MIRAMONTE LEAGUE OUTSHINES SIERRA: Los Altos, Charter Oak both win

Friday's results
Los Altos 31, Damien 20 .... You have to see Mahmud-McBride (219 yards, 3 TDS) to appreciate him.
Charter Oak 13, Glendora 7 .... If you say you saw this coming, you must be from Charter Oak.
Schurr 43, Wilson 33 .....Everyone knows the Wildcats can score, but ohhh that defense.
South Hills 32, Claremont 7 .....Huskies fans are sleeping well, and can finally enjoy Saturday morning paper.
Rosemead 35, Northview 21 .....Uh oh, what happened to the Vikes. Yikes!
Baldwin Park 40, Sierra Vista 12 ....And the city bragging rights goes to the Braves.
Bishop Amat 20, Rancho Cucamonga 7 .... Told you they would start winning.
Alhambra 42, Arroyo 12 .....We heard the Moors were good, but geez louise.
West Covina 41, Locke 21 .....They're really 2-0 if you throw out Mater Dei
Duarte 85, Ganesha 0 .....Did I just print that. Yes, it's right.
San Dimas 41, Ontario 21 ....And the Saints keep marching on
Pioneer 34, Gladstone 0 .....And that Gladiators have to face Duarte next.
Chaffey 29, Nogales 13 .....Chaffey's been tough on SGV teams.
Whittier 41, South El Monte 28 ....Not the year Eagles expected.
Mountain View 12, Keppel 6 ....It's only Keppel, but still a big win for MView.
San Marino 55, Workman 14 ....Lobos get smashed by 3-0 Titans.
El Monte 39, Pomona 19 ....Lions continue to get better
California 53, Bassett 0 .....Some things are better left un-said

Thursday's results
Covina 36, Walnut 29 .... Hmmm, Northview hammers Mustangs, Colts squeak by.
Sonora 17, Rowland 14 ....Raiders coach Craig Snyder thought it would be close.
Diamond Bar 32, Brea Olinda 13 ..... Working way back to the good ole' days.
Chino Hills 36, Tesoro 27 ....Bet Diamond Ranch enjoys every CHills victory.

Game of the week, Los Altos vs. Damien

FINAL OBSERVATIONS: One of the great benefits of being on the sidelines is watching someone like Mahmud-McBride punish defenders the way he did. It was almost like he welcomed having someone step in front of him. He hit guys with so much force you thought it was a car accident. This kid is the real deal. He has great cutback moves, great acceleration through the holes and finishes off plays as well as anyone I've seen in a long time. I know Gano keeps talking about having to have a passing game, but until someone figures out how to stop McBride, Tamayo can keep having 100-yard plus games and they'll be fine. And I love Raymond Rodriguez -- dominating on both sides and what a weapon at tight end on short yardage plays.

All about the Miramonte
Guess we can end the debate between the Miramonte and Sierra. I think it's clear with Diamond Ranch, Los Altos, Charter Oak, and mid-range toughies like Wilson and Bonita that the Miramonte is clearly the area's top league.
Spartans not sharp at all
Damien's tough to explain. Without Marcus Williams, they don't have much of a running attack. They need Pertusati to come up big, but it's just not happening. I know coach Morrison said his receivers need to catch balls, but there were also a lot of overthrown passes. But I wouldn't give up on the senior QB, he's too good of an athlete and competitor.
Could they have scored a 100? Glad they didn't.
Duarte rolls up 71 first-half points en route to an 85-0 victory. I don't care who they play that's a lot of points. And don't get on Crutch for running up the score, it was 41-0 in the first quarter. They tuned in down, scoring only 14 in the second half.
You see a trend here?
Northview, what happened to Northview? I thought watching them last week against Walnut that their defense was shaky. This 35-21 loss to Rosemead only confirms it. The Vikes are going to score every week, but until they shore up that defense, expect more shootouts like this...And give Rosemead credit, they're only loss was to Los Altos (35-0), which also goes to show how great the Conquerors are too.
Rudy, Rudy, Rudy ... Hope Ruedaflores goes all the way.
Alhambra 41, Arroyo 12...never saw this coming. knew Alhambra was talented because of Smith and Brown, but thought the Knights could score points on them too. Happy for Alhambra coach Gil Ruedaflores, he's in his 20th and final year, and this might be his best team ever.
The Charter Oak we didn't know about, vs. the not-so Goliath Glendora Tartans
Finally, Charter Oak. This is the magic of the Farrar's I guess. I kept telling Ramirez in the office that I wasn't that impressed with the Chargers last week against La Mirada, even though it was 27-0. I wasn't convinced. They weren't moving it well enough on the ground, and QB Chris Allen looked out of sorts at times. But Ramirez said Farrar would have them ready, and said that he wouldn't be surprised if the Chargers won a game like this when everyone was picking Glendora. And Tartans fans, I wouldn't fret too much over it. You lost to a very good team. Just regroup, and get ready for the next one, because the Sierra League is up for grabs.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.Keep working ,great job!

I just sent this post to a bunch of my friends as I agree with most of what you’re saying here and the way you’ve presented it is awesome.

Your complete ldl cholesterol amount could be too lower and at these amounts, just as unhealthy as higher ldl cholesterol. While your total ldl cholesterol number ought to be under 200 mg/dL; amounts below 160 mg/dL are connected with health risks like cancer. Experts still can't say if the wellness problems cause the lower cholesterol or vice versa. Some perform has also found that pregnant women with lower total cholesterol are more apt to provide birth prematurely. Lower total ldl cholesterol, as well as LDL levels have each been associated to anxiety and depression.

Are you kidding me? Mr. Corona still not willing to put his name behind his comments. Do you have any clue who you are talking about? You make uneducated comments about a team your own son isn't even involved in the program. Why don't you take yourself over to the wrestling room and actually spend time worrying about YOUR son rather than ours. Ours put in the time, the sweat and endless hours of film. Here is an inside tid bit for you, one of the players saying is "It's not about me, it's about us!" Learn anything? Just because Morrison turned your coaching request down does not give you the right to be critical of these Spartans!

Roosevelt Alunmi said:

Unlike Morrison to throw players under the bus in public. Doing it in private is more his style. The passes were overthrown, underthrown, poorly thrown or thrown under extreme pressure. The fact that 8 passes were caught was a testament to the quality of both the receivers and Danny's resourcefulness. The line was over matched by Los Altos DL. But more than comment on Morrison's lack of decency with that throwaway comment I'd like to comment on the positives. Damien as usual has the players any coach in the SGV or OC would covet. Salter is a load. Maybe used in combo stunts with Rabe and he's a DivI prospect as is Rabe. Rabe should be used on the inside rather than as a DE from time to time. Reyes and Sharerer are very good DEs.The DL needs stunts and needs to be rotated. They were gassed by the 4thQ. Where's Gallardo and Silva? The LB crew is better than last year's unit. They are much more disciplined in terms of depth and mobile. Simmons is so under rated it's a crime. Dominguez is legit. Very active LB in the London Fletcher mold and he can and will knock the crap out of you. Williams is coming around and if he focuses more on being a leader rather than a shouter and learning his keys he will easily be the stud he was predicted to be his Freshmen year. Still he's a surprise performer taht has really impressed. Let's talk Offense. Someone needs to see the game better. Damien is easily a 4-0 team. No one can completely cover this WR group. Too fast, too long, too bad they aren't used correctly. Read the defense and take what they give you. Several times against SJB and LA two receivers were being defende by 1 DB and Damien motioned out of that advantage. Why? No cohesive offensive second half plan in either SJB or LA. But the players are not the problem. Bento. Freidrich. Herrerea. Talmo. are all very good. Add Miller and Koprinac and there are outstanding. Alot has been made about Damien's lack of a running game. That's BS! Sainz is a So. back who esposes the lack of lower level position coaches at Damien. He's a stud. Quick, slick and gutsy and avg. over 4 y/carry. Hey he's a SO. and he's starting. Where are all the Senior and Junior RBs? Mc Mahon has speed, power and guts at RB but sometimes you have to know when to put your head down and eat some turf. That's what a RB coach would teach. Danny at QB is heroic. Wish he played defense with McHanan, Hererera and Kopribnac and THAT would be the best backfield in the valley! Haywood is young but a keeper and a big improvement at the safety position.. Oline needs to fire out more and be aggressive. They are in passive mode. The best pass blocking lines are the meanest. The best run lines are super aggressive. Get mean. You work hard but just get meaner and rough people up. Charter Oak might be in for a fall but that fall will come at a price. Is Damien willing to pay? I think so. Great game against LA. LA had a plan and eased into it after halftime. They had the confidence of Champions and strutted on the field like they owned it. And they did. Damien Spartans were Champions last year LONG LIVE THE KING! WITH MY SHIELD OR ON IT!!! Be the one that makes the difference!

