Southwest Division Playoffs

dont sleep on DR they had a great game against bellflower

Well it seems as if everyone is getting really pumped for this one, great to see, as stated earlier Gano best coach around along with fair almost unbeatable, problems earlier in season apparently worked out.

Rowland will play Los Altos great in first quarter this is there M.O. if they dont score in first qtr they are not going to score, like others are saying I have seen Los Al against some really good runners and passers Damien, Bonita, St francis and against some large teams and clearly they are a team that has played with the bigger level talent.

As in Damien and bonita, both had running qbers, and by end of second qtr they were really beaten up, key to game not Castanada or foss but actually the D.E.s and they have some real speed and some decent size at this level ray & sam are the best in valley. if the kid from rowland wants to run thats just what Los Al wants him to do he's no Mendrun, and he probably cant make the throws in order to beat them on his own, its clear they have not seen a real passing game all year, although they did see it a bit last week against west co, Also rowland probably going to bring the heat too much and often this is what L/A expects and this kid has seen some size off the edge and coming from the middle L/A will have a field day if they get blitzed, quick passing game to good, also in L/As losses they had aboned the short ball game.

Prediction rowland plays tough for a qtr and a half and then gets frustrated and starts to get on thier coach and then the lights go out, if rowland plays fast thats when Los Al begins to be at thier best against faster teams.

Also Rowland coaches probably know all this and more than likely will come out and try to throw the ball feeling they need to establish this in order to have a good running game, and this will no doubt cause the first frustration for the team. AS it is now stop thier big runner and the rest not good enough to win at this level of play.

Not all doom and gloom here for rowland if Los Altos comes out not ready to play rowland can win, L/A loses caused by big headed kids not being serious and the belief that the rest of the teams after St Francis were going to laydown for them, but honestly from what I hear teams head is on straight now.

From past records 8-2 or 9-1 doesnt matter the loss to Glendora who got whipped by Damien, who got beat by L/A is at all teams true strength, just about where everyone is at now, also cant bet against Gano here.

Just want to congratulate SHAUN ROSENTHAL for being this weeks athlete of the week. Here's hoping you and the rest of WEST COVINA have a great game this week against Mayfair.

Yeah, I agree with Vanner - I don't see what's funny. Players/fans/coaches, lets not kid ourselves, it's the same damn thing. They're all on here.

Rowland Player,
No Thats really not funny. It's expected here because most people in here are'nt players this is how we support you guys on the field. If you dont like it dont log on. But since your here I would like to show my support to you and your Raider teammates and wish you a great victory against L.A.. I think their a better team overall and very well coached but you guys CAN beat them and show everyone how good your program is! Go Raiders!

1fan.. sounds like you barely made grade checks. the way you spell it looks like you have to take some time off the football field and spend more time focused in the classroom.

As for the Los Altos - Rowland game.. should be very interesting. Los Altos is on a 2 game morale boosting win streak, while Rowland has been less than impressive in the last 2 games. It seems as if practice has been going much better for the Raiders, with a revamped scout team giving the 1st string a better look. The first test for the Raiders will begin friday and it is the hopes that both teams will play their best; leaving the field with no regrets. Best of luck to both teams.

Go Raiders!

DONT YOU ALL THINK THAT ITS FUNNY THAT THE FANS TALK MORE SMACK AND BRAGG MORE THAN THE DAMN PLAYERS DO?

P.S GO ROWLAND!

Jhykron -

Most of the teams Tustin has faced is a run oriented offense, however Rancho Verde a more balanced offense and put up 204 yds on them. Villa Park put up 160 on 9 completions and Canyon put up 103 on only 5 completions. Trabuco Hills puts the ball up about 25 times a game. Reilly is a big quarterback but has no wheels, so if Tustin can flush him out of the pocket, they might have some success.

Whichever side you pick on the LA vs RH game, it'll be a great game. Though I am a little scared since LA really does have the potential to beat any team on the brackets and when Rowland gets going, we don't stop. LA is the best team we're gonna play thus far and I'm looking forward to the game. Sorry LA fans, I'm behind Rowland all the way.

WHO'S UP?!

HEIGHTS UP!

ARAM,
i agree with you one hundred percent. curious though to see what you saw on the sidelines on at the west covina vs. rowland game that scares you? scares you meaning that rowland will not come out on top. if not the coaches and coaching, then what was it? man, are you in a tough position with that ? haha, good luck.

