This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Amat 73,
I wouldn't support a loser. Verti was there when DiFiori was there at Amat and what makes you think their is going to be improvement. Com'n do you really thik DiFiori is spending time with his family? You are a fool, he couldn't succeed or handle the pressure. So he resigned and if Verti is smart he will do so too. DiFiori is at La Salle HS in Pasadena and is coaching there this year. So, much for spending time with your family. You don't know what's really going on and you settle for a mediocre & losing coach. That is why Amat is where they are at right now 2-8 for the season!

To Amat fans and parents,
Send your e-mails and letters expressing your concerns for the program. You can e-mail the president, the principal and the athletic director from bishop amat's website. The schools address is there if you want to send a formal letter. It's time we take action and get rid of this coach and staff. We are losing future players, former players, loyal fans, families and friends due to poor coaching. A good coach can see issues and problems facing players ahead of time. A good coach can sustain and rebuild a program. A good coach knows his job and friends and family don't have to make excuses for him. Excuses are like assh*les, everybody has one! Time to get a qualified coach that will bring this program back to national notoriety!

Notes on Amat

Hope all is forgiven here.....anyway, just got back from the Freshman football game against Crespi. I got to tell you that the team looked very good eventhough Crespi came back at the end of the game.

I've been to a few of thier games this year and I must say that this coach, really shows a great deal of intensity on the field.

He has shown that he is will to mix it up a bit on the play calling. However, the only thing that really hurts this team is thier execution. But, that is to be expected at this level I suppose.

Still, it is only Freshman football that were talking about, but the hope here is that, they all stay arround long enough to become seniors at Amat. We shall see....

BTW, there really seems to be a great deal of very knowledgeable Amat football fans out there, and I was wondering how in the world these people know who we are going to play next year ?

Outside of league play, does anyone know who the schools are going to be ? Also, who is that guy in the stands who is always running up and down the bleachers with the Amat flag at the games anyway ? He shows a lot of spirit at the games.

AHS,
With that loss they are hungry and will come full force vs Ayala this Friday. Chino Hills will see the Post Season. Ayala it is about time you fielded a good team but you will lose your next two games. Cinderella Story is over.

Jimmy Rodarte,
I hate to break this to you, but Bonilla just might miss the playoffs again this season. After losing to Ayala this week and Damien the last week they are out.

and have you ever noticed that the most misinformed and ignorant comments come from those that post as "Anonymous"

Anonymous,
You are right but sometimes you just have to step on the cockroaches if they continue to come out of their cracks.

Come on 73, don't stoop so low. You're not acting like a true classy Lancer. Be the bigger man and don't respond to garbage with garbage.

next anonymous
I support our team no matter who is coaching . Didn't think that highly of DiFiori but still supported the team. It's fuc_ing fly by nights like you who are bringing us down . Why don't you nut up and quit hiding behind your anonymous tag and state your true colors . Next time wash your hands after you do your business that way your fingers won't stick to the keys when you try to type.

Amat 73,

How much does verti pay you for kissin g his a**? you ar eridiculous..all your posts suck...good job supporting a loser...

I am glad for Kevin Bonilla that he left Amat and went to Chino Hills. He is a senior and had he stayed at Amat he would have missed playing in CIF for 3 straight years. Kevin and his mom made the right choice and now as a senior and playing for a good CHHS team he can get to taste the playoffs for the first time, with Amat he would have become frustrated at losing again. Good luck to Kevin he deserves to be playing in late November, he is a good player.

You don't need to have all those players at starting running back, some would have made great receivers, linebackers and db's. The bottom line is they would have contributed with their speed.

If Gano had these type of players, guarantee you these players would have made the grade in the class room and on the field. A good coach would have developed cohesion and team chemistry with his key players, granted you lose one for disciplinary reasons or grades...but in the history of Amat how many times have so many talented players been lost....I can bet this has got to be the first and maybe not the last.

These kids have been gone some time now . Get over it. No need to print reasons or snide comments. We are what we have on the field and that's it . As far as the DiFiori comments, well he left to spend time with family . Would things be different if he stuck around, who knows it is only speculation.He was not above making a few questionable decisions himself. My guess is diciplinary or academic problems would not have dissapeared and maybe some would have stayed but if they weren't in his plans as juniors I doubt they would have been as seniors, afterall how starting running backs can one team have.

Wells- We all know why he is not here
McBride-Hardship? Yeah right hows the apartment now.
Bonilla-This one was not his fault
Maciel- 5 Fs in a semester? Now proud papa
Saenez- Never wanted to be a Lancer. Left during DiFiori era
Crespo- Left because he was not put on Varsity even though he missed all of Spring workouts
Ray-See Wells
Tamayo- I know he couldn't claim hardship and he didn't move. Don't know how he is elgible
Andrew Loya- Didn't go to spring workouts ever.Also received bad grades. What was he doing with his free time?

totally agree that if difiori was still coaching then amat would be a true contender. this coach(verti) doesnt belong anywhere close to this level. he's a joke..dont u guys agree?

PO'D, add that senior class with the kick ass juniors we have right now Seals,Prieto,Teter,Price,Lenhart,Bowens and I see a D1 Football Championship Banner being put up...horrible that Amat let it get out of hand like that.

PO'D fan , had Difiori stayed on as coach this team would have remained in tact and we would be a fricken force right now. Times are changing.

The Amat senior squad when as freshmans in 2004 (Wells, McBride, Bonilla, Maciel, Saenez, Crespo, Wagner, Ray, et al), beat:

Vista 18 - 7
Charter Oak 40 - 0
Glendora 32 - 0
Valencia 46 - 14
Loyola 21 - 14
S. Margarita 13 - 7
Servite 34 - 7
Mater Dei 0 - 0 tie

Hmmmm....tied Mater Dei who is the #2 team in the state, beat Vista who beat a good Mission Viejo team, beat Servite who is a top 10 team in the state, and beat the crap out of SGV superpowers CO and Damien.

This is what truly pisses me to high heaven, we HAD the talent to beat the best and we pissed it away!

Has anyone seen Elvis? I need some pain killers, I am going to a Amat game.

Amat IS praying for it to pour ashes like it was Ash Wednesday for the Catholics, cancel and get of the game vs Crespi and that is one less ass kicking to endure.

Amat will be outcoached and outplayed come league play. Firstly, Amat does not have the horses to compete with ND or Crespi. Secondly, Amat does not have the coaches to provide a decent game plan against mediocre teams, much less, against superior teams. It will be a massacre this year, worse than last year. If you come to the games, bring plenty of aspirin and pain killers, because it's going to be very painfull to watch.

Hasn't anyone figured out why Amat will not beat Crespi, Notre Dame and Loyola this year and go 0-3 in league. Here is the reason why. There are no superstar players or D1 college prospect playing at any of the Amat footballs teams skilled positions. Name me one?..you go to Crespi: E.J. Woods, Austin Shanks,Fauria ND:Dane Crist, Thaddeus Brown what does Amat posess after Dominique Austin who is a lineman?..The only way Amat had a chance this year to come out and beat these teams is if the team still had Bryce McBride, Dorian Wells and Kevin Bonilla not to mention Tamayo (but not as qb) Andrew Loya (who is needed on the o-line) Sermons. Had Amat had these players their record is not 2-5 right now and is 5-2 or 6-1 going into league play. League play would have had some great match ups with Crespi and Notre Dame plus Loyola. With what Amat is playing with right now and what the other teams have as far as talent Amat is way overmatched and will go 0-3.

When the Duarte Falcons win CIF what's the Valley going to say?
Answers:
-Man, If they hadn't played De AyaLa Salle they would have been undefeated and on pace to win 153 in a row by 2018.
-Who did they beat to get this title?
-Do you think Crutchfield will take that Notre Dame job from Charlie Weiss now?
-Fred, when is somebody gonna give Duarte some
R-E-S-P-E-C-T ?
-From Gladstone crowd. Dude we kicked butt on the C.I.F. champs. That fight was awesome!

CO Fan,

Duarte this year are in a class of their own in their league. With small schools it comes and goes. I dont think CO's scores and those other scores were deliberate efforts to run up the score I was just trying to show how alot of people jump on Duarte without provocation. If they dont like Crutchfield fine, but dont throw the whole school and city under the bus for playing good football against inferior competition. The same thing would happen if any of the lower level schools were in the division.

Patrick, I have to admit I didn't see this 0-2 start in league coming. We did hang 36 on Chino, havent down that in awhile during league play....gonna have to settle that defense down to have a good showing in these last 3 games, anything can happen, but this is it...those boys have improved greatly to this point,...its Martins first year and things look to be rebounding......give em hell friday night Brahmas!!!!!!!!!!!

Notes on Amat

Yes indeed, I deserve what I got just now because, I made a mental mistake on the name of our running back.

I think it was because of the latest link that was posted concerning offensive linemen. Must have had Austin on my mind.

In any event, I can see and understand that people would confuse the negitive postings here with the players instead of the coach. Believe me, all that I have read on this post, as well as things said from others here, it is obvious that all the negitivity is directed towards Verti and not the playes.

Anyhow, as I said, I made a mistake with names and I deserve what I got. But I truly stand by everything that I have posted so far.

Is there any dispute to that ? Come on folks ? you all know as well as I do that this team has the potential to win here. We have good team, and yes we can beat Crespi. Its just that we (the coaching staff) has to come up with a better approach to the games, thats all. Perhaps the blogger the other day said it best, maybe we need to look at changing things up a bit. Maybe the quaterback ? or what ???
I look forward to any comments here :)

Jcaz,

You make me laugh, you must be one of those new breed of fans that everyone is talking about..."Austin up the middle, Austin to the right, Austin to the left and Austin dumped for a loss in...". I guess you must've had too much of that thunderbird and been booing the wrong team or something.....

Hey what happened to that other dummy....Rosie74, he's been awfully quiet these days.

Jcaz,

I too was starting to read seriously into your blog when I realize you couldn't possibly have been to one Amat game unless you are both deaf and blind. Even my dog knows that Austin is a lineman and Marcus is the running back. Like Joe said do your homework first before you post anymore nonesense about Amat.

I think Joe and 73 are twins and have been separated since birth.

Mat,

Undertand and can totally relate to your posts.....

Wow you've truly changed in your time away.... I like that fact that you're no longer personally attacking many of the same Coaches (remember your Baseball Blog posts???) that helped build the Amat that we are used to.

Good to see that you've come back with a new and mature take on things.

Hope you keep this new and improved attitude going.....

NOTICE !!!! The VANNER that posted on any thread between Friday evening and thirty minutes ago was another lame blog imposter. I was in Catalina till yesterday evening.

Joe, we're to cheap to hand out awards, but thanks for being Mr. 600. Nearly every thread is hitting a 100 comments these days. It's a credit to all our bloggers and the passion in the SGV. This blog was never about Aram or myself, all of you make it what it is. It would be successful no matter who's running it.

JOE,
True LANCERS think alike when it comes to our men on the field.

Hawks
I can only speak for Co but after half time Co starter such as # 4, # 6, did not play,they pulled many of their starters off defensive also.Some teams just have a bad night..Same story in their last game with a score of 55-28
Not many starters playing in the 3 & 4 Quarters.

73,

That's about the 3rd time in a week we've both posted the same thing at the same time.....scary!

I want to hear from Mattbags on the booing of NEW amat fans. Matt where are you.? Jcaz you are so wrong.

jcaz,
How do the players know your booing the coach and not them. Think about it, you just failed to score when your coach showed confidence in you that you could do it, then the boos come raining down out of the stands, put yourself in their place I imagine it didn't feel very good for the players to hear that. I bet you have an AMAT nation t-shirt to go along with your right to boo .

Freddy,
is there a prize for being the 600th poster. This thing is blowing up .
And look at the volleyball threads - they are getting attention too!

Great job!

PS: Is it helping circulation?

Paying admission does not necessarily mean you should take license to scream and boo, as hard as that might be.

When you boo, for example, as the lancers failed to score at the goal line...do you think that all of the 15-18 yr old players understand that you are booing the play call? Or might they think that you are booing their performance. Do they deserve to be booed. What about the players family that is sitting next to you? Do they know why you are booing?

There have been plenty of reasons to be upset and disappointed. Lord knows I've been vocal both in word and print...but not in the stands...and to the appropriate people.

JAC-AZZ YOUR ON CRACK.

JCAZ,

What are you talking about?...Austin happens to be our lineman. Get you facts straight, and if you are talking about Marcus Wagner, he is done for the year. You are newcomer from what I can see and you have the right to boo you paid for your seat, but the true Lancer fan wins and loses with dignity and never turns on his team only to remain silent in a loss and wait for our turn to take the field again and compete for a win. Win or lose in these next three I am proud of my Lancer Son.

Jcaz,

I started to hear what you were writing and I was going to respond appropriately. Then, as I comntinued reading, I realized that you weren't as knowledgable as I first thought and it was not worth the kilobytes that it was taking up.

Austin....is a lineman. No ball carrying there!

Study up....come back later.

Note's on Amat

What does that mean anyway ?? New kind of fan ? Does being an "OLD KIND OF FAN" mean that you have exclusive ownership of Amat football ?

Look, the resason people like me booed was because of Verti's poor play calling. Should have gone for the field goal. Anyone who even watches on T.V. could have told you that.

So coach gets booed, so there are people who are angry and sounding off at the 50 yard line....man oh man give me a break here.

Did'nt Fred say at the begining of the season that the toughest job in the valley was at Amat ? He did say that for a reason you know.
Bottom line here is that, in some way, there has to be a better approach to the games.

You know, I commend coach on the offensive (game plan) that was changed last time. But with Austin probably due back next time against Crespi, I wonder if it's going to be......Austin up the middle, Austin to the right, Austin to the left and Austin dumped for a loss in the back field, because.....EVERYONE KNOW'S it's AUSTIN WITH THE BALL NEXT PLAY !!

Coach, please, mix it up a little bit here. We have good players and a great defense out there. Guys who can contribute to this fine team.

MAT,
Could not agree with anymore than if I posted that myself. I to was totally pissed when at the SP game these new type of fans started to boo the team after the missed goal line attempt to score. never heard that before in all my years of AMAT football. It is just sending the wrong message to kids who are busting their asses out there all week long . We as true LANCERS will continue to support and stand behind the team and hopefully this new breed of fans will learn what it means to be a true LANCER.But if they can't act with class your right ,just stay home and don't fowl up our proud tradition because after all WE ARE AMAT.

Joe, I know who I sit around and it's those people I must face. I'll give them credit for biting their tongues last week. Call it a lesson learned.

It's posts like that that have made

Joe Amat the #1 ranked quality blogger on insidesocal.com/preps

set the standard Joe Amat.

You Know Who I Am,

Way to Lancer up and address the group. Facing the other fans is manly. The tough part will really be biting your lip the next time the going gets tough. I know that game time has been tough, this blog is where you can vent. You never know whose mom, dad, wife, grandma, etc is sitting around you at the game.

I've always had a rule, "Argue in the office and Unite on the Field".
This is our office - in the stands we need to be supportive.

When the Duarte Falcons win CIF what's the Valley going to say?

GO DuRoc!!!!

MAT, that was the easy part. The hard part will come when I apologize face to face with the other parents.

You Know Who I AM...pretty classy of the Bishop Amat legendary old time FANS not to rat you out by name.

That's the Bishop Amat I used to love and respect.

All class all the time!

MATMTWTBAG...that was worth the wait.

I, the offending parent in last Fridays game, do offer my sincere apologies to the Amat fans and family. My emotions got the better of me and I admit that my comments got out of hand that night. You have my word that it will never happen again.