Is anyone other than me tired of the SD parents hyping their kid at others expence? He is a good player, stop embarrasing him.

Jeanette said:

First of all Charter Oak football players are a Class Act. Glendora's #3 Reggie Young has been tauting the CO athletes since last year and this childish and hood conduct continued throughout the game. A good athlete takes the wins and the loses in a good character. Glendora's #3 didn't even shake the Charter Oak players had at the close of the game. That says a lot. I hope his parents address his conduct because the coaches allowed it.

I guess everyone suprised that Charter Oak won ws due to the game officials doing everything in their power to give Glendora the win, but talent prevailed.

Stand tall CHARGERS!

03 lancer,

totally agree that Amat should run and go back to the Wing T offense. Seals,Wagner and Prieto would run that great. I am not sold on the Hernandez kid as a fullback..he is way to slow for my liking and he just cannot hit the hold fast enuf. He did catch a nice pass out of the bakc field and rumbled down the sideline for a good gainer but he is just not fullback of my choice. Passing game has only one go to reciever, Frank Lopez and we never utilize the TE silva on passing downs...He was wide open a few times during the Rancho game and he just never gets the ball thrown to him consistanly....If O-luth can throw to Blake Ales so much I am sure Verti being a ex-TE would want to throw to Julian Silva more...if your not going to run timing routes or have a percision passing game then the wing T is perfect for Amat....altho the line must be a force when running a wing T......I like the idea.

I think all my anger left my body when you left our state.If you are in fact a republican I understand your feeling of ease while surrounded by Tartan fan at the CO cellblock. Hell, that is one of the things I like about the "pride of the foothills" I also understand they offer weekly meetings for "Recovering Democrats who now see the light" at the church across from the HS. Your wife might be interested however, you must where shoes and not sandles. I'm glad you are home safely in the comfort of your double-wide in the forrest right off the I-5.

Why are all you people so vicious? How can all of you take the time to post on here and really say nothing? Two can play at that game. I am home now in beautiful Oregon, thank you, just randomly searching the internet to find a newspaper article about the glendora/charter choke game and then i found this blog and just thought I'd post my two cents like the rest of you idiots. I happen to be a republican thank you my wife is the tree huger so what you say could get you punched in the face you coward. So also what you people are relaying is that I should feel lucky to get out of that blighted area? Well good I am safe and hope that I never have to return to that Charter Choke Penitentary again. I gotta get back to my NFL games so gotta run and my dinner is almost ready too. Charter Choke is a horrible football team by the way and they would get spanked if they had the balls to schedule an Oregon team. Poor, poor, coaching and poor poor play calling and undisciplined football, see the penalties.

Rosemead's defense had nothing to do with Northview playing its worst game right?

Who cares who plays in the Valle Vista league or for that matter the Mission Valley league. I can name players from our league that you wont be able to match but what does it matter? It doesn't change the fact that N-view lost.

And why is it a joke that #10 Angel Alejandre could have and did have a better game than Robles? Its okay for you to insult or call another player a "joke"? but heavens forbid if we question the talent of a viking.

Its all good to have pride in your team and all but seriously, just accept the lost,stop making excuses,and move on. Its like you said, on any given night...

Good luck with the rest of the season and I hope N-view stays healthy and injury free.

J Sutton - The only "desperation" pass as you put it, was the pass down the sideline for Alex Chang #3 that went for a touchdown. I'll admit that looked like a duck but other than that the rest of the passes looked good and were where the WR's needed them to be to make the catch.

We can always agree to disagree but please refrain yourself from telling me what I can and cannot say and I'll show you the same courtesy.

Tommy Tartan said:

Cop/Coach,

Thank you for pointing that out. Yes, a handful of "Tartan fans" have cried some sour grapes, but the majority of us are being queit and letting CO have it's day. Don't know about the whole "chop block" thing, but that can be something a team just has to overcome. Anyone who says we lost because of loosing #20, doesn't know our team very well. Brent, get better son. You were having an amazing game and we will miss you. That fact is though, that he had not been a real factor in our first 2 games as we have really spread the rushing load around well. The penalties CO people have been crying about were deserved. They play very agressive (I'm not saying dirty) and with that comes penalties. It's something you must overcome and you just did. Our boys (and maybe the parents & coaches too) may have needed a tough loss like this to get a dose of reality...if you don't bring it each week (& I mean mentally as much as physically), even if you have a very good team, you will get knocked off by a good team like CO. They out-desired us & we made too many mental mistakes. So have your say all you basher's, our fans had a lot to say before the game (too much, for sure and too optimistic) so we have it coming. But this is still a very good team and the most important thing is trying to win our tough league. This game will help us as it did you last year, so for that thank you Charter Oak and good luck the rest of the way.

Skrid said:

Barry,
I still am wondering how co rushed for 200yds on the steal curtain D. Oh yeah, they got lucky. I wonder why they chose to rush the ball that many times on the last. Luck, or because they could and did! I guess ther defense sucked so bad that they accidentally got in the way of your RBs. All everyone heard about was your monsters up front and your killer LBS, did they miss the bus or maybe they were outplayed for 48 min. If your coaches and players are that much better you should have at least won by 10. I thought you people were about sucking it up and moving on, "some are" but if thats not the case I'll be more than happy to continue speaking about your LOSS!

Barry, If you are from oregon your lucky you left that stadium alive you tree hugging freak. Glendora fans would have let that happen of they new,nor would I.

When I see another guy miss a whole 2nd quarter do to diabetes, almost pass out because of low blood sugar, get a insulin shot and come back and murder a team people said he wouldnt be able to take a hit from. Thats when Ill change my name. That kid has heart. Ive neverseen anything like it. Besides the big heart, his cut back moves are great to watch. Any one with anything bad to say should go check him out. You will change your mind. Maybe not Amat fans, They're loseing. How does it feel.

Vike 95

Are you kidding me???!!! Rosemead came out fired up???!!!! Were you at the game? Rosemead went 3-n-out on their first offensive series, while NV took the ball down the field and scored!!! As for Anonymous, Im sorry, you're right, Robles did throw 2 TDs but also threw 4 INTS (two to #3, 1 to #27, 1 to #44). As for the the MVL being better than the VVL-- Im not saying that either, but ROsemead was clearly the better TEAM, while NV had the better athletes with the biggest mouths. Rosemead just played ball and WHACKED em. So you can call it LUCK, A BAD NIGHT, or whatever else you want. I was at the game and saw a fast Rsemead TEAM, playing a flashy but SOFT NV team. NV "darkside" defense OVERRATED!!! NV Offense... Fire the OC and let the HC call the plays. In fact, NV OC told the Mead's DC "You were one step ahead of me, all night"!!!! NV players and coaches know and understand football... Rosemead made Plays (you call them lucky) and NV just over-hype. Maybe if NV stopped spatting and didnt worry about what they look like they may be able to compete with SD in VVL cause they couldn't comepete with the Mead in the WEAK MVL, right? WRONG!!!!

Barry Football said:

I am from Oregon and was in town for business and came to the game to see what California high school football was like. I think the better team did not win this ballgame. There was better play calling on the red teams sideline for sure. From where I was sitting on the visitors side I couldn't tell who was the head coach on the blue team 'Charter Choke Chargers'? They seemed to be fighting among themselves all night long and definitely got lucky. Overall I enjoyed my experience however would not choose to return to that campus, it looked more like a prison. Good luck to both teams the rest of the season.