I think its going to be a great game..they have had alot of mistakes in the past..but this is a new day and i know Rene Smalls will have a huge game on friday night...most of the players are looking foward to this game and are very hyped...i dont know anything about Los Altos, ive never seen them play but from what i heard they played some very good games..and the games that they lost were all close.. they beat Damien which beat Chino Hills last week and there RB Ira Thomas i heard hes very good..but Rowland has something to prove.. they will overcome that lost from last week and come out playing hard.. ill be down there watchin Philip and Rene lead us to victory

GO ROWLAND!!!!!!!!

ok so i saw the rowland vs wilson game and i have to admit rowland is a oustanding team but dumb mistakes hurt them... BADLY.

great runnning back, quarter back and ok tight end...

haha sounds like LA.

but i think it is going to be a good game.

homefield advantage?

i dont think so.

LA away is 4-1 ..... sounds like they prefer playing away to me?

but Rowland is also 4-1 at home... so this sounds good.

6-4 Los Altos
8-2 Rowland

2 power house teams but which one will come out to play?

can we get some pregame predictions?

Aram,

what are your 1st round predictions?

Buck,

I've got an Inland Division Playoffs thread started below. That's where you'll find all the Glendorans. We're trying to keep the discussions confined to each division's appropriate thread. Believe me, nobody forgot Glendora is dancing this week.

I guess everyone forgot Glendora is playing this week also. I predict we squeek one out, I like our odds, we do very well against teams that win their league (that was a swipe, I couldn't resist). I almost felt sorry for our guys who have to ride to Redlands but then I saw where San Dimas has to travel to, Morro Bay, Geeeeeezzzz, I hope they win, couldn't imagine a 4 hour bus ride after a loss, Good luck to both schools!!!

I completely agree with OCFootball. And I forgot who mentioned bringing the TE's into the game. Rowland's only passing game is within the TE's. Leonard got lucky on Walnut and Nogales (ha what a surprise!). Norys and Gonzo, the two starting TE's are actually not 100% but hey, they are on the field so they must be healthy enough to catch a ball.

As for o-line on the Raider side, if that o-line is driven back an inch, Rowland is in deep dookie. I honestly don't like the coaching staff cause of dumb calls they make. Every game there are dumb calls yes I accept that but when the game results in a loss and you can blame it on the coach, what happens then?

I say if my school starts the engines and goes on all cylinders and maintain that morale, Rowland is going far. If they play like they did with Wilson and West Co, LA will be running up and down the field on us.

With the right blocks, the Chase brothers and Rene Small can do magical things.

Joe -

I said it earlier, it's gonna come down to the o-line. If Chase and Small have time, they can do special things. WestCo played great defense. Rowland just did not click that night. It happens when you have teenagers playing any sport. They made the same mistakes and had the same misfortunes as teams like Servite, Orange Lutheran, Mater Dei, El Dorado and Esperanza. We will see what the Rowland has in store for friday, if they play well, they win. But if they can't sustain their blocks, it will put alot of pressure on Chase and Small. Do you not agree?

Jhykron

Foothill has got a pretty good team this year. They've only lost to Tustin 14-28 and Pac-5 and Trinity #2 Santa Margarita by a very tiny margin of 6-7. Basically, if you can hang with SM and almost beat them, your team has definitely has some skills. SM beat both Long Beach Poly, Mater Dei, and St. John Bosco this year. Considering Foothill could have beat this SM team...you would think that they would be competitive againts the other teams that SM played and beat. I chose this team (Foothill) as my "seeded" dark horse if you will...

OCFootball(yo frog):
I understand what you have to say, and you are right about a great 8-1 run, and it is true that the coaches arent on the field and playing the game, however if theres problems with personel, then they need to be the ones to make adjustments...If your corners are getting burned to the outside, or theres to much penetration on the O-line then adjustments need to be made...bottom line is they have to be ready to play Friday and they will win...I believe when rowland is running on all cylinders they are better than Los Altos and that is hard for me to say considering i am a los altos alum...and as for "Kid" back when i played we didnt have to talk smack to prove we were best and if your gonna talk about rowland not beating wilson by more than 1 point than what do you have to say about Los altos getting in on a coin flip?

