to TRUTH why are you being a hater leave these boys alone and why are even you comparing there kids r u trying to stirr any trouble!!

I AM THE ORIGINAL BLEEDS BLUE AND GOLD...

Annonymous copied Concened Parents post on multiple threads. in the interest of keeping all the eggs in one basket, I would suggest placing all responses in the Outback thread since it is the newest.

This is my first time posting : Many people our talking about the recruitment process that the local high schools are doing in the near future
When Bishop Amat wakes up they will have nothing in there lower levels programs ( Freshman or JV )
football teams example: Youth Programs that High Schools are involved in : Charter Oak Chargers JAA > Charter Oak High School , Covina Vikings JAA> Covina High School , East LA Bobcats JAA >Cantwell High School , West Covina Bruins JAA > South Hills School } Bishop Amat Lancers ARE NOT involved in any youth programs and they should be involved w/ there surrounding cities like La Puente Warriors or West Covina Bruins now this leads me to my next point. When Hell week starts
at Bishop they will lose 10 to 12 kids because they will be transfering out to South Hills,Charter Oak,Covina , Cantwell , Los altos
You would think someone at Bishop would ask themselves why our all these players leaving after they alreay paid for Summer Program $250.00
Registration for 2007 $300.00 1st payment(July) for Tution $520.00 .2nd payment ( Aug.) for Tution 520.00 Sponser form $180.00. The point of the matter is there is MAJOR problem at Bishop and its not Local Coaches Recruiting practices I hope we can all agree with that . I strongly say this if parents and players are happy with Bishop NO Coach could have stole any player out of Bishop I hope we can agree with that statment too . Its late now this I will have a web site in place next week addressing the conduct of players and staff at Bishop . Please sent this to Varsity HC( Verti)JV HC ( Canalles) Frosh HC ( Parker)They all had there chance to keep key players in there program but I can say this they just DONT CARE and they rely only on Bishop name NOT there Hard Work . God Bless everyone in there difficult decision to stay or go to a different school

anonymous,
why would you even say something like that.please show a little bit of class, and why would you as a grown adult be speaking or listening to kids about stuff like that.

Maybe Gano used her as a incentive to land his QB Junior Tomato...The girls soft ball team at Amat are going to start tranfering any moment now to Los Altos.

No, but I do know some of the kids on the freshman team, and they are betting who is going to get with his daughter first. Especially since Gano already told them that she is off limits.

i wonder if all you guys out there who think they know gano so well are going to accuse of him a recruiting his daughter next year, after he becomes head softball coach

Sounds like wishful thinking to me.

Hard to believe Gano, with all his "recruiting" experience, would allow himself to be scrutinized by leaving tracks.

Word has it that Junior Tamayo was contacted directly by coach Gano and there was talk between the two before Junior Tranferred over from Amat...when Junior left the first time and then went back to Amat and tried out for WR the talks were going on and then Junior Bolted back to LA after he was told he would get the QB position.

CIF is coming after you Gano and Bogan. it is just a matter of time. It is a female in charge of this investigation and she is a real Pistol.

if "Gano's Recruiting Inc" son is a bench warmer at Amat - that just sets him up to be a future Los Altos starter down the road.
What's that tell you?

Football Junkie,
Are you a Los Amat Fan? How much of the total offensive output will be creditedto the Los Amat Lancer players? 50%? 80%? 93.675%?

Gano's Recruiting Inc.,

Your son plays for Amnot. 1 at of 40 father's.Huh, only 22 get to play and some go both ways.

Now let me give you a few more hints.

OOPS! I narrowed it down to bench warmer.

See you on the recruiting circuit.

Some of us have people like you! That work for me for a living.

(I hope not!)

Keep working you'll need it for the tuition.

"They are letting them all hang themselfs.....C.I.F. is coming and they will be coming strong....Violations that will be dealt with.

Or... nothing at all happens, and all the people trying to stir sh-- er... stuff up crawl back into whatever holes they emerged from.

hey westcovina bruin 2001

your whole tamayo/robles thing u got it all wrong. while they were growing up robles had been better more athletic taller better arm than tamayo. and the stuff is still the same. i just think your a tamyo fan that probbably hate on robles because theres alot of people at that park that dont like robles because he was better than the supposibly golden boy tamayo. and for your little system thing robles was already one hell of a qb comin into high school i even heard that he was gunna start his freshman year and trust me robles would of took that job at bishop in a breeze they have no talent there what so ever tamayo just not a qb face it u guys tamyo just not a qb robles is better and will probbably play in college while tamayo and his dad will cherish the times they had in jaa

Football Junkie,

Some of us work for a living.

You are showing your lack of intelligence. From what I here Wilson gets a lot of recruits from LA. Lets think real hard, where does Gano recruit from the most...... Amat. Now that I have given you the school lets move on.

