TELL US WHERE YOU WERE AND WHAT YOU THOUGHT
As Mendrun said: "One second and one yard away from being 5-0." I never thought of it like that, but it's true.
Friday
Damien 25, Charter Oak 9 (CO fans were back in force, so was WR Michael Johnson, and most importantly so was Damien's defense)
Rancho Cucamonga 20, West Covina 0 (Demond Wallace and Tyler Hockenhull don't play due to suspension. What's the world coming to?)
St. Francis 19, Los Altos 12 (LA might have gone undefeated in the regular season were it not for this loss)
Bonita 26, Northview 0 (BoHi now thinking about smudge)
Arroyo 17, El Rancho 7 (The Knights are on the board)
Capo Valley 26, Glendora 25 (there goes my battle of the unbeatens matchup next week when the Tartans go to Rowland)
Baldwin Park 48, El Monte 13 (Can BP press Covina this year?)
Temple City 20, Rosemead 9 (don't look now, Aram's alma mater is undefeated. Much better effort by the Panthers)
La Puente 13, Bassett 12 (Hernandez is undefeated in league)
Workman 27, Sierra Vista 6 (Good job Lobos, you're now 3-2 ... what Workman team this decade has been able to say that?)
Thursday
South Hills 14, Fullerton 7
Rowland 45, Don Lugo 23
Azusa 12, Gladstone 0
Diamond Ranch 34, Ayala 21
I went to South Hills vs. Fullerton as a casual observer. The Huskies remain a team that hasn't quite put it all together yet. But when they do, it should be good. Fullerton looked like a gritty team, just enough to make the Huskies work for everything. I was kind of surprised how mellow the Huskies' sideline was until the fourth quarter. Then, it was like the old South Hills again. They scored and immediately got a turnover, although it wasn't cashed in. South Hills' defense looked really strong in the second half. The offense had its moments. The coaching staff called a well-timed double reverse pass that produced the game winning TD from the arm of Brandon Parham. Once the offense puts things together, this team will be very dangerous.
... I don't know why, but we're back up now. Get crackin.
It's not Showdown Friday, but it's still pretty good.
Tell us who think is going to win all of the games or just one of them. Don't forget to include final scores!!!!

I'm starting to think that I should put up an over/under on how long Harris will play, and not his yards. Braves coach James Heggins has been a nice guy and smart not to risk his franchise during blowouts.
This weeks OVER/UNDER: 210 1/2 yards
Week 1: 133 yards vs. Azusa UNDER
Week 2: 139 yards vs. West Covina OVER
Week 3: 156 yards vs. Sierra Vista UNDER

Who's the area's top running back?
Hairline isn't just something that matters to DHT suffering males.
Vote at http://sgvtribune.com/preps
Guess what - I'll be voting on this subject at the end of the season and my choice will come down to the Trib and get his picture taken.
Nico Barbone from San Dimas leads in the area in rushing - is it him?
Aaron Harris can't get carries in the 2nd half of games because Coach Heggins has a heart - is it him?
William Wallace didn't impress the Monrovia faithful (yeah right) - is it him?
Rene Small is keeping a low pro right now - is it him?
Daniel Bernal has a bad hammy but two prior years of big numbers - is it him?
Ira Thomas just quietly gets his 100 and 2 TDs every week - is it him?
Dominique Gaisie is probably worth one win to Amat - is it him?
Johnny Crespo isn't Aaron Capers or Brian Hunter, but he gets the job done - is it him?
Jordan Edmond also gets his 100 and 2 TDs every game shhhhh ... quiet - is it him?
Showdown Friday lived up to its billing!!!
Castaneda continues to come up big ... no pun intended.
The Tribune called it showdown Friday and the awesome kids who put on the helmets and pads made it happen. Three big games with three thrilling finishes and six football teams that all deserve a huge round of applause. Friday night was why SGV FOOTBALL IS ONE OF A KIND!
West Covina gets out of Monrovia with a last second field goal - 22-20
Los Altos holds to topple Damien in a thriller - 26-24
Glendora goes 80-yards in the final minutes to take back the Mayor's Trophy - 14-7
Aram's Los Altos over Damien takes: This was absolutely why people should go to high school football games. For six bucks or whatever it costs, the game had its twists and turns, big plays and unforeseen dramas. The lights went out, LA coach Greg Gano was given a special forum by the officials to go out on the field and scream at all of them after a questionable personal foul penalty that put Damien way inside LA territory late in the game. And, of course, a thrilling finish.