OCFootball:

Actually, Tustin doesn't run the Wing-T, they run a variation of the Markham double-wing, though I've seen them go out in power-I and I-wing this year. I haven't seen them split an end yet, though (which would be a complete heresy to that offensive philosophy). Ugly, boring, but brutally effective if you use the wrong defense (ask Lutheran last year).

Out of curiosity, who on their schedule threw the ball well against them? I mean, besides El Dorado, of course.

rowland plays weak teams and they are on top of the world they play glendor and loose, south hills and get lucky wilson and get lucky WEST COVINA and get lucky they didnt get beat down even more now LA and not so lucky. your out

Aram -

I invite you and other SGV football fans to come out and watch the Thursday game between El Dorado v. El Toro. It's at Bradford Stadium in Placentia at 7pm. Come on....its a 20 minute drive from Rowland Hts and just off the 57 freeway. El Dorado is one of the favorites and a great opportunity to pack up the car with the kiddies....take em to Lucille's for dinner, then soak up the playoffs before everyone elses big game on Friday.

Hey OC

No, I am not a Monday Morning QB, and second I have been to every Raider Game. Norys did have trouble holding on to the ball because of an injured thumb, but he has been open how many times thru out the year? and how many times did Chase fail to look his way??? They need to get the TE's involved. Play-Action my friend....

I just think you need to have speed in that secondary and Rene is faster then Chase. What is Snyder afraid of?

It will not be any easy game for Rowland, heck it might even turn out to be shoot out and suprise everyone. You never know!

Unitl tomorrow....Van earl wishes you a pleasant evening. I'm Out!

Nice, the Snoop Dog reference finally caught up to Rowland. Why did it take somebody from the OC?

Ruff -

Hey why don't you, Van Joke and all the other finger pointers draft up your new 4-4 defense and show Coach Snyder how your 8 in-the-box scheme will stop a QB who has thrown over 1800 yards and 19 tds on Friday! Hey, this is not Jr All American and you are not Snoop Dog!

Van Earl Smack,

I'll be honest, I'm very worried about Rowland and it's not because of Los Altos. I don't root for one local team against the other. Whomever wins, I'm happy for them and whomever loses I'm sad for. I just hope our local teams have their typcial great showings. I don't care who it is. Having said that, I saw some things from Rowland that should make Raiders fans very concerned and it has ZERO to do with coaching.

Jhykron -

That Tustin/Trabuco game is going to be very interesting to watch. Tustin cannot play pass defense very well and Trabuco is going to have its hands full stopping the wing-t. This style offense always gives teams fits in the playoffs. Trabuco has a very good passing game. This game should be a complete offensive shoot-out. I think this game comes down to turnovers and whoever has the ball last.

Tustin 42 Trabuco 35

actually i do agree with van earl smack.. adding an extra linebacker would be better for rowland for stopping the run. Philip and Leonard need to communicate better too if they want to stop getting beat with the pass.

Hey Smack,

Yes....let's discuss your horrible evaluation to a team who was 8-1 and going into their last game of the season! Let's talk about adjusting a team who was winning every game and lost to a close one to Glendora. You wanna make changes to success? Or are you talking about converting Chase to a linebacker in the 3rd quarter? Add an extra linebacker? West Co's QB killed them in the air too if you remember. So you wanna remove a guy back there and stop the run, yet you couldn't stop the pass too! Are you new or just a monday morning quarterback?

Quick 3 step drop and hit the tight end? How many times did you miss that play.....they TRIED it! But when your tight end is playing one handed its difficult to keep calling his number. He was in their because he's a great athlete but he had a hard time with his hand. And...quick passes don't work when your O-line is getting pushed back faster than your QB can drop back!

West Covina played great football....stop looking for someone to blame. I can already see you creating excuses for Fridays game!

You Van Smack are a monday morning joke!

Hey 1FAN & OCFOOTBALL,

First of all it's ROWLAND not Roland....if you are going to talk smack, then get it right. Yeah, West Covina played a good game, and look what they got: a first round match-up with an undefeated Team. Oh well, at least West Co will be able to have Thanksgiving with their families instead of practicing. And then on Friday, they can enjoy a family outing in Rowland Heights watching the Raiders in round 2.