To J sutton

ill give credit to rosemead they did come out and played their best game.But thats just it their best game.While on the other hand northview played their worst game i have seen since last year in that stupid game against pomona.I think the promblem is that the coaches are not keeping the kids concintrated.But in reality they are no where near Northview .Nowhere near the athletes and nowhere near the skill players. They just played a great game and northview came out like crap. That wasnt the real nv team trust me. If thats the case so then your gunna tell me rosemead or any other mission valley team has better plaryers than the valle vista? So # 4 from rosemead is better than nico barbone, Jason knwols, and charles shorts? Because northview is the best talnted and all around team in the valle vista. They are not the champions, Covina is untill someone knocks them off.If thats the case so number three and 33 is better than kevin jones,anthoney farmer, and arius williams. i dont think so.Oh and #10 from rosemead is better than oscar robles and jacob olivas, thats a joke. watch the comments you make because when you insult nv and claim your better your claiming your better than the rest of the valle vista because nv is one of the best teams there. im not goin to say the best because league hasnt started and they haven't proved anything in the regular season. Trust me you caught nv on a bad day . You guys earned the respect for coming out fired up and handing it 2 nv. but on any givin day anyone can beat anyone.

Wow! That caught many of us by surprise.

Charter Oaks' win over Glendora? No. Although I(like many here) believed the Tartan's lines would control the outcome, I am not surprised that CO's athletes won the game.

No, I am surprised by the Glendora fans reaction to the outcome.

Last season Tartan fans had to hear Covina and CO fans wolfing about injuries, suspensions and other issues that led to their losses. They refused to give proper due to Glendora's effort. Tartan fans complained about it.

Now the shoe is on the other foot. Don't fall into the trap Glendora. Congratulate the Chargers and look ahead to you next opponent.

Both the Tartans and the Chargers deserve this.

Go back to Texas with your beefy heart-atack prone ballers over there. The only reason those teams have big gys is because they breed them to look like that since they got nothing else to live for, then you see kid after kid getting heart attacks on the field, suffering badly from diabetes, obesity, cholesterol, breathing problems, and so on.

Football is for kids to stay active and healthy, not sitting around playing video games and on the web all day long and that's it. It is not something that will make them rich it might just provide them with a higher education but then again that is even to only the best ones.

Okay, kids, go play and enjoy your times in HS because college will be much better and then you can at least claim a true alma mater college and not just always harping back on the high school days like all these blogging loosers do!

And these guy and GALS are nothing but hardcore footballers. What was really hard to get use but was pretty cool was the officals are all mic'ed on the field so you knew who the penalty was called on and the officials all had numbers on their back.

MTC and all his buddies yapping it up on a high school blog reminicing of what it used to be and how they are all "pros" at what they say.

Get over it, let the kids play and FAH_GIT_ABAH-ITTTT....

Who cares who won or lost, the only thing I care about is that these kids get a positive experience, learn something good and maybe the 10 or so out of the thousands of Valley kids can get a DIV1 scholarship to play in a major college and maybe one of those kids every ten years (1 out of 100 out of tens of tousands) can be on an NFL team. Kids, remember that 99.9999% of you will never even strap on some pads even for a small community college, let alone a local U or even a major powerhouse like SC. (BY the way, go Pete Carroll)... Play hard, stay in shape and get those neurons up to speed cause all of you will have to get a real job one day... just remember that YOU do not want to be that 40- or 50-something on a stuipd high school football BLOG when you get that old!

Remember, who is the only local school with an NFL player:

CHARTER OAK BABY!!!

I would appreciate real, true well thought out comments on this and not those silly aggresive outbursts that only idiots who spew hatred can make. If you have something to say, THINK before you speak or tak a deep breath before barking out stuff that does not make sense.

Everyone I'm from Duarte and i wante'd to know what u Think About Our Last Game An 84-0 Win Over Ganesha Friday.

G 0 0 0 0 0

D 44 27 7 7 85

Is it considered running up the score when you score only seven points in the fourth quarter? Is it considered running up the score when six of the 12 touchdowns scored are the result of running plays and three more are on punt returns?

JJIMENEZ said:

Hey Vike 95,

Besides the obvious,(SCOREBOARD)the 4 ints, 3 fumbles and blocked punt. The clutch conversions of 3rd down plays(unlike N-view who went for it on 4th down more times than I could remember) The 2 bogus pass interference penalties that lead to 2 vikings TD's(not gonna mention the b.s personal foul on a clean, hard hit that made both sides say "oooohhh"
that kept another drive alive) or the constant infliction of punishing hits laid down by 'Mead players.

How is Northview the better team?

J SUTTON said:

Vike 95 are you on crack???
Were you even at the Northview-Rosemead game??? Im not sure what game you were watching but Rosemead handed Northview their "darkside" behinds!!! As for Robles and Knowles being "warriors"??? What is that all about??? Robles single handedly cost NV the game throwing just 1 td and 4 ints (misprinted in trib as 2td/3 int, as usual)!!! Just give the Mead their credit, there only loss of the season is to the Tribs #1 team Los Altos. They beat a good Piedmont Hills team (06 Northern Section CIF finalists) and the Tribs #7 team NV. Fact of the matter is Rosemead just made the plays and played all 4 quarters while NV thought they were facing a Montebello (3-7 in 06) or Walnut (2-8 in 06)!!
Hey Vike, the Mead is NO Montebello or Walnut so keep trying to justify or convince yourself that last nights game was "not really NV", becasue I was at the game and saw NV getting WRECKED all night and the Mead running circles around them.

Fred, you are wrong about Northview's D. They gave up 66 TOTAL yards to Walnut the week before. What is "shaky" about that? Last night they gave up 21 points (Int and blocked punt for a TD) and had RHS is a bunch of 3rd and long situations and let them off the hook. NV players in the secondary did not make plays. Give Rosemead a lot of credit they came out and made plays all over the field. This was a good game, hopefully these two teams continue to play each other in the future.

Even if Amat had avoided the defections, and kept all of their stars, they would still lose to the top dogs in the Pac5, the only way they can compete for a CIF crown is to drop their head coach (too immature and inexperienced) and drop down a few divisions. The team is much undersized and lack speed to compete with the likes of Crespi, Notre Dame, Mater Dei, Servite, Mission Viejo, LB Poly and so on and so forth. Amat would do well in the Miramonte League or Del Rey League. So Amat faithful, be prepared for many more losing seasons until they decide to petition CIF to get moved down.

Greetings,

I am Mike the Clone and you are NOT!

HAHAHAHA, you my friend are nothing more than a bandwagon chump with a big mouth, which knows nothing. You want to talk football then talk it other wise don’t come in here wearing buttons and throwing nothing more than your pom pom's around.

I arrived last night midway during the first quarter. (Anyone who flies regularly, ONTARIO is the way to go. In and out really fast)

We got beat last night by a coaching staff that had a plan. Had “Two” Coaches who call offensive plays and had their game plan mark down on charts and in the end had our number.

As for the accusation of illegal stuff....give me a freaking break....go play "jacks" you whiners. we weren’t doing anything more that what your guys were doing.IT WAS ALL LEGAL and I don't need some damn cable replay to tell me that.

What happened to us is nothing more than experience from a seasoned staff beating us.

That is the difference between Coach Lou and "Pasqie" we were beat by Coach Lou and staff PERIOD.

Not much of a welcome home, but that’s apparently the hand I’m dealt. I’m a realist remember.

OUT!

Old News Buddy. COHS is the Southewest Division Champion Runner-Up and returning Miramonte League Champion. While we try our best to diagnose an outcome of the 2MD games, we can't always be right (however I am still 16 - 2 with my 2MD picks). Just remember knowledge is power bud and never underestimate the heart of COHS like I did and you'll be alright. I will leave you with this:

BRETT MARTENEY DOESN'T GET HURT AND COHS LOOSES 14-13 maybe 22-13

There are just somethings you can't control.