I have not come on for awhile for good reason, the team as bad as they are playing right now and the coaching staff that is enduring these defeats have gone out for us every friday and have done their utmost to bring us home a win. It has happened (wins) twice much to our NEW followers displeasure. We the real Amat followers and loyalist will support our program til the end and then talk about change, nothing you can do about it now, we are too far into our season for change. Once a dominating D1 program and the toast of the SGV, we are no longer at that stage, but we will return. In the golden days we won with class and we lost with class, I wish the same could be said about todays NEW Amat parent. Please back our kids and back our coaches til the last game of the season win or lose, we forget that they are laying it on the line for us every friday and are the ones taking the pain out there and deep down they know we are not happy with the losing, do you think they are?. The worst thing in this losing season is for parents and family of the team is to turn on Amat and it's coaches during the season, all this breeds is more defections and more down turn. Your up when you win, your down when you lose, but in all case you should do it with class. To the Parent or family member up in the stands last friday that yelled (put some shi- on that ball) after Lenhart threw a interception, you are the fans that give the rest of us a bad name. Stay home Mr. if you have nothing good to say or are just going to our games to yell a bunch of BS. Save your Gas and tires on these long road trips, we dont need people like you at our games. Win with Class lose with Class thats a real Amat Parent and Fan base.

LOL @ everybody blaming Crutchfield for running up the score when he wasn't even there. Like someone else said Duarte doesn't even have a full 2nd string and in every blowout the ENTIRE JV and some Freshman play. Even with the JV added Duarte still has less players than most schools in the SGV. Is Duarte the only school that should not try to get better from game to game? Should they send in the JV and tell them to fall on the ball for a complete half or quarter?
By everyones standards were these games also unfair and horrible sportsmanship? Or does it only count for Duarte?

South hills 42, walnut 3
Bonita 42, Wilson 7
Charter Oak 50, Wilson 6
Los Altos 39, Long Beach Wilson 7
Glendora 51, Covina 6
Los Altos 35, Rosemead 0
San Dimas 42, Gladstone 0

Spartan Fan:

04 season leading rusher Carlos Arevalo 222 yards
05 season leading rusher Pat Coke 618 yards
06 season leading rusher Chris Marine 638 yards
07 season leading rusher so far Saenz 234 yards

I could see how Coach Morrison would not have lied when he told Baca that Damien is a running school and he wouldn't be the man. That's integrity for sure. Or just a lot of Damien hot air.

Speaking of hot air.

Damien passing over the past 4 seasons

04 Danny Alfaro 467 yards
05 Mark Mendrun 1174 yards
06 Mark Mendrun 2005 yards
07 Danny Pertusati 925 yards

Either way not much of a balanced attack.
I think offense is Morrison's specialty right?

2004 season 2-8
2005 season 6-5
2006 season 9-3
2007 season 2-4-1

Do the math 19-20-1 over the last 4 seasons. 1/3 of those wins were against over matched teams like Riverside Poly (2) and Ayala and DB the last 2 years (4). Diamond Bar is easy pickins and tailor made for a big Damien victory this week. Damien 42 Diamond Bar 7.

Damien needs help. With QB Danny Pertusati playing with "turf toe" and a "separated shoulder" who could possibly be the backup QB that steps up and leads the team? Betance? Serafinko? Merrick? or the Soph. JV QB? By the way does Baca have a brother?

Nice try.

RDonline at October 22, 2007 10:13 AM

Support the entire team or shut up!

Maybe softball is coming sooner than later!

Baja Glendora,
I was impressed with C.Oak, very physical team
with some missles on the defense. They close in on the ball quickly. The offense with Snowden, Harrell, the sophmore #16 RB, & others has many weapons, and a qb who can get the ball to them.
If C.Oak was ever going to challenge Amat this should have been the year, with Amat having the rough year they are having. Depending on how they look vs Los Altos, I could see them in the Title game, although South Hills looked impressive when I saw them too.
As for our WC Bulldogs, we have three returning starters from last year's team, & thats both offense and defense, plus about 6 or 7 sophmores
who are seeing a lot of playing time,[I believe 6 are starters] that adds up to a lot of inexperience, and youth on the team, it has shown on defense when we play good teams this year, most years we have good pursuite on defense and LB's and DB's who can make open field tackles, so far this year we struggled with that against good teams. The bright side is our offense, as we have been able to score in most games, I don't think anyone has put up 28 points against Charter
this year, & if I remember right 21 of those were with most of the starters in. If we can just shore up the "D" you never know what can happen, even this year.

Damien fans...don't expect Pat Traver$ to do the right thing and fire Mighty Mo and Little Carroll. Look at what a mess he's allowed Tom Carroll to make of the baseball program; and his son isn't even on that staff!

Damien's motto is "The Tradition Continues," but I think they should change it to "Damien
High School...We Used to Be Good."

Here is the problem with Damien football. The defensive coordinator is about as good a coach as the athletic director...They are both incompetent and both need to go.

dan
yes its for sure but not sure of the week, 1,3,4,5, zero is san dimas, sh is 7, and league and not sure of bye week.
baja glendora,
my opinion, charte oak on another page than wc, and thats nothing against wc, just co is very good

Dan,

Please give me an honest opinion of last week's game versus Charter Oak? You always seem to be truthful good, bad, or ugly and I would be curious to here what you have to say from your perspective Friday night. Can you evaluate both teams please? Thanks!

Wow,
I stay off my computer for one day and this thread explodes with record setting post!

Rqd2626
Is West Co. vs Los Altos a done deal?
Not sure how good we will be next year but that would be great news. Have you heard which week it would be in?

Prepwatcher,
I wasn't at the game so you have a good point about me getting my facts right before I post.
No offense ment to Amat and I hope there is something the coaches can do to turn things around in league for the you guys. In my "before the game" opinion, I did think Amat should have been the underdog to Alemany because of the calprep rating that Alemany had, but more so because of the fact that Alemany came within a TD of Crespi who is very good this year, I could be wrong but I can't picture Amat being that close to Crespi or Notre Dame, yet hopefully they prove me wrong, cause I would like the SGV to have a true D1 power again, whether it be Amat returning to glory, or a new up and coming power from one of the other SGV programs. I'd love to see the Bulldogs build into a powerhouse but deep inside I don't see any SGV school turning into a D1 or So Cal power. Never the less I wil still follow and love SGV football like no other sport.

D RANCH IS #1 THERES NOTHING ELSE 2 TALK ABOUT!!!!! PLUS THOMAS CLARKSON IS COMING BACK FROM INJURY THIS WEEK ITS A RAP LMAO

PREPWATCHER22

Get real pepino. If Verti has time to read these blogs that explains why Amat will bust in 2007.

Amatalum,
Agreed. Send a message to MHphd, MSGr, AD and the alum director to express those concerns. Class starts at the top and respect is commanded, not demanded. When we have strong leadership that sets the tone it is apparent the way we do things. When there is no direction scum seeps into the cracks - and things suffer.
"Amat Nation" tshirts - give me a break!

The current affairs in football of my Alma Mater is nothing to be proud off, especially when you compare to our past programs, rich and proud in traditional values. But what is more shameful than our current win-loss record is the behavior and attitudes of some of the Raider fan mentality in the Parents/fans which I have witnessed at some of the home games. Now that's more pathetic than any losing record. My have times changed.

Notes on Amat

For what its worth, I was on the 50 yard line that night, screaming my head off. But the only time I heard anyone say anything derogitory was when the ref's threw the flag (and then threw the game as well).

Look I agree, it serves no purpose to be outright mean towards people, but a the same time there has to be a way to communicate to the coaching staff the outright frustration that alot of people have towards the way this program is going right now.

Im sorry, but people are proud to be lancers, and to see the coaching staff just be one dimentional during games, is just making people crazy here.

For what its worth, this last game looked alot different this time around. The coaches came out with a good game plan. They mixed up the plays and were, in my opinion very succesful in getting the offense to move the ball. It did'nt help that the ref's realy took us out of this game early (if you were at the game you know what I mean right ??), but over all I belive it was the best job they have done so far, never mind that they had to change the offense because Austin got hurt.

BTW, I truly belive that we have a better than average chance against Crespi and even Notre Dame. The staff has to be more creative here. They need to look out side the box and try to see how it is that we can best match up to these great schools.

I belive that if we keep the same philosophy as we had against Alamany, that we can very well pull it off. We have a better than average defense and the team is'nt as likly to give up points on the special teams like before.

Just mix up the offense and come up with something differnet, like the old hook and ladder (Carson), doubble revese (St.Paul), different offensive sets (St.Paul), hurry up offense (Loyola last year), fakes (orange Luth), and chanes in the offensive approach to game plans (Alamany this year).

Did someone say win 2 of the next 3 games? If we were in the Montview League, I would wager on that one. But we are in the Serra League and the Las Vegas gods would call it a long shot, so hold the bets on this one. Say we do win 2 out of 3, geez, we would face a number 1 or 2 seed team from the PAC5 and that would not be a pretty sight to behold. I do support our boys, but it is what it is and the way things stand for now is not a pretty sight either way you look at it.

Randy,..

I must say...i like where Coach Martin is taking the team...on the otherhand i can definetly accept the fact that this wont be the year to "really" show what the Brahmas can do....We are putting up more points and moving the ball in the air MUCH better..so for me..that's a BIG start.

Whats your take on things thus far?

Do you really think an Amat coach is going to read all of this blogging? Never!
If you're an Amat parent, you have to believe in your son but you have every right to complain about poor coaching. You might as well stop the negative comments in the stands, the coaches ignore it and it just makes everything messed up for everybody in attendence.
Amat can win what's left of this season if the head coach and his staff admit to thier errors and step it up!

Football Parent,
I feel your pain. I agree with most of what you had to say except,
"...It will turn itself around..."

Things don't "turn themselves around". Ask the Raiders, or the Lakers. Someone needs to be proactive and make the changes necessary to get anything done.

You are right...it will turn around...always has. The necessities and infrastructure are in place for amat to be the premiere school once again...as a school and in all sports. But the right leadership must be in place to make the right decisions....and then be empowered to so so.

Prepwatcher,

You are correct, there is always a way to win. The key is to find it. All fans and parents are hurting right now, some just give up while others have hope that the boys will turn it around. The frustration is showing and from what Football Parent wrote, some show it more than others. In the end, we all cheer for the same team.

FOOTBALL PARENT, AND ANYONE ELSE READING THIS...

HOW CAN YOU BE A PARENT OR EVEN A FAN IN SAYING 3 MORE GAMES AND 3 MORE LOSSES? THATS RIDICULOUS..THE SEASON IS NOT OVER AND THERE IS STILL TIME LEFT TO PLAY AND MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. THE BOYS JUST NEED TO WIN 2 OUT OF THE 3. I BELEIVE THAT AMAT STILL HAS A CHANCE AND VERTI NEEDS TO GO ALL OUT AND CHANGE HIS FORMATIONS DRASTICALLY. THE OFFENSE NEEDS TO FIRE IT UP AND LET IT AIR OUT....I THINK WE HAVE A VERY GOOD TEAM AND THE CHEMISTRY IS THERE, ITS JUST NOT FORMATTED CORRECTLY..THE CHANCES AGAINST CRESPI ARE VERY HIGH..REMEMBER, CRESPI BEAT ST PAUL 13-0..ST PAUL COULDNT STOP OUR OFFENSE FROM SCORING..YET THEY HELD CRESPI?....WE EVEN HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST LOYOLA..
ANYONE ELSE AGREE OR DISAGREE?
HOPEFULLY THE COACHES READ THESE BLOGS BECAUSE BLOGGING AMONGST OURSELVES IS FUN BUT DOESNT BRING RESULTS....ITS UP TO THE COACHES TO MAKE CHANGES...

I hate to see the chalk talk outburst this week at Amat Tuesday. You can blame the coach and you can blame the team and you can blame the AD and you can blame the Monsignor, but the bottom line is we are not a very good team. Chemistry is everything and we have none. Going thru the motions is what I see. 3 mores games and 3 more losses this is what it's going to come down to. 2-8 season for Amat. Next year at best 5-5 from there another down turn of 4-6..not much in the cubbard over at Amat. We need a complete overhaul. One thing is for sure as a Amat supporter and realist I still stand and support them win or lose unlike some of the parents and family of kids on the team, talking Trash in the stands and screaming foul language at Verti and Lenhart during fridays game. How do you think our team felt listening to this. That sideline was close to the stands over at Alameny and our team was hearing all that deragotory crap coming out of the idiots at the top of stands on the 50 yard line. The New Amat fan I am ashamed of. I am so glad it is my last year with my kid there at Amat. As far as the football team I will always support that team is has been my favorite for years and will never change despite the new hostile Amat parents. They will leave someday and things will return to normal. A bad season and some bad parents we at Amat are going thru right now..It will turn itself around. Unbelievable, instead of staying strong these new Amat parents and fans are weaker than ever and start turning on their own team and coach, they forget these are HS kids not the NFL.W hat loser some of these parents are.

Amat Fans! Better yet...AMAT Parents.
Don't you pay big money to send your kids to this titled Division One school? In the Public school system your opinion might count, in your private school system your opinion MUST count! Talk to your administration, improve your coaching staff!

Trojan Man can YOU READ. That was my point! Sarcasm. Open a book from time to time. Better yet. I'll buy you a beer. Dude trying to impress the locals has made you a little loco...comprendes Mendez? LOL

See you on the Mat!

ACLU,

Bobby Knight had nothing on John Cheney when it came to emotional outbursts. I never remember Knight threatening to kill another coach at a press conference or sending in a thug to injure an opposing player. Imagine of Cheney was...oh wait...never mind!

Tough times for amat. Have done nothing to earn back the big golden "Capital A". Still lower case. Kids are still working hard... especially the D.
You guys are right, they are on the field a l o n g time!
If you've stopped in on any lower level games, it's no different there, which hints that it might be the offensive philosophy that is lacking. Which is interesting because before becoming the head coach, who was the offensive coordinator?

We're really about 4 years into his regime - not 2. Anyone that was around knows that in DiFiori's last year he had already checked out by letting his offensive coordinator run the show in many areas of the program.

It's good to see some other realists out there - we haven't heard from the apologists likeRalph W., AmatAlum, Amat Alum2, Lancer 2 DN, Columbo Chalk Talk Tue, Chalklumbo, and Warrior Lancer.

bluorca and MATMTWTBAG have not been on as much lately either. Might not be as much to talk about when it comes to amat, but blu always brings it. I know MATTY is a little frustrated with some of the other posters and the personal attacks. MATTY - it's a kinder, gentler blog (Freddie - good job)....but blowing up numbers wise....550+...and it will hit 600.

Aram created the buzz by "stirring the pot"...which was a good thing. He's gotta visit, so we know when this imposters set in. Mean Machine...good to see you back...hope things are going well at 'SC...we have a couple other big supporters that have joined the fray lately with some Trojan smack.

MTC, long time...we gotta get you back as a regular contributor. It hurt your ranking, buddy !:?) You know how pollsters are, what have you done for me lately? When talking about knowledge of the sport - you're near the top IMO. (And about that FJ...you gotta have Conq'76 in the mix...great insight). GREAT win by Glendora! That takes a little luster off the Diamond Ranch victory over Chills and gives them less of a reason to try to seperate themselves from the pack. The close win over a depleted Los Altos doesn't seem too impressive, so their matchup to end the season over Charter Oak will be great. Until then 1,2,3,4 is up for grabs.

