This and that ...

Injury updates: Glendora coach Mark Pasquarella said running back Brent Marteney was being examined on Monday to determine the severity of a knee injury he suffered in the first half of Friday's loss. He should have the results by Tuesday. Also, Covina's Nate Nakelski, who was taken away by ambulance following a blow to the head against Walnut on Sept. 13, suffered a concussion. He missed Friday's game against Rosemead, and is expected to miss up to two more weeks.

He said it: Charter Oak coach Lou Farrar following 13-9 win over Glendora. "They are huge. They are everything they were billed to be and more. They told our kids they were too small to play. What the hell, are we a Pop Warner football team? I didn't know you had to weigh in to go play varsity football, but, anyway.... My kids just have big hearts. They are not very big right now, we ran through those big guys, but big heart, a lot of good pride and a lot of good character and it shows up in the fourth quarter."

Said Arroyo coach Jim Singiser after 42-14 loss to Alhambra: : Coaches got to do a better job, players go to do a better job. Just all around we got our butts kicked ... no excuses."

I'm sorry but Eric Bienemy was a very special player. He was running circles around Servite, Mater Dei, St. Paul, etc, in the old Angelus League as a junior.

There is no player in the SGV that even comes close.

Amat student body,
You post looks like a conqed in disguise. Any true LANCER knows we would never jump ship no matter how bad it is perceived by outsiders. If you are AMAT why does it state your division instead of our division in your first sentence.

Well McBride is a great player!! But how come he couldn't do this against the N. Dames, Crespi's, and Loyola....not even mentioning all the other games he played.....Wells on the other hand hasn't done much yet but wait till the season gets really going not saying McBride wont do anything but just watch the game between those two there will be highlights

GANO MEANS WON at September 26, 2007 09:29 AM

Just quit makes excuses and tell GANO to set the beer aside and step up!

The guy has EVERY excuse in the book..

TO AMAT WILL CRUSH YOU

YOU ARE RIGHT GANO IS A "WHIP" BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE DOING THE WHIPPING LOOK AT THE POINTS HIS TEAM IS PUTTING UP. AMAT ON THE OTHER HAND WOW ONE WIN AND AGAINST RANCHO GIVE ME A BREAK WHAT GOOD IS IT TO BE IN THAT DIVISION IF YOU CANT COMPETE I GUESS YOU LIKE TO SEE YOUR TEAM GET THERE A$$ WHIPPED EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT, LIKE YOUR COACHE SAID JUMP OFF THAT SHIP.

Dialogue ...
I am ALWAYS on here looking for SGV football talk . The Tartans WILL BE BACK IN A BIG WAY THIS WEEK . Los Altos has EARNED their spot as the #1 team & deserve the grey space . Bryce is tearing up the opposition , week in & week out . PERIOD . Amat will be back , they are banged up a little , a little rest will do them good , I see them running off a few wins in a row .Verti has taken ALOT of heat , I think he should expect that , HE NEEDS TO GET HIS MEN MOTIVATED !!! WIN a ew and things will cool down . BEST OF LUCK TO ALL TEAMS IN THE SGV !

"BE THE BEST "
FIGHT ON
TM

Jury Duty - great points!

we'll also find out more about RC w/ their performance vs WC tonight

We will see how good a coaching staff Verti and his crew are when they get 2 weeks to prepare for a Carson team on the Road. Will it be that the RC game was just against a poor weak team or the Lancers starting to step into their game and the coaching is starting to come around. We will see...Given two weeks of preparation and with Carson playing this week and only having a week to prepare I think that gives the coaching staff an edge, will they take advantage of it and bring a strong, well prepared Amat team to play Oct. 5th at Carson?...Jury is still out..this is the pivitol point in Verti and Staff to bring their A game.

