Temper Tantrum?
Kind of like your post. Oh and if he did.... Whine, whine, whine. you little girl.

If what the Diamond Ranch assistant coach said is true, that head coach Roddy Layton got ejected on purpose, Layton should be suspended for the season. His temper tantrum, including throwing a water bottle, is a horrible example for his team and other kids in the school. That is not leadership, it is a spoiled brat. The only difference between him and Crutchfield is Layton doesn't use as much profanity.

I didn't knock anyone, rather I asked a simple question. In addition, I made no mention of Coach Koffler due to the fact that I feel he is an outstanding coach. In regard to dunaway's decision to hire him, they say even a blind squirrel will eventually find a nut. I'll leave you with another question...Isn't your family supposed to love you?

MUSCATEL ...YES John Dunaway has friends . And he also has a CIF Championship , on top of having a FAMILY who loves him . Don't come on here & knock a GREAT MAN like JD . WHAT A WASTE OF SPACE !!!

TM

Posted by: Trojan Man | October 17, 2007 10:54 AM

I too am a friend of JD. Just what are you trying to accomplish ? Are you questioning players hearts from your Alma Matter ? Or are you questioning Dunaway who HIRED Matt in 1999. Don't know the current roster @ SEM but I coached @ SEM in 96-97 & KNOW that there talent pool is as good as RHS . In fact ALOT of simalarities to RHS of 80's . Let's support our Panthers ...If you think you can help Matt & his staff , DO IT ! But be positive on this blog in regards to The Panthers , if you are going to woof anyone woof the KNIGHTS . Best of luck to you & The RHS Panthers .

CIF rankings are out and I still don't get what these guys are looking at. As a DII observer I can't see how neither Chino Hills (11) or Glendora (14?) are in the top 10. Murrieta Valley gets stomped (by a good team, but) and drops from 8 to 10 with a 3-3 record? Santiago loses to, yes Norco, but at 4-3 they STAY at #9? Los Osos loses to Etiwanda and drops from 5 to 8...OK, but both CHills and Glendora beat Eti and have the same record as Los Osos (with quality wins). And speaking of Etiwanda, at 3-3 they get NO votes, yet they beat the #8 team and also beat TV & Carter who GOT votes and lost to CH & GL who got votes (& should be 9 & 10 IMO). Their other loss was to Serrano (I think) who is the #1 team in a lower division (talk about a tough schedule, who'd like to play theirs...they still get Upland, Alta Loma & Rancho). They could argue for the top 10 as well. Intersting stuff...OK, maybe not that intersting. I should get a life.

having lived down the street from the school yes it is in a bad area but the kids that go there are looked at like top quality students and they are. i have a couple of friends who went there and both of them are very bright. albeite one of them was the valedictorian for last year's class.

Posted by: Anonymous | October 16, 2007 9:33 PM

Anonymous 10/15/07 at 4:09pm,
Your wrong about West Co. getting most of the yards on MD's 4th string, as Bulldog#31 said most of the yardage was gained early against the first string, Tucker had some nice 10 to 20 yard runs early on, then MD. made some adjustments with their linebackers about mid 2nd qtr.

JFR,
Don't need any excuses when we loose to Mater Dei,
I agree with you that MD would walk over anybody
in the SGV just the way they walked over us this year, Bulldog 31 was right however, about West Co gaining most of their yardage early, we ran well our first 3 series then they made the adjustments, we also had a nice 70 or 80 yd. scoring drive late against their 3rd & 4th string, but most yardage was made vs their first string.

Posted by: Dan | October 16, 2007 7:22 PM

Were proud of our school, obviously you're not proud of yours. Plus were getting a good education and getting into schools that you or your kids can only dream of.

give me a break
Dunaway was my coach and is still a friend.

beleive me of course Rosemead is known for heart, I was there in 83, 29 on the total team 21 suited up 9 with playing hurt, dont tell me about heart ..

they should not get rolled by teams like S el monte, ever, with the talent they have.

hey TM you might be right
it might not be the team ,, it might br a coaching issue lOL .

Posted by: LilBushLeague | October 16, 2007 4:03 PM

Knight:

I'll give Arroyo its props. You guys had the stability and luxury of a coach (MacKinnon) being there for almost 2-3 decades and it shows with your record.

While Rosemead dealt with a revolving door of coaches in the past few years before Koffler arrived for his 1st and 2nd stints.(Hall probably had the longest tenure in the past 20 years)

Still the 'Meads record agianst current MVL members isn't too shabby:

vs EL MONTE: 35 W's with 11 L's

vs GABBY: 5 W's with 4 L's

vs SOUTH: 8 W's with 6 L's (seven in a row before last weeks tough loss)

vs MT. VIEW: 30 W's with 3 L's

vs ARROYO: 18 W's with 29 L's and 1 tie (only losing record)

Now, when Koffler and his staff took over in 1999 the program wasn't in the greatest of shapes and it showed in his first year record of going 4-6 but since then its been on the steady rise.