Now I will give you a few more hints.

I am smarter than you. Oh I'm sorry everyone over here is smarter than you.

My son plays on the Amat freshman team. Now that I have narrowed it down to 40 fathers, oops my son plays for Amat I mean over 100 fathers.

Funny yes. True no.
Only thing Tamayo is starting is to sweat with CIF coming in.
"tomato, tomayo"

Different Strokes going on over at LA....wonder if McBride, Seanez, Maciel, and Tillis are living in one of those high rise Penthouses like the Drumonds....on Gano's Dime.

Funniest post on this blog! Where's Mr. Drummond to teach a lesson to some of these bloggers?

Starting LA QB, is Tamayo

"What you talking bout Tillis"?

WOW!

Shut you guys up right away.
I new you bloggers were from Wilson.

You guys over there always talking crap about Los Altos.

I think that's the first time in a while anyone mentioned Wilson on this blog.

Good luck with yourselves.

COACH ......................

wow!!! i'm amazed of all the haters out there!!!get a life!!

!!!!

Gano's Recruiting Inc.,

OK, So what do you think.
Should I send my kids to WILSON.
Because I know they have a winning tradition.
And they have those new freshman coaches from
popwarner.

Wilson! Wilson!

Rah! Rah! RAh!

From what I have read there is a lot more than one person knocking Gano's Recruiting tactics. Aram removed most of them last weekend.

By the way last time I check you can recruit freshman.

I also didn’t know that you were going to check my spelling, next time I will run it through spell checker just for you.

Gano's Recuriting, "it's (recruiting) bonehead"

Are you calling Nick Longoria a bad player. That's who replaced him.

I guess choosing Los Altos as a freshman makes you recruited.

The coaches at LA put him there because he was a better player period.

"When you have completed football 101 come back and talk to me about the five spots on the offensive line."

Ah, I see. You don't know what the hell you're talking about, so you change your argument to attacking me. Real mature.

"But, the bottom line is everyone out their knows that GANO's system is built on RECURITING not Coaching."

Well, YOU obviously want everyone to think this. Fortunately for Gano, the words of some bitter, anonymous guy on a blog don't carry much weight, eh?

Jhykron,

My comment - "Well you want more detail here you go. Senior that lost his job to Gano's recurit, CJ."

Your comment - Not quite. To lose a job on the line, you'd need to get beat by 5 other linemen. LA has had about 2 line transfers in Gano's 10 years there.

When you have completed football 101 come back and talk to me about the five spots on the offensive line.

We can sit here and go back and forth with all this information. You can say what you want and I can say what I want. But, the bottom line is everyone out their knows that GANO's system is built on RECURITING not Coaching.

Gano's Biggest Hater:

"Well you want more detail here you go. Senior that lost his job to Gano's recurit, CJ."

Not quite. To lose a job on the line, you'd need to get beat by 5 other linemen. LA has had about 2 line transfers in Gano's 10 years there.

"First of all he is the one that told me,"

Right. The guy who always argued for the platoon to continue told you that.

"go figure, wounder why he isn't the QB coach at LA any more."

Couldn't possibly be because he gets to call the offense at his new school...

"Lets talk about another Quarterback situation, ask Castaneda father where he got the down payment on the place he was renting in Hacienda Heights."

Interesting piece of innuendo there. Maybe you'd care to enlighten us... or better yet the CIF offices? No?

"Gano made this comment on the phone. I tell you this much, if I was Gano with as many people that he has pissed off I wouldn't be making comments like that one on the phone."

Yeah, sure. Gano's biggest obsessive hater listens to all his phone calls.

"As far as some of you LA ban wangoners making the comment that the line coach or the qb coach has the final say on who wins the spot, GANO is the Head Coach, Gano has the final say"

Yes, and his final say is to let his position coaches do their jobs. Which is why they coach for him.

Jhykron,

"So far you haven't put any detail, just vague hearsay. Half your "incidents" are fabricated and the other half didn't happen nearly the way you interperet them."

Well you want more detail here you go. Senior that lost his job to Gano's recurit, CJ. If you know LA as well as I do you know who I am talking about, ask him.

Quarterback situations,

"Ummm... not even close. Ask coach Urudia at Northview about the QB competition at LA in 2003 (since he was the LA QB coach then)."

First of all he is the one that told me, go figure, wounder why he isn't the QB coach at LA any more.

Lets talk about another Quarterback situation, ask Castaneda father where he got the down payment on the place he was renting in Hacienda Heights.

Here's another one, don't known who Gano was talking to on the phone but the comment came out something like this "You come over here and you will be the man". Gano made this comment on the phone. I tell you this much, if I was Gano with as many people that he has pissed off I wouldn't be making comments like that one on the phone.