As for you, Mr. OCFOOTBALL....it's not bashing Coach Snyder, it's mearly pointing out that adjustments need to be made on both sides of the ball. I agree that WC played solid defense and Rene looked very frustrated, but the O-Line failed their assignment, ADJUSTMENT: Could of had Case do quick two step drops and hit quick slants over the middle, or how about play-action and hitting the tight ends.....WC Coaching staff probably knew that Rene would get the ball quite a bit. When Rowland had 1st and goal on the one yard line, everyone in the Stadium knew they would run it four times. So, why not a play-action and a fade to your tigh-end?? I guarantee WC would have bit on it........

DEF ADJUSTMENT: Add a Linebacker, so if the line gets beat, you have additional coverage. Philip & Leonard are quick but they don't recognize the run fast enough. They need to quickly get to the line of scrimmage and stop the long gains. One suggestion, put Rene as a safety. Bring Philip or Leonard closer to the line. Rene is the fastest and one of the toughest kids on the Team , yet he doesn't play Defense. Why? There are other kids who go both ways? Against Los Altos, you are going to need speed on defense to hold them.

So, do you still want to question adjustments????

This is the second season, and it's time to do whatever it takes.

Aram, you have been to many games....am I on the right track here?

I would appreciate your comments.

Very nice, Jhykron. Looks good!

Okay, looking at the matchups:

Westco vs Mayfair (Calpreps: Mayfair 28, Westco 19):
Mayfair's favored, but not by as much as some people think. They're good, but they're also somewhat overrated and nowhere near as good as #2 seed El Dorado. I say 24-21 Mayfair, but if the West Covina of week 10 shows up again, it would not surprise me if they upset convincingly.

Tustin vs Trabuco (Calpreps: Tustin 28, Trabuco 14):
Tustin has some wicked athletes this season, Trabuco is merely solid. 36-16 Tustin.

La Mirada vs. Charter Oak (Calpreps: CO 22, LM 7):
La Mirada took 3rd in a pretty weak (outside of Mayfair) league. Charter Oak is solid on D but struggles to get points on the board. Give La Mirada a bit more credit than the first matchup due to familiarity... say CO 21, LM 13.

South Hills vs Canyon: (Calpreps: Canyon 28, SH 19) Tough call, as I haven't seen Canyon. South Hills, when healthy (not often this season), is a solid team in all facets of the game, Canyon has impressive close wins over Kennedy and Tustin, and a less impressive close win over an average Villa Park. I'll give South Hills more credit than Freeman, and say the score is 27-26 Canyon.

Artesia vs. Foothill (Calpreps: Foothill 35 Artesia 14): I'm not sure how good Foothill really is, but Artesia is pretty bad. Foothill 42, Artesia 7.

Los Altos vs. Rowland (Calpreps: Los Altos 27, Rowland 22): What's to be said? If LA doesn't give away the ball, they should win, but they've been giving away the ball all year. The coaches tell me they like what they've seen in this extra week of practice (for what that's worth), so with that said, LA 27, Rowland 13.

Bellflower vs. Diamond Ranch (Calpreps: Diamond Ranch 21, Bellflower 19): Diamond Ranch has some good talent and quality coaching, but the team has struck me as a bit undisciplined, hurting themselves with unnecessary penalties and bad on-field decisions. I'm guessing frustration with the early schedule and the growing pains of a new system account for a lot of this. Bellflower is pretty average. The Calpreps prediction is probably a good call, so I'll go with it.

El Toro vs. El Dorado: (Calpreps: El Dorado 35, El Toro 12) El Dorado is the best team in the division, El Toro is pretty interchangeable with Trabuco Hills. El Dorado 35, El Toro 10.

ROLAND IS LUCKY THEY GOT 1SEED BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE OUT FIRST GAME IF THEY PLAY WHO WEST COVINA AND SOUTH HILLS PLAY. JUST LOOK ON HOW HAPPY THEY ARE..... GO BULLDOGS

If WestCo gets through the first 2 rounds, they will demolish CO and the rest of the southwest division at that point. Those 3 teams up there (Mayfair, Tustin and Trabuco) are nasty tough. You get through them, you've earned it!

I've had the chance to see D. Ranch, C. Oak, Los Altos, and West Co. play this season and feel all four should win Friday night. Being a SGV homer, I hope South Hills comes back from the OC with a victory. But those Century League teams are tough (Tustin, El Dorado, Canyon).