Even in down times most have learned never to compare numbers
Besides Cornell, Bennett, Fletcher, and Federico there is also
Cesar Rodriguez, 2003 Kansas
Will Robinson, 2003 San Diego State
Ryan Smith, 2003, Utah/Florida/Tennesee Titans
Jonathan Soto, 2004 San Diego State
Jose Rodriguez, 2005 Kansas
more?

Bottom line...Amat is no longer the measuring stick for the SGV. Amat is the laughing stock of the Pac 5.

okay okay... i just wanted to know.... but walter thurmond, tobi umodu, brian mason, justin hart are all d6 high schoolers on d1 college teams. my point is amat no longer garners all the area talent. the area public schools have just as much if not more talent. concord de la salle went on a ten year winning streak and never had a starting lineman over
262 lbs.... its all about the preparation. nothing against amat, but if the coaching ain't right.... you get the point.

haha i love all these excuses glendora fans come up with after they lose..glendora you lost simple as that we got the mayor cup back where it belongs and where it's going ot stay charter oak is too much of a family and knit tied community to have a bad football program. we are big at heart like big lou said and are ready for any team, any week...with all that talk saying charter oak is too small and glendora is going to dismantle charter oak made me laugh. after being a tough loss to glendora last year when they ran it down are throats in the last remaining minute of the game to win it.. hey deja vu? charter oak making a run for the championship AGAIN!!

anonymous, how about carlton fletcher (army), jonathan cornell (ole miss), brandon bennett (UCLA) and vincent federico (new mexico).

why is it when i ask who was the last amat kid to play d1 ball (football) everybody goes away? i just wanna know

i asked the question a couple days ago.... who is the last kid from amat to go play d1 college ball...
who?

Competing doesn't equal VICTORY!

When was the last time LA,CO,Glendora, or SH beat or even played AMAT close.

TALK IS CHEAP... STOP HATING AMAT AND GET ON OUR SCHEDULE IF YOUR COACH HAS SOME BALLS.

Especailly that beer belly GANO!

Amat is a small fish in a big pond. You cant even compete with the D1 caliber teams you play and still have the nerve to talk down to public schools like your something BIG. I believe that LA,CO,SH, and Glendora can compete with you and just might pull it off. STOP HATING

and who are you? you ever strapped 'em on, laced 'em up. this is SGV, and we are US AMERICANS! DAMMIT we can all have our opinions... oh, and i am a 43 y/o who still is competitive... so now what?

This is and Amat and LA thread, everyone of you peons, please go away!!!

CONQ FAN at September 25, 2007 01:16 PM


you AMAT faithful are hilarious (THERE ARE QUITE FEW OF US, BUT HILARIOUS, COME ON?), its one one thing to be FAITHFUL but its another to be downright NAIVE. The bottom line is that Bryce McBride is just flat out GOOD (I AGREE, HE IS GOOD, MAN), like the guy said earlier, FACTS DONT LIE, its not like he's putting small guys on there back, hes trucking over BIG players, the video is there for you to see. As for everything else it just seems as though you think there isnt a single player at LA that wouldnt get start at amat (IF YOU SAY SO DUDE). Well if you saw the game on FRI. it seems as though LA has the best Tight End and Defensive End in Ray Rodrigues he physically MANHANDLED every lineman DAMIEN threw at him (QUITE FRANKLY, I HAVEN'T SEEN THE GAME, BTW I HAVE AN UNCLE NAMED RAY RODRIGUEZ?). and if you think he wouldnt start at AMAT youre flat out crazy. The Other DE and OL Longoria (i believe) is no slouch either making plays as well (OKIE DOKIE!). it just seems as though AMAT faithful dont see anything beyond the blue and gold (AREN'T THEY NICE COLORS?), give the other teams credit and stop trying to make yourselves feel better by bashing on 16, 17 ,18 year old kids (PICKED A BONE WITH DESPAINE/GANO, LEFT THE KIDS OUT) , if u have a bone to pik with anyone from LA let me know and ill be more than happy to meet up with you and we can discuss it like grown men (SOMETHING TELLS ME, YOU AND ROOSEVELT74 MUST HAVE BEEN CLASSMATES?).