The main thing I took away from the game was that LA is definitely for real. I said on this blog before that people who scoffed the Conquerors after seeing them in Week 0 against South Hills should reserve judgement. The main reason is because Fono Muasau and Richard Maciel were out. Muasau is a beast. Maciel adds depth to the defense. With them, LA is a totally different defense. Offensively, LA has a genius in Gano calling plays, a good little QB, a perfect route-running receiver in Foss, a developing star in RB Thomas, and the best tight end around in Rodriguez. This team has it all and is only going to get better and better. Oh yeah, and D-coordinator Lee Fair pulled another out of the hat.
I thought Damien was solid, too. I don't think Spartans fans should get sour about this loss. They lost to a very good team and chances to win the game. QB Mendrun is much better than last season. I had no idea he had those kind of wheels. WR Travis Eschardies is also much better than last season. I don't think it's wrong to say those two have improved. The defense is still a little shaky, but it was able to make some big plays. I am no coach ... but if I were Scott Morrison, I would make Danny Pertusati the No. 2 receiver. No way could that pass attack be stopped with him flanking Eschardies. There just doesn't seem to be a viable No. 2 receiver to scare defenses right now.
Both sides could make arguments that had major breaks go against them that could've produced a different outcome. Los Altos could argue that it gave Damien two scores with two INTs and the game wouldn't have been so close had that not happened. Damien was INT'd deep in LA territory, though, and that ended one scoring threat. And then we all know about how the game ended. Both sides have some regrets and these things even out. No excuses. I think that Morrison put it best - "When two good football teams meet, crazy things happen." Amen.
Aram's West Covina over Monrovia takes: Let me get this straight - West Covina is overrated because they had a close call on the road against a good team? Is that right? I thought the game was going to be a blowout ... it was 19-0 at one point. Sorry. I apologize that I didn't factor in that Monrovia would rally and WestCo was human like all other HS football teams and in trouble when it lost momentum. Momentum is a funny thing in HS football. Everyone should know this. But it's foolish For any Monrovia fan to come on here and say WestCo is overrated. By doing so, you're subliminally saying that your team isn't that good. Why can't it be that Monrovia proved it's legit and fought back from a big hole against a very good team? When Monrovia wins the Mid-Valley Division this season I want all of you telling me I overrated WestCo to come back here and tell me that a 2-point win against a CIF champ isn't a good thing. Oh, did I mention that WestCo was without linebacker Shaun Rosenthal and receiver Demond Wallace? That's on the heels of losing WR/DB Fati Shorty last week. Yet the Bulldogs still did what they had to in the final minute to gut out a win. Championship teams do stuff like that. This team isn't overrated. When they get Demond Wallace and Rosenthal (aka the heart and soul of the defense) back, they will be ready to roll further.
Aram's Glendora over Charter Oak take: Obviously, I wasn't at this game. But on the surface level, it was another good win for Glendora. I think Tartans fans are a little crazy for thinking that their team should've been ranked Top 5 or even 10 in the Valley AT THE START OF THE SEASON given what was lost from last year. By not being ranked so highly, something I stand by, the magnitude of what this team is doing is even greater. To be 3-0 at this point with wins over Covina and CO is huge for a team that had no experience in the skill spots and whose main defensive players from last year had to be replaced. Great coaching and depth in talent have to be the main reasons why. GHS fans do have great reason to be excited. Your team is definitely now among the top teams in the area. It's great to see the hoops crowd is out at football games.
Of course, I got my usual array of messages and emails from Tartans fans saying "Maybe now you'll give us more respect." OK, you guys have gone from unranked to No. 6 and are headed higher this week. And it's not like I'm not giving good coverage to what this team is doing. Glendora was the video game of the week for us yesterday. There have been decent sized articles for all three Tartans games this year, with yesterday's win starting on the front page. You guys are getting enough respect, please don't worry. I just hope you're enjoying the ride. The good things this team has been doing haven't been pushed to the back page. That would be not getting any respect.
In other news ...
Amat bounced back with a 27-17 win over Rancho.