As far as some of you LA ban wangoners making the comment that the line coach or the qb coach has the final say on who wins the spot, GANO is the Head Coach, Gano has the final say. That's how every other program works in the sgv. If it worked that way you are telling us Aguilar has the final say on who is starting at qb this year, right.

wc high,
I doubt your a West Covina poster, otherwise you'd
know that our QB's are'nt that bad, you're probably a South Hills poster and are trying to make wc look bad.

Tamayo go to West Covina we need a QB and guess what you will play LA CO SH and upland amd MD. make the change before its to late. we need a QB

The CIF is looking into SH and LA for recruiting violations?..someone dropped the bomb on the CIF office...

Response: WC Bruins

Well said...in twelve or less sentences.

Big Dad,

You are right with the Tamayo / Robles JAA days. My kid played on that team. Truth of the matter is that Tamayos Dad was a coach and had lots of pull in that league at that time. Tamayo was a very good QB and so was Robles it could have gone either way back then. Influence and politics played a big part in that. Robles parents were ones not to talk and took what the league gave them and never complained. Tables have turned and Robles out grew Tamayo but then again who hasn't out grown him. Thats why he was out of the running as Amats QB this year. If you are 5'7 and have to see over 6' plus D and O lineman chances are you will throw lots of picks out of hurried throws. Robles is doing a fine job over at Northview but the same would happen to him if he was over at Amat. He would not be the starter. Systems make players. Northview is great for Robles. Tamayo is seaching for a home,, yes he is ,and he should have done that his sophmore or junior year...big mistake to be doing this in your senior year...If he does not win the starting position over at Los Altos his dad will have egg all over his face for trying this so late in his sons HS playing days..........

hey u know what i found out from one of the dads at a passing league? i found out that junior tamyo and his dad since the age of 7 has always pushed out a great player of the name of Oscar Robles from Northview. I heard that Robles had to play another position because he supposibly wasnt good enough. but aram hes one of your 10 ten QBs in the valley and tamyo is still looking for a home ha. maybe this is what tamyo has longed deserved. i even heard that robles quit his last year of pop warner football because he was told he wolud never be better than tamayo. wow. let me see Robles up and rising star in the valley or tamyo a transfer still looking for a home nowere near robles's expectations and potential. thats karma really bad for u

Guy who is bitter about Gano:

"Check again not a single Junior All American Coach is Coaching at Wilson. Get your facts straight."

PW, JAA... same difference. Kids are following their coaches.

"you make all these comments with no facts to back them up"

Pots... Kettles... whadaya know.

"I have seen a senior at LA who started as a junior on the varsity team get replaced by one of Gano's recruits (Sophomore.). Then work his a** off to win the spot back to only be told by the line coach that his decision was vetoed by Gano."

This would be a lie. Neither Howing nor Fair have ever been "vetoed" for who they start on the line. And knowing those two coaches I'm pretty confident they wouldn't coach for someone who pulled that.

"I have seen Gano tell his local starting senior quarter that he is going to have to share the duties with a junior Gano recruit."

Ummm... not even close. Ask coach Urudia at Northview about the QB competition at LA in 2003 (since he was the LA QB coach then).

"I have more detail put if I put it Aram will delete my posting."

So far you haven't put any detail, just vague hearsay. Half your "incidents" are fabricated and the other half didn't happen nearly the way you interperet them.

But you already know that. If you really had anything on Gano you'd turn it over to CIF and they'd be on LA like Edison, Dominguez, and other recent unfortunate schools that broke the rules. Instead you anonymously backbite on blogs.

"Gano's Recruiting Inc."

Check the below link for your demographics "facts". See how the asian students have risen, and the white/black students have fallen off over the last 10-15 years

http://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/

.

Also, there may not be any HH JAA coaches at Wilson, but there are more than one coach(s) from HH Pop Warner coaching at Wilson. I met one at the LA stadium field two months ago working out a couple of his kids. He tried to get my 13 year old to play PW instead of JAA, then recommended he go to Wilson instead of LA for high school(ROFL).

Silly Rabbit

"Take the blinders off" and "BTW" you make all these comments with no facts to back them up. I personally know the kids that have gone to LA over the last few years and are going to LA. I see these kids work so hard for the man and then see him dump them to the curb when he recruits someone to replace them. I have seen a senior at LA who started as a junior on the varsity team get replaced by one of Gano's recruits (Sophomore.). Then work his a** off to win the spot back to only be told by the line coach that his decision was vetoed by Gano. I have seen Gano tell his local starting senior quarter that he is going to have to share the duties with a junior Gano recruit. I have more detail put if I put it Aram will delete my posting.

BTW,

My Comment - "LA has about 45 kids out their right now. I've seen that with my own eyes."

BTW response - "Couldn't have anything to do with the local Junior All America coach joining the Wilson staff this year, could it?"

Check again not a single Junior All American Coach is Coaching at Wilson. Get your facts straight.