Amat Old Timer

Should LA ever suit up against Amat, I would attend, root for LA and salute the winner (AND I WOULD DO THE SAME EXCEPT I'D ROOT FOR AMAT). The phantom argument calling for these two teams to play is moot, since these two specific teams will never meet, (NO DUH!). That does not prevent me from giving Gano kudos for creating a program that consistenly wins at the level they compete at and attracts kids and families to it (HEY KUDOS TO GANOS, BUT NO BALLS TO SCHEDULE AMAT).

BTW, why is that when a student/family makes a specific, considered decision to forsake the public school system they are applauded for seeking to better their childs lot (I APPLAUD THEM TOO, GOOD FOR THEM), but when a specific, considered decsion to leave a private school and attend a public school, that that is somehow an act of desertion (NOW DID I SAY THAT?)

Amat,
YOUR DONE, IT's OVER. ALL THE GOOD PRIVATE SCHOOLS ARE OUT IN THE OC

GANO... Your a whip and afaird top compete in our division. Bring it on old man!

I guess LA is the best you can get since La Verne said NO THANKS.........

Let's give credit when it's due.. No excuses...
I was at the Gledora/CO game and the score was closer than it should have been. CO clearly outplayed the Tartan, but dumb mistakes kept the score down. You have to give it to the old coach (Big Lou), he had them ready and they played hard.
I am not a CO fan, but I call it like I see it.
Hopefully my Knights will bounce back this week against El Rancho, hate to do it to Coach Willy Reyna but he's on the wrong side this time. GO ARROYO

Amat Old Timer...

I would go see LA vs. Amat, I would root for LA, but I would enjoy the competition, and salute the winner. This phantom challenge is kinda' moot, since these two specific teams will not meet, but whatever the reason the two temas have not played in awhile, I still offer kudos' to Gano and the job he has done.

Why is it when students/families decide to forsake the public school system for a private school, that specific, considered decision is heralded but when a specific, considered decision to go back to a public school is made, it is considered deserting?

You may not have asserted this, but someone somewhere on these threads seems to feel this way.

Gotta love bryce and wags i think they are very respectful players :)

Leave the kids alone.

Now the dad or Tillis's dad is another story. If they want to post, then it is their funeral, not Bryce's or Blake's. They seem like they don't want to let it go.

Truth Hurts,
Don't compare Bienemy's size to Bryce. Just don't go there. For the kid's sake.

Anonymous Lancer,

Amat has done it on many occassions in the past. Ralph Brown has suited up and not played. Dennis Wyrick also went through the same thing. You suit up Wagner for an emergency situation. Since Seals and Prieto were fine, why risk playing Wagner. Oh by the way, You must be a parent posing as a player.

Who would of thought Bryce would be tearing it up more than Dorian Wells. It is Los Altos undefeated and Bryce is the man right now of the SGV. Wells has not done anything exciting to boost his game image. Wait til they play each other Bryce is going to go off.

Who would of thought Bryce would be tearing it up more than Wells......Aram had So Hills killing everyone and look who is killing everyone LA and Bryce..........Wells has not done Cra- at SH........

Bryce is a great football player, I hope we see him playing o Saturdays next year!

Hows is going? I knew Johnny would come back soon!

Did you see Leno last night! A total crack up!

Here comes TM(Johnny)

Its funny reading this stuff! I guess LA and Amat took over the Tartan talk this morning!

There's always tomorrow!

Jay is great last night!

If "truth hurts" is #5's Dad .WOW YOUR BOY SURE CAN PLAY !!! Congrats to him & his team thus far . A LONG WAYS TO GO , but WHAT A START !!! Good luck the rest of the way , may he be healthy & sucessful in getting a scholarship . I doubt he get's a D1 ride , but I HOPE HE PROVES US ALL WRONG ! RUN BRYCE RUN, LOVE IT !