For what it is worth, Calpreps.com has projected all three Miramonte teams winning.

My final four picks are West Co., C. Oak, Los Altos, and El Dorado with El Dorado winning it all.

Jenny just wants everyone to know who called this game first!! Last week my brothers and sisters. And before Aram jumped on my band wagon I picked LA last week as well. Jenny Craig knows all

Hey....ease up on the Rowland fans. This opportunity for the school doesn't come up very often. It's not a school rich in Football tradition and this is a special year for them. Allow them their 15 minutes of fame....it's been a fun team to watch this year. Consider them the Rutgers of high school football this year.

But...on another note, I'm tired of seeing the Coach Snyder bashing and the talk of adjustments. When your offensive line is getting blown backwards on every play, adjustments are tough to make. I thought West Covina's defense played very well and penetrated almost every play. Hard for Chase and Small to do anything. When Rowland did lay a block, Small busted good runs. Rowland just made too many mistakes out there. Eliminate the mistakes and control the line of scrimmage, then they win this Friday.

It doesn't matter what happen the first ten games because like any other sport, the Play-offs signify a new Season.

Rowland will have a tough contest against Los Altos. But can they win? Of course they can win, because in the play-offs, it's what you bring to the table that night. Anybody can beat anybody on any night....Look what happen in the NFL yesterday? Look what happen Saturday in College?

Los Altos is playing better football right now then Rowland, so the Raiders need to get back the intensity they had the first five games. One problem you have, is Gano will not get himself outcoached unlike Snyder who doesn't make very good adjustments. A good Coach recognizes concerns and makes adjustments. Robinson has been poor all season with his play calling and it's time to retire after the season. Let's face it, running up the middle 2 out of 3 plays does not win Championships expecially when your line fails their blocking assignments. Rene gets the extra yardage with strength and heart. And when are Robinson and Chase going to realize that your secret weapon is Norys! Almost everytime he sneaks into the secondary, he is open & he will catch the ball. Throw him the ball...it is not rocket science, but their is that adjustment again......Snyder. If you plan on getting by Los Altos, you better have that talk with Robinson.....runs up the middle against an experienced team like Los Altos will not work every play. You can't have your defense on the field 2/3 of the game. They will tire and if you get behind, they will quit.

Get them fired up this week! Have a good week of practice......it's not about what happened before............it's now about Heart!!

Van Earl wishes you a pleasant day! GOOD LUCK ROWLAND!!

honestly, i support rowland the whole way but i can honestly and truthfully say, rowland isnt going far in the playoffs. ill refrain from posting my reasons but im just saying id be VERY VERY surprised if we beat LA and progressing through first and second round. i can say id be astounded if rowland makes it to semi finals and im a rowland student that supports the raiders dearly. but im a firm supporter of "prove me wrong"

so once again rowland you didnt prove me wrong last year against santa fe this season rowland baby prove me wrong.

WHO'S UP?!

HEIGHTS UP!

p.s. rowland player is pissed off cause aram hasnt really spoke up on anything about rowland the whole season. or maybe thats what i think? hmm who cares its playoffs not season anymore.

you guys are right i apologize for getting on aram he is doing his job, and im not saying dont come, im just saying i wouldent want ne one who dosent think were going to win on our side. its just seems weired to me that people would cheer for teams they dont have faith in thinking there team is actually gonna win.

but best of luck to los altos its gonna be a hell of a game!

oh and GO RAIDERS!!

ROWLAND PLAYER,

dont worry about what aram says, he's just doing his job. he's not supossed to just be supporting rowland.. go out there and prove everyone wrong

Rowland Player

Just because Aram makes a prediction againts your school does NOT mean that he is taking any sides. This is the LAST thing any sports journalist (who covers multiple teams) would want to do or be labeled as doing. When a paper or a sports journalist has been acting in a biased manner, the paper will lose readers. This is the last thing the SGV Tribune would want.

Aram calls them as he sees them and you should respect his opinion because there is a reason that he is doing the job that he is doing. There have been MANY a time when Aram chose Amat to lose....Did you see any of us crying about it??? The answer is NO! So grow some class and in a hurry. I'm so tired of you Rowland fans getting all worked up over silly stuff like this....so please...stick to stats and the game of football instead of drowning everyone with your tears.