South Hills got its first win, 9-4 (what?) over Claremont
Wilson went down to Schurr, 27-14 ... something tells me Daniel Bernal didn't play.
Northview gave coach Jim Arellanes his first win by spanking Rosemad, 33-14. What's wrong with Koffmead?
Baldwin Park waxed Sierra Vista ... hung a spot a 70-spot, in fact. Harris went under, but had 156 yards in just eight carries. Oh yeah, I think he had 5 TDs.
Truly awesome stuff ... let us know where you were and what you thought.
This is the first time I haven't been out covering a game and have gotten to use the scoreboard for live updates. Awesome, awesome, awesome if I don't say so myself.
Tell us who you think will win one game or all of them. Just make sure to provide final scores! Dang it!

Some of you are close to getting tickets ...
I am aware that some of the threads below have become inundated with negative and controversial comments. I am also aware that this unfortunately often goes with the territory of high school sports. Managing this blog is one of several daily duties I have at the Tribune, and as enjoyable as it is, it's also very time consuming. I need your help in a real simple way - I am asking that all of you use your best discretion when posting and stick to the main rules of this site - no bashing kids or getting too crazy when responding to other posters. You can disagree and voice those disagreements, but please stay tactful. Also, please try to stick to the topic. I am aware that conversations often spawn other conversations, and that's fine. I really don't want to censor this site. It's not my style and I want people to have the freedom to say what they feel while staying anonymous. Just don't abuse that freedom (sound familiar)?
He likes to run all over Sierra Vista ... 342 yards last year!
The Dons have know what's coming this week ... but can they stop it?
What's your call? OVER or UNDER?
This week's projected total vs. Sierra Vista: 235 yards
Keep in mind that it's likely BP coach James Heggins will let Harris run wild against rival Sierra Vista.
Week 1: 133 yards vs. Azusa UNDER
Week 2: 139 yards vs. West Covina OVER
The first truly huge Friday of the season is upon us ...
Tribune No. 1 West Covina vs. Star-News No. 2 Monrovia
Tribune No. 2 Los Altos vs. Tribune No. 3 Damien
Tribune No. 5 Charter Oak vs. Tribune No. 6 Glendora
Inside scoop from Los Altos: The Conquerors coaching staff can't buy that there's a better team in the Valley than Damien.
Inside scoop from Monrova: Call it the hangover effect from last week's win against Arcadia, but the Wildcats think they have a good shot against WestCo. Or should I say coaches are cautiously optimistic.
Inside scoop from Charter Oak: Receiver Michael Johnson has been suspended and won't play against Glendora. The Chargers' offense is in big trouble.
It doesn't get any bigger than this! OK, maybe when a league title is on the line or late in the playoffs.
Tell us what game you went to and what you thought ...
I was at Amat: Standing on the sideline, I heard the angry yells from fans. I don't know what to tell you all. You guys pack a stadium as good as any fan base I have seen and you deserve to be rewarded. I think that all Amat fans should remember the average age of the coaches on their staff. Not sure, but I don't think I saw anybody wearing a headset tonight who isn't my age (30) or younger. Right around that age group, for sure. Because this is the path the powers that be at Amat have chosen, there's going to be growing pains like there were tonight. I think that Coach Verti needs the support of the fans. It was told to me tonight that there are only THREE seniors starting on defense. The top running back was on crutches with his leg in a cast. The QB is in his first year under center. It's not like Verti was handed a stacked deck. And tonight, he was facing the Herrington Family, which when you're a rookie head coach, is a tough assignment. Yes, it was obvious who made the better adjustments at halftime. Amat was down 14-9 at the break and got the ball first in the second half, but the score late in the fourth was 39-9 ... mama said there'd be days like this. This is a young coaching staff and you have to give them time to be in the wars. Hart has been in the wars, as my man Rudy Ruiz put it not-so-eloquently tonight. Verti and staff are going to do fine. They're not in the best of situations right now, with the predicament of the team being what it is. The good news is that the frosh team is loaded and there are so many underclassmen getting their feet wet this year. I wouldn't be too hard on the coaches or the players THIS SEASON. They played the game out tonight and scored late for pride. I know, that's not a great sign when you're playing/coaching at Amat, but it is what it is.