Take the blinders off,

Take the blinders off response - "If you think LA's frosh numbers are low, go check HH Wilson's. Both schools have been hit hard by the demographic change (Wilson more so) brought on by the Chinese influx to the "Temple" (it does keep the property values up though...)."

I just called a friend that goes to Wilson they are up this year.

ARAM,

Where's my post? To factual? What gives?

stop whinnning about all this recruiting look at south hills he's from monrovia and goes to a school in west covina

"Gano's Recuriting Inc"

If you're a frosh player coming into LA, and you're worried about losing "your" job to a recruit when you're a senior, then you really aren't that good to begin with.

If you think LA's frosh numbers are low, go check HH Wilson's. Both schools have been hit hard by the demographic change (Wilson more so) brought on by the Chinese influx to the "Temple" (it does keep the property values up though...).

Bad coach, or not, you're a fool if you think Gano is handing out promises of starting positions for recruiting purposes. Why would he promise anything more than a fair shot/reps at a position, when a better option may show up on his door at any time?

Get a clue.

Gano's Recruiting Inc:
(amusing name BTW)

"LA has about 45 kids out their right now. I've seen that with my own eyes."

Couldn't have anything to do with the local Junior All America coach joining the Wilson staff this year, could it?

"Everyone knows that if they want to play of the varsity team at LA go to another school wait for the call then make the move your spot is locked up,"

Wow. Really. "Everyone" knows this. Obviously except the CIF office, the local papers, most of Gano's coaching staff, and the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District, of course.

"They always have some of the best athletics in the valley, but no coaching."

I dare you to tell Thomas, Bogan, or Farrar that Gano, Fair, Howing, Dimarco, Aguilar, Reeder, and Flores can't coach. You'd get laughed out of the room.

Always have some of the best athletics in the valley? If by always you mean 2000 and 2003, maybe. Try looking at LA's depth charts some of those other years.

"Why do you think Castaneda father went to St. Paul to work with the High School kids over their and not stay at LA and work with these great coaches?"

Remind me why the LA coaching staff would want Mr. Castaneda...

"I have seen Gano kick a kid off his team because he wore the color shorts to practice one day."

Not even remotely true. Where do you come up with this BS?

"Gano’s complete STARTING backfield is recruits that haven’t played a single game at LA."

McBride is a transfer.
The QB may be a transfer.
Jeff Martinez is not a transfer.

You lose. Thanks for playing. Take your "Gano peed in my oatmeal" sticker on the way out.

Gano's Recruiting Inc.:

Okay, first let me agree with you on one thing. I think the lack of freshmen players out for this year's LA summer camp at COULD be a sign of displeasure with the current transfer situation...again, COULD be. I know if I was a parent I would not be very excited about the idea of sending my kid to a school where he is possibly going to get replaced in a couple years. On the other hand it is, quite possibly, just a typical lull in the cycle and not a dooms-day sign.

Now allow me to disagree with you on something...Whoever claimed that Los Altos has the "best coaching staff in the valley" was probably a bit of a homer and biased. I don't know that I would go that far, but let's be honest. There are a lot of schools out there that have talent, many that have better talent than LA, and few of them have had the continued success of this program. That is not talent alone that has been winning CIF and League titles...come on.

The coaching staff at LA is like most others in the valley...a dedicated, caring bunch of guys who love football and work hard with their kids to get the most out of them. Don't come in here with your pessimism and claim that all they care about is recruiting, that's just not true. There is not a program in the valley that would have turned down McBride, Seanez, Casteneda, etc. What exactly to you suggest LA should have done? Tell McBride NOT to enroll?

All you guys have to understand something...you claim LA has been recruiting but have ZERO proof of this. Consider this for a minute. How many of you knew that LA didn't have a QB returning for this upcoming season? Do you think that word made it to the ears of Tillis and Tamayo? They knew there was a spot for them to win here at LA. Why is the only explanation that Gano went and recruited them? Did you also know that LA graduated their RB (Ira Thomas)? I bet McBride knew that. Why wouldn't these kids want to come to a top-notch program that has had success if there is an open spot?

As for your claim that "The last two quarterbacks that came through LA both fathers were very unhappy about the way the team was coached"...COME ON! We won't even mention the situation with the QB before Casteneda...that was a joke. Ask ANYONE who knows that situation personally and you'll know the truth. Unless you're his friend, there is no logical person who would side with the father. As for Casteneda...the kid loves the coaching staff. He's been back to practice working out with the players. He's constantly talking to the coaches about next season and what they have coming up. Who gives a flying F what the father thinks?