Truth Hurts at September 25, 2007 10:25 AM

Daddy back on the blog!

This guy is like a little league dad, trying to live thru his kid!

Eric Bienemy was a great AMAT player! If I remember correctly, he was about 5'6, 200lbs. Hhhmmmm.......

Truth Hurts at September 25, 2007 10:25 AM

Daddy back on the blog!

This guy is like a little league dad, trying to live thru his kid!

JEALOUSY AND ENVY ARE AS VICIOUS AS RACISM!!!

Wow :) Why do AMAT fans even care what Bryce is doing?

If you don't like Bryce or Los Altos...Then don't look at Bryce/LA Highlights or read Bryce/LA articles in the paper.

If you think Wags is the better RB... Great. You should be glad Bryce is gone.

If you think Amat is the better school... Great. Keep supporting Amat. Every fan is entitled to their OPINION and their feelings.

However......FACTS outweigh OPINIONS and FEELINGS every day of the week.

These are the FACTS;

-671 rushing yds on 64 carries
-1 kick return for 97 yards
-9 Touchdowns
-Averaging 225 yards per game
-Los Altos Conquerors (3 wins - 0 losses)

Bryce is in a better place. The NUMBERS don't lie!

Big fish, little pond.....Wow, you guys really don't get it.


Attention to all Daddy's

If you believe in LA, let's all send film to the tribune of our son's. Lets show the love, and brag about our sons?

Lets not teach the meaning of being humble!

What a bunch of s---.

Sounds like sour grapes to me...would he have the supporting cast to put those numbers,i.e could the staff provide the schemes et al?

Amat Rules

You are correct in your assessment of the situation! The Dad just is full of crap!

Conq'76 at September 25, 2007 10:03 AM

As you've stated before let's not live in the past. Yesteryear, today's and tomorrows LA team will never schedule Amat. Even in their downward state. DeSpain will not risk getting humiliated again after the 86 team were handed their jockstraps single handedly by no other than Mr. Bienemy.

Thats right Amaynever!!!! All the transfers are having successful seasons, so what does that say about Amat? It says the current coaching staff cant recognize or access the true potential of their players. Oh yeah, anonymous, look like Amat as a whole is the one that cant swim with the big fish. Just look at the scores vs D1 opponents lately.

No sour grapes. McBride knew he couldn't rack these stats against the Harts, the Oluths, the ND's, the Crespis and the Loyolas of the mighty PAC5. He does look like superman in D6 though!

Good luck to McBride and his D6 career. With these stats, good for you, I hope you get that D1 schollie.

I don't know after attending a few games the last couple of years, you can hear this garbage in the stands all the time. It doesn't matter what school you are at.

Anonymous....

I've seen games in big ponds, small ponds, green ponds and red ponds. I've seen LA teams line up with the likes of St.Paul, Loyola, Espranza and even Amat. This may have been in a by-gone era, but the backs on those teams held their own. This back would have fit right in on those 4A Championship teams, the Big5 Championship team and even the 2003 Div. 6 Championship team.

You want to deny this, thats fine by me, but I know better.

this dude who calls himself A. Nonee Mus CO 4 Evah is nothing but a Glendora fan posing as a CO supporter but obviously trying too hard to make CO look all ghetto and stupid.

red,
You need a correction on your lead story. Nate Nakelski is from Covina not Northview. He was at school Friday attending class. Not sure of his status for nexts weeks game against Sonora, but he is doing fine for now.

Posted by: BIG DADDY at September 24, 2007 02:49 PM

One of the Covina kids I spoke to @ district field on Fri. night told me Nakelski had a "mild concussion" the previous week. Why would a coach allow a player back on the field after having that kind of injury just one week later? I know pros,college do it,but this is a high school athlete.

Yo ~ Yeah! Datz Big Lu 4 U

Coach sait it ALL! We's NO POP WARNER! WE'S FOR

GO CHARG-AHS! You Charg us - We Make U PAY-PAL!