Very disappointed in the DR coaches outburst. When you get to that line the coach has got to know when to back off and not cross it because he owes it to the team to be available the next week. It's a good thing they have Wilson next week - especially if Gilmore is out. Our last great basketball coach was known to stand up for his players as much as any coach I've seen...but he knew when to stop and now speaks to coaches nationwide about positive coaching. Maybe Diamond Ranch should have him come in and talk to their staffs. I heard that DR hired a rebel basketball coach too, so we'll see how that turns out. Maybe they figure that they are going to win come hell or high water and that's how they are going to get on the map. I thought CIF's motto was "Character Counts!"

WRESTLING A SPORT FOR WIMPS !?!?! GET A CLUE , you really are in a FOG .Most HS coaches with brains KNOW that players who wrestle are usually the BETTER athletes ,IN EVERY WAY .TIGHTS OR NOT Wrestling is a MANS SPORT , Well womans too sometimes ...

FIGHT ON !!!

If Coach Crutch was white there would not be any issues as to his on and off field behavior. Can you imagine if Bobby Knight was black, with all the temper tantrums, he would have been banned from a life time of coaching.

I don't understand why some LA fans are bashing Gano. He is playing without his "studs", out with injury and puts up a hell of game against a top team in DR when everyone gave up hope.

Most schools would drool to have a coach with his caliber on their side. Take Verti for example, he was unproductive with all the god given talent he had last year and this year with all the talent defecting, his productivity is in the red ink. Can't get any lower than that.

Just imagine, where Amat be if they had a HC as talented as Gano.

FanAt,

Yeah, it's hard not to look ahead to that Ayala game. Hope we have a couple of injured D guys back by then, they would help against the pass. As for our "toughest schedule" I have to amend that just a bit. I have said that CalPreps is as good a guide as any (can anyone say it is more biased than any of us? Or takes more information into account?) and they rate each team's "strength of schedule" and it looks like DR's is just a little stronger than our at this point. So I'll say "2nd strongest in the valley". How's that for being consistant and backing up a statement. Is the Chino game this week on Thursday for sure? I guess so, but I had heard Friday as well. Not sure how I feel about all these Thursday games this year, but let's go take care of business against a team with a rich history. I remember our game there just 2 years ago and they were the cream of the league (and had been for several years). They were big, fast & well coached. Sounds like Chino Hills now, I guess. Still you've gotta worry that we don't let down.

I get so tired of hearing how Duarte runs the score up on the weak Montview league. Why don't the teams in the league learn how to stop a power or counter, or perhaps a quarterback keep. No one bitched and complained when San Marino put 75 on Keppel. We have 30 kids on the team which includes out JV team.

I hate to say this, but the Lancers are done this year. They don't stand a chance against Crespi and Notre Dame. They might stay close with Loyola and thats about it. Our offense is like a V8 engine running on 4 cylinders. And our Defense has no gas in it's tank (too many two way players). At this point, we would barely compete with the best in the SGV and that may be an overstated compliment.

At this point, play all your seniors, this is their last year of football. At least let them enjoy whatever is left of their HS football career.

Wow, that was intersting comments that was made by "I was there."

Well, I have been here at Amat for years, more years than many people, I have several kids come through here all playing football.

But let me tell you this while I think that some of your points are valid. I see that some are not. You're right the "D" was on the field too long at times and the offense is not clicking as it should. But to say that the defense is ok and their pass coverage was horrible is understatement. They all played their butts off. Their linebackers without prieto playing that night did and excellent job on the run and pass. With the linebackers dropping the DB's covering, the d-line demoralizing the quarterback The defense came up with 2 or 3 picks. How is that horrible? The whole defense contributed to the sacks and the picks.

Moving mead and iglesias is not the answers. They have some work to do all over. But getting the right combinationa and putting mead and iglesias back there is not.

Im sure they are great kids, but they have to be in the right position.

It seems to me that the officiating this year has been especially atrocious. I have been to at least one game and some week’s two games, and the officiating in EVERY game has been suspect. I know that these officials are just regular Joe's like the most of us, but there has to be some kind fix for this MAJOR problem. Some of these calls are costing teams games. I know some of the blame is on the players but when you continue to be flagged for questionable calls it really takes from the game. I don't know if there is a governing body that needs to step in and take a closer look, but SOMETHING needs to be done be fore the playoffs start. I would hate for my team to lose a close game on bad officiating.

Spartan Fan. That doesn't make any sense now does it. Damien under Morrison is a passing school FIRST! Morrison has always been a passing first coach all the way back to his previous coaching job which he laid an egg on. Check it out. Inherited a Championship squad (just like he did with Pasquerella) and ran them into the ground. Completely! Set all sorts of passing records though and put a couple of receivers into Div I. So that comment sounds a little self serving don't you think. Better yet name a RB in Morrison's time that ran for more than 700 yards in in season. Don't count Ian Johnson. He was a Pasquerella stud. In the last 4 years Morrison might have 2 teams that go 2-8. Wait let me repeat myself...2-8 ! In fact Morrison has to run the table to go 5-5. At a private school that's not a sign that Morrison is very good is it? Baca at Damien last year means Mendrun changes positions and the WRs go Travis TE, Mendrun Slot, Lucero WR, Taylor in the spread, Harper and Mc Mahon in the backfield. That's probably a CIF Championship team don't you think. I hate arguing with put down artists that kow very little about what they are saying. Get some clues and talk it over with yourself. You might not like my opinion but they usually stand the test of time. As far as MM's kid, as usual...you haven't seen him wrestle or hang out at the games. He's the one with the body that God gives very few. Think Vince Diesel with hair. Coach Morrison had him and now Coach Lucero will gladly keep him. Ever wrestle? Yeah right that's a sport for wimps.

arim tollhouse toelgian ate bluorca

mean machine....if your doing absolutley nothing thursday afternoon, try to stop by damien for the jv game against DB, i'll be there hating against your crooked catholic school!!!

Ayala, Sounds like Coach M told Baca the truth and gave him solid advice as to what was the best for him as an individual. He could have lied to him and told him he would be "the man" like many coaches do, even when they know they may not fit into the scheme. Coach M cares very much about his players and students and tries to set each on the road to college. That a huge plus in my book. Other coaches don't seem to care much about the player's educations and have been known to go so far as to have special tests made up for their academically ineligible players to take to make them magically eligible for that last game of the year after they blew off a class for the entire quarter and then found out when the grades came out that they really did need that D to be able to play. Funny how that works at some schools, isn't it?

Comments below were for FANatic, not Go LA. Thanks!

Go LA,
Nice comments about Baca, the Ayala QB. Baca is starting to get the recognition he deserves. Last season he threw for over 1800 yards, 14 TD's and this season he is well over 1500 yards and 13 TD's. He is being heavily recruited by many major colleges and has already had offers from several Division 1AA schools. The victory aginst Damien was very special for him. It is my understanding that Baca attended one of the local catholic schools and was orginaly planning to attend Damien, but opted for Ayala instead. Somthing about Morrison telling him not to bother because Damien is a running school. Well, we are glad to have him and we are going to miss him next season.

MR. Go LA:

You must have been on Break at School to add your comment. So you must be a coach/teacher commenting before class begins again.

TAke it like a man! Quit your complaining about the LA comments!

For Mr. GO LA

Talk about having their head examined. You need to calm down. Take the comments like everyone else does. Everyone has a right to their own personal opinion. IF you don't like it don't read the blog anymore.

HMMMM, I MUST HAVE I STRUCK A CORD BEARING IT ALL OUT. THE ONLY THING I WILL TAKE BACK IS ADDING #84. HE HAS BEEN ON TOP SINCE LAST YEAR!

Hey Coach Gano

Nice comments in the LA times. Way to MOTIVATE your players and show respect to the entire team! Sure, you have lost some key guys, but making statements like this is just plain arrogant, regardless is you believe it or not or if its true. Learn to think before you speak and don't give us your reverse Psychology speech.

These kids are breaking their butts off for you and their team. Nice team concept coach. You’re a complete idiot and need to have your head examined.

"Without Ray and Josh it's really tough for us to stop the run," Gano said. "And without Bryce, we have no one that can create a big play. But we'll see."

How stupid do you people slamming Coach C look. Making statements without first hand knowledge. Just going off of "well I heard he...". How petty and childish. Crutchfield is playing the game of football and teaching his players to play the game of life to win. He IS making sure they are getting the grades in the classroom. He IS making sure his players can go to college WITHOUT football. You people out there tell me how many of your beloved SGV coaches, that you have put on pedestals, are doing that. Thats right. 0, none, nada. Thats why most football players from Amat, LA CO, SH etc end up at a JC. This is not hate, just the facts. Coach Crutch is trying to change that mentality at Duarte and is doing it. He wants his kids to dominate in and out of the classroom, on and off the field. Maybe everybody else should take a page from his book.

True the O-line does not throw the ball the QB does, but if your O-line does not block and dominate the line of scrimmage to give you a good running game then your pass attack becomes predictable and the Defense is sitting on you throwing the ball, hence picking him off at will. It starts in the trenches and if we cannot win tha battle there we are lost in all aspects of our offense. Secondary thanks for agreeing needs work bad. Gener too small, Johnson too small and a Sophmore. We have quick tall seniors that can fill that void. The seniors are hingry this is their last year they will throw it on the line. Coaches need to go balls out here and go with the older more mature kids to play league. We do have some very good juniors that are doing a heck of job for us and they deserve to start but some are not getting it done for us. Prieto, Seals, Teter, Price, Bowens those guys I would not replace but there are some underclassmen that I would insert a senior for right now. #45 Canales what was he doing playing defense? he was a lost soul out there. Tackling high instead of below the waist is killing us giving up extra yards to the opposing teams running backs. We are not wrapping up legs and are tackling way too high and are riding piggy back style in tackling. That needs to be corrected with Crespi and ND running backs or we will be done.

GO LA, I KNOW Gano is one hell of a coach. Sorry you don't. Ever hear former Notre Dame Coach Lou Holtz talk about his team before a big game, hell ANY game. You would think his team was made up of 3rd stringers. lol Take it with a grain of salt. Gano is ALWAYS coaching. Maybe Diamond Ranch "listened" to Gano's pregame media hype as well and underestimated LA. If you were at the game and didn't KNOW Los Altos' "BIG GUNS" were hurt would you have noticed a drop off in "effort, execution or performance"? I doubt it. Don't be a nitpicker. Gano puts out more talent EVERY year than any school in the Valley with the exception of maybe Amat.
This year the competition is between Dominque Austin and Ray Rodriquez and John Rabe as far as "best DIV I prospect". My vote is for Ray Rodriguez....too much speed, too much will and too much engine" and THAT I'm sure he learned playing in Gano's program.
Best of luck to ALL the LA players. Yes GO LA, there are many, many great players at lOA and what makes them great is their effort and production under pressure. Still believ LA is the most "composed" team I've seen in a long long time. Class of the Valley!

I don't understand why Coach Crutchfield is not liked. Is it because he wins? I went to talk to the atletic department to find out how things were before he started coaching here. We sucked most years. He comes in with discipline and a winning attitude. He is sending more kids to college than any other coach. The players grades are better than ever before. He takes the time to talk to the kids about life and how they should go to college so they can get ahead in life. I must not know whats up because I see the improvement on these kids. Then I hear it's a weak league therefore we win. That is not the coaches decision. Go Falcons, ignore the adult comments. Keep winning and improve your chances for a good education in one of our fine universities.

Go Falcons...

Anonymous at October 22, 2007 08:44 AM, & 9:02 AM,

Its obvious that neither of you read the write up in the paper on the Duarte vs. Workman game. If you had you would have read that Duarte's head coach wasn't even at the game on Friday night! The assist coaches didn't run up the score, Workman was just that bad. Again, must I remind everyone that Duarte doesn't even have a complete 2nd string team and yes the JV players (all 15 of them)did play in the 2nd half in addition to the Freshman that are old enough the play varsity. Also remember that 8 of our starters hadn't played in over 2 weeks (one bye week and then one week suspension). What did you expect the coaches to do not let them play again, after sitting out for 2 consecutive weeks? Duarte is in a very week league and our players need to stay on their toes, play hard every game for 48 minutes and be prepared for playoffs.

I DO AGREE THAT OUR PASS COVERAGE DEFENSE NEEDS HELP. WE NEED MORE SPEED AND HEIGHT IN OUR SECONDARY. AGAIN, I DO AGREE THAT WE SHOULD BE PLAYING OUR SENIORS BECAUSE THE YOUNG ONES ARENT GETTING IT DONE...LETS SEE IF ANYTHING CHANGES..
LETS GO AMAT...

Hey Coach Gano

Tommy Tartan,

Love your enthusiasm man, but to say "Better wins than anyone in the valley" will certainly ruffle some feathers of hate.

Yes, we had some very good wins and legit loses as you said. I'm a little worried about our game with Ayla as we don't matchup well. We had a tough time last year, though we managed to pull out a win. I can't put my finger on it. Bacca is a way underrated QB, I liked him last year. He just wasn't surrounded by enough great skill players. With this years Tartan team, I'm certain we will handle Ayla. It will be a very good game. Enough with future battles, lets concentrate on Chino first!!

FANatic has left the blog!

TO: I WAS THERE,

THIS IS THE FIRST GAME THAT I MISSED. I AM GOING BY HERESAY BECAUSE NUMEROUS PEOPLE(AND I MEAN NUMEROUS) TOLD ME THE OUTCOME AND THE PLAYCALLING. THEY GAVE ME ALL THE INFORMATION AND I EVEN WATCHED VIDEO. THE ALEMANY IST STRING DEFENSE PLAYED ALLTHROUGHOUT THE GAME. THEY DID NOT SWITCH IT UP WHILE IGLESIAS WAS IN. YOU ALSO CANT BLAME OUR O-LINE FOR LENHART'S 4 INTERCEPTIONS. THE LINE DOESNT THROW THE BALL, THE QB DOES. ITS IN HIS HANDS AND IF HE CANT PLAY UNDER PRESSURE THEN TAKE HIM OUT. WE ARE 2-5...DONT U THINK ITS TIME FOR A QB CHANGE? I AM NOT AGAINST THE KID(LENHART), BUT IF HE'S NOT GETTING THE JOB DONE WITH OUR OFFENSE, PUT IN IGLESIAS. WE NEED WINS ESPECIALLY WITH LEAGUE AROUND THE CORNER...

CANT BELIEVE THAT DUARTE COACH HAS NOT CHANGED A BIT. HE SHOULD LET THE OTHER PLAYERS IN ON THE GAME. SHOULD OF JUST LET THAT COACH LEAVE. THERE ARE BETTER COACHES OUT THERE AND IM SURE WOULD DO DUARTE A WORLD OF GOOD. GOOD LUCK TO THE PLAYERS

Coaches have different styles. Just appears that the DR and Duarte coach are very simular in their approach.

Did anybody notice Duarte coach running up the score with the first string after being up 35-0 in the first 3qtrs?

Duarte plays in a very weak league and could beat alot of teams with the second string, so why not let others get experience when the score is OUT OF HAND!

Poor sportsmanship on this clowns part, but then
again is Darrell.........