Hart 39, Amat 16 (ugh)
West Covina 26, Baldwin Park 6 (Harris went over)
La Habra 27, South Hills 10 (SH 0-3)

This is one of those rare times where a loss isn't costly ...
1. West Covina (0-1) - I've seen six teams play thus far, and this is the most impressive.
2. Los Altos (2-0) - Offense will move on anyone.
3. Rowland (1-0) - Didn't exactly set the world on fire against a solid Cal High team.
4. Charter Oak (0-1) - The next two weeks should be about getting street credit back.
5. Bishop Amat (1-1) - Season could go either way right now.
6. Damien (1-1) - Jury is still out on the defense, but it won't be after the next three weeks.
7. Wilson (1-0) - When the 'Cats are 5-0, the discussion will be about strength of schedule.
8. Glendora (1-0) - Strength of schedule really takes off after Duarte game.
9. South Hills (0-2) - Bogan will turn close losses into wins by November.
10. Covina (0-1) - Offense clearly needs a few games to get rolling.
Dropped out: Arroyo
Getting closer: Bonita
This from the LA Times ...
Los Angeles Loyola has become the first big-name football school to announce that it will not participate if invited to play in the CIF State Football Championship Bowl Games on Dec. 16 at Home Depot Center.
Chris O'Donnell, Loyola's athletic director, said Monday that playing a 15th week of football would interfere with the school's final exams, among other problems.
"It's a meaningless game," O'Donnell said. "High school kids will have played 14 games and will have been playing for four months, and I don't know what the players and coaches will get out of it."
Loyola won the Southern Section Division I championship last season and would be eligible for the Division II bowl game if it wins its conference championship.
State commissioners will meet Dec. 10 to select the three Southern California representatives and the three Northern California representatives to play in bowl games for large, medium and small schools. Schools must inform the CIF by the end of November whether they would participate in the first-ever bowl games. - Eric Sondheimer

This week's games are:
South Hills vs. La Habra, at Covina District Field
Hart at Bishop Amat
Bonita at South El Monte
Damien at Claremont
Baldwin Park vs. West Covina, at MSAC
You know it's coming, but can you stop it?
This week's OVER/UNDER is: 90 1/2 yards
This week's opponent: West Covina
"UNDER" 230 was your winner last week. Maybe I was a little high in that number, but hey. Only three people said under last week. I'm sure many more will side with "the low" this week. Anyway, West Covina held Mater Dei running back Ahmed Mokhtar to 99 yards. That should make the Bulldogs a lock to keep Mr. Harris under 91, right?
SEASON RESULTS
Week 1: 133 yards vs. Azusa UNDER
Not saying WestCo should've won, but it should've been closer ...
Tell us about what game you attended and what you thought.
Mater Dei 28, West Covina 10 - I was expecting more fans from Mater Dei. West Covina out-fanned them, which is a surprise. Maybe they all thought this was going to be an easy win and there was no need to buck the 57-North traffic. Anyway, I've seen five local teams thus far and West Covina is by far the most impressive. William Wallace might have been the best non-lineman on the field Friday. I hope there were some scouts in the stands, because Wallace put on a good show. I was also surprised by West Covina's size and toughness. Bulldogs fans can rest easy, there was only one injury in the game - Demond Wallace tweaked an ankle (I think) on the last play of the game. It didn't look too serious, but then again, it's not my ankle.
"We may have underestimated this West Covina club; they came right at us from the start." - Bruce Rollinson, Mater Dei head coach
Also, just hearing about other games and looking at the scores, this was a bad day for the Valley. Arroyo, Charter Oak and Bishop Amat got smoked. Damien took a bad beat, so I hear. Forget about the loss, lets just hope that QB Mark Mendrun isn't seriously injured. South Hills suffered another caught-from-behind loss. Los Altos' romp over Rosemead may have been the biggest highlight. QB Matt Castaneda has nine TDs in the first two weeks!
this is something we'll be doing all season long ... keep going to http://www.sgvtribune.com/preps/ ... during and after tonight's game. Over 40,000 hits last week on the scoreboard ... no kidding!
Also, tonight's version of "Talk your smack or cry me a river" will be up on this blog for postgame discussion. I usually put it up once I get back from my own game.
Glendora 28, Covina 14
Baldwin Park 32, Azusa 0
Aaron Harris: 17 carries, 133 yards and two TDs.
