Mid-Valley Division Playoffs

Temple City's Dwight Broadnax has his Rams poised to add another CIF title to the collection.
NOTEWORTHY: The Rio Hondo League got the Nos. 1 and 2 seeds in the division. It's rare that a second place team will get a seed that high. Duarte drew Rio Hondo League third place finisher La Canada. This is a much better matchup for a Montview League champ than what they'd get in the old Division X.
Aram's prediction: I've got Temple City and La Canada playing in one semifinal with Monrovia playing Bishop Diego in the other. Temple City and Monrovia will rematch for the championship with the Rams winning again, but closer than last time.
Aram's darkhorse: La Canada. Lavelle Peterson might be the best overall player in the division. Sometimes, that's good enough to make a run. Remember, LC gave TC a very good game and not too much separates any of the powerful RHL teams.

For the people basing their predictions that Workman will lose tonight on stats and actual reasoning, I have to admit that I see where you're coming from, given our past. For those of you whose teams just aren't IN the playoffs and you're just envious, you can at least give credit where credit is due. We have no pop warner feeder program. We have no home field. We have only athletes that for some reason haven't opted for "better" programs at Los Altos or Wilson. We have problems with player eligibility and low numbers. And after all that, our AWESOME coaches have managed to pull this team together and achieve a 7-3 overall record and only one loss in league play. What will happen with Bishop Diego? I don't know. We could definitely lose, but if we don't it will be a victory well-deserved. We just don't get success like this that often so let the haters be silenced already! We deserve this!!!
as you can see workman has a lot of support behind them riding into this game. i think some people are just not able to accept the fact that we went from winning 3 games the previous four seasons, to 7 this season. so they still think we're trash. talk all you want, but we'll do our talking on the field against BD
Philly you sound like the guy who wished he played but never laced them up. So your opinion doesnt even count!
Workman??????? get bishop diego and monrovia. I think you need to take it one game at a time with that team. I mean for crying out loud there not even ranked

I dont see a duarte upset against la canada. Yes the spartans are one dimensional but yet other than monrovia who has stopped peterson. I dont know of anyone. And yeah TC put a whippin to monrovia but know it was a close heavyweight fight until the fourth quarter where broadnax put in the last two punches. I believe the first rounds will be predictable but its the 2nd rounds that got me thinking. Assuming TC gets past sierra vista. Will they be able to handle Verbum Dei. Assuming Monrovia clobbers azuza and la salle pulls an upset against fillmore. Will the rematch be all what everyone wants it to be. I cant wait these payoffs will be very exciting
Workman the team know one say coming? What exactly caused the drastic change?
everyone says this and that about workman
workman is getting lucky and stuff like that
well you kno what we didnt get 7-3 5-1 in league just being lucky
sure we havnt played a complete game yet but honestly
we're going places
beleive it or not we are!
and bishop diego is the first to feel what we got coming the rest of the way
TC beat Monrovia because they wanted it more. Monrovia thought they were going to roll TC and they were showed why TC is simply, better. Undoubtedly Monrovia has more talent than any other Rio Hondo team, but they don't do anything with it.
At least the fans are still supporting the team. It's good to know you can still hold your head up that high after getting shalacked by a team that played twice as hard.
people can say all they want about workman not getting past first round, but workmans going to santa barbara this friday with a purpose...... to show everyone that they are for reals, people say they've been getting lucky this season, well how do you call 7-3, 5-1 in league lucky? Aram..... you have Bishop Diego and Monrovia in the lower Semi Finals, well if workman does knock them off do you think that would be us?
the different between monrovia and glendora is that peterson is the only person on that team that get the ball. and he plays defensive end that is a lot of pounding he takes. the best back i have seen in years tho. duarte likes to pound the ball that could wear him down. i went to the monrovia & la canda. that dude is good but the team is it very 1 dimentional. duarte has a good chance as long as they pound the ball.
What if workman won the first round possible appearance in the CIF finals maybe?

M town are you serious open your eyes!
OK, Duarte could win..But, I don't see them stopping Lavell Peterson...Peterson is about as good as James Davis and Duarte couldn't stop Davis or Edmond from Glendora....
Davis vs. Duarte...14 rushes 137yds 48LONG
Edmond vs. Duarte...12rushes 171yds 53LONG 2 td's
workman is going to lose in the first round, sorry but its true.
What's about the falcons??? Duarte has put up several points on the board each and every week and its defence has been its strong point I really think that hey could win in the first round
workman has a great chance of making it to the second round....they are facing a good oppenent....evenly matched....should be a great game to watch....workman has a great team this year and a great offense and defense...if they play a complete game this time....woooooo!!!! there going places!!!!
I would not simply give the title game outright to the RHL. Crazy things happen in the playoffs, but it would not really take anything crazy to knock of either of the three RHL teams. That holds true for anybody in the CIF. We're talking about a bunch of high school kids, right?
Go Workman Lobos! You all have done a great job all year! Now shift gears and really start "ROLLIN"!
I wouldn't just give it to the Wildcats as of yet.
Has workman really played a complete game and showed their true potential?how do you prepare for a offense like workmans? The offense really fits the team. Workmans coaches looked at their players and their abilities and found the offense for them. The defense is very good but has a couple of loose ends but nothing that cant be fixed. Lets see what happens!

after watching film on the bishop deigo and workman films both teams match up well but actually i think workman has more team speed. So it should be a close game. So dont sleep on the lobos that spread offense is giving teams fits lately...look for a upset..lobos dream season continue....
dont sleep on monrovia tc cant beat them 2x in 1 year.
The Lobo's dream season continues!
workmans in the playoffs!!! woooooooo!
good luck lobos
play hard
I know Monrovia's starting linemen who is a Captain as well...The wildcats are going to win this pathetic division..WOW, could it get any easier for the Wildcats.?We might as well give them the trophy right now...