FYI: CO (QB)Allen will learn early what worked for him in the last fews weeks is now working against him. Failed not, because COHS defense will come ready to battle, but will prove by the fourth quarter they are not "battle hard" enough to stop GHS's offensive front line and stout running attack. In the end, GHS will dominate the game clock and the game.

Big Reg,
Many people are still waiting to hear what the five reasons Glendora will win are. You are being held accountable.

Amat Alumi said:

Am I the only one that noticed in the paper today that the best players last night statistically for Los Altos and South Hills were both Amat players last year? How does that feel Gano and Bogan to play with two transfers as your players of the week? What would both those teams be without them and what would we be with them? We had so much talent just one year ago and to think they could of been playing on the same field together for their senior year! SAD VERY SAD...

Anonymous said:

#20 isn't doing to good. From the LA Times blog: For those of you concerned about Glendora's Brent Marteney's well-being, keep your prayers coming. Marteney (No. 20) went down during the second half's opening kickoff. The game was halted for a couple of minutes while he was carried off and taken away in an ambulance. Pasquarella said it doesn't look good. "It looks like he tore a ligament in his knee. It looks pretty bad, so it looks like it could be pretty significant."

That would suck if that's the case. The LA Times has a pretty good recap of the game, and pictures. It must have been a pretty crazy seen, what with close to 5,000 people there.

Big Reg said:

Hey Guys,

Nico Barbone was tabbed a 'Weapon of Mass Destruction' early in his sophomore campaign. The guys around the office and I have been referring to him as such for over a year. I can't wait to see Nico this year in the Smudgepot Game. On paper and from reading online he sounds like he is having an outstanding year.

Does anyone know who is holding down the secondary for BOHI? Who has replaced Mike Hooper? Will Nico be the difference in this game for San Dimas? Off the top of my head I believe that this would be the 10th Smudgepot victory in a row should Podley and Co. be able to pull it out. Could someone verify this? It should be a great game with a huge crowd as always. Smudgepot this year is at San Dimas and will take place on Friday, October 5th 7:00pm, Week 5. Fred, any chance of starting a Smudgepot thread?

thank you bloggers the beer tasted outstanding last night

JFR said:

WOW, it's bad in here but not as bad as i thought. I witnessed two teams playing hard ball last night but i didnt see either team playing dirty, just hard. I also saw the team who stepped up in the end win the game. Dwelling on the past only leads to stress which only leads to anger. I was present to one hell of a game last night and believe it or not, both teams needed it to happen this way. Co needed something to build on and glendora needed to be knocked down early on. That is not a rip, they will look back when they win their next tough one and realize that in some strange way this actually helped. Any news on #20, he had a great run for six.

what a difference a day makes said:

funny things to me during the week...

1. all you people who predicted blowouts in the co glendora game

2. when the glendora coach was being recomended as the next bishop coach

3. when glendora started saying ''well some website said the final score between glendora and los altos/oaks christian/south hills etc. would be...what a joke

4. now its crying about chop blocks...its called cutting not chop blocking...when your undersized you take someones legs out

5. how about the fact that glendora held most of the game why do you need to hold those little guys ??

by the way its should of been 28-7...co blew 2-3 chances in that 3rd qtr and another one in the 4th i think (when i say chances i mean inside the 10!)

ok that felt good!!! time to move on because damien is a great team

So maybe we agree on politics but as for football I just felt like we gave that game away and did not capitalize on our opportunities. You're right I cannot and will not make any excuses for us but we had you doomed to get beat again and I refuse to believe we got beat by a better team. No one except you feels like C.O. was the better team. FredJ, Plaid-Lad, everyone else agrees Glendora is a better football team than Charter Oak!

Ever since coach P. and strcula have coached at damien and Glendora, I'm 99% sure that they only beat CO once, last year.Oh yeah, I do get upset when people make stupid statements that they can't back up, that means no what if's.

vike 95 said:

Hey fred and everyone else,

Im an alumni of Northview. I saw the game against rsemeadand i can tell u somthin. Theres no way and heck that rosemead is better than northview. It looked like the vikes came out flat and thought they were gunna roll on them. But somthing that stuck out to me was the heart that i saw that came from these 2 kids. # 2 Jason knowls and #16 oscar robles. Both of these kids were getting pounded play after play because the line was playing like crap. Knowls did all he can do and tried to turn bad situations in to good ones. And for robles want to talk about a warrior. hit after hit was getting nailed even when he didnt pass you can see him on the floor he looked like he was in pain through out the whole game. Although he did throw 2 or 3 interceptions he also threw 3 touchdowns. This kid is still one of the best qbs in the valley and one of the toughest 2. As to go for the rest of the team, take some notes on robles and knowls and play with emotion you guys were dead out there. Defense step up and o line step up. The skill guys are there but they need help. I was dissapointed with the effort and you guys better step up next week. you guys are not a power house team yet ok. You cant just show up and when.And i hopr the coaches get you ready for next week.

In 2003 mid season coach DiFiori changed his offense to the deleware wing and cranked out 5 straight wins. This is a great offence if you have the runners to do it and that year they did. Amat ran it to perfection. It propelled Amat into the second round of the play offs against Los Alamitos and almost beat them. I never understood why they went away from an offence that is obviously very successful. The offense that coach Verti currently runs in very one dimensional and I have stood by that statement watching the games for the last 4 years he has been running the offense. I'm very happy that Amat got their first win last night, but the outlook needs to change. Amat has the runners this year to run the Delaware wing. I think it would optimize the efficincy of this offense and may put them in a better position to put points on the board. This is purely an opinion, but i sincerely believe the wing-t offnse could be run to success by this years team...anyone else have any thoughts about this? how about you Fred?

Skrid said:

Pride & plaid lad,
Your right, CO was flagged for a block below the waist. Plaid lad, if your talking about CO's smaller DB's going low on your bigger RB's that is totally legal. I have never been a fan of it but size will dictate the way one will tackle a bigger guy with a full head of steam.

Baja Glendora said:

FredJ,

Sorry, I didn't scroll down far enough until after you told me so anyways thanks for the responses back. You have seen almost every team play live now so will this week's ranking be what you consider a direct reflection of who are the best teams in the Valley #1-#10? What do you think the final standings are right now if you had to put a wager on the Sierra and Miramonte Leagues at the end of the season?

pride said:

By rule a chop block has to involve two teamates...this did not happen last night. At the line of scrimmage it is legal to block below the waist. Tartans had a pass interfernce against them on the 1st play of the game and a big punt return called back because of a illegal block that may or may not have been there. Let's call it what the game was....probably the two best defenses around and two teams that need to "tweak" the offense and play calling. These two teams will be playing in the post season.

Baja Glendora said:

FredJ,
Where are your post games comments? You seem quiet today? You are the resident expert! What is this post suppose to mean? "If you say you saw this coming, you must be from Charter Oak."

Skrid said:

Plaid lad,
I also saw the replay last night and was even more disgusted with the officials. CO was called for a chop block. That game was so one sided in bad calls it's not even funny. CO should get two victories for last night, one against the tartans and one against the officials. Also, if your suggesting that the CO kid running full speed and splitting two blockers and hurting that kid your nuts. I could bring up the number of the kid who totally missed that block but I'm sure he feel's horrible that happened. It does sound like your dancing around the defeat a little bit. It was a good battle the kids fought on both sides, last year CO lost the same type of game.

sramirez said:

Oh well...,
I wouldn't be too hard on Pasquarella. He's a great football coach who has won where ever he's been. In the 80s, he turned a horrible Covina team into league champs and basically built the success that Dick Sheehan and now Darryl Thomas have maintained. He then built Ayala from scratch into a divisional power. He won at Damien and has turned around Glendora from a team that was near the bottom of the league to a unit that now at least competes for the leagu title and makes the playoffs every year.
The thing I've learned about the Farrars is never to doubt them. I can remember how they got pounded my Los Altos, losing 35-7, during the league season in 2000, then nearly pulling the upset against the same LA team in the D-VII final.
Last night's game was like Pasquarella said, just two really good teams going at it. It was very similar to last year, just a reverse ending with Charter Oak putting together the winning drive at the end.

