in the nation, according to rivals.com.
Cal, Oregon, Nebraska, Arizona State, etc. won't be withdrawing their offers anytime soon.
Have a look at highlight or 30 of Jones from last season. Oh yeah, No. 3 plays a little D too.

Norco High School running back Joshua Nakamoto dislocated his right ankle on the first offensive play of Friday night's 25-20 win over Crenshaw, sidelining the senior 4-6 weeks.
Nakamoto, a 2,386-yard rusher a year ago on Norco's CIF-SS Inland Division championship team, was pushed out of bounds at the end of a 20-yard run where the 6-foot-1, 225-pound power back landed awkwardly, popping the ankle out of place.
"Actually its better to dislocate it than have to deal with ligament damage," Norco coach Todd Gerhart said. "This way we're just waiting for the swelling to go down. Six weeks is worst case."

Junior wing back Richie Lopez was forced to fill in for Nakamoto Friday. Having to replace Lopez with a receiver essentially cut the Norco play book in half, according to Gerhart. Norco's run-first, pass-almost-never offense is heavily reliant upon the counters Lopez runs from the wing back posiiton to offset Nakamoto's smash-mouth style up the middle.
Gerhart eventually returned Lopez to his original position on Friday, inserting Nakamoto's successor, sophomore speedster Joe Smith. Smith promptly rewarded him with an 85-yard touchdown run but fumbled his next touch, enough of a scare in a close game to warrant Gerhart pulling the youngster. However, Smith will start this week when Norco hosts Lawndale Leuzinger, allowing Lopez to resume his wing back duties.

Roddy Layton is the type of coach I'd like to play for.
The second-year Diamond Ranch head football coach comes off first and foremost as a fiery motivator. It's apparent in his voice how much he cares about football and it's fast becoming obvious how contagious that is within his team. It beat the Daily Bulletin's then No. 1 team, Chino Hills, on Friday.
While Layton walks the line between cocky and confident - for example, he skipped past the scoreboard that read Diamond Ranch 28, Chino Hills 14 with his index finger aloft heading into halftime - he almost always falls on the correct side of it.

After Diamond Ranch made official its 42-28 upset over Chino Hills, Layton was gracious and complementary of his team's crosstown rival. He was humble when it came to his team, too.
"We're not ready to win a CIF championship," he said "We've still got a long ways to go."
While it couldn't have played much better on Friday, Diamond Ranch looks plenty capable of winning a CIF championship. Just two games into his second season - DR gave 2006 CIF-SS runner-up Edison a scare Week 0 - Layton has his kids believing, for good reason.
Beyond his inherent competitiveness the players can't help but absorb, Layton devotes hours each week to researching for stories and quotes applicable to pregame speeches, etc. His tactic at Chino Hills: he had a team viewing of Mike Tyson's greatest knockouts before the game. After his team took a 14-point hafltime lead he put it to practical use. “Mike Tyson, Mike Tyson,” he repeated to his players pacing the sideline before the second half began. “We've got 'em on the ropes,” he said, “now let's knock 'em out.”