Which brings me to my last point...There are too many parents out there that are living vicarioulsy through their kids. This is why you have kids like Tillis who are transferring three times in three years. For God's sake people...there are more important things in life than football...like friends! Education! Loyalty! Pick and school and stick with it. The problem is not recruiting coaches! The problem with the system is parents (fathers) who act like pimps and treat their kids like their hookers, strutting them around the valley saying "who wants some of this...anyone interested"? It's sad and it's destroying the CIF system which has way too many loopholes to keep up.

LA Conq.

The only real player LA got from Amat this year is McBride.........the others are so so players...Tamayo / Tillis......would not have cracked the starting line up for Amat this year........now Seanez and Maciel would be starters at Amat right now..........those two are players worth mentioning here....That was a steal for Gano and LA to get those player for two years........Getting Tillis and Tamayo for their Senior year is not a Impact.......Bryce is going to do well for LA.....

A recruit is a recruit and you do not know what you are getting until they prove to the coach they can play in game conditions. Word of mouth is not doing it anymore..It is prove that you can play in pads. Tamayo / Tillis who the heck knows if they can get the job done.......I mean if they left Amat because of lack of playing time then the question everyone should be asking is are they really that good?...well I guess to go from D1 to D6 could be easier but not really you still have the play the game and thelevel of competition is not that far of a drop off...Amats loss is Los Altos gain could toun into Amats loss could be Los Altos downfall.......see it from both sides...

LAAD,
"The past 3 years over 90 freshmen @ summer camp doesn’t sound like they are fighting for players."

I don't know what summer camp you are talking about, 06' and 05' yes. 07' LA has about 45 kids out their right now. I've seen that with my own eyes. That is what Gano is all upset about; he sees some major issues in the next few years. This year’s freshman team is sending Gano and his staff a real clear message. "Why am I going to play for LA when it comes time to play of the varsity team GANO is going to recruit someone to replace me?" Everyone knows that if they want to play of the varsity team at LA go to another school wait for the call then make the move your spot is locked up, “GANO RECURIT”

"The valley best coaching staff", I think you mean the valleys best recruiting staff. I think all you LA ban wangoners should sit down and watch some film on LA. They always have some of the best athletics in the valley, but no coaching. Great quarterbacks with no chance of succeeding. The last two quarterbacks that came through LA both fathers were very unhappy about the way the team was coached. If I remember one of those fathers made the front page of the tribune talking about Gano’s coaching ability or lack of. Of course he toned down his comments for the Tribune. I was at those LA games listening to his comments Friday night after Friday night. I don’t want to repeat the comments then ARAM will delete my entry. I personally talked to Castaneda dad he wasn't happy at all. Why do you think Castaneda father went to St. Paul to work with the High School kids over their and not stay at LA and work with these great coaches?

If you judge a coach by his win/loss record, yea GANO is a great coach. But if you judged a coach on is ability to teach these kids about football and life, then GANO has failed as a head coach. I have seen Gano kick a kid off his team because he wore the color shorts to practice one day. If that was one of his stars he won’t have even made a comment, but he was second or third on the depth chart, gone.

You tell me any other school in the Valley that doesn’t have a single player in the back field that worked their way through their system. Gano’s complete STARTING backfield is recruits that haven’t played a single game at LA. Yes, the decision has been made, they are starters. The underclassmen at LA see this that is why the skilled underclassmen have been leaving. That is also why LA has 45 kids playing freshman summer ball an all time low.

Good call all you Tamayo fans!
Your pinning LA success on a 5'7 below average throwing, non-experienced QB who started his transfer at BP!
Pin your hopes on this kid and you will be watching everyone else in December!

Three different schools for the Tillis kid. For what? for a chance to live the dream of being a HS quarterback?....thats as far as it goes...I mean you have to be one heck of a talent to move to the next level of playing on Saturdays in D1 college football........coming out of a D6 program like LA is not going to get you there. JC maybe.......If the Tillis kid was that good he would have tore it up at the D1 Amat and had no competition and would be leading the pack right now over there. Use the he did not get a chance card. Go Ahead..fact is he did and was not Phenom his parents think he is.....I am sure the kid can play...But in no way shape or form is he a legit QB...........he is not a stud of the team.......His education tampered because of a dream.......what a shame.

Oh the Home grown talent at SH......Dorian Wells from Monrovia?.......keep talking were coming to get you Huskies.....

LA was Tillis 3rd school? Not the kid's fault here, sounds more like a Parental decision. No educational continuity, no steady friends, constantly having to make adjustments, and probably end up playing at the JC level after HS. Good job parent!

What a joke! South Hills wins with home grown talent. It might be better to say they started at SH not home grown.

ARAM, IS THERE A PASSING TOURNY AT AZUSA THIS WEEKEND? I HEAR THERE IS... CAN YOU CONFIRM>

4th and 5th string at AMAT, starters at LA? Who does the evaluating here. Their great KIDS, but not great QBS. SORRY! What people consider to be AMAT'S loss, I bet was their gain.