Skrid said:

How does CO win ths game with undersized kids and lack of depth for four qtrs.....Coaching? I mean come on, that last drive started on the twenty and they drove to glendoras 30 on a couple of short passes and just plain running the ball. It looked to me like glendora was thinking that CO was going to be happy with a tie. I mean what was glendora thinking, CO is going to run a sweep from the thirty with 30 seconds left. Once again we see that Lou Farrar & co. won't settle for kissing thier sister in a close game. There was also talk of the "little People" staff writers fred & steve gave the kids plenty of motivation for calling them small and undersized and unable to hold up with the big tartans. Kind of funny coming from those giants.

CO v. GHS , Missed the game, but herd it was the Time Warner "Game of the Week". If so can anyone tell me what time and channel it will be on?

Don said:

Three things that struck me at the CO / Glendora Game:

1.CO is their own worst enemy. Woe betide the team that has to face them when they play error free football.
2.The Chargers need to open up their offense and turn Chris Allen loose. Period.
3.As formidable as the Tartans appeared, they will need to be a lot better at taking advantage of what “fate” hands them during a game and turning it into points.


I would also say both teams need to make some big improvements in their special teams. Kicking for the Tarts and the Chargers was anything but special.

Dan said:

Betty B., CO Bro, & all other CO fans,
Congrats on your victory, I thought it would be a tough game & not a Glendora blowout, I did fall for some of the hype & thought the Tartans would win a close one though.
With CO winning & Los Altos winning, & D.Ranch
handling Chino Hills, The Miramonte has proven
to be the premier league in the SGV so far for this year.

Dan said:

Vanner,
Congrats on your win too, we at West Co. know there is a lot of talent over there, it looks like the Huskies are putting it together as a team now. Claremont gave Damien all they could handle so your 31 to 0 score over them looks impressive, good luck the rest of the way [except when you play us, lol].

"That was one call my son (Dominic Farrar, offensive coordinator) was sitting on," said Lou Farrar of the decision to have Snowden throw an option pass. "Kanaan is left-handed. We knew he had an option there. He could run or throw the ball. It just depended how he read it."
Coach Farrar is a great coach. While Paskie is just a one and done good coach. And until he can prove us wrong that statement will never change.The whole story lies in that last drive between Glendora and Charter Oak and what a glaring difference between Farrar and Paskie.

Coach S said:

Crutch & company, 85-0

Do you think you guys are really trying to make a statement by running up the score against a weaker foe? If you guys are releshing in your victory by kicking a team when they are down by pouring it on only shows a lack of sportsmanship, class and shame. Crutch you need to take sportsmanship 101 because although you may have won the game, you certainly have lost all your credability and respect by the coaching community.

Like your approach.. Positve to the losers, because there's always tomorrow or in football next week.

JFR said:

Harris had two TDS n the 2nd half. What, no back up RB's at that school. You guys got worked from a doormat in a tough league and you think running up the score on a school that hardly has a football program will help you in the standings. There is defense for this action HAWK, so please stop trying.

What can be said . I was there & they JUST lost with one minute or so left they were NOT ready for that play . CO did not POUND them , NOT TAKING AWAY ANYTHING from CO , they just had the ball last & if not for that play , well ...CO WON . CONGRATS !!! Now let's MOVE ON . I ALREADY SAID in a previous post , CROW DOES NOT TASTE TO GOOD . Rosie SO WHAT you made a few predictions RIGHT . Now does that make you a genius all of a sudden . I hear Gano has a huge coaching staff , maybe he cam use your help , maybe they could shutout teams with your vast knowledge of hs football . CONGRATS TO LOS ALTOS & ALL WINNERS LAST NIGHT . Losers , there is ALWAYS next week . Ask UCLA .

You should be ashamed of yourself!

No professionalism at all!

Maybe Ganesha, Garey, and Bassett, should be paired in the same league with a couple of others. It's really a shame to see teams lose like this, year after year!

Hawks said:

And Duarte doesnt even have enough players to bring in all reserves

Hawks said:

Duarte didnt run up the score...they only scored 14 after the half. Duarte could have EASILY scored 100 last night. They started slowing it down in the 2nd Quarter. They made every play, great catches, diving, over the shoulder, good blocks, big runs. Everything worked for them. Nothing worked for Ganesha, they quit 8 minutes in.

The bottom line is that to have leaders, we need leadership at the coach level(s). Morrison has to held accountable. Come on, time to figure it out!

You have to catch the ball... No s---, but you better get a experienced back or go find one like LA did. Wow, what a concept!

JFR said:

Coach Crutch,
You must still be bitter from losing to LA, CO and Wilson all those years when you had exceptional talent at Pomona. Here's a heads up coach, when yu drop 44 in the 1st qtr we shouldn't see the same name scoring early and then scoring 2 of your final 3tds in the box scores. At some point, any man who has any worth in life will think about the kids on the other team. I love KARMA and when it strikes you once again, "you have yet to win the big one" I will be the first one to cheer.

Off & Running said:

Hi Fred:

I have now seen three running backs that you advertised back in August. McBride, Gilmore and Barbone..

I thought the performance of McBride against Rosemead was the best single game I have seen, but Barbone last night was incredible! The amount of coverage all over the football field was the single best performance I have seen from a RB in the SGV for a long time.

If it wasn’t for three TD’s called back, the kid would have 350+ with six td’s. One of the three called back was a drive play. The D stuck him at the line, kept his balance, bounced back, side step right, two more lateral moves that took the d end wacky and gone like a bullet shot out of a gun! Very talented young man at this stage of his game. This team is very good for a smaller school. Hats off to the entire unit, they play well together.

I’m off to Duarte next week to watch Harris. Hope it exciting as last night!

Glendora fans be consistent and at the very least you owe us bloggers comments about last night's game.

I guess this nobody, lowlife, and all these names you squirrels used earlier in the past two weeks are true about me, but one other thing is true, this ex east los angeles cat knows a hell of a lot more about football than you wanna bee's.

And as for GLENDONA playing LOS ALTOS well did you see the look on Damien's coaches face, it would be worse for your coach after an L.A. spanking, all he would be able to do is blink during the after game interview.

Now that you jokers are starting to unravel we can start to see who the real teams are this year.

Glendona
Wilson
Northview


Time to get back under the rock, and stop the smack, be nice now theres allways next week.

Big Reg,
It's a good thing you guys didn't have that 2 minute drill this week. I was curious to hear your 5 reasons why Glendora would win, and it seemed like you were leaning towards a blowout. I was very pleased with the outcome but didn't predict it ending that way. Step up to the plate and tell me what those 5 reasons were.

Anonymous said:

Seeing the Damien Spartans battle a well coached Los Altos team was painful. Pertusati as the #1 rated QB in the SGV was so off base as to call into question the whole ranking system. He is a very good athlete and strong cpmpetitor but a varsity QB he is not. At least not yet. He doesn't understand defenses. But it's not his fault he goes to a gun battle with a knife in hand and the guts of a warrior. Morrison is either one of two things: the luckiest man alive because of an endless amount of yearly talent or the poorest evaluator of coaching talent on the high school scene. Damien easily has some of the biggest linemen around and consistently has some of the valley's best athletes in Mamahan, Herrera, Schmitz, Mendrum, Rabe, Miller, Brown, Johnson, Travis, Harper, Turner ect. ect. ect. ALL DIV I talent yet he saddles them with poor inexperienced coaches who aren't varsity material . Anyone disagrees only has to see the second half of SJB and LA games to come to that conclusion. No adjustments. Very few stunts and no leadership on either the offfense or defense make for a tired and ocnfused second half team. Name the leaders?. Best of luck to all the Spartans. They play with heart and desire but their lack of football IQ and position coaching at the lower levels has finally been exposed.

Here's the future of Damien's QB situation.

2006 Mendrun SR. ALL CIF, ALL Sierra League , Sierra League MVP, All SGV
2007 SR.Pertuati ????????
2008 SR.Betance??????
2009 SR. present JV starter??? That would be four senior starting QBs in a row! That's kind of crazy isn't it?