Prepwatcher 22,

You are right from your sources that the D was tired I agree. The Oline had no replacements come in and is being out musceled thus not giving the ground game a fair chance of attacking. The opening drive was picture perfect but when we got down in the Red zone all we came away with was a field goal. Game was tight but a #1 D. Johnson crucial punt return fumble with the score 10-3 in the 3rd quarter killed us. As far as Iglesias and him leading us to a touchdown and you lobbying for his chance it will not happen. First off Lenhart is the QB and Iglesias was in the game at the time Alameny put in their reserve unit so that is not a fair assessment as to his abilities. Bowens was a Monster that nite and was blitzing and tearing into their QB. Our offence is sputtering due to the line not the QB. Our offense is sputtering due to lack of the correct play calling or just lack of plays and ingenuity. Defense is fine but our pass coverage is horrible. We definitley need a new bag of tricks with our plays on offense and I would move Senior, WR #29 Frank Lopez into the defensive secondary as well as let him handle kick off and punt returns. We need to really start using our seniors in upcoming league play because our youngsters are just that, too young. Senior, Iglesias at a corner on Defense is not a bad move also. Senior,Mead at a free safety is a good move as well. I also would move out #77 Jara out of the o-line (he is lousy and lost) and insert Senior #59 Pacheco. Julian Silva cannot catch the football and is only a blocking TE, on Passing downs I would have #88 Tierney in the game he has the better hands of the two and this would give Silva some rest so he can come on strong on the D side of the ball. Unless we dont scramble it up and make changes we will see more of the same beat downs. Why not adjust and change now the team cant get any worse. 22 next time go to the game and not go by hearsay. This team can win if the coaches make some combination changes. So. Hills did it and they are on a roll.

Here is the article from the L A times Prep Sporst regarding #5 Bryce McBride's Injury from the Diamond Ranch Game.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/varsitytimesinsider/2007/10/los-altos-suffe.html#more

It is sad to see that Coach Gano hasnt praised any of the Other "MAIN players" who played Thursday night and made a difference without his "beloved #5, #84 or #65". (Just in case, you havent noticed - These 3 are all Captains. Hopefully no one else gets hurt).

I was at the game and want to give my Kudos to:
Nick Longoria #79, Jeff Martinez #25, Marc Felix #35 and Tony Seanez #1. These four guys played their hearts out against Diamond Ranch. Coach Gano hasn't even recognized them in any of the interviews from the Diamond Ranch game.

I believe all these injuries are due to bad Karma. Coach Gano made some bad changes at the beginning of the season and I believe this the outcome of it. Once you chose your four C's, You never should have changed them. Coach Gano and Howing Need to stay out of the personal issues between parents on the sidelines. Now look what has happened.

Tommy Tartan, this is an SGVN blog record, we've never had more than 500 comments for any thread.

the latimes has on its blog that mcbride is going to miss the remainder of the season with a broken tibia, is that true? that guy has been great to watch, i would hate for his high school career to end that way. fred, say it ain't so?

I would like to make a MISSING TEAM REPORT . Where are the RHS Panthers of weeks 2-5. The team that was SLOWLY earning a little RESPECT for themselves . It's NOT to late Panthers . GO EARN SOME RESPECT the next three weeks .Glendora Tartans still three weeks left..."LEAVE NO DOUBT ...BE THE BEST !!!"

FIGHT ON

Just finished talking with "yet" another Damien Dad that took the time to ask me if I'm one of the bloggers that is slamming Morrison. Let me put spell it out for everyone.

I DON'T HAVE A DOG IN THIS FIGHT!

My son wrestles, loves it, loves his coach and in fact is glad he doesn't play football anymore. At 184 lbs of chisled quick muscle and the heart of a lion, not playing football is a choice, HIS! Not because of the BS he's experienced but because he knows his effort is appreciated and he loves his teammates and they respect him. Maybe even enough to be a Varsity Captain. As a father that's all you can ask. Be fair. Know where you stand and compete to the best of your ability.

I spent most of Friday night talking and encouraging players whose Dad's probably would run me over with a car if no one was around to see. Most of these Dads I haven't spoken to in 2 years. Most of them don't even acknowledge my presence even in the company of my son. Pretty crappy if you ask me. To a player, I told them they would improve, made suggestions by position and told them ALL they were "REAL CLOSE" to being very good. I think every player I talked to was surprised I was even taking the time but it's always been about the kids. That will never change. Maybe those Dad's will return the favor someday and congratulate my son on his wrestling success. By the way he won 2 tournaments over the summer. Not bad for a kid that couldn't see the football field in 2 years and just started wrestling a few months before. Most of the wrestlers at summer tournaments are lifers by the way. But hey that was yesterday and today is a new day.

As far as that cancer. Cancer does not just happen. Non smokers don't get lung cancer unless someone around them smokes. Cause and affect. I wish parents would be honest and see what the really problems are with Damien's football program. Last year the best WR in Damien history got most of his "speed" outside of Damien. Got most of his "advice/encouragement" outside of Damien. That's a fact. Mendrun was special no doubt but that WR "blew up" his senior year. Did that training take place at Damien? That's for him and his Dad to answer.

So to all the "it must be HIM again" not to worry. I love football too much. Instead why isn't anyone from Damien talking about the performances of LB Simmons, DT Salter and DE Reyes. They deserve more mention than they receive but at Damien it's always cheer like an idiot or you're a complainer. And that goes hand in hand with a player/kid's playing time. And you know who you are.

I couldn't help but mention a certain blog I left last year that caused so much ruckus. Something about JV players not being prepared for Varsity level play due to poor lower level coaching. Well the JV players for the most part have proved my point, unfortunately. All heart but no fundamentals or real knowledge of the game. See the on side kick fiasco on Friday...mostly juniors on the field. How about the second part of that blog where I suggested Mc Mahon should play RB full time. What was the answer at the time 9other than "YOU"RE AN IDIOT!!!...Mac Mahon fumbled to much, tried and failed at RB his JV year? Well if Mc Mahon played RB with Saenz full time this year isn't Damien undefeated this year? WHAT AN INCREDIBLE TALENT MCMAHON IS! But hey...what do I know? I know talent and I know over arated and that's all I say. Again film don't lie.

Best of luck to Morrison. Nice family. I hate when anyone is in danger of losing his job but "every coach makes his own bed" ...something about the company you keep.

Am I lying?

I went to Diamond Bar HS today to watch my grandson’s Pop Warner game and saw coach Layton from Diamond Ranch. This is the second time I have seen him at Diamond Bar watching the games. I have read and heard many things about this young man, and have gone to two Diamond Ranch games this year. I thought it was a bold move to show up to a Pop Warner game the weekend after he was removed from his own game. Yet Layton walked with confidence and swoon people in the crowd. This is not the first time I have seen this from Layton. The first time I saw him in person was at a Pop Warner game after Diamond Ranch beat a highly rated Chino Hills team. Layton walked up and down the crowd shaking hands and taking pictures with players, parents, and coaches. He was a little celebrity that captivated the Pop Warner crowd. This weekend I thought it would be different. I was shocked to seem him and even felt a little anger as I watched him sit quietly watching the boys play. He didn’t walk the crowds this time but instead sat back and watched letting the crowd come to him. He spoke briefly with each person and smiled as he won people over. As I felt my blood boil to watch this young man shake hands all the way to the snack bar I felt the urge to give him my piece of mind. When I got to the top of the stadium he was already engaged in a conversation about this weekend’s game and his team. As I eavesdropped on his conversation I wanted to hear what he had to say. He never excused himself for what he did, didn’t bad mouth the officials, and didn’t talk negatively about Los Altos. Instead he talked about his players and “vision” of Diamond Ranch Football. Intrigued, I interrupted his conversation and asked directly why he was ejected from the game and if he was wrong. Layton looked me directly in the eyes and cast a spell. My grandson’s game ended twelve hours ago and I find myself still thinking about what I have heard, what I have seen and the way he talked to me. I have heard Coach Wooden talk about his Pyramid of Success, Coach McKay, John Robinson, Tommy Lasorda, and Muhammad Ali all speak. Each had a vision and a belief in what they were doing. More importantly they were able to convince other people to share that vision and belief. Fred Robledo defended Layton before the game, the reporter of the LA Times talked about wanting to put the helmet back on and play football again after talking to Layton. Like me, they were all spellbound in Layton’s ability talk. Layton never admits to getting tossed on purpose and never admits he lost his cool. Instead the coach gives you tidbits from his pregame speech, his halftime speech and a little background of what was happening on his sideline. The story Layton tells is of him telling his players each team can win one game a year on emotions. He also said his team was having some internal quarrels during the third quarter. Fifteen minutes of a story out of a fairytale and Layton is walking away with me standing there feeling like I just witnessed a magic show. I was so captivated by his story I missed the last few minutes of the game, so intrigued I wanted to follow him. Players from his team talk about him as if he is already a legend, parents are already telling their children that he will be their coach and people flock to him as if he was a Beatle. He has cast a spell on all of us. I was at the Los Altos game and I know what I saw. I saw an overrated team get out played, and out coached win a game. Was Layton out of control when he was ejected? Did he understand the rule he was questioning? Did he purposely get him self removed to inspire play? Is he that smart? Why did his coach say in the paper Layton knew what he was doing? Did the other coaches know what Layton was doing? I have rethought these questions all day. Layton had a head set on the whole game. Could he have sent the message upstairs on what he was going to do? And again is he that smart? Where was the headset when Layton threw his hat? How come it was already off? Had he already sent the message? Layton pulled his team into a huge huddle told them something (he would not share with me) and never said a word to his coaches. Don’t you think he would have handed the headset over to one of his coaches and told them to take over? Am I still under his spell? Did he put the refs under a spell? A holding call prevents Los Altos from winning the game? I was on my way out to beat the traffic when Sermons caught the final touchdown. I stopped to see what had happened when I saw Layton running outside the Stadium screaming and raising his index finger high in the sky. Is Layton a genius? Or just Crazy?! Either way people will follow. In the past I have told my daughter I would help pay to send my grandson to a private school when he is high school aged. Today our conversation was about Diamond Ranch Football. I now know why Diamond Ranch has beaten Los Altos two years in a row. It might not be X’s and O’ drawn up on a chalk board, but XOXO’s from admiring players. Diamond Ranch won the game because they love their coach. Or does he have them under a spell too?

PS don’t talk to Layton or you to will find yourself questioning who is this guy? And why do I want to play football fro him?

Papa Joe

Wow! This thread is blowin up. 500 + posts? Is that some kind of record Fred? Been busy, but I too enjoyed a great game Friday night at Chino Hills. Nice new field and great support on your homecomming Huskies. Sorry to spoil it, but you guys can still make some noise in CIF (and the title's not decided if we don't take care of our business). Hope Harris heals up quick. Yes we missed a couple key guys before and during game as well, but losing Harris could have had an impact. I'll say this though, your other playmakers stepped up well. That other back (forget the number, 32?...returned the kickoff) has some wheels! And Harkey is a beast. A great team covers a loss by having "the next guy" step up prepared and he performs. You are that kind of team as I believe we are. I really don't think we have "that guy" that we lose and we can't fill the gap. Huge win Tartan's...you can do what Glendora hasn't done in about 15 years. Hey Fred, doesn't the GOTW have video with it? I didn't find a link for it? I kind of agree with FanMan...it didn't really feel like it was the GOTW. No disrespect, I understand the issues but it might have been better to wait and spotlight us when you can really do it right. It was a great game though, for that reason you picked right.

As for the GHS season so far, I feel like pausing for a brief, but intense sigh of relief. Looking at our schedule at the beginning of the season it was clear that weeks 2-7 were going to be one hellava 6 week stretch. I now know that (in spite of some others disrespect of some of these teams) this was an even tougher stretch than it looked as West Ranch & El Dorodo were better than I expected. Going 4-2 against these teams is...well, a huge accomplishment for our team. Better wins than anyone in the valley, and the loses legit. I know that the CO loss is one we maybe should have had (CalPreps shows it as a "bad loss") given our overall season, but good teams like that beat you on some nights. I'm sure they feel they had an off night against Damien. But we now stand at the end of that stretch with 3 hungry league opponents waiting to knock us off. Time to finish this thing and achieve your first goal boys. BTW, get healthy Horn, Beckwith & Marteney (and any others I missed)

I would still like to know how much los altos paid for those refs.. and lmao glendora over diamond ranch thats a joke they beat chino hills big whoopi doo doesnt make them better after getting sloppy seconds from Dr's victory.=)

Joe Amat:

what ever happened to Blu Orca & MATY ???

Anon...Yes, you did answer my question and I meant a sincere Thank You. You know your stuff and obviously a stat person with a good memory too! I'm not arguing with you, nor anyone else. Here I am on the blog 'cause only bad stuff on tv right now.

To everyone else out there, This sure would be a boring blog if we all agreed and had the same points of view. As others do, I am expressing my opinion on matters. I calls them as I sees them and respect other peoples points of view. Lets all play nice. Gonna sign off and say,Good Night.

benchwarmer,

you asked what damien's done in the last six years and i just told you.

has morrison been the coach for the past six seasons?

"damien has won league in 02, 03, and 06. three league titles in six years."

Thank you Anon!...and the current coaching staff won how many of these? (Answer: They went dry aince taking over until last year. While I hope, it doesn't look goog for a consecutive league title this year).

Just for fun. I know were talking football here but I will give you bonus points: In that same time span, how many consecutive League and CIF Titles has Damien's Water Polo Team won? And Damien's Soccer Team?

I KNOW YOU DUDE SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN,,,,

Benchwarmer,

You are right about a letter being misplaced for Ian Johnson from Boise, what you have wrong is that letter was "misplaced" by Pasquerella. Coach Morrison was the one that found that letter and gave it it Ian Johnson after he found it.

As we all know though, letters dont mean anything, Its when a coach is calling the player that they are really interested, ask Ryan McMahon or John Rabe. Morrison was very helpful in getting Ian Johnson to Boise.

The real problem is that to many parents think that their kid should get a d-1 scholorship and when they dont the first thing they want to do is blame the coach.

Off the point of the arguments going on in this blog but did anybody happen to catch the gabby south el monte game OMG the last time i seen that many flags was at the OLYMPICS everytime south had the ball flags were goin off left n right thats took away like 4 cogburns touchdowns

Diamond Ranch looks to be over rated. They should have beat the pants off of Los Altos. And to see them all celebrating at the end of the game. Luck was on their side. CO will show them who the real league champs are. We will see a rematch of CO and El Dorado at the championship game.

The Diamond Ranch vs Los Altos game on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7rEQoSjRr0

Diamond Ranch does not look as good as they are advertised. They should have blown Los Altos away. And then to see them after the game jumping for joy after their win. CO will win league and we might just see a CIF rematch with El Dorado.

how did the tartans o-line and d-line do?

Spartan Fan, you wrote: "I find it pitiful that anyone would imply that any of these coaches would intentionlly try to ruin a kids chance of playing for a D1 program. There are not a whole lot of kids from the Sierra League that are actually PLAYING for a D1 football program anyway. And having a kid go to a D1 program is a boost to the coach's resume."

Ask Ian Johnson and his parents how he got to Boise State and the "letter" that was "misplaced". Don't be afraid to ask questions while you conduct your investigation.

To AHS: I do give credit to your team! Never tried to take anything away from these boys. They did what they had to do at the end. I will not take that away from them...or you. They should be very proud. Did they think of this onside kick scheme on their own? If they did WOW, I am really impressed! or did their coach come up with this play and direct his team how to execute? Your coach even said he was hoping that Damien won't pick up the kicker (read the SGV Tribune). The Bulldogs executed their coaches plan very well. Now from where I was sitting, all the D fans around me were shouting to "watch the kicker" and "move over". Even my friend who doesn't know a thing about football noticed that something didn't seem "right". Is it wrong of me to expect the D-coaching staff to see what we saw and adjust accordingly. Thats why they have PLAYERS and COACHES on every sport team. It takes planning and foresight to call plays (coaches job) and execution (players job). If a player doesn't do his "job" is he not taken out of the game and replaced with a player who "can". Hummmm, do you watch football at the college level at all. What happens to a coach who can't find a way to improve his team? Check out Damien's record the past six years - then comment back to tell me why I and many other Spartan supporters are "wrong".