LAAD

Can you say bias? Are you that dumb to recognize that its not only the kids that are talking about being recruited, its the parents. Come on and keep it real, kids are being recruited all the time by other schools and sometimes its the parents doing all the talking. Everyone says you talk about height, weight and all that crap. Amat has lost a lot of players, dont get me wrong, but many were do to a lot of different reasons. So, the kid transferred, good for him or should i say them. But stop being bias and let it be. LA has a good program for the division they are in. But in no way would have nearly has many if they played in a tougher division. Some of their teams and that include Shaun Cody, would have done farely well, but they probably wouldn't have won the D1 Championship that year. Stop talking about crap you dont know anything about.

Conqs R US/ Cajones.... nice try!!!! You get an A for effort and putting your HEART into it. Now get real, even you have to admit that your reasoning sucks. Wait, there was no reasoning. My bad!!! Looks like your the ones doing all the lobbying around here. From what we've seen at LA, Tillis is legit and none of your BS will matter or make a difference with the team. Sit back, relax, enjoy the season and wonder why Amat didn't keep any of the guys.

tale of the tape:

can take a hit:Tamayo

Heart: Tamayo

Varsity exp.: Tamayo (got under center last year at Notre Dame)

Amat Exp. Tamayo Freshman QB starter JV starter..Tillis 3rd string in JV

Exposure and campaigning and Lobbying: Tillis

Transfer rate :Tillis Damien / Amat / Los altos

The past 3 years over 90 Freshman @ summer camp?

Lets see QB=Tamayo RB/DB=McBride LB=Maciel WR/DB=Seanez DB=Tillis. Looks like seven positions manned by former Amat players.

They really look like they are not getting it done at the camps. Now if you look at South Hills we get it done with homegrown talent even before Wells showed up.

Good luck Los Amat and make sure your undefeated when we play you.

Tale of The Tape:

When the pads come on U will see who the better QB is !!! One has the heart to stay in pocket take a hit & the guts to take off & make a play ! & the other ? well you'll see !!! No cajones !!!
You decide which is which !

1 an only one comment congrats to all these young men stepping up and fighting for a position @ respective schools Los Altos is not the only school that kis are transferring to. But I have to say that Amat has lost alot of talent to respective schools starting with Castaneda. And as a spectator and also a Father of a teammate LA scored with a hell of a quarterback 2 yrs ago. Not Gano's fault Amat judges its talent by size and profile rather than heart and talent. That in my opinion is the reason why Los Altos has a successful program best talent plays andd not favorites and/or politics. Los Altos will have another great year w alot of returning talent @ also new talent. As far as Gano recruiting thats a joke @/or flat lie Kids all over this valley would givethere right arm to play for Gano and staff. The past 3 years over 90 Freshman @ summer camp Doesn't sound like they are fighting for players . And ones with talent that are profiled @ less successful schools also want a opputunity to shine for the valleys best Coaches Gano and Staff. God bless shine this season LA just Shine. #12 LAs DAD

Tale:

Tamayo should get some credit for having a softer touch on his throws, though. And might have an edge in accuracy, though I hear Tillis has improved a lot in that regard.

Tale of the Tape Tamayo vs Tillis
(based on measurable criteria bloggers have stated make for QB success)

Height Tillis

Speed Tillis

Agility Tillis

Arm Strength Tillis

Accuracy Even

College Exposure/Rating Tillis

Varsity Experience Even (most of Arams top 10 QBs dont have varsity experience)

Los Altos Experience Tillis

Tillis 6
Tamayo 0(2 giving him the ties)

Tillis transfer to West Covina they got a good team but need a QB they to are in the same div as LA and South hIlls make some noise at West Covina

"Junior Tamayo is the man that will run that offense for Gano and Los Altos."

This is possible.

"since he got there everyone could see who is leading the pack now."

This is not true, at least not after 1 week.

Junior Tamayo is the man that will run that offense for Gano and Los Altos.

since he got there everyone could see who is leading the pack now.

It is not Tillis or the others. It is flat out Tamayos job to lose.

Poor Blake he just cannot shake off Tamayo from spoiling his dads wishes.

"Jhykron, up to the quarterback coach Aguilar, who are you kidding. I give you 10 to 1 odds on that one. Guess who wins???????"

Me 10 times out of 10. Go to LA yourself and ask the coaches who makes that decision.

BTW, You seem to have some trouble with the definition of the word opinion.

An opinion would be something like "I think Gano is a poor/good coach". A well supported opinion would then list examples of why this is so.

On the other hand, something like "Gano promised Tamayo the starting job" is not an opinion, it's a rumor. It can be one of two things: if it were true it would be a fact, or if it were false it would be a lie.

Aram's blog is not supposed to be a vehicle to spread misinformation, at least as far as I understand.