Sat in front of the Diamond Ranch players and coaches and they were in awe of Damien's simple game plan and vanilla defense. It is awe when they're laughing right? Don't be defensive Spartan faithful but tonight you were schooled. At least the coaches were.

I think a large portion of the SGValley, including myself, forgot that the Charter Oak Chargers were the 2006 CIFSS Southwest Division runner-up Champions last season and returned many starters from that team.
The O & D line sure "stepped it up" tonite and defended Chargers Stadium.
I do believe I watched a much more capable Tartan team than years past and overall was impressed by the way both teams played.
How about the coming of age of the Miramonte League..... ?

Los Altos
Charter Oak
Diamond Ranch
Bonita
Wilson

Finally, as the SGVTribune has reported Week 3:

Los Altos over Damien

Charter Oak over Glendora

See you all at Smudgepot (hopefully the fan violence will be kept in check).

The Mayor's Trophy has returned to Charter Oak HS.

LA Conq said:

LA RAP...

I didn't say McBride was the best running back period...I said he is the best I'VE ever seen, personally. That's my observation...my personal opinion. I've only been watching HS football for about 15 years, most of which has been here in the SGV but the things he does are special...things I've never seen anyone do before.

I've never seen a kid with his combination of speed and power. He physically punished Damien players tonight, like they had done something wrong. If you were there tonight answer this question for me...how many green helmets flew off onto the turf during the game? Just off the top of my head, I remember FOUR separate times tonight he hit guys so hard that their lids flew off! Who does that? And his speed...he outran every player on that field tonight (including #2 for Damien who is a STUD!) on his "I think I'll fumble the ball, run backwards 30 yards, cut up field and outrun all 21 other guys on the field to the endzone" play.

But if you say there are better then please...tell me who. I love football and want to see future stars. Please enlighten me as to who I can go see who is a bigger thrill to watch than this kid.

Damien FB FAN said:

Brice McBride
This kid is the real deal. I was not convinced of all of the hype about this kid. I could not have been more wrong. He is the strongest running back that I have seen at the HS level. He was injured before half time. Came back on the field and dominated the game. He took some of the hardest hits that you can take and moved the ball foward for extra yards. HE will be a starting running back at a D1 school next year if he has the grades. My hat is off to Greg gano and Co. for the game plan after being handled in the first Qtr. Los Altos you have a special player in this kid keep him healthy. Bishop Amat fans you have no idea what you are missing out on. McBride is the next Barry Sanders.

Good Luck this year.

Mcbrige is good but certainly not the best!

LA Conq said:

Some random thoughts...

1) How good does the Miramonte League look with LA, CA, DR...league should be scary!

2) I think the statements made tonight about the GHS fans beating their own kids have some truth. Kids read this blog and when you're 16, 17 yrs old, you let this stuff get to your head. These kids thought they were going to CRUSH Charter Oak...guess not. Gentlemen, this blog is for us old washed up ex-football players...not for you.

3) McBride is the best high school running back I have ever personally seen (Bryce I hope you're not reading this!). All this talk about how he hadn't faced a real defense yet and his yards came against subpar teams is a load of bull. Rosemead's good...ask Northview. LB Wilson is no slouch...ask Los Alamitos. No one can come on here and say Damien is a poor opponent. Give the kid his credit! Oh by the way...in case you hadn't heard...he played 3 quarters tonight. Had a medical issue the entire 3rd quarter and still broke 200 and munched 3 TDs!

Freddy...is he as good as advertised? NOPE...BETTER!

MORRISON NEEDS A COACHING CLINIC!

cch snp.... said:

Damiens O-line and D-line was huge definitely dominated the ball in the first half but McBride is no doubt the real deal and took the game into his own hands, even recovering his own fumble and running to the opposite side of the field for the score what the heck ,did you see that? 219 yards it seemed more like 300 to me.

Jeremy said:

Joe Colt, with all due respect you are wrong, this is why you have to see these teams in person to make an ACCURATE assesment. Make no mistake Damien IS good. They are BIG, and athletic. Speed and size, they would PUMMELL most SGV teams, bad. I say their game with Glendora will be a nailbiter, I would give it to Damien, Damien is better. Trust me, they probably just had a slow start like South Hills.

Posted by: Quintin TARTANtino at September 18, 2007 11:26 AM

Glendora would have to screw up pretty badly for CO to have even the slightest chance. I don't see that happening with this well oiled Tartan machine. I think QB Allen will be saked at least 4 times. Look for Tartan D to outscore the Chargers.

Glendora is just way to much for CO to handle this early in the season. At this stage, Glendora could beat any team in the valley. Freemans Power Ratings seems to agree.

Tommy Tartan said:

JFR,

Great point. Last year's game at OUR field was almost identical with the reverse outcome. This year, CO's home turf may have given them that edge in a very close game. I predicted a strong Tartan victory (not that crazy 50-6 stuff, but I thought we'd be a 2 TD winner. I was obviously wrong and the CO D played about equal with our D. It was a matter of who's O would clutch up. 7-7 tie since early in the game, we finally get a great drive going (from our 10 to their 25) but have to settle for a FG try from 42. It just didn't work out. It looked like CO was content to run the clock down and just try and get into FG range or take the tie. The trick play (HB pass) worked. The corner bit and CO got the trophy back. Great job Chargers, it was a tough fought game on both sides. Both teams have some things to work on, but like JFR said, we can learn from this and still have a steller season. They did last year. Heads up, chin straps on, and focus on West Ranch. God's speed to Martiney (sp) #20 who was hurt. He was having a great game too. Get well son, your attitude was encouraging.

Saints 83 said:

Conq'76 said:

Damien exposed some real weakness in LA special teams play, getting great field position on kick-off and punt returns and then running back a 96 yarder for a score which resulted in a 17-7 Spartan lead. LA adjusted, started dropping the kick-off at around the 30-35 and giving the D the chance to stop Damiens O.

Once that was settled, Mahumb-McBride did his thing, a few timely screen passes and some hand-offs to Seanez and Martinez, with an end around to Rodriguez along with a single pass to him and LA overcame both the 17-7 deficit and a 10-0 deficit to notch a 31-20 victory.

Note, Damien dominated in size, but most of the hugh Spartan line looked pretty beat up at the end of the game.

VANNER said:

Joe Colt, YOUR SURPRISED ? How do you think Huskie fans were feeling ? However we realize you wont win by playing sloppy and getting too many penalties. Those Teams were'nt better than us but you can't win playing the way we did.
We do have very good talent and we'll win alot this year. Trust me on this one though, Coach Bogan will not tolerate any egos disrupting his gameplan and from my perspective its a non- issue. The players are finding their nitch. Kucklinsky,Parham,Dean,Wells,Umodu,Bowden and many others all had great games tonight and the score almost came close to showing it.

JFR said:

First of all, I hope #20 is ok but I fear his season is over. I was twenty yards away and it happened so fast and so hard that you knew the outcome was going to be bad.
Second, you fans and parents created such a bad situation for these kids with your non-stop babbling about this team way to early. What league is looking the toughest now. This is a rebuilding year for CO who's little guys up front won the battle on both sides of the ball. I'm not going to rip on certain kids but lack of experience at key positions showed. It is still early and the young men will learn from it, better sooner than later. I know it sucks losing to CO but they lost to you last year and grew from it.

Joe Colt said:

Vanner,

I hope you guys do well and live up to all the hype, the talent is definately there so go deep into CIF.

I am just suprised that with all that talent your record was so dismal, one thing I know for a fact is that the egos over at South Hills can be the teams worst enemy.

Hopefully I am wrong and you guys nail it...

VANNER said:

ya Joe colt I've just got on tonight and read your absolutely Bogus take on whats happening at South Hills and had to respond to it. I have already posted the reasons for the loss to Trabuco Hills It was a gift to them, two td's called back one called a fumble at the goal line two turnovers in the red zone....etc. La Habra was tough and we just played sloppy just like the first game. Those things have been addressed. Im suprised you dont know any of this, being so plugged into S.H Football.
As for Wells He Loves being at South Hills and his fellow teammates love having him there. Parham started at W.R. tonight an caught two T.D.'s from Dean,and had great team chemistry tonight. So as you can see Bogan is creating another Great Team. Just so you know Joe Colt I only posted with your name because your "takes" posted as "known Facts" were absolutely inaccurate. The Huskies have put the cogs in motion and are starting to ROLL !. So to you and your Colts, Good Luck the rest of the way.