Damien football program has a cancer problem..
The parents of some players were quoted as saying
"the boys don't want to play for Morrison". My reply to them is...TURN IN YOUR JERSEY!!! Let the kids who want to play get out there and hit someone. This was a shock to hear. Needless to say, it came from parents that have kids that play all the time. The captains need to clean out the lockers on monday of the cancer kids and I'm sure they know who they are. They should kick them out of the locker room and play tuff the last 3 weeks of the season.
Parents be proud of your kids!!! They played a great game!!!! Be Proud of them or leave.
The parents showed no class by jumping all over Morrison after the game friday night, you guys just suck.....
You should have ask the coach for a sit down talk over the weekend and discussed the situation like adults; NOT HIGH SCHOOL KIDS. ...It's easy to sit up in the stands and watch somebody play football, but you must be a better coach then the guys on the field or up in the box.I was very disappointed about the game myself..I didn't run over to the coach and jump all over him. I went down to the lockers and as each player came out to see their family or friends I told them what a great game they played tonight, and let's come back next week and play tuffer. Keep your heads up high this week and finish strong..Record 5-5 overall and 3-2 in league still get you into the playoffs.."

Last thing parents... There is no "I" in the word team...Walter Payton. Encourage other parents to be positive, be a unit and it will roll down to the kids. THE KIDS PLAYED GREAT, AND THEY HAVE SUPPORT FROM THE PIT, ALUMNI, FANS, AND 1 OF 300. Get with it moms and dads...Spartans # 1

OK enough you guys!

Original Football Jesus it was good the first time. But then you let some "dope" get into your head and now your looking like a fool and acting like the one who is posing.Take my advice you made your point, now get that poser out of your head. I'm sure numbers 1-3 would agree with me right, Joe Amat, Fred and FANatic.

Just a little friendly advice. Now whether you take that advice or not that's up to you.

Football Jesus please dont going making stupid remarks about disabilities.I realize your probably a little immature to realize what you just did. Unless you can walk in ones shoes that deal with disablities daily I keep your mouth shut. I resent your retard comment. that my friend was not funny.

Hey SGVFBFAN,
I dont understand your comments about the Damien coaching staff, you dont make any sense.

You said that last years team won only because of the great players they had not the coaches. So are you saying that if you have great players you will win?? and coaching dont matter??

Are you also then saying that the players on
Damiens team this year are not that good sense
they can not win it on their own like last years team?? I dont undersatnd.

told gano to be carefull, the way its going a coach might be next injury from pile coming at them.
guess what he said to me??

ScottyFitz1 and Skrid are paternal twins

Spartan Fan

You are correct but, Coach Morrison was the one who called the kids number that has fumbled the ball three or four times this year. If you follow the game you would know that.

My sentiments exactly!Football Jesus for a guy who claims something you sure blow a whole lot of nothing another words you suck!

Football Jesus take your endearing stuck up self to the star news blog. Talk about a guy who post nothing about nothing. Take your own advice idiot this is what not to post like.

when you post as anonymous you shouldn't even be taken serious.
And the Jesus tab is a term of endearment to who I answer to, so don't even get involved there idiot.

Football Jesus has spoken. (Man, I am starting to sound like MTC, thanks to you guys!)

Drinks Burgie beer, smokes non-filter cigs, and lives in El Monte and is very knowledgeable about nada, nuka, zippo, NOTHING.

what are football jesus's credentials other that he thinks he's jesus and even then jesus would not be calling people idiots. can anyone find a post of his anywhere

FANatic
that was not funny.
It's going to hurt your rankings. The only one that will stick by the way is SKFA.

you post as 'anonymous' so, so much for your post be relavant.

How would it look if rankings were like this:

1. Charter Oak Chargers
2. South Hills Huskies
3. San Gabriel Valley Tribune Newspapers
4. Glendora Tartans
5. Diamond Ranch Panthers
6. Duarte Falcons
7. Los Altos Conquerors
8. Baldwin Park Braves
9. Northview Vikings
10.Bishop Amat Lancers

the Tribune doesn't rank themselves why should Football Jesus? idiot!

FANatic you crack me up! Funny stuff.

I MEANT LAST COMMENT NOT LEAST...

TROJAN MAN,

YOUR LEAST COMMENT WAS FOR PREPSPORTS NOT TOWARDS ME...READ THE BLOG CAREFULLY MY FRIEND SO THAT YOU DONT INCLUDE MY NAME IN YOUR COMMENTS. I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH YOU POSTING WHATEVER YOUD LIKE. THANKS...JUST WANTED TO CLEAR THAT UP.

FANatic is on the Blog!

Mikey will remember this. Due to all of the concern regarding bad langauge used on this blog, I would like to present for consideration the following acronyms. Please feel free to add to this list:

SLSMTCWS: Sounds Like Something Mike The Clone Would Say

WTPTFC: Would That Pass The FANatic Challenge

IDWOYC: Insert Dirty Word Of Your Choice

TTSDWIS: Time To Shut Down Wife Is Watching

CB: College Bound

LTGHS: Lucky To Graduate High School

GA: Great Athlete

NAGA: Not A Good Athlete

DAAR: Dumb As A Rock

SAKF: Stop A** Kising Fred

FANatic has left the Blog!

Football Jesus- easy to detect that several of your top list of bloggers happen to be Amat supporters and complainers. Jesus would be ashamed of you disgruntled Lancers.

Football Jesus - I am honored to be in the top 5. Maybe I will have to post more often to see if I can move up.

I'm starting to love the SGV.

Will someone tell football jesus that mike the clone and aram tolegian are the same person

Sorry Coach.....I'll start working harder.

Mike the Clone

Everyone noticed that Football Jesus was not even his own list so much for the list being relevant

Mike the Clone,
I am disappointed in your ranking. You will sit out the next few games.
Pasqy

Football Jesus - - -

you must add rosevelt (sp) to the list. somewhere around 50!

Football Jesus.....

I see I have some work to do.(laughing)

FRED, CLEAN IT UP, MIKE at October

Thank you for making this an important issue.

We all need to try (not easy) to make this a respectful blog for HS sports.

One thing to remember, this isn't the next level yet and we are dealing with 14-18 year old HS kids. I believe most parents have a good handle on the negativity that faces us all in life and it is our responsibility to bring certain things to your attention Fred. I will honor your wishes and do that like some have this weekend.

This old dog learned some new tricks this morning! How many of us have said something in our lives that we wish we could take back? To our kids, spouses, coaches, or people we don’t even know… like this blog?

This weekend, the race remarks, coach’s attacks, player attacks, school attacks, just went too far. Sure its part of life, but doesn’t make it right.. Whether you believe in the power of the word or not, I leave you with some thoughts to consider:

1.Read the book of James – all of which highlight the power of the tongue.
2.Memory Verse James 3:2 - “For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a PERFECT MAN, able to bridle the whole body as well”

Enjoy your Sunday everyone and keep the faith and god bless America!

TOP 5 !!! I love it , wait till week 14 , I'll be # 1 by then !!!

CAL SUCKS !!! One HIT WONDER !!!

Prepwatcher , I AM WELL AWARE THIS IS A HS BLOG , I just thought I would drop a few USC Trojan plugs .HOW DO YOU KNOW WE NEVER PLAYED BALL IN COLLEGE ? DID YOU ?

FIGHT ON

Anyone have an update on McBride or Gilmore? I've just heard rumors.

That's 8 out of 21 rgd2626.
Pretty good.
I know you bring it and don't waste our time like alot of others (see 16-21 especially).
That is not bad.
I am sure you will overtake Aram in a matter of days. What do you think about the list? Sorry schedule is not a factor.

o, come on #8, but i talked blogged the hardest schedule,besides, its not the mid season rankings that counts, its the final one,
pretty funny though jesus god from bishop

I have been reading the blog now since it's inception over a year ago. Here is how you all rank in my eyes from most knowledgeable to just plain awkward stupid I have no idea what I am talking about posts. And no this is not to be taken personaly, I like all of you, it's just when it comes to football the intelligent really stand out from the unintelligent. It all comes down to the contribution - those that actually have entered some important information that doesn't have us wasting our time - you are rated higher.
So without further hesitation here it is - from smartest to plain ignorant.

Boys, took the wife out to dinner last night, just got through working out with both sons and now watching some football. Tomorrow got to go to work and earn part of that 150k. Its a tough life, but............wheres FANatic at rehab today?

Trojan Man and Cal Alum--this is a high school prep web site, so why don't you both swoop-out phone numbers and carry on your boring exchange of college football (which you never played).

ooooooooooo! You guys beat one of the worst teams in the nation! They only beat UCLA because they handed them the game on a silver platter. You lost to #7 and have only beaten the #8, 9 & 10 teams in the Conference. Let's talk again on Nov 11th.

And today was a SHUTOUT !!!

Posted by: Trojan MAN at October 20, 2007 11:50 PM

SGVFBFAN - it's ALWAYS the players that win and the coach that loses. I didn't see Morrison out there in pads fumble that ball.

Another reminder to keep the language clean. I Had to erase a few comments, and to those complaining, keep in mind I'm not here 24-7. There are going to be long stretches (while I try to have a life) where I'm doing something else and unfortunately some things will get through. Also, don't take anything said in here personal. I know it can be rough at times when bloggers talk negatively about your favorite coach or player, but none of this means anything. It's a bunch of jibberish. Even the racist comments, that's just ignorant people, don't give it a second of thought, skip to the next one. Last thing, if there are comments that you think need to be removed, just post a comment to my attention, and give me the exact time and date of the comment, so I can so straight to it. It's hard surfing through 400 comments, so make it easy for me to find.

Glad to hear about Jacob Crook he is a really a neat young man. I hope he get his chance. Go Tartans!

Ralph W., AmatAlum, Amat Alum2, Lancer 2 DN, Columbo Chalk Talk Tue, Chalklumbo, Warrior Lancer, et al....

I try not to come home from the game and post. Too emotional to be rational. Sometimes even give it a Saturday to stew. But today...on Sunday AM.....

What...was...that?!?!

What's our excuse....eeeerrrr....company line , this week?

I said what I thought last week. uuuummmm...DITTO

Read it here...nothings changed.
http://www.insidesocal.com/tribpreps/2007/10/thursday_night.html

Remember St Paul...fools gold!

Frustrating, disappointing...painful. As was last year. I stuck up for the staff during the off-season. I was hoping for some progress. Instead, I see regression.

MATTY, blu, 73, OBBAG, others....overreacting? Thoughts? Help!!

Boys, play hard and give your best effort. Just worry about the next play. Keep your head up and help each other. That's all you can do. You're all you've got.

I'm sure MTC is used to the names he is called and he has always handle it well but that still does not make it right for him or anyone else to have such things posted about them.

hey Ex coach,

why arn't you here a** kissing fred like you did all day saturday? you must be one of three things or more.

1) wife hates you
2) kid(s) hate you
3) unemployed

which is it?

Hey Korpse if you think a true freshman is going to come in a right away a take over a West Coast offense your out of your mind and shows just how little you know about the offense or anything else about UCLA football.
True freshman + WC Offense = Failure any coach will tell you this

Korpse Dorrell just goes to show you just how much you know they said that Booty would never see the snap either..DDDDDOOOOOOHHHHH Whats with these know it alls

Comment to GHS fans

A lot has been blogged about the Tribune and their weekly top ten-list. Those that know HS football realize that the Tribune's list means absolutely nothing...other then the regular chest pounding that occurs for that particular week.

What truly matters is the one list which the Tribune and their gum-shoe reporters have no control over....and that is the list where each of us finish in our own league.

Achieving a ranking in each of our respective leagues is what we compete for each week. So, don't get lost in the paper ratings or ranking conjured by rag-writers.

Guaranteed...you finish league play at the top...and every local newspaper will want to write about it....naturally, if they want to sell papers and keep customers.

PLAID LAD

Comments on Morrison and Co.

The SL Championship that Damien won last year was all on the Players not the coaching. The play calling as well as the D sets were horrible. Always the same. No imagination and poor preperation. They have their team convinced that they are prepared but, The coaches are not prepared themselves. Take a look at the use of the clock against Ayala. This game could of been won on clock management alone. That last drive when still up by 20 pts could have taken at least another 60 seconds. Not knowing how to set up for a onside kick lost this game for them. Going for two being up 13 to 7 lost the game for them. Not ajusting on Def. lost the game for them. Calling a time out to let Ayala set up more plays on the last drive when they were out of time outs lost the game for them. This team because of the Off and Def sets is the easiest team in the valley for opposing coaches to set up a game plan on because they never adjust and that my friends is coaching not your athletes. Take a look at last years CIF game at TC They ran the ball up the middle 8 out of 10 plays and still the Def cord. made no adjustments that is a failed attempt to give your team a chance to win. I am not a parent at this school. My son has been out a few years ago. I love this school and the people that are there but the Coaching staff is one of the weakest in the valley. Last years SLC team had 3 or 4 players that should have been playing div 1 football but after college coaches take a look at style of play at Damien they shy away from them. This year there are 3 or 4 of the same. Morrison is a dictator on the field and could care less if his players move on. He says they are individuals when they ask for films to send them to scouts. Morrison and Co. It's time to look in the mirror at yourself and do the right thing. If any of you doubters Know anything about football you would not be backing these coaches. I am not doubting them as people just coaches. Let's see what happens.

Good luck the rest of the way Spartans. I will support you regaurdless of your poor coaching.

FRED REBLEDO

Mike, you are correct in your thoughts. I guess we should just call the tribune executives and start to voice our opinions about some of these posts that are being allowed.

Just unacceptable behavior from a group of jealous parents or little children. There will always be those people that try to bring down successful players, coaches, or teams. Just so happens this kid is a stud and someone will always have something negative to say!

Just consider the source.

Fred, you need to step up and fix it! Making racists remarks, calling names about coaches, character attacks on kids, talking about one parts is just a lack of bad management on the Tribune part.

mike the clone has a small weenie and thats why he is always on here with his big mouth just like the little guys that drive big trucks that aren't hung like the big guys. mike the clones big truck is his big mouth and he has a small pecker. its called pathetic compensation.
Posted by: COBro's Mom at October 20, 2007 06:02 PM

The above post is just another example of what some of us are talking about. Is this ridiculous and tasteless or what?

Anyone should be able to voice their opinions, but in a constructive matter.

Thought Glendora-Chino Hills game lived up to the buildup. Solid game between two good teams. Harris (and other starters) getting hurt was significant, but Huskies still battled. The difference in the game was clearly the Tartan offensive line. Very physical. Reminded me of Norco line last year.

Just a reminder. The Huskies were leading Norco at halftime of their CIF game last year and was an onsides kick away from stealing that game from the team that became the Inland Division champion. I think that makes Glendora's win even more solid. Hope we see the Tartans in the playoffs with a healthy Harris and Pugh.

Why did/do people like Aram so much?

I always thought he tried to stir the pot too much and loved the reaction he got from people, I think it fed his ego.

I like Fred's style bettter, but to each his/her own.

NONE BETTER THAN THIS ...

