San Gabriel ’10 sked: Coach O’s first go-around


Arthur Brown will be counted on to shoulder much of SG’s load.

Week 0: at Muir
Week 1: South Pasadena
Week 2: Burbank
Week 3: Miguel Contreras
Week 4: at Rosemead
Week 5: BYE
Week 6: at Montebello
Week 7: Keppel
Week 8: Bell Gardens
Week 9: at Alhambra
Week 10: at Schurr

Aram’s take: It’s going to be tough for new Mats coach Jude Oliva to keep the Keith Jones mojo going. SG has to replace all-everything QB Isaac Valdez along with all-purpose threat Fabian Amaro. But running back Arthur Brown and receiver Mark Covarrubias are back so the new QB has something to work with. This schedule, though, won’t allow Oliva or the new QB much time to learn on the job. Muir in Week 0. Yikes. Rosemead to conclude nonleague. Ouch. Then roadies against Alhambra and Schurr to finish the year … those games will surely have Almont League and playoff implications. Oliva’s has made a quite name for himself as one of the top area assistants in recent years. That, and the recent trend that you can plug in anybody at QB at SG and he’ll put up numbers mean SG will be its usually solid self playing a testing slate.