Is that so....Take your 51-6 beatdown with some respect...

As far as the Tartans, one pre-season loss no matter how disparaging changes anything...The focus is winning LEAGUE..That is all that matters, then come playoff time getting the job done...

Hats off to CO no doubt...The D-Line was nonstop all night....As far as CO being a "better" team?I wouldn't say that, play this game 10 times at CO, Glendora still takes 8 or 9....Too bad theres no "redues" in sports...or football anyway...

Got to take the loss as if it were just another game, bounce back next week playing an even tougher team from most accounts...

AMAT 23 RC 7,

What can I say, pretty sloppy game on both sides. The score should have easily been 40-7. Amat's secondary getting about 5 picks against their sophomore QB. Prieto looked good but tired since taking the load off Wagner. Saw Austin in crutches and Wagner suited up but did not play. Other than that, we looked so and so against a mediocre RC team. I cannot see how this team will fare against ND, Crespi and Carson. We don't have much size nor speed, especially with Wagner and Austin out.

Joe Colt said:

Vanner,

I see you responded only after you won tonight, glad you guys did win but commenting afterwards is sort of hedging your bet.

Your still 1-2 which is way below where that talent should be, do you have any other reason for that record? If so please share, oh and btw I know we barely squeeked by Walnut but the Colts are having a down year and no one expected things to be any different.

Glendora fans you were right Glendora plays a good game.

CO fans be proud of your boys, they played like the team we all knew they could be. Everything came together for them they never gave up and dominated that game.
The O-line and D-line did an amazing job. O-line protected the QB every play, Glendora never got close to him. D-line, you kicked butt out there how many sac's were there?
Kanaan, all I can say is AMAZING. Ben, you give your all every play and it shows. Every player on the team left it on the field tonight. Game over!!

You get what you want...Apperently Covina and Etiwnada were not as bad as you made them out to be
Trojan Man your the biggest wanna be I have ever seen. how big is that button your wearing because its pinching your brain
Copy and paste is the best thing ever throw the ghs peoples words right back at them

Hmmmmm---Glendora chokes out like the dogs they are, Damien gets it solidly handed to them by the Conqs, and Diamond Ranch (that OTHER DB school) drops Chino Hills like a bad habit!!! WOW! Those are D6 skools thumping D2 skools, ya gotta love the competitive nature that our programs bring out in other. No one gives an inch, except Amnot.

I will have to disagree with you this week. I think San Dimas and LA may be the underdogs tonight.

Ontario is bigger on both sides of the ball and SD oline is going to have to really play up! If they spring the holes then I think SD speed will prevail. If not this game will be won in the trenches! Maybe the bigger school gets the smaller school. I hope not, but Ontario is pretty good size.

I think the Damien game is won in the trenches too! Damien is really big up front and again if LA oline does the job Speed goes along way.

If the rain comes, who knows!!!

Good luck

Tartan Pride said:

Tonight...two decent "games of the week" are taking place with LA vs. Damien and Glendora vs. CO Both games have been hyped all week, with both results that will speak volumes on where each team is ranked, when all is said and done, it will not be any blogger (including myself) who will decide the outcome, it will be these four proud teams that take the field tonight. Good luck to all players and may the best teams win

Yet another assinine comments. Now why would we feel bad if McBride gets a free 4 year ride to any school. I think that would be terrific for him and I hope he achieves it.Just remember he got his basic requirements to go to any university of his choice from AMAT. As far as players going to a JC at least they are continuing their education and you should not knock them for that. Something you know nothing about judging from the grammar in your posts. Tell me your affiliation with LA, is it being Gano's personal a _ _ kisser or do you also wash the jocks on the weekend.

I used to be in direct sales, a "one call close" job, and a big part of my ability to relate to people, was understanding how important our own high school experiences were. Many times I was able to establish some significant "common ground" by relating some HS experiences and having someone else relate a few of their own.

I understand good natured rivalry and poking fun at one another, but from my experience, outright insulting another mans high school is akin to insulting his favorite beer, president or dog. (Some men accept criticism of their spouses more readily than they accept criticism of their HS! LOL).

Having said that, I personally will refrain from anything other than some good-natured ribbing and and healthy conversation about the topics we discuss here. Passion for "our teams" is evident, but putting yourself in the other mans shoes, understanding that he too has pride, passion and great memories of HS experiences, serves to remind us all that it is afterall, all about helping the current students get a measure of what we already have.

Except if you support Charter Oak, then everything I just said goes out the window! LOL!

rosy74,

The reason nobodyrespects you on this blog is because you speak with no authority of the subject matter. You think tartan games don't draw fans? You are kidding right? Or maybe your hatred of those more afluent and more educated has clouded your small mind.

rooseveltalum74 said:

We ll have to say great job to the people who pick the game of the week, they really got it right this time.

Over the past few years the markee players have either been on L.A. or Damien and last years game was pretty dam good, I mean both of these programs bring a better crowd and both of these teams have better fans.

Come on we all remember last season when all you Tartan fans were ready to fight each other once you folks get close to league and the wheels start to come off you crabs turn on each other and the staff.

One thing about Gano and crew no one is ever calling for his head, and when they loose its usually to a better team.

Hey how is the Amat faithful going to fill if Mc Bride gets a free education while the boys at Amat nation go to J.C. pretty sad, I think I saw a bunch of parents starting to pick up rocks and sticks by the corner of francisquito and orange av. and they were heading in the schools direction.

One last idea why not have an open date on the calender and lets have # 1 play #2 in the valley every year.

This would be nice to do for all the folks out there that have never been to the finals or even deep in the playoffs for that matter, lets give them a real nice big game experience. It would be great for the communities north of foothill to have someplace to go in late november and december.

Can anyone post scores from lower levels to keep everyone informed on whats going on and what we can look for in the future.. Just want to see how the lower levels are doing. Any league would be fine. VVL, MVL, SIERRA, MIRAMONTE, MONTVIEW, BASELINE...post them all !!!!!!!!!

Wow, nv did hammer the mustangs compared to covina.. but you know, walnut could have just improved somewhat

Mustang Sally said:

Walnut just missed last nite getting our first win over Covina. I did not expect us to win but keeping it close with playing a bunch of Sophmore and Juniors shows a bright side of things to come for the Mustangs next year and the following year. We are on our way back so look for our QB Austin Cooper to be the talk of the SGV soon...this is a star that will be in full bloom in a couple of years....we may go 1-9 or 0-10 this year but look for us to improve dramaticly in the next year or two.

I would agree, but think SD could be on top instead of Northview. It will be a run team against a pass team.

Anonymous said:

Its my only day off for 2 weeks so I am taking advantage of it and resting, I am sure the Colts will be ok against Walnut without me tonight.

2-2 going into next week against Sonora, thats my prediction.

After that its NV and since its a rivalry anything can happen and my fingers are crossed, it all depends upon how much Olivas matures under center from now on.

Joe Colt

Top 2 dogs said:

Joe,

Nothing taken away from DR, they are a great team. I don't have any horses in the race at either school. I do like to support the more local power to me though, Glendora.

Calpreps may be only a "guessamation" on projected matchups, but it is much more scientific and, therefore, more reliable than the average blogger.

Good luck to you tonight! Why arn't you at the game? Or are you using one of those new phones?

HSFBFAN said:

If Damien can not open holes and run the ball it will be a long night. I do not know why their coach does not get it. They have run the same offense for 30 years. Wake up to football in the 21st century. Also us the athletes you have on both sides of the ball. Change you Def sets for a change and be more creative. Your teams always have talent but Damien HS has no clue on how to use it. You have a 140lb so. young running back with no confidence and a stud in McMahon without a carry all year. I predict that Damien will place 3rd or 4th in leauge if they don't wake up.