UNDER is your winner. Trib reporter Brian Baiotto said "He didn't play much." I have no clue what that means. Good job Aztecs, holding him to 133 is pretty good.
Pick one game or pick all. Please include predicted final scores ...

No, this isn't West Covina's field ... but it's (reportedly) close
For those of you who don't know, West Covina's game against Mater Dei on Friday will be played at Mt. SAC. The Bulldogs have issues with their stands at their home stadium. I happen to feel this works out better because Mater Dei's contingent will be better accommodated by this venue. And if for some reason more than just WestCo's fans want to come see the game, then a big crowd won't be a problem.
But forget about all of that for a second and lets talk about West Covina's actual playing surface. It's not a great field. It is historically bumpy and poorly maintained. I find it hard to believe that the playing field of the No. 1 team in the Valley, a program that won a CIF title two years ago, is that bad and recently got even worse. The rumor is that somebody shut off the water for six or seven weeks this summer, and the grass died. That's one thing, but it's also been reported that the Bulldogs' practice field is made up of weeds, hay and dirt. And that's not too much better than the stadium field. Isn't this the same program that lost star running back William Wallace for all of last season to a knee injury? Isn't this the same program that saw more than just Wallace go down to injury last season? Not saying any of the injuries were related to the field, but I am saying, why not make things optimal so at least the field won't be a factor in potentially causing future injuries?
Do you think Bishop Amat would let its field die? Do you think Los Altos or Charter Oak or Damien would let their fields die? Or are there people constantly maintaining these fields to ensure they're ready to go for football season?
West Covina is too good of a program to not have a competent field, at the very least. It doesn't have to be nice, just competent. If you're going to schedule teams like Mater Dei to come to the Valley, you have to be ready to host that caliber of athlete. Thank goodness this game was moved! Now go Bulldogs!
Hear it now ...

Baldwin Park running back Aaron Harris
Here's how you play: Fans post whether they think Aaron Harris will rush for "over" or "under" the projected total listed below. Then, Mr. Harris or the defense he's facing that week will go out and prove you right or wrong.
This week's over/under is 230 yards rushing ... what's your call? The Braves play Azusa at Citrus College on Thursday.
Tell me, OVER or UNDER
Baldwin Park plays Azusa on Thursday evening.
Uh, you know, as some friends like to constantly remind me, I am 30-years-old. So, as I straddle the line between serious adulthood and the final flickering memories of life in my 20s, I know that I shouldn't watch shows like MTV's "Two-A-Days." But, I do. And I watched (first season) the heck out of "Laguna Beach: The Real OC." It's not like I am alone in being a habitual watcher of these shows, but the fact that I waste so much time breaking them down could be a sign of trouble. "Two-A-Days" can actually be considered a part of my job. It's high school football, albeit in Alabama, and that's kinda my job. The show is done with a "Laguna Beach" vibe, even though it's in the sticks. Anyway, I refuse to break it down publicly (because it's embarrassing), so I had to call on loyal 20-something observer Elizabeth Botello to officially do it for this blog. Hey, she's still young enough to not sound derranged for doing it, so I hope you all enjoy.
NOTE: Her breakdown is below the photos. If you have any thoughts to add about this show, post them. It's OK to come out of the closet and admit you watch!

SGV Tribune, a full service prep sports broker.
Be sure to check http://www.sgvtribune.com/preps and click on "scoreboard" for halftime scores and finals. Obviously, you're going to have to to guess what time halftime is for all of the games. So, I would say around 8:15 p.m. start checking if you want scores from other games than the one you're at or if you're at home. And then, check back after the games are over for the finals.
Have fun tonight, everybody Wang-Chung tonight!
One cheeseburger, five cheese breads and a split order of fries with SGVN columnist Keven Chavez
Yeah, it's officially football season and this is how I do lunch during football season. Unfortunately, it's not a perfect world and these types of meals add up on the waistline and when they do, all of the honeys in the office stop smiling as they walk by my cube. Yeah right, they never stop smiling. Anyway, today I will make an exception. But these things are going to happen less and less often, I swear. What? I really do.
So, if you're hungry and want to eat like a man, come see me, Chuh-Vez and former Temple City all-league tight end Anthony "The Spider" Aemmer at The Boat. Oh yeah, you've got about 30 minutes to get there.