Posted by: Anonymous at October 20, 2007 09:44 PM,

at least someone knows this isn't the same Mtn View from past years...

the game was closer than the score says, mostly at the beginning..

what a play in the the vikings first play/possession of the game...welcoming Ruben Nevarez to the league, with a big pass for a HUGE gain...

late season flop?excuse me trojan fan but the only "late season" flop i saw last year was the trojans who were locked in at the BCS title game until....oh well i know you remember...

there are a ton of guys from the sgv that are still in college playing especially out in the pac-10...let's not forget that i mean quite a few come to mind already...the afformentioned like harris/perez/harwell/lockett/etc. as well as crook who i didn't know...then theres guys like that te from co a few years ago at asu right now as well as the twins from sh at like washingotn and oregon st or something..then, you have a bunch of others as well as ian johnson over at boise st.

you may not notice it but there is quite a bit of sgv flavor in the pac-10 and college football still.

Benchwarmer,
I don't know why I care, but I will comment on your coach bashing of Morrison & Staff.
YOU WERE 1 YARD FROM CALLING HIM A SAVIOR YOU IDIOT. Their game plan was superb, but kids play the game and being kids they are not perfect. Fumbling at the one yard line cost the team the game. Ayala would have been done. That drive pror to the fumble was brilliant. Your coaches knew they were over matched by superior numbers of skill players and could not stop Ayala's potent pass offense, so they tried to eat as much time as they could off the clock. I think they held the ball for more than eight minutes on that drive prior to the fumble. A TD would have cemented the victory.
I won't make specific comments about the players you mentioned, but I will say that some of them look to be over rated in your mind.
Give your coaches a break, and give Ayala's players some credit in this too, they manned up when their backs were against a wall and took that win.
What you should be doing is supporting your coaches, because Damien is good enough to win three in a row and do something special in the playoffs.

Last year the Tartan defense actually held Harris in check for the most part of the game.Lets not forget the score in that one was 21-10 but really the turning point was the end of the half.

After connecting on a field goal to go up 10-7 with 7 seconds left, the Tartans kicked off to the Huskies having taken all the momentum into half or so they thought....the Huskies returned it all the way for the TD to end the half with a backbreaking KO return.

Then late in the game, the Tartans went for it all trying to force a fumble rather than making a tackle out of desperation and Harris took it about 70 yards for a td to seal the game with about a minute or less left...For the msot part though they had held Harris in check to about 80 yards or so on the night till that backbreaker at the end.The play was more of a desperation fluke than a real showing of what went on...Harris really was held in check basically all night.Not saying he didn't play well because he had but the stats are misleading from that game.

Ended up 21-10, the defense essentially held them to only 7 points though all night it was just the offense for Glendora that couldn't put it in the endzone though Edmond had a solid game but really was held in check for the most part.Crook, I remember had a good night, his best of the season to that point, I'd say but the Tarts couldn't find paydirt most of the night.

It was a very well played and well coached game.Hats off to both teams that night.

It is Saturday evening, last night I had the opportunity to watch a football game from the field level. As an observer from the Arroyo side, I watched as Mt. View withstood a storm, intercept a pass from what the experts have been saying is the best QB in the S.G.V. march down field and score on mighty Arroyo Knights. Nobody expected that to happen, and did expect what ultimately happened at the end of the game, with a final score of 37-12. What is interesting is that the View turned the ball over 5 times at very key parts of the game and as the writers of this paper/website stated the View out gained the Knights in total yards. Arroyo turned the ball over twice. Once at the beginning at the View 23 yard line and once near mid-field. However each turn over for the View was a 6-7 point turn around. Which could have been a final score of MT. View 30 - Arroyo 19. Arroyo is not as good as the writers think and Partida is legit. Good luck to him in the future. Arroyo and their coaching staff have their player play hard and it shows. If they get a chance and are up on a lesser opponent they still throw the ball. Hey! “Alls fair in love and war”. But what I saw was a bit embarrassing, with the score 37-12, 3:00 minuets left, right after the Vikes scored, they attempted an onside kick. When Mt. View started to shift to an onside formation the Arroyo coach started to yell at Mt. View and called a timeout. Not to adjust for the onside kick, but yelling he did not want any of his players hurt! Is it OK to onside kick when behind, after you score with 3 minuets to go? BOO HOO! To me that’s part of the game. DON’T WHINE COACH. You have done things to run the score up at times so your players can pad their stats.

I saw that Gabrielino gave South El Monte a scare. I know from a friend that the View turned the ball over 5 or 6 times against Gabby. They are –8 in turnovers in Mission Valley League play. They were dominating Workman when the light bill was not paid, 13-0 had the ball on the Lobo’s 28-yard line with 4-5 minuets to go in the half no turnovers. That could have been a route. The View loss to Bell-Jeff, was another-6 turnovers, the Guards are 6-1 this year. In the wins that the Vikes had they were + 12 in turnovers. What is this all about? Read the writing on the wall, In Mission Valley League play, regardless of records, any one of these teams can beat the others. With even turnovers, right El Monte, Great job!

Depends on what Jacob goes in as. If he went to Citrus as stated previously and is redshirting this year at UCLA he would probably be a redshirt sophomore with two years of eligibility.

It's complicated but that's the way it is in the NCAA.

Late!

Mike the Clone

I would love to read the article! Is he redshirting for medical reasons?

Brandon Bennet 6,6 330 from Amat class of 06 is also at UCLA

huskie hater:

was anyone impressed with shhs win... caues i wasnt... they tried to run up the score and couldnt... good job walnut

Crook is a walk-on at UCLA. He hasn't played yet, but hopefully with all of the injuries to the QB spot he'll get a nod.

How many years of eligibility would he have since he graduated in '05? Not sure how that works.

I read that Jacob is red shirting this year but is on the sideline wearing #17 jersey which would make sense why he was not in full pads.

Yes, Crook is listed in the program. There are 2 kids listed from the local schools. Both #17 Jacob Crook GHS & Aaron Perez from CO. Crook was not dressed today, but Perez is a holder and punter.

Fred how did you missed that local story on Crook,your a Bruin fan arent you. Thats pretty cool that a local is playing for one of our Pac 10 local schools.

Oh, how quickly they forget! Last year we won a Sierra League Championship, but I guess it's always about what have you done for me lately?

I find it pitiful that anyone would imply that any of these coaches would intentionlly try to ruin a kids chance of playing for a D1 program. There are not a whole lot of kids from the Sierra League that are actually PLAYING for a D1 football program anyway. And having a kid go to a D1 program is a boost to the coach's resume.

And CO bro, what exactly is an "ex-alumni"? Is that like being excommunicated? I realize Damien is a Catholic school, but come on!

Try supporting your teams & coaches instead of always trying to tear them down!

Aram your at FOX now anything else on Jacob

skrid,

Yes, Harris ran all over LAST years Tartan defense. I think this year would have been a different story. Also remember Horn and Marteney did not play last night due to injuries. Would the Tartens have won by a greater score had these boys played?

Great win Tartans!

Jacob Crook sure is in my program! Wearing #17 WOW! pretty cool Jacob. I beleive he original signed to UNLV but coaching change took the schorlarship back and sign at New Hampshire but decided against it to stay home and work out went to Citrus also I beleive that commitment list linked here is outdated but sure is nice to see him in those videos. he was pretty damn good and could bring it

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=jacob+crook%2C+ucla+football

Glendora fan,

Serious question, I was not at the game but I understand last year that their horse ran all over you according to coach P.

If he did not get hurt would the outcome had been the same. None of this matters now because you have and always will have scoreboard. Good game by the way.

Are you serious about Jacob Crook on the roster?If so thats frekaing AWESOME!!Can't find him on the team roster though...Do you have a link or scan of the program or something?haha...That is really cool...I know for a fact he is better than Bethel-Thompson's b**ch a**.

Not so fast, Glendora fans.Just as happy as the rest of you but lets be real.

My top 10:
1- Charter Oak
2- Diamond Ranch
3- South Hills
4- Glendora
5- Los Altos

That is what the Top 5 looks like and that is really all that matters because the bottom end of the SGV is basically a crapshoot to be honest.

OK you hard core Glendora people here is one for you and one you should be proud of. I'm at the UCLA game and I thumbing through my program when all of a sudden I see this players picture in the players picture roster that looked very familiar to me. It was none other than Jacob Crook. He was a great Tartan QB and a good guy to. So heres a shout out to Jacob making Glendora proud.And great win today UCLA.

Arroyo fans:

Hate all you want its nothing new. YOU think WE suck. WE think YOU suck. As long as we win our next 3 league games we are still in the playoffs. I've been supporting and posting blogs all year I ain't gonna stop now...See y'all in 2 weeks and as always...

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

Re: Next weeks top 6

i would even place glendora in the top #1 spot even though they had lost a close one to charter oak. got to look at what they accomplished by beating chino hills a extremely tough team. they also positioned themselves as the front runner to be sl champions.

benchwarmer~~

I would only judge what I see. I've see Rabe three times. Yes, he has good size and he is a good player. Probably a very nice kid. I expected to see monster performance and was not impressed. Maybe it's coaching, maybe not. I wish him luck all the same.

i am going to get you skrid if its the last thing i do you scum bag

vanner, what year did tc kick you out, ill bet i can track you down you husky wannabe.

skird you are a disgruntled chaerter oak drop out i bet
i got VANNER's back and i went to temple city biioooyycchhheeee!!!!!!!

Anonymous: Rabe, McMahon and Pertusati are very good HS players. Not overrated - just under coached. IT IS THE COACHING! You gotta see it to believe it! These boys are playing their hearts out but what can you do with a coach who doesn't have a clue how to teach, adjust, call effective plays? In the case of Rabe, size does matter! No doubt Nick Allioti (Oregon D Co-ord) will get him on track! Oregon has an exceptional coaching staff. Have you been watching their games this year? Oregon has played 10 true freshmen and red-shirts in their games this year and they are performing. Look at their record. Rabe with the right coaching will fit in well and do well in the PAC. Can't wait to watch him in "AWESOME" Stadium.

Vanner

I'm about to put my 80's sh husky cleat up you big mouth A$$. Go back to your waterboy duties and shut the hell up and go kiss bogans ass.

asking the coaching staff to speak up is not the direction to go. If your asking a staff that was selected by the head coach then what do you expect, more of the same. This season as gone as most had expected, and as much as the parents of supported the staff, the more pain the boys feel. Enough is enough and what or should happened won't. Asking them to step down at this point is POINTLESS, and asking the school to do something now is pointless.

The group that hired him made this bed and now the team must lay in it. If the departure of players last year was bad, and for whatever reasons, this next year will be twice as bad and for the obvious REASONS.

Original CO Bro......and CO Bro supporters

I should have known better

CO Bro we're on the same page brother.Too bad some "knucklehead" used your good name to raise some eyebrows

The Sierra League

With key games coming in the next three weeks the Sierra League race of opportunity is starting to tighten.

If I was to describe the SL I would have to use the word...PARITY. From the beginning of this season each team had an equal start.....as our game against Chino Hills appeared even by the half....the roll of the third and fourth quarters mirrored an extension of that same battle.

What caused one to pull away from the other was "mistakes" made by one team and another's willingness to make good on those opportunities.

In the end, we controlled something that hasn't availed us in a long time....possibly a berth with top honors. We continue our current stride and the SL will have a new name to etch in the books.

PLAID LAD

skrid i can't believe you brandish a man's playoff pick from a high school game from a year ago and bring it up like that..... you got issues buddy, serious issues, get a life

TOP 6 Next week can only look like this based on win against the quality of the opponent:

1. Charter Oak (Beat Glendora - next loss will drop down)
2. Glendora (Beat the toughest team "Chino Hills" on Friday's game schedule)
3. Diamond Ranch (Still looking pretty good)
4. South Hills (next loss will drop down)
5. Ayala (rising SL star - won't beat Glendora though)
6. Duarte (Still putting big points on board against weaker teams)

I agree with aram. P.S. Ill meet you at the blue oyster bar later big daddy.

P.S.S. didnt you have sh beating co last year in the playoffs????? What was that score again?

charweter oak hates themselves they are a miserable group to be around especially the coaching staff

i agree with the posting from earlier today and i don;t hate charweter oak

Top 3 Teams that are most likely to bring home a 2007 CIF Title or go farthest within their Division in the CIF Post-Season Playoffs

1. Duarte Falcons
2. South Hills Huskies
3. Charter Oak Chargers

i just don't think they can get past south hills or eldoo if they should meet.

what do you guys think
don't make me come back to post just for nothing.

CO BRO,
This funny, Dom Farrar? Is that in the closet humor with you and MTC. please explain.

Posted by: Skrid at October 20, 2007 04:07 PM

Skrid, dude that was not me posting. Don't play into his hands. This will be my last post for the weekend. All others posting under CO Bro this weekend are posers.

PREPWATCHER22 at October 20, 2007 03:53 PM

Come on, wins some games and quit blaming others

FOR ALL THE CHARTER OAK HATERS.

what else does charter oak have to do
the have beat good teams like glendora and west covina. There offense has scored 50 points back to back games. They can show they put teams away(wilson). I guess charter oak is gonna have to shut everyone up by just winning c.i.f. should have won last year but they had some plays go bad

mike ranger

CO BRO,
This funny, Dom Farrar? Is that in the closet humor with you and MTC. please explain.

DAN,

OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVENT BEEN TO ANY BISHOP AMAT GAMES..I AGREE THAT ALEMANY IS A GOOD TEAM BUT AMAT IS ALOT BETTER THAN WHATS BEEN SHOWN..WE JUST NEED SOME FINE TUNING AND A NEW COACH....GET YOUR FACTS BEFORE YOU CAN COMMENT.

ex coach and trib supporter at October 20, 2007 03:30 PM

I won't eat or sleep until you apologize. If you won't apologize, maybe somebody else will apologize for you. Is there any ex con...damn it..ex coach supporters on this blog who will apologize for him? Please, if not eating or sleeping isn't enough, then I will be forced to hold my breath! 1...2...3...4........(inhale - inhale). Ok I wont eat or sleep!

FANatic has left the Blog....gasping for air!

BTW, Fred, I forgive you and I have entered your B-Day on my calendar!

Will you guys quit complaining already. Turn on the TV and watch USC vs. Notre Dame or something.
I just don't get you guys. Stop fighting.

so... wheres all the san dimas fans complaning about not being ranked high enough today??

dan

nice post, u is correct,and next year we will be playing u

Fred,
Why is this blog against one user name per one e-mail address, it would eliminate these imposters such as the one logging on as CO Bro or as Big Lou., I also don't think Vanner would have made that last comment at 1:59 pm. I don't get your reasoning Fred.

Also, for you Amat fans blaming this last loss on Coach Verti, do your research, Alemany is a good team this year, Amat really was the underdog, just cause the tribune picked Amat to win doesn't mean they were favored, Amat loss to a better team, just like my Bulldogs.
Alemany has a 33.3 calpreps rating and had a close game against a powerful Crespi team last week [28 to 21]. If they can hang with Crespi then you know they should beat Amat. Can't blame this one on your coach.

Fanatic, you got some problems and I would never apologize to you. Remember 3 for 3

I am CoBro and you are not!

Out!

the real and original. MTC you know that! Who else would be this funny. Dom Farrar? hahaha shhhhwinnng, brilliance.

CO Bro

yo all u co fans need to understand they aint tight.... just cuz they could beat the tartans... a team made of stone by the way... dont mean they can beat a team with speed and size like they got...

yo all u co fans need to understand they aint tight.... just cuz they could beat the tartans... a team made of stone by the way... dont mean they can beat a team with speed and size like they got...

Fanatic, the birthday's on March 18, and just a Cigar will do.

FANatic is on the Blog!

Fred,

If we become friends again, does that mean I have to send you flowers on your birthday? One more date in my head will force me to forget some other invaluable fact!