JFR said:

Top 2 dog or three dog night,
Why don't you just give us your ring size and we'll all in pitch right now for your National Championship Ring. ESPN just reported that the tartans are on the verge of breaking the top 25 in the BCS standings. The kids are a good looking team, but cut out this crap until league ends and CIF begins. They will prove their worth on the field, not you in here.

Top 2 dogs said:

Not to get carried away, but here is the Glendora vs. Oaks Christian matchup according to Calpreps:

PROJECT A MATCHUP

at Oaks Christian (Westlake Village, CA)
[2007] Oaks Christian (Westlake Village, CA) 31, [2007] Glendora (CA) 30

at Glendora (CA)
[2007] Glendora (CA) 33, [2007] Oaks Christian (Westlake Village, CA) 31

at neutral site
[2007] Glendora (CA) 31, [2007] Oaks Christian (Westlake Village, CA) 30

Scary isn't it?

Joe Colt said:

Hey I think Glendora is the real deal but when DR hangs with Edison and then smothers Chino Hills you have to give them props for those games, not only that but what a schedule to play.

I hope they tank Oaks Christian, that will tell us alot.

Another thing is I cant name one kid from DR, that says volumes about that team that competes at a higher level.

Being #2 or possibly even #1 is admirable so dont take anything away from DR, Calpreps is garbage and we all know its a guesstimation of strength.

Joe Colt

JFR said:

Yes it was. But for me it was at edgewoods expense that affords me to be gracious today.

Top 2 dogs said:

Joe, 2 best and Dan,

To bad Glendora and DR don't play one another. Only then would we know the top dog in SGV.

As far a a projected matchup by Calpreps, here is how they would predict the outcome:

PROJECT A MATCHUP

at Glendora (CA)
[2007] Glendora (CA) 27, [2007] Diamond Ranch (Pomona, CA) 14

at Diamond Ranch (Pomona, CA)
[2007] Glendora (CA) 26, [2007] Diamond Ranch (Pomona, CA) 17

at neutral site
[2007] Glendora (CA) 26, [2007] Diamond Ranch (Pomona, CA) 17

Calpreps seems to believe, at this time, Glendora would beat DR, Bishop Amat and Los Altos.

I would have to agree. Who, locally, would beat Glendora?

FredJ said:

It was great times too, wasn't it?

JFR said:

Fred,
It's just that I appreciate everything Edgewood did for my career back then.

FredJ said:

JFR, I feel like your stalking me, (laughing)...Hey, I was on deadline

Dan said:

Joe Colt you make a lot of sense,
I too still think D.Ranch & Glendora are the top two with D.Ranch getting the edge because of the tougher schedule, the Tartan vs Charger game should be a great game, wish I could be there.

2 best in SGV said:

Right on Joe!

Well stated!

Good luck tonight against Walnut!

I got the Colts by 21!

JFR said:

Freddie,
You should just go to a bi-weekly pole update. It's funny how everyone says these early polls mean squat yet, these same people cry when they aren't anked high enough. P.S. you shouldn't curse under your breath as to why a team would call a TO down 27-0 with a minute left in the game. " I'm everywhere Freddie"

Joe Colt said:

There is no doubt in my mind that the reason for their success is a lack of a true superstar and a well balanced attack with solid players at all positions.

To win at any level you need to be balanced,

Solid defense

Solid special teams

Solid kicking game

Solid passing scheme with capable receivers and two decent QB's

Solid running game with a long yardage sprinter and a short yardage bull

Solid O line because nothing good happens offensively without the 5 big uglies up front, Period...

What does a marquee player offer you?

If your egos can handle it then its great, but if not your doomed.

I beleive South Hills fell into this trap, when I heard they had 3 QB's that could start anywhere in the valley I said "Uh oh", that means 3 dads who are used to their kids being #1... No way this works well.

Then when I heard Wells was transferring I knew this was bad, I know some of the dads over there and their kids have to be #1 or they will wreak havoc behind the scenes.

I wont mention any names but the chemistry went to hell once that kid came aboard, it wasnt his fault but the players there and their fathers were not happy... Thats a fact

It is what it is...GHS and DR will perform well because they have balanced talent and are truly a "Team"...

Joe Colt

FredJ said:

Game is at 7

2 best in SGV said:

One other thing Joe, do you think part of the Glendora and DR receipe for success might be the fact that you won't find "A" marquee player, but a team of well balanced skilled players in every position. This would make it extremely difficult for opponents to take advantage of weakness on the field. There isn't any. I hear it over and over again on the blog, but these teams do play like a well oiled machine. Interesting to see which of these teams, if any, will run the table. Both can do it!

2 best in SGV said:

Good post Joe, with a very honest and logical opinion. I would agree with you regarding Glendora and DR being SGV's best two solid programs at this time. I saw both DR and Glendora play. These teams are truly light years ahead of every program. No flaws, allstars at every position.

Your young Colts will gain great experience early and do just find during league. I have already seen substantial improvement in there last game (Victory!!)

Confused said:

What time is the Amat game at Chaffey tomorrow? 7pm or 7:30pm.....?

Joe Colt said:

Agreed on many levels, I believe that the only solid teams we have in this area are GHS and Diamond Ranch.

Etiwanda was a decent test for the Tartans but only time will tell, playoffs are really going to tell us where they stand.

As far as Diamond Ranch they have already proven alot and in a short period of time, if you can hang with a "Farm" like Edison then you are for real. Beat Chino Hills and you have my attention, DR didnt just beat them but embarressed them.

As you know DR is the #1 in my opinion, LA, SH, CO etc arent as good as advertised.

Speaking of South Hills what in the world happened over there? Politics and egos I am sure. All that talent and they are going to implode because of playing time, jealousies etc... Mark my words on this.

Amat? I love them and they represent us in D1 as the SGV's best, Verti tries but the guys who hired him without doubt made an error, he wasnt ready or mature enough for the gig.

and as for my beloved Colts, well you know the story there. A truly great program every 7 to 10 years, but hey every kid on the team lives within the boundries and its a smaller school than most.

Gotta give coach Thomas props for what he accomplishes, he is truly a good man.

Joe Colt

AMAT 02 said:

Amen to that Fred. And that's coming from an unbiased point of view.

FredJ said:

Joe Colt, I actually thought Bishop Amat out played Los Osos, and gave it away in the second half with silly mistakes. And nobody in this area would beat Orange Lutheran or Hart. I've seen Charter Oak, San Dimas, Northview, Arroyo, San Dimas and can honestly say I don't think any of them could beat Bishop Amat. But Charter Oak is iffy, so I left them ranked ahead of the 0-3 Lancers. I will have a better opinion after watching Los Altos-Damien and Glendora next week as to how they would do against the Big Boys in blue.

Joe Colt said:

Fred,

I honestly dont think Amat would beat Glendora, being in a higher division doesnt automatically make you the team to beat.

Glendora would have beaten Los Osos hands down, just an unbiased opinion.

With a different and more mature coach things might be different but lets be honest, Verti is not a D1/ Pac5 head coach.

Joe Colt

FredJ said:

Bishop Amat, mabye :)

wrong game of the week said:

Ok Freddy!

LA Vs. Damien will probally be a closer match anyway. I have LA (McB Express) by 14

Glendora will clobber CO early in the game. I have Glendora 38 CO 7 (against Tartan reserves).

Man o Man, Freddy, I'm not sure at this stage, there is a team that can beat the Tartans.

FredJ said:

Sometimes I'm glad Edgewood folded, this way I can't be accused of playing favorites.

FredJ said:

What's wrong with Los Altos, the Trib's top-ranked team. They haven't been on the cover yet, and neither has Damien. We shot Glendora on the cover when they beat Covina, and Charter Oak was the video game of the week last week. You have to admit, these are two great games, and it's my job to keep the coverage balanced. Next week, Glendora will be on Friday's cover page from Thursday's game against West Ranch. And Glendora-Charter Oak is still going on the front page, we just won't have art of it.

wrong game of the week said:

LA vs. DAMIEN. Your kidding right? Game of the week should be Glendora vs. Charter Oak.