2000: 3rd in MVL
2001: MVL CHAMPS(SEMI'S IN CIF)
2002-2003: that fool from Bonita took over Fatly or Hatly whatever his name was and couldnt win league.
2004:(Koffler returns) 2nd in MVL
2005: MVL CHAMPS
2006: MVL CHAMPS (3 way tie)
2007:????

This time I'm hoping he and his staff decide to stay for the long haul 'cause with them there the future looks bright for the 'Mead.

FEAR THE 'MEAD!!!!! WAR PANTHERS!!!!

Mr. Gilman, there isn't enough room here for me to tell you what I really think of you and your opinion. Besides, I suspect the bad word blocker in place would prevent my post anyway.

However, you are taking these subjects, and yourself, way too seriously. Don't, no one else does, just ask your wife. While you're at it, you may want to reconsider telling the world about your racism. At the least, it causes you to look painfully ignorant, at worst you appear dangerously deluded, (it's California dude, not Iceland).

Last, ease up a little on the caffeinated drinks, they're what causes that twitch.

GANESHA...

It's truly amazing to me that these kids kept working hard every year dispute their win/loss record. Someone must be going something right at Ganesha and I take my hat off to these young men and the entire community!

It’s a sad situation, but somehow they kept their sprit alive and that's something to very proud of!

rosemead problem is not there size or skill players , its always been there heart, just should not lose to S el monte,

as far as WC have a new respect for his coaching,, has the balls to schedule MD,

the tean is definate overacchaiing this yr,,
not a whole lot of senoir depth,,

as far as the idiot that says they are not grooming players for varsity, this team has got 7 sophmores either leading and contributing,,

as far as players going to south hills instead WC ,,,,just remember this ,,,there are alot of south hills players that should be playing at WC

(I R) wow what does that stand for,, LOL

opps did i say that shhhhsh

wait till next yr, GO BULLDOGS

Good luck Rosemead..

GANESHA... yes, they have not won a game.. but every year there are kids playing and doing whatever they could. Remember, every game is different. and you know, give GANESHA credit, they are still out there playing the game.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!

Posted by: an outsiders opinion | October 16, 2007 7:17 AM

Ganesha really has a four year losing streak? They should get moved to the Montview League and move Duarte out of the league. That really would be a league worth watching then! And, maybe, they would break their losing streak eventually. Beat Bassett? Or Sierra Vista?

Posted by: Henry | October 16, 2007 12:41 AM

is ganesha one of the worst programs out there? they havent won a game since 2003!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i believe they have a 45 game losing streak!!!! and there "wins" that have come have all been by forfeit!!! geez!!!!!!can you believe it? 4 years without winning a single game?!!! and im pretty sure its been only a handful of games that they have even came close!!! amazing

4 year losing streak!

Posted by: GANESHA | October 15, 2007 9:22 PM

I can't believe people still say DR is overrated! They have proved their skills and showed us they can play many times now. LA is a good program but I don't think they have the players to stop DR. Mcbride is really good but he can't win the game on his own, and the example is last week.

Posted by: JFR | October 15, 2007 7:20 PM

Hey seems my comments drew a little flaq. Im not sayin the Bulldogs are going to run away with the game im just sayin that the Bulldogs are going to give CO all they can handle. And to whoever said West Co. got most of their yards on Mater Dei's 4th string your wrong, West Co. got most of their rushing yards in the first and second quater against their first string.

Thats right West Co ran for over 200 yrds on Mater Dei's fourth string. They did nothing on the starters. I would like to see West Co have a great program but they don't groom the younger kids for the varsity team. I've been to the freshmen and JV games. They might as well suit up 11 kids because that is all they play. So when they go up to varsity and if a kid gets hurt the next one in line does not have the experiance. Thats not on the kids its on the coaches. West Co has to change the way they run there program so kids will want to go there and play for great coaches. If a good player had a choice of going to south Hills or West Co I'll bet he'll be a husky.

Bulldog 31, I like your enthusiasm, but its best to do your talking on the field, does your coach know your on this board? Good luck on Friday night Charter Oak is a very solid team, the Bulldogs will need a superior team effort by all players to make this a good game. The Bulldogs & Chargers have had great close games for three years in a row, all of them being within 4 points, make this another great game good luck Bulldog.

Hey...this is Mark Verti, head coach at Bishop Amat. What's with all the bad mouthing of me? I'm a great coach. I learned from the very best. He was the best ever high school football coach in the United States. He's name...Tom Salter. Tom gave me the tools to be the best high school football coach ever. Yes, I was a bust at UCLA, and at Bishop Amat when I played. And yes, I couldn't catch a pass even if I had baskets taped to my hands, but still! I'm giving these Mexican kids a chance to do something with their lifes, instead of working at the oil change and filter garage in El Monte, off of Baja Street.

Peace...I'm out!