BTW, given that no one has remotely shown any evidence that Gano said anything of the sort AND the QB candidates are still getting equal reps, I have to wonder what's the agenda of the people who come up with this stuff?

Aram, I heard that their were a few negative comments "ha ha" this weekend about Gano and his recuriting tactics, why were they all deleted. Gano has had a free ride for years playing games within the system. The blog is for people to express their opinion. I know the local coaches read the blog, so now when Gano don't like what he reads, he makes the call and you remove it. If thats the case don't start any new sections about Gano. As you can see he isn't really like very much in the community and its only getting worse. Gano, if you want to improve that image, more coaching less recurting. Of course then you would actually have to work.

Jhykron, up to the quarterback coach Aguilar, who are you kidding. I give you 10 to 1 odds on that one. Guess who wins???????

So much misinformation.

"From what I understand the no.1 qb is Tamayo."

Then you have no credibility, since no #1 QB has been named.

"One he was promised the starting role before..."

Do you have any evidence of this, or are you blowing hot air out the wrong oriface?

"Poor Tillis and the other 5 or 6 QB's vying for the spot. All that hard work they have put in and poof one second later a 4th string QB transfer takes your spot away."

Maybe. At least one LA coach I know thinks Tillis is the better QB of the two Amat guys (of course, he's a transfer too... would he have been Amat's 5th string QB by this arcane reconning?). And a lot like the look of the lefty in the long run.

Speculation is academic, though, since the decision is in the hands of QB coach Aguilar, and he hasn't publicly named or implied anyone as winning the job.

ConqNation,

I would certainly believe their insurance carriers will foot most of the bill. I would imagine there are insurance coverage for abusing your parishioners.

Latest news.....tuition and parent service hours at Amat will most likely increase after LA Archdiocese settles $600 million in priest abuse suit......will that translate to more defections to Los Altos/South Hills? Come on Amat faithful stay strong and focused.

Poor Tillis and the other 5 or 6 QB's vying for the spot. All that hard work they have put in and poof one second later a 4th string QB transfer takes your spot away. Wow is this what High School football has become......???? Now what will Tillis do.... transfer out? Reality bites huh?

Stay tuned for next weeks Amat to Los Altos transfer episode! Who will be next??????

Tamayo,

Like Castaneda , small good player, roll out QB will run if no one is open. Lots of batted down passes because of lakcof height.......bottom line: good player good season but no Championship in their cards. If Amat demoted him after him serving them for 3 years I think Los Altos is kidding themselves if they think Tamayo can take them to the Ship. Not going to happen.

I understand Amat placed third in this tournament and looked pretty good in doing so. This Weds. at Amat ,Culver City and Upland will be there for passing league. starts at 3pm

W/O HIM (Tamayo) Amat with quarterbacks named Lenhart, McClanahan and Iglesias went on and defeated "the mighty Notre Dame" at the Claremont passing league tournament this weekend. Doesn't sound to shabby since they lost quite a few players.

From what I understand the no.1 qb is Tamayo. Without a doubt it is his now and he will start the season. This is pathetic. Most of the 1-5 QB trying out for the job and this Tamayo kid comes in and POOF! it is his...Two things here. One he was promised the starting role before he came over and Two what does that say about the kids that were there before him. I guess they 1-5 were not very good or not the person Gano was looking for. Tamayo is Man.....Sorry Tillis, Longoria, and the other 3........Tamayo came in and is the starter.........Thanks, nice job Gano.!

FOOTBALL JUNKIE

i kid u not. man its all true

You can transfer to Sonora High School !

All u have to do is enroll in there agricultural program & ur in. Lots of kids from whittier pony who are suppose to be going to Whittier, Cal & La Serna go to Sonora to play Baseball by raising a pig & selling it at the OC county fair !!!!

You can transfer into any open-enrollment school that has room. Doesn't mean CIF will let you play football there.

"Football Junkie"

Not sure the extent, or how it all works, but my daughter had a friend that transfered from one school to another over a guitar class....

No foolin'

sgvpride,

You mean like underwater basket weaving 101

come on get real!

all a player for a transfer is....

if amat doesnt offer a certain class. but LA does

then that is all a player needs in order to transfer.

certain classes thats it. i know because iv seen it.

did anybody check out the covina classic? covina made it to the championship but lost to culver city

Joe Amat,

Exactly, but I think the word was "checked."

Thanks.

Yeah, but you were "sentenced" to do that Dodger assignment because the paper was "afraid" of what might happen at Bassett...right?

Congrats! Good job!

Wow,

You'll find that I'm a very pro-fantasy writer. When covering the Angels or Dodgers, I have to write a notebook and a game story. I consider the notebook a great place to help fantasy leaguers by updating news about injuries and rehabs and stuff like that. It also takes care of fans, too. Some of my stuff about Penny and Tony Abreu and Randy Wolf got picked up by Rotoworld.com ... I was pretty jacked up about it.