We dont wear no KILTS, but we's Karry the SLAYER SORD!


You're one hell of a talented typist and wannabe ghetto bullsh#$ter!

AMAT RULES,
Let it go now. Bryce is having so far a heck of a season over at la. Our loss is Gano's gain. Let's just focus on our team and don't worry about the past and things out of your control. If Wagner heals up hopefully he can start to rack up the numbers also because you know we need them.As I said before you can't knock anyone from doing what they think is best for themselves and so far it is working for McBride.

The bottom line is McBride is the big fish in a small pond. Couldn't swim in the big pond with other big fish.

Posted by: Anonymous at September 25, 2007 09:37 AM


Does this go for the other players that left.....and are having good seasons?

O'Doyle Rules,

HELLO, EARTH TO AMAT RULES Mcbride and Wells no longer play for AMAT! Stop living in the past.

Move on!

They dumped you for another school!

CRY BABIES PICKIN ON KIDS AND PARENTS!

LOSERS LOSERS LOSERS

I'm rooting for the Los Altos Lancers...err..I mean Los Altos Conquerors....got to support my SGV teams and former Lancers this week!

Beat St. Francis!

RUN BRYCE .....RUN !

Amat rules, STFU......Bryce is having a good year and I hope he continues. This has nothing to do with Wags..by the way what has Wags done for us lately..he played great against Los Osos but was nowhere in the O-luth game and he got hurt in the Hart Game and did not practice during the week of the RC game (crutches). Then they let him suit up and he is all of sudden healed running on the sidelines..anybody else misses a whole week of practice and they dont even suit up....why is it that Wags was allowed this special treatment......sounds to me like there is favoritism going on and thats why Bryce most likely left.....player for player they are even and I just may give Bryce the edge. Dont knock this ex-amat player because he is doing well elsewhere. I dont care if he went to the hated St. Paul Slime I would still recognize what he is doing. As far as his dads Tribune posting why not he is proud of his son and his son is tearing it up nothing wrong with that...

This Glendora hype will soon lose it's fizzle after another 2 or 3 losses.

The bottom line is McBride is the big fish in a small pond. Couldn't swim in the big pond with other big fish.

Conq'76 at September 25, 2007 09:19 AM

Oh please, give us a break! How warm and fussy daddy! The truth still be known!

Bring on LA over here.. Come on Gano, Coach said you don't want any part of us!


Amat Rules!!!

A fathers love for his son, a mans love for his school, both heart-warming sentiments. A mans jealousy of another mans son and of the love another may have for their school, shallow and pathetic.

I am enjoying LA's season thus far, I truly wish I could say the same for the Amat faithful.

Wow, looks like old man McBride and Fred are really teaming up! LOL

Should we call it the Fred/McBride blog?

Pretty pathetic ad taken out by McBride’s in the tribune this past weekend!

Hey Daddy, we know why you left us, it’s called Big Wag just beat your son out of the job! You sure have some fooled, but not the guys that know the truth!

GLENDORAAAAAAA! Let IT Go!! You lost. Stop making excuses. You opened the season with two weak teams and now reality check. Pick up a Frappaccino and settle in for an average season. League champs? Not! Mommy & Daddy can't buy the victories, you'll have to earn them. Tell the parents to blow you up in week 9, cause you haven't done anything yet!

GLENDORAAAAAAA! Let it go. You lost. You will do better than 500, but you're not that good. You played two weak teams to open the season and now reality check. Go back to snob hills and regroup, but stop making excuses. Worry about this weeks game, cause if you lose this one nobody wants to hear about it! Settle in for an average season. Sorry Mommy & Daddy can't buy the victories for you, you'll actually have to earn them. If this is wrong come week 9, I'll be the first to throw you some props. Until then, have a Frappaccino and tell you parents to relax until you actually do something worth blowing you up! go Vikes

WOW What a HIGHLIGHT REEL !!!

