PACIFIC IS GONNA PICK UP A BIG WIN AGAINST GRANITE HILLS THIS WEEK..... THE TEAMS COMING TOGETHER AND LOOKING TO EARN SOME RESPECT IN THE UP COMING WEEKS....

HIGH DESERT RAT said:

Pacific win a game I dont think so! Another 30 point loss Granite is the Real Deal.Price ran all those great Sultana Teams,and now is running a great program.

nay said:

fontana will beat summit!
banning, fohi didn't know nothing about them.
every one puts fohi down let them build up
it takes 3 or 4 years just watch.

Anonymous said:

Fohi apologists: You got beat by a much smaller school. You got beat by a school that has struggled on the football field for the last few years. Of course, talent wise Banning has had some spectacular players through the years.

Bloomertown said:

How could Fohi not know about Banning when they played them last year? The steelers beat them and Rialto last year.

Also Prepdog, I have to go with LaQuinta over Colton. They've been able to take down the Yellowjackets the past 2 years and this isn't Colton's year.

We'll see what happens Bloomertown. Thanks for the input.

Serrano will take down Upland?

It`s going to be a long bus ride home for the High Desert Rats.

John Murphy said:

I predicted Upland to defeat Serrano, 28-20.

Scorpions Live Here said:

Are all of you kidding youselves when you say Serrano will beat Upland. Did any one read the aritcle on the SB sun web page. They have more scholarship athlete in one year than Serrano a high desert power has had in the last 10 years. You can't get many points running the double wing like Serrano does oh wait it is not a double wing typo on my part. Upland runs a more college style offense and fits the athletes down there. Upland 45- Serrano 10 cheap ones.

HESPERIA 45-CANYON SPRINGS 20

SERRANO 28 UPLAND 27 OT

PACIFIC WILL WIN THIS WEEK

Serrano beat upland...yur joking. Silverado passed for over 200 yards with a jr qb on a bum ankle and the diamondbacks were on the ropes in the first quarter until Bradford returned a kickoff for a t.d. Serrano has talent but beating Upland is a major upset. We have a good "O" but our "D" is too young to pull it off.

Anonymous said:

Bradford won`t be returning any kickoffs for TD`s against Upland.
Upland has a Soph kicker that puts the ball out of the endzone.
The kid has attempted 50 kicks combined from last year and this year from 50 yards and in, and he`s made 49 of them............and High Desert Rat predicts that Serrano will win 28-27 in OT?

That looks like you`re counting on him missing a PAT in OT, LOL.

Calpreps predicts 44-14 Upland.

I think this is the year Don Lugo ends the skid against Chino! You heard it here first.