I personally am looking foward to Los Altos silencing these pesky/whiny Raider fans once and for all.

WHOSE WITH ME!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

GO CONQUERORS!!!!!!!

I can't wait till LA goes into Rowland n shows who the top dogs really are in "the Heights"

Rowland Player relax n well just have to wait and see on what happens on Friday ...

But mark My words, LA will come out with the victory, and I doubt you will have anything to say on this blog after Friday.

LISTEN "KID" WHO IN THE HELL DO YOU PLAY FOR IF YOU WANNA TALK ALL THIS SMACK? MAN UP

AND ARAM THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT

"I've got Canyon and Mayfair in one semifinal and El Dorado and Los Altos in the other"

YOU MIGHT AS WELL STAY ON THERE SIDE IF YOUR GONNA MAKE SUCH A BOLD PREDICTION

oh good...thats going to be a great game to watch.i cant wait to see what happens on friday night.

Ruff Ruff,

I will be at Rowland vs. LA.

Boy they really stuck it to the San Antonio league! Mayfair, Canyon and Los Altos. Los Altos might be a fair draw, but a team with tradition. San Antonio league....you may be short lived. I only see Rowland as having a shot.

Aram

will you be attending any of these games?

rowland fan. shut up and sit down. talk to us when you beat wilson by more than 1 point

MARK MY WORDS

ROWLAND WILL SHOCK THE SOUTHWEST DIVISION

JUST REMEBER WHO DOUBTED US....CUZ WE WILL

Aram Los Altos truly is a darkhorse in the playoffs. They are such an unpredictable team with a roller coaster season. but like everyone else says, what LA team will show up? When LA wins they usually have the lead at halftime and put teams away early with a steady offense and a sound D. Thus if LA comes out like they did against Damien or Wilson then they got this win. They must show up with intensity and fire like they have before. Coming out flat like they have vs DRanch and Western will result in an early 1st round loss, which is considered a bad season compared to years before.

LA has a low seed but I doubt any team will be happy knowing they have them in the playoffs.

Good Luck LA.

We don't need prediction do your jobs 110 percent all the time and win the football game thats my prediction.

Mr jim garrison i agree with you its a tossup but we have to play smart football to beat los altos they have a outstanding coaching staff that i respect alot because they know how to make adjustments in the middle of the game or when ever at that.Raiders need to have a great week of practice,work hard,be on time,and focus and most of all come out hitting like you ever did before play rowland football like you have all season long with exception to the last couple games its a new season.

The LA-Rowland game is a tossup to me. Even as a Raider fan I do admit LA has a better overall team and better coaching. That being said... which LA shows up for the game? Of course the fact remains had Rowland not gotten whooped by West Covina they might have been looking at the 3 or 4 seed.

I'm not gonna make predictions game by game. I hope Rowland wins a couple and makes a run but it'll be tough.

I will say this, this is pretty much SGV vs. the OC. And let's hope the Valley takes it to Seth, Ryan, Marissa, and Summer. Welcome to the SGV!!!!! This is how we do!!!!

TOP BRACKET ===> The only team thats going to survive round 1 is going to be Charter Oak. This wont be easy because La Mirada will be looking to avenge a 20-3 loss to the Chargers earlier in the season. Mayfair and Canyon are just too powerful this year. Tustin is also in this bracket! I see both those schools routing both West Covina and South Hills.

BOTTOM BRACKET ==> Los Altos will defeat Rowland...finally. And it really does not matter because the winner of this game is going to get routed by FOOTHILL. Foothill barely lost to Pac-5 SANTA MARGARITA 6-7. Santa Margarita has wins over LONG BEACH POLY 9-7, MATER DEI 17-7, and St. John Bosco 28-23.

Diamond Ranch will get past Bellflower but then they will get routed by El Dorado who already routed CANYON 35-0 and Tustin 42-27.

Early Prediction For Final...

Mayfair vs. Foothill

Los Altos team or coaches keep pressure or blitz the QB and he will make mistakes. he did well with the teams that werent that good but with a team like LA you should be able to make him choke. I saw the WEST COVINA game and they were all over him and he did nothing. go Los Altos DEFENCE will win this game

i got a good feeling about Rowland taking this one baby.

GO ROWLAND

Los Altos @ Rowland.. hmmm, this may quiet half the posters in here when this game is over.