Okay, we can be friends. Can I call you Freddy? I like the name Freddy. Ok enough!!!

I will forgive you and the Tribune. But, ex coach is still on my S*** List! Sorry, ex con...upps I mean ex coach, I'll except your apologies as well! Now we are all friends!!

See Mikey, it isn't that difficult to make friends on the blog!

I hope everyone has a nice day!

FANatic has left the Blog...feeling good about making new friends!!!! :)

MTC, BTD & my Bro who's got my back. No all the others post prior to this is some A** wipe using my moniker to piss some people off. Mike I can prove it! What was the one word I accused you and only you of using last year? (I apologize for that too). So if this other Bro is spouting off words of hate and anger to others, you can be assured I have a little more tack than that. Not that I have never or will never run off at the mouth before. I would choose my words a little more carefully...you never know when they will come back and bite you on the a**.
Anyways I would like to congratulate the Tartan faithful for their BIG win last night. San Dimas, I am sure you now know how it feels to be humbled like the rest of us do. I'm sure you will right your ship and continue to have a very successful year.
As for CO…Adam Muema, WOW! This kid is going to be something big in the next couple of years. See you boy’s next week @ Los Altos. I am sorry that LA has lost so many great players this year, I had hoped we could both be at full strength for our annual dog fight. May the best team or the team with the best TRICK play win! (Sorry could not help myself)

WOOT WOOT LP!!!!!!

Haha haha skrid relax man it's me COBro. I was just playing but obviously got to you
lighten up my man

I PREDICTED THAT BALDWIN PARK WOULD WIN AGAINST SAN DIMAS. SAN DIMAS HADDNT PLAYED ANYONE WORTH MENTIONING AND THEY RAN INTO A DECENT SQUAD AT BP.SAN DIMAS WAS OVERRATED GOING IN AND IT SHOWED AGAINST A GOOD TEAM IN BP. EITHER WAY..IT WAS A GOOD GAME FROM WHAT I HEARD.

There is no chance that a SGV team has a shot at D6 El Dorado! It may be CO or SH in the final game but I doubt they can win against El Dorado, there Calpreps rating is 45.4
amazing

CoCoBroHOMO or mom,
You sound like that bitter kid who never got off the bench and later applied for a coaching job at CO and once again got shot down.....What's that saying, "if it smells like crap its crap" I tried to simplify that for you gas pump boy.

Why is it that race had to be brought up as an issue in the BP SD game. I can guarantee you that the players and coaches on each side were not thinking about playing the "white" team or the "Mexican" team. They were concerned about winning a football game which is what Baldwin Park did.
To say that race is an issue is a slap in the face to both teams. The BP players played tough and deserved the win. To say they did it over a "white" team only takes away from the victory. And to the blogger who said that San Dimas said racist comments to Baldwin Park in the 90s, well I'm sorry to hear that, but that doesn't go on with this team. SD has several hispanics on their team and their Defensive coordinator is a hispanic who grew up in Pico Rivera and his players (white, black and Mexican) will run through a wall for the guy.
Coach Heggins and his staff is a mixture of African-Americans and Hispanics and I can guarantee you they did not care about the fact that SD is considered a "white school" so lets get off the subject.

Anyway, BP did a great job of shutting down a top-notch offense and they deserved the win. The BP Defense was just a little bit better than the SD defense last night.

to EVALUATION:
Please know that MANY OF US are thrilled beyond words that Aram is gone and look forward to Fred cleaning up his mess. AT, or the Big Guy, whatever you want to call him - was tacky, unprofessional and ignorant when it came to sports.. He sided with some of the guys in here but had such ego problems - he thought he could put them in their place just as easily. What a disaster he was - so glad the Trib cleaned up and got a class act in fred.

Yeah tell him Benny Tone Deaf.
You are a whinner. Jackhole Fatass.

Damn! One of you guys/gals needs to take his/her meds -- somebody with multiple personalities. Since I don't know what his/her name is I'll just call her Sybil.

Sybil, I am not a looser I am a loser. Don't they teach you how to spell at the institute?

Hey Fred. South Hills looked very good last night in their near shut out of the Mustangs. Bogan told me before the game that Damon Kluklinski was recovering nicely from his injury and that they were going to see if he practices this coming week, so as good as the Huskies looked, isn't scary to think that they might be better or even compete for a CIF title? I haven't seen Glendora or any of the other top teams in your top 10 but I guess that remains to be seen. I'm going to be at Citrus next saturday so give me a call if you need some1 to cover that Western Christian vs. Ontario Christian game. Talk to you next week

VANNER I would of thought you were better than that and Bogan probably wouldn't approve of someone acting like that either you sinner!

HELLO PREP FOOTBALL FANS,

DID ANYONE GO TO THE BISHOP AMAT GAME LAST NIGHT AGAINST ALEMANY? MANY SOURCES TOLD ME ABOUT THE GAME. NOT ONE...NOT TWO..THREE OR FOUR...BUT VARIOUS SOURCES ON ONCE AGAIN, VERTI'S LACK OF LEADERSHIP. HE DECIDED TO CHANGE IT UP TOWARDS THE END AND WHAT HAPPENS? AMAT SCORES A TOUCHDOWN WITH THE BACK UP SENIOR QUARTERBACK. FOR MOST OF THE GAME, THE QB WAS LENHART. LENHART THREW 3 INTERCEPTIONS IN THE GAME AND PLAYED INCONSISTENT...HIS DUTIES WERE OVER IN THE FOURTH QUARTER AND VERTI SEEMED TO WISE UP AND FINALY PUT IN THE SENIOR IGLESIAS...THIS KID FIRED UP THE OFFENSE(WHICH LACKED ANY DESIRE PREVIOUSLY) AND DROVE THE TEAM DOWN FIELD FOR AMAT'S ONLY TOUCHDOWN. WAY TO GO KID. YOU SEEMED TO BRING THE OFFENSE TOGETHER FROM WHAT I HEARD. HOPEFULLY, THE AMAT FANS GET TO SEE ALOT MORE OF YOU..WAY TO BE PATIENT FOR YOUR TURN.
I READ THE PAPER AND VERTI STATES THAT DEFENSE WAS NOT TIRED...WHAT GAME WAS HE WATCHING? I WASN'T THERE BUT MY SOURCES TELL ME THAT THE DEFENSE WAS FATIGUED FROM MANY OF THE PLAYERS PLAYING BOTH WAYS. THIS ISNT THE FIRST TIME THATS HAPPENED. EVERY GAME SEEMS TO BE PLAYED THE SAME WAY(NO CHANGE, NO FRESH LEGS, SAME OL VERTI)..WHY ARENT FRESH LEGS PUT IN? THERE'S SO MUCH TALENT ON THE SIDELINES AND YET THEY ARENT GIVEN THE OPPURTUNITY TO SHOWCASE THEIR SKILLS. THIS WAS STILL NON-LEAGUE AND THOSE ARE THE GAMES WHERE TESTING YOUR PERSONNEL IS SUPPOSED TO COME ABOUT...
CMON VERTI AND ALL YOU VERTI SUPPORTERS....HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? VERTI HAS SIMPLY BEEN OUTCOACHED, OUTSMARTED, AND OUTPLAYED..HE HAS REITERATED WHAT I'VE SAID ALL ALONG.."HE DOES NOT BELONG IN DIVISION 1 FOOTBALL"... HANG IN THEIR AMAT BOYS..SOMEONE HOPEFULLY WILL COME TO YOUR RESCUE. YOU ALL ARE ALOT BETTER THAN WHAT HAS BEEN SHOWN AND IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. YOU PLAY HARD BUT YOU CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH WHEN SOMEONE(VERTI) IS PULLING YOUR STRINGS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION..
I WISH AMAT BOYS THE BEST AND ONCE AGAIN.....
SEE YOU ALL NEXT WEEK AT THE LANCERS GAME.

P.S. CMON ASSISTANT COACHES...SPEAK UP BECAUSE I KNOW MANY OF YOU DONT AGREE WITH VERTI'S DECISIONS..YOURE COACHES ALSO AND YOUR SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOUR INPUT FOR CHANGE.

WHAT DO YOU ALL OUT THERE THINK?

Yeah it's COBro's Mom. She blogs when he's asleep after his COUSD Security Guard Shift is up. They do this all the time.

CO Football fan is a woman obviously who tought her how to use a computer? I want to make it perfectly clear that she is in no way shape or form affiliated with Charger Football.

Benny Tone Deaf is a looser

Mike the Clone, Benny Tone Deaf, and PLAID LAD:

I want to also acknowledge what CO Bro's Bro posted because none of us condone what the jackass pretending to be CO Bro wrote and I also want to congratulate you on big wins last night against Chino Hills and Canyon and wish your teams the best of luck the rest of the season and please realize we do have RESPECT for both you and your teams! Between us, Glendora, and South Hills one of us has to be in the Finals representing the S.G.V. and if we're not we will be supporting our S.G.V. teams and Benny Tone Deaf we would be very fortunate to have a chance to play you in the Finals again but that's seven weeks away and we are not even close at being at a caliber like yourselves yet to say we can compete with you let alone get to the Finals!

if charger fans are talking about mike the clone in the stands admiring his integrity during games then the charter oak faithful is a joke no wonder the only place the majority of thier players graduate to is the sidelines of charger field years after they graduate hanging out doing nothing erin capers will chip on my shoulder harris go get a jobs.

What's the difference between Verti and Morrison?

Morrison has one title and Verti has none.

What does Verti and Morrison have in common?

They both suck and will be collecting unemployment checks at the end of the season.

We need a revolution, we need reform, we need to restore Pricate Catholic School dominance in the SGV again! We need better qualified HCoaches. It's our only hope.

BP DAD

Very classy posts.

Your kids played their hearts out and beat a very good team..

See you next year and best of luck along the way!

I know Myself personally and I do not know who the person that fraud is that posted that they aren't who they say they weren't.
I am CO Bro and the person who posted is an imposter I know him personally and Coach Lou and him are not imposters.
As far as CO Bro's Bro that can't type correctly I forgive you because you obviously don't know CO Bro and like to give reach arounds to El Dorado after they beat up MTCII and MTC's Tartans and Coach Lou's Chargers. I would never bow down to ElDo that's why you say that you know me but my shift ended at 6am.
We do not respect anyone other than ourselves and the players while they are in the program. When they are finished they are failures not only in the college we may get them to but they can't stay in college or get good jobs so we get them back here at CO to hang out on game night in their lettermans jackets cause that's all they know. Coach Lou maker of men, what a joke. Michael Grahm 25 to life. Let's ask him if he learned how to start race wars on campus or break into houses from Coach Lou. CoCo's Bro Cry me a fricken river you sap. The real COBro, Whose 24 hour security guard shift at COUSD was over at 6am this morning! Eat up that you imposter cause both your mom's are here right now gettin' dirtay!

bp dad
great blog, very well done

First off I would like to say that Baldwin Park DID beat San Dimas....whether you thought it was deservered, well earned or not. Both teams played well and the game was great. San Dimas represented well. Baldwin Park's defense was the deciding factor.
It was Baldwin Park's homecomming and it was great to have a good feeling at the dance afterwards.
Secondly please keep in mind anyone can post comments in this section. You don't have to be from either school to leave a comment. Please don't assume the racial comments came from the winning team. And if they did....one student does not represent a whole student body of 2,400 students.
I certainly can't take comments that are obviously not representative of a school with all seriousness. Baldwin Park is doing well and the student body is proud of their win.
Just as any other school would be if they had defeated an undefeated winning team.
Race has nothing to do with it. San Dimas is a good team....they just happened to get beat by us...Baldwin Park.
Please keep in mind Baldwin Park is filled with great students who do not share the comment of race as an issue.

CO Bro's Bro - No Worries Here! The playoffs will take care of themselves. Only fans like us are paying much attention to the playoffs right now (or should be)anyway.

Anything can happen in the playoffs. I've been following the SGV since last year's run and in the SouthWest Div. South Hills, Diamond Ranch, Charter Oak and Los Altos are all capable of winning it all if they get hot. Same for the OC with El Do, Foothill, Trabuco, and Canyon.

It more than likely will be an OC vs. SGV final and I'll say it again I like playing at Citrus College. If the final is in the OC then Tony's Little Italy in Placentia is the place to go for a slice.

FredJ
I think the problem is many of us are still biased towards Aram and his product compared to you and unfortunately we have to accept you are doing the best job you can and there really is no solution because Aram is not coming back and you are who the Tribune chose to hire as his replacement.

Mike at October 20, 2007 10:29 AM

I agree with you and if these fans are BP fans I want to apologize for them. Yes we won, but you win with class and lose with class. It was an exciting and good game.

Two of us Dads were walking out thru the visitor’s side. We came up to Nico Barbone and his father and when he made eye contact, he stuck out his hand and congratulated us on a great game. We told Nico he was a very tuff football player and our guys are better for playing against him and the Saints. He said "thank you sir" and we moved on.

It never should be about White/Hispanic schools or race and that comment and comments about a kid are wrong. I don’t think our coach would approve of anything like this.

The Tribune should take steps to improve the content.

SOUTH HILLS VS EL DORADO FOR THE C.I.F CHAMPIONSHIP GAME...SOUTH HILLS HAS THE WEAPONS AT EVERY POSITION ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL NOBODY IN THE VALLEY CAN HANG WITH THEM SGV VS OC IN THE TITLE GAME THIS YEAR

Mike the Clone and Benny Tone Deaf,

I know CO Bro personally and he has been busy the last 24 hours so that is an impostor pretending to be him.

Us Charger fans get "it" and have much love and respect for Mike the Clone (Glendora) and Benny Tone Deaf (El Dorado)! When the real CO Bro steps forward probably hopefully at some point this weekend he will set the record straight too but I have literally heard Charger fans in the stands complement you Mike the Clone and your integrity (seriously we are your biggest fan for a multitude of reasons) and Benny Tone Deaf none of us at Charter Oak even begin to pretend to be anywhere close to El Dorado's level.

Big Lou preaches character and humility is the one word I continue to hear him use after the games the last few weeks. Stay healthy gentlemen, continued good luck, and God's speed be with you men and your teams.

If you notice his name at the bottom, he doesn't even type CO Bro's name correctly!

Can't we all just get along :), Fanatic, last thing, I wasn't trying to avoid anything, I was commeting on what seemed like your most important questions. As far as score by quarters not getting called in for Glendora, there's no excuse for that. Tribune reporters and correspondents know to call in quarter updates and finals. When other newspapers handle games for us, sometimes they forget, so we should be reminding them. Usually they're pretty good about it, but he probably just forgot since it's not something they regularly do.

Response to : CO Bro...(if that is really you)

Alittle concerned about your comment about Damien and Amat being "the scum of the bucket." Poor choice of words...both teams are great programs and although experiencing hitches in their game they'll both recover.

I'd like to think that SGV does not have any scum in the bucket...and that would include CO.

PLAID LAD

Coach Pasqy is tihs nekcihc in my opinon.

MTCII

CO Bro.........

And one more thing, cancelling that game with you guys is a big mistake.

MTC

to people talking smack about BP...
go ahead...u talked smack before rowland...u said our best game wouldnt beat San Dimas' best game...well i hope u people were there at those games

go braves!