I guess nobody gave DR respect after beating Ayala, but people are starting to realize Ayala is back and DR beat them at Ayala and without five starters. DR schedule is the toughest in SGV.
1.Edison
2.Chino Hills
3.Christian EL Cajon (check maxpreps schedule)
4.Oaks Christian
5.Ayala (most improved SGV)
6.LA
7.CO
8.Bonita (should have won 35-0)

Posted by: big panther blue | October 15, 2007 3:38 PM

Bulldog31,
Easy FIDO, I didn't see to many cupcakes on co's schedule so far but we haven't played WC yet. I have seen video from WC and at times they look scary good and at other times look scary bad.
I also wanted to let you know that simply picking up a phone to schedule a new opponent isn't that simple. Knowing how coach M. played the game I'm sure he had a few choices but went with the powerhouse MD to gain experience for his kids. You should also realize that co's o-line "all first year starters " learned what it's all about by knocking heads with some big time boys (Glendora, Upland and Damien) that was no stroll through the park. The game will be won on the field not on the blog.
I hate to pick on a school with good football history but Wilson will not win a league game, they are way down in number of players and size.

Posted by: JFR | October 15, 2007 3:12 PM

T Morris,
I never said that CO would loose to WC. Thats not going to happen.The Miramonte league is the most superior league in the SGV and CO has a great football program year in and year out.

Posted by: SGV Football Guy | October 15, 2007 2:32 PM

What Big Panther Blue is forgeting when he predicts west Covina will beat Charter Oak, is Charter Oaks defense. The offense may sputter at times, but the defense is sound. They haven't even been using their two best defensive backs (Snowden and Harrell) lately. I assume to keep them fresh for the newly charged offense, which has scored 78 points the last two games. Their defense is giving up an average of less than 10 points a game, and they have shut down some very explosive offenses.
In reference to BPB's opinon that Charter Oak is not scheduling tough games, Coach Farrar does look for challenging preseason opponents. Unfortunatly, it has been hard. The quality teams (the Big Boy's) have been asked and many turn Farrar down. One can only assume the reason mite be (or is) because they don't want to take a chance of losing to a smaller school. That would hurt their reputation and standing. Charter Oak and Los Altos have reputations as consistant quality programs and they are feared by other good programs.
Does West Covina have a chance? Sure, these day's anything can happen. The reality is Charter Oak is already very good and continues to improve on both sides of the ball. Charter Oak will win.

Fred,

What's up with this guy pushing his video production company on the blog?

Did he buy ad space from the SGVNG.

Also I talked to a certain ex Trib prep editor who I hear warned you about the "Bagpipers" (laughing)

Out!

Diamond Ranch is WAY overrated and will lose to LA.

DR is good in paddle tennis. But should leave football to the big boys.

you are funny man! you call the co/glendora game a real victory for co? no one else seems to think so. 22 seconds left and a trick play to secure a victory. this game could have gone to who ever had the last possesion. it was that kind of battle.

as much as you hate glendora football, the tartans will clinch league with a victory over chino hills this friday. all chino hills can do is run the ball...this will not work against the tartan d.

Fred im with you on stating that youre not sure as to if having Rodriguez on the line for LA would have changed to outcome, but after watching that video, its a shame that he got hurt cause the kid can obviously play. Offensively he would of helped out a lot just to keep the Def. honest, those little dump passes and slants would of kept the heat off mcbride a little bit and who knows after looking at the tape its looks as though he has the speed to might have broken one. As far as LA goes, ive seen my fair share of ball this season, from Chino hills to Rosemead ive seen em all except for CO (next week)...LA will fall the next 2 weeks and might just go 0-4 in league or it might even come down to yet another COIN FLIP, i just cant see them stealing one from DR or CO....that'll make 3 consecutive losses with wilson and bonita smelling blood, coupled with these injuries GANOS boys look to be just about through.

Where were those pizza places around Gale & Hacienda? I need a slice.

sorry guys,
I said a couple of weeks ago it would snow in glendora before they beat CO and I feel the same way with chino hills. Terry Roche is one of the best coaches around and will have his team ready at HOME and yes it will snow in glendora before they beat the Huskies. And like I said a few weeks ago you guys do have a good basketball program.

For all of those who think the Bulldogs are going to get beat like they've never seen remember nobody in the sgv has guts to challenge a team like mater dei especially CO, but West Co. did. but your thinking to yourself, West Co. was beaten 58-7, yes they were, but the Bulldogs also ran for almost two hundred yards on the Monarchs if they play like that there's no way that CO can stop West Co. unless they out score them. The only thing suspect at West Co. is their defense but if they show up on the field they'll do ok they are also getting a corner back from injury so passing all over the bulldogs maybe a thing of the past..

Good pick for Glendora, Freddy! Steve has had it right more than wrong!

Ayala over Damien! WOOOOOOOOO. I never would have predicted this in the past. But, I have to agree. Ayala is the dark horse. They have a very tough team this year. I thought Baca was way underrated last year. I see Ayala taking 3rd overall in Sierra League with Damien dropping to 4th.

Heres my Sierra League prediction:

GLENDORA: 5 and 0
CHINO HILLS: 4 and 1
AYALA: 3 and 2
DAMIEN: 2 and 3
CHINO: 1 and 4
DIAMOND BAR: 0 and 4 (Sorry guys)

This does seem to be a rather volatile year for SGV football!