I was reading some fantasy news about Brad Penny and i saw this, Jul 8 Updating a previous item, Aram Tolegian, of the Long Beach Press-Telegram, reports the injury to Los Angeles Dodgers SP Brad Penny (blister) isn't considered serious enough to prevent him from appearing in this week's All-Star Game. However, he may be used for just one inning instead of two, according to Dodgers manager Grady Little. That a boy Aram

Shadow I think Anonymous was saying to you too look into precious metals because the price of some-TIN is not worth the investment.

Anonymous Shadow at July 13, 2007 09:28 PM,

bro go get a life or sometin instead being a little rat or sometin on the blog were everybody talks out of their as* instead of bein here baggin on other kids knowin how sorry your kid is

So when you post something like this you honestly want us to take you seriously "think you need to think again about him being recruited by D1 schools because i was at a practice and mcbride burned the corner and he had him wide open and he sailed the ball right over the middle of the field and it was picked off by the saftey so think before what you say" No wonder anonymous your kid sat home on All-star weekend you and your own anonymous clones are ignorant

Did Kevin Bonilla transfer after baseball season? Does anyone know?

anyone going to tonights all star game at arcadia h.s. should be a great game. with a top notch pitching match up. some talented players gonna be on the field tonight. de la fuente, pill, arnold, reyes, mistone, and a lot more. i hope they get a good turn out and have a great game.

i think you need to think again about him being recruited by D1 schools because i was at a practice and mcbride burned the corner and he had him wide open and he sailed the ball right over the middle of the field and it was picked off by the saftey so think before what you say

Yeah Heard he really impressed scouts at some combines and camps

LA Fans:

Whoa, even I find that a bit farfetched. Kid hasn't yet played a down of varsity ball at QB.

Anonymous ........ I hear Tillis is being recruited at QB by a couple of D1 schools. He must be better than you think or you give him credit for.

AS far as I've seen in practices and passing leagues so far the QB Race at LA goes something like...

1. Junior Tomayo
2. Dimitri Longoria
3. Blake Tillis
4./5. others

I have to believe Tomayo wins the spot with Longoria just behind him. They could even switch off on occasion. Tillis looks like a better DB than QB too.

Reaally:

True. Tillis has been playing DB since passing league started. It's not out of the question that he wins all or part of the QB job and still plays DB.

Certain Others:

Grow up. Seriously. If you have any evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Gano or anyone else, then report it to CIF. Libeling kids and coaches on a blog when you have no facts is just weak.

Just wondering how good this Amat team would have been if they kept all of their transfers.
I'm a WC Bulldog fan & not an Amat fan but it is unfortunate in my eyes to see our local D1 representitive loose so much talent.
I know Dorian Wells father from previouslly working with him in my trade, although I did not know Wells was his son until a few weeks ago when I spoke to the father at the Northview, Schur, & South Hills passing game. When I worked with the father about 4 or 5 years ago he told me that his son was a talented football player and
that I'll hear about him when he reaches the highschool level, then I find out at this passing league game a few weeks ago that Dorian Wells was his son that he told me to look out for when he reaches the highschool level.
I saw Wells father about a year & a half ago, & we started talking highschool football, at this time Dorian was a sophmore & I still had no idea who he was, all I knew at that time was that his son played for Amat and was a pretty good player,
but I remember the father saying how talented this Amat sophmore team was, & you can imagine with players like Wells, Mcbride,Bonilla,Seinez,Wagner, Austin. etc. etc.
this had to be a pretty loaded team.
I also heard from an ex Mater Dei dad that this years Amat seniors [class of 08] & Mater Dei's seniors when both teams were freshman were both very good & expected to be the teams to beat in D1 when they reached their seinor years [this coming season] so you just wonder how good this team would have been if they had stood together.

I see why you guys have problems at Amat. All of this lying about kids, parents and whatnot. Now you're trying create tension at Los Altos where it doesn't exist. Tamayo and Tillis are friends from what I hear.In regards to Tillis being asked to play a different position by coaches, thats more propaganda and nonsense. I believe from what I've seen at practices that Tillis is currently playing 3 positions. I dont personally know any of these kids or families, but that doesn't matter. It is just unspeakable how low you people will stoop to discredit kids.WOW!!

Joe Amat is correct, you start throwing the names of JV superstars into the blog blender and when expectations arent met the kids name gets tarnished...

Let them get the pads on and play a couple of Varsity games before we rate them...

AnyMouse...

I can't believe it, it been 30 seconds and no response.

Joe Amat are you lost for words.

Like you Joe Amat always,

Popping off,
Making Noise,
and a unknown lack of talent

Joe Amat,

You guys should hire Gano, he is a perfect match. That's one way to stop the bleeding.