Glendora LOST . Time to FOCUS on THIS WEEK .The next opponent will be ready , I HOPE WE ARE .We just got SURPRISED IN THE LAST MINUTE . Bottom line ... Charter Oak had the ball last & DID SOMETHING WITH IT , they surprised Glendora with that play .It was not an ass whooping , just a last minute surprise play win . BUT a W is a W .

N E X T

NO!

DOES GLENDORA HAVE ANY KEY STRENGTHS TO THE O-LINE? ALL WE HEAR ABOUT IS HOW GREAT THE RUNNING BACK AND D-FENSE IS..

ghs i liked what you had to say there

tartan fans your gonna be better off if you just own the loss and move on and understand your gonna be better because of it...the excuses make you look worse

GHS,

Good job, I hope the Tartans come back strong and kick the crap out of West Ranch.....I apologize if I'm wrong with the name.

thanks for fixing the injury update to nate being from covina not nv

JFR,

Yea, Dukes a little over the top, but I would like GHS' chances in a rematch. Not to take anything away from CO, because these 2 teams are closer than some Tartan faithful think. But some of the "we blew you out..." talk from the other side is equally laughable. I watched the game on tape and took some notes. CO had 11 penalties for about 90 yards and GHS had 6 for about 35 yards (but one brought back a big punt return & each team had a punt "redo" becuase of a penalty). So they weren't as onesided as some have said and discipline is part of what makes a team better (although GHS needs to improve there as well). BTW, have you EVER seen a 3rd and goal from the OPPOSITE side of the 50 before!? That was crazy!! As for the yardage, I read where they ran up 200+ yards on the ground on our "great D" I counted 30 carries for about 180 (I actually got 169, but I may have been off here and there). The CO quarterback was like 7-14 for 63 yards. The stats on Glendora show 155 on the ground and 95 in the air, so GHS actually outgained CO until that last trick play (which I didn't have included in the above numbers). Bottom line, this game was played dead even in almost every way (including each team missing a FG) until that brilliant call by the Farrar's to win the game. THAT was the difference. Great game (although not the greatest execution) played by great kids, great crowd in a great community that we ALL get to enjoy. Props to CO, you knocked us off our pedestal this year, but I think our kids will earn their way back. Go win league, both teams, and represent our area in CIF well. You are "a charge" to watch.

P.S. - We should have known a big play was coming for the Chargers when the lightning bolts could be seen in the distance above the CO field during their last drive.

I am not smart enough to read it! LOL

Nonee mus, Duke,
NM, youmake people ill just trying to get through your first sentence, this from a person who likes CO. STOP! Duke, Glendora won the turnover game and had about 1/4 the penalties. If it was reversed I would buy into your argument, enough already.

I am neither a Glendora fan or a CO fan but from what I can see if they played 5 times Glendora wins 4 out of the 5. CO came to play and it was a david slayed goliath game. Props to CO they played above their heads against a much bigger team. Glendora is a force to be reckoned with this year no doubt about it and I am sure they learned that you have to step it up every week. I feel sorry for their next opponent because Glendora will be coming out with something to prove next game. CO what a confidence builder for your team. I would love to see a rematch. Good hard fought game for both teams...

You can be small, but if you have speed, guess what... You win!

I think Lou learn this last year in the Upland game... CO was huge last year but Upland speed was crazy!

Fred:

I think Big Lou learned last year against Upland that speed does win football games. Co was huge up front last year, but Upland speed was crazy!

This year CO is smaller, and Glendora is huge! Wow, wonder what happened?

Fred,
You need a correction on your lead story. Nate Nakelski is from Covina not Northview. He was at school Friday attending class. Not sure of his status for nexts weeks game against Sonora, but he is doing fine for now.

See Tartans , this is what a loss feels like , not to much fun ...HUH . Guess what , come Friday you can take ALL OF THIS FRUSTRATION OUT ON YOUR OPPONENT


JUST WIN TARTANS !

Props to the Charter Oak High School Marching Regiment!