Hey, ex coach and tribune supporter, did you even read what you posted:

Fanatic go back to "gardening" I think that's what you do best. Your comments to Fred are off base and I dont th;ink you know a thing about sports and I would bet my life you've competed at even the high school level. So keep your comments to Glendora of whatever fan you are of and off of Fred, the trib, or anyone elses opinion of who is avg. or not in the sierra league. Hell, I don't think youd know the difference anyways. Go garden and run your company, OUT (as you would say)

Posted by: ex coach and tribune supporter at October 20, 2007 11:31 AM

Hey fanatic, fred doesnt need to answer to you. You think you know everyhing dont you. Stick to what you do best, gardening and running YOUR business not anybody elses. Just comment or blog on HS football topics and not how someone is not doing their or whatever. Also I love the part when you said, I do understand why a reporter had to go to bishop amat game. Who cares if you understand? Your not that important. With your arrogance, let me make some guesses. your divorced, not close with your kids, and a miserablbe person. How many did I get right?
Keep monitoring!

Posted by: ex coach and trib supporter at October 20, 2007 12:17 PM

I believe ex coach, you are the one making assumtions. If you plan to call out somebody, at least have a plan of action and strategy. I think Fred is capable of responding on his own and, I bet very embarrased to have you as a supporter.

FANatic will now adhere to his old policy of not wasting gardening time by responding to silly bloggers.

CO Bro.....

OK I get it...silly me.

With Coach Lou it could happen.

Late!

Mike the Clone

ex coach and trib supporter, I'm not thinking playoffs right now, hey it's a real victory just to win league...if we do of course.

Hey, if we can beat Ayala, that would be nice as well.

RE; CH being average, even in the big picture, I think is an understatement. Chino Hills is not a roll over by any means. But you are right about one thing, when we look at some of the power houses outside our area, it is absolutley amazing.

I was at the redlands game last year and, I will tell you, they make El Do look sandlot. Hey these kids are human like the rest of us, it's the coaching which makes the difference outside our area.

FANatic has left the Blog... Also, good to hear from you Plaid Lad!

GHS victory over Chino Hills

Been unavailable lately to read the grey space but after the GHS win over Chino Hill..who could resist.

FANactic and MTC...I see you boys have been busy fanning flies from the plate of victory. Proud to be affilated with you football-caters of the verbal pitch against those that HATE.

As for the victory...well after clocking the win against Damien last week the Sierra League looked wide open for whoever fought the hardest. It's always great when we come to play ball.

Chino Hills posed a real obstacle for our plaid crew, but as well studied and prepared as we were for Damien we had to burn the mid-night oil to come up with the another perfect game against a mighty foe in the Husky's.

CHHS Harris and company planned to debut their strengths but never considered what GHS had in a punishing D that closed the door on field progress with nail-biting effects of "just playing hard-ass football." Coach Styker and the plaid-crew (D) deserve alot of credit. Congrats!

GHS's O executed again and when the big boys up front come to play...WE CAN'T BE BEAT! Thanks to Bachman, Lilly, Tessor, Sefton, Noriega, Aguirre, Niles and Big McGarry the offensive game plan clicked for a another pronounced victory.

With three games left in league play alot can still happen on the road to a league title. Keeping our eye on the teams mission coupled with an aggressive attitude will serve notice what we were all about from the beginning.

GHS players, coaches, fans, and supporters....like I said.... remain ever vigilent...for the season and league champion status is ours to capture or surrender.

FYI: This will be another short week for Coach P and the plaid-crew.....we strap-it-on Thursday @ 7PM against Chino (AWAY).

Congrats to all SGV victories

PLAID LAD

Also, fanatic when anonymous was speaking of chino hills being average, he's speaking in terms of the big picture in their respective division. Not just this little SGV area. Glendoras got no shot in CIF neither does anybody in the Sierra league in the inland division. So avg for the big picture is what that post was referring to. Average for this little area might be azuza or bonita or covina. Of course they are much more talented than them. How many games do you think theSierra league will win in the playoffs?

who would have ever thought that the Damien and Amat would be the scum on the bottom of the bucket? both programs being destroyed by their own ex-alumni. Morrison and Verti, wow. At least Morrison won a league championship last year but Verti.... has stunk from the beginning and getting worse. Sorry Daylon but your NFL experience can't recruit smart players as long as Verti is stinking up the Valley.

Here's to the Charter Oak Chargers.

benchwarmer~~~

it's silly to blame all of damiens problem's on the coaches. While, John Rabe, Danny Pertasauti, Ryan McMahon are good players, they are very over-rated. Danny Pertasauti never should have been rated the tribunes #1 QB going into summer practice. bacca and kluzney have performed much better. Rabe has not impressed me at all against good teams. maybe damien should take a look at who they put on the field and who sits on the bench. I guess that could be blamed on poor coaching.

HELLO PREP FOOTBALL FANS,

DID ANYONE GO TO THE BISHOP AMAT GAME LAST NIGHT AGAINST ALEMANY? MANY SOURCES TOLD ME ABOUT THE GAME. NOT ONE...NOT TWO..THREE OR FOUR...BUT VARIOUS SOURCES ON ONCE AGAIN, VERTI'S LACK OF LEADERSHIP. HE DECIDED TO CHANGE IT UP TOWARDS THE END AND WHAT HAPPENS? AMAT SCORES A TOUCHDOWN WITH THE BACK UP SENIOR QUARTERBACK. FOR MOST OF THE GAME, THE QB WAS LENHART. LENHART THREW 3 INTERCEPTIONS IN THE GAME AND PLAYED INCONSISTENT...HIS DUTIES WERE OVER IN THE FOURTH QUARTER AND VERTI SEEMED TO WISE UP AND FINALY PUT IN THE SENIOR IGLESIAS...THIS KID FIRED UP THE OFFENSE(WHICH LACKED ANY DESIRE PREVIOUSLY) AND DROVE THE TEAM DOWN FIELD FOR AMAT'S ONLY TOUCHDOWN. WAY TO GO KID. YOU SEEMED TO BRING THE OFFENSE TOGETHER FROM WHAT I HEARD. HOPEFULLY, THE AMAT FANS GET TO SEE ALOT MORE OF YOU..WAY TO BE PATIENT FOR YOUR TURN.
I READ THE PAPER AND VERTI STATES THAT DEFENSE WAS NOT TIRED...WHAT GAME WAS HE WATCHING? I WASN'T THERE BUT MY SOURCES TELL ME THAT THE DEFENSE WAS FATIGUED FROM MANY OF THE PLAYERS PLAYING BOTH WAYS. THIS ISNT THE FIRST TIME THATS HAPPENED.

CMON VERTI AND ALL YOU VERTI SUPPORTERS....HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? VERTI HAS SIMPLY BEEN OUTCOACHED, OUTSMARTED, AND OUTPLAYED..HE HAS REITERATED WHAT I'VE SAID ALL ALONG.."HE DOES NOT BELONG IN DIVISION 1 FOOTBALL"... HANG IN THEIR AMAT BOYS..SOMEONE HOPEFULLY WILL COME TO YOUR RESCUE. YOU ALL ARE ALOT BETTER THAN WHAT HAS BEEN SHOWN AND IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. YOU PLAY HARD BUT YOU CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH WHEN SOMEONE(VERTI) IS PULLING YOUR STRINGS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION..
I WISH AMAT BOYS THE BEST AND ONCE AGAIN.....
SEE YOU ALL NEXT WEEK AT THE LANCERS GAME.

P.S. CMON ASSISTANT COACHES...SPEAK UP BECAUSE I KNOW MANY OF YOU DONT AGREE WITH VERTI'S DECISIONS..YOURE COACHES ALSO AND YOUR SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOUR INPUT FOR CHANGE.

CO Bro - "CIF Champs this year" huh?

Maybe El Do will get to see you again at our new home stadium Citrus College for another Championship game. That would be fun.

It's becoming a tradition of mine to get a slice at Petrillo's before I visit that wonderful Home Field o hours. :)

Actually I'm sure the boys would very much like a rematch but they are only thinking about El Modena at this point.

BTW, CIF #1 El DO 42 - CIF #2 Canyon 6 last night

Good Morning/Afternoon Football Fans:

Well it happened again! Damien coaching takes a win away from their own team and hands the game right over to Ayala. And I thought last weeks game against Glendora was embarrassing - this is even more embarrassing! The Damien boys were playing football last night and earned a W.! Not so "Mighty Mo" and his sidekick Junior (Carroll) completely took that W away in the last seconds of the game. Unbelievable. IT IS COMPLETE COACHING STUPIDITY. This game wasn't even close until the last minute!
So what will Monday practice bring for the Spartan team? Mo and Junior take no responsibility for their poor decision making, coaching, or leadership. Makes you wonder if Mo and Junior are intentionally trying to take next level opportunities away from several of the boys.
Its only getting worse. This year's Junior players are not being developed for any hopes of a successful team next season. Damien Freshmen and Sophomore football players and parents take note -make your dreams possible. NOW IS THE TIME TO TRANSFER if you have any hope of playing college ball. YOU HAVE TO HELP YOURSELVES!
John Rabe, Danny Pertasauti, Ryan McMahon you've been robbed! Those of us in the know, know you have all the capabilities and the talent and deserve more than two wins this season. You have done your part and have given us something to cheer about. Hold your heads high, all Spartan men. Not so "Mighty Mo" and "Junior", you should be ashamed! You do not have the skills or the talents to lead a winning team - recognize your worthlessness and step aside for the sake of the reputation of DHS.

FANatic still monitoring

Fred,

Don't construe my comments as speaking for ALL Glendora fans, because I certainly don't. I speak for myself only. I have opinions. I don't care if I am all alone on this. I can care less.

Again this is NOT A GLENDORA ISSUE. THIS IS A TRIBUNE ISSUE.

You are avoiding, by not addressing, the scoreboard blunder last night. Please what happened and can it get corrected prior to next weeks Game of the Week?

Are there no Baldwin Park Trib reporters who could have covered the BP/SD game in your absense while you covered the "Game of the Week"? I understand Steve having to travel to Alemany as there would be no sister papers to prorerly cover the Amat game.

As I said earlier, most of this stuff is out of your control and it's a sad result of the decline of newspaper revenue. I am not new to the newspaper business, having spent over 20 (early in my career) years of my life trying to bridge the editorial/business side gap.

And, finally Fred, I dearly respect your work. I've been in your position (way back when typewriters had ribbons and newspapers used hottype, yes even before coldtype). So I do understand your frustrations. There are simple solutions here. If you or Steve can't cover a SGV Tribune "Game of the Week", don't make it the "Game of the Week". Because, if you feel it deserves the tag "Game of the Week", doesn't it also deserve your presence and subsequently, a local flair to the coverage?

I love Anonymous comment about his half a** son,
I have one too!

Enjoy the weekend! I'm done with this topic!

FANatic is back to gardening!

Mike the Clone

You are lucky that your Pasqy has cancelled the game with my school otherwise I'd probably wrap those chains around your neck next year for insinuating that Ann Coulter is 'kind of hot' and that's where I drew the resemblance. I meant the both of you are annoying to those you are affiliated with and fail to understand this. Oblivious. Drop Dead Mike the Clone. CO rules. We will be CIF Champs this year.

Damien athletics in turmoil what the heck is going on over there? Thanks for the clarification on carroll the d.c. and not the old ad. I didnt know his son was on the staff. Too bad, Ithink it seems more like the old times when damien and amat are ruling. I guess those days are gone. Times change and these schools to regain comp edge need to treat it like business and get the right people in the right places . Being a private school they have a much better ability to do that than the public schools who often are "stuck" with people and coaches, which breeds mediocrity

Fanatic go back to "gardening" I think that's what you do best. Your comments to Fred are off base and I dont th;ink you know a thing about sports and I would bet my life you've competed at even the high school level. So keep your comments to Glendora of whatever fan you are of and off of Fred, the trib, or anyone elses opinion of who is avg. or not in the sierra league. Hell, I don't think youd know the difference anyways. Go garden and run your company, OUT (as you would say)

CO Bro......

What was that?... I haven't said anything that was out of line.

Hey man why all of a sudden are you bagging me?

Remember I'm probably one of the few that has a lot of respect for CO. What gives? Thought you and I were on the same team

Oh by the way Ann Coulter is kind OF hot!(Laughing)And I liked the "move the chains and get outta the way" comment.

Hope we're still buds!

Mike the Clone

DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW HOW I CAN MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGANST GAME OFFICIAL TO CIF.ANYONE WHO SAW THE SOUTH EL MONTE GAME KNOW WHAT AM TALKING ABOUT.. THANKS.....

What's up with that, it's very simple. If I covered the Glendora game, there would be one less team covered in the Tribune. If Steve didn't cover the Amat game way out in Alemany, we wouldn't have had a Lancers story in the newspaper. Seriously Glendora fans, are these your complaints? Many of your may not know this, but we have one sports staff at the Tribune that reads, edits and produces sports pages for the Whittier Daily News, Pasadena Star-News, the Bulletin, Sun and Tribune, and we work on crazy deadlines because now our paper is printed out at the L.A. Daily News in Valencia instead of the Tribune. Writers don't even have time to write two versions of stories, one for the Trib and one for the Bulletin, which would have been ideal with Glendora and Chino Hills. I'm telling you, those days are long gone when it was just the Tribune and one staff putting out our own paper.

Anonymous, or anyone else who complains about coverage, call our management and voice your opinions. I hope it helps, but there's only so much I can do with the budget I'm given, and the staff we have. If you look at other local newspapers and compare the whole package, stories during the week, game coverage, video highlights and what we offer online, especially our blogs, you will find we're way ahead of the curve. The big problem is newspapers continue to downsize in staff, but management wants beefed up coverage online at the same time. It's a tough balance, but we do the best we can.

fred, I agree with fanatic on this one. please explain how a game is important enough to be a game of the week, but isn't important enough for you or Steve to be there to write the local story?

Mike, I said a long time ago that bloggers have the freedom to applaud and criticize coaches and players. There's no way around it, or we wouldn't have a blog. What I've tried to do is clean up the language and obvious personal attacks. Or anything talking about someone's personal life. Everyone knows Barbone is a great player who ran into a good defense last night. He has a great future, and if he's fortunate enough to play at the next level, there will be college blogs much more unforgiving that this, and reporters as well. Might as well get use to it now and learn how to develop thick skin, I know I've had too. It was much easier five years ago when I just wrote a story and didn't have people calling me out, or picking me apart in blogs. That's how it is and will continue to be. My advice to everyone is not to take this stuff to heart.

FRED, YOUR RESPONSE TO FANATIC'S CONCERNS "Some teams barely get any write-ups, and you're complaining about how a story is written?" REMINDS ME OF MY SON WHO ONLY CLEANS HALF HIS ROOM AND WANTS ME TO BE HAPPY WITH HIS EFFORTS.

WE CALL MY SON HALF-A**

When I played for BP in 1989 and we played Diamond Bar and after we beat them we all lined up on the fifty yard line and congratulated the other team. When we passed them there were alot of racist statement made toward us for being Mexicans. Now almost 20 years later I would hope things what have changed. Football is a team sport and requires everyone to do there job and thats why I love it.It is a game that requires discipline because you have block, run the right routes, and fill in your gaps to win. It doesn't matter if your white or blackor hispanic if you do your job better than the other team, not race, but team you should win. Let this be a lesson to anyone who still thinks backwards it is not about your race it about your team.

For the one who said #4 was all CO had, I guess you weren't at last nights game. #6, # 15, #3,
# 16 (who is only a Soph)#9,#22,#24 all did great, and FYI # 4 didn't play after 2 quarter,
CO plays as a team, Great games guys, and what a way for the Seniors to remember Senior night..
Get focused for next week with LA, I know you'll all do great.

Highlights of the Los Altos vs Diamond Ranch Game. Dranch is over rated.

Fred,

Thanks for you response. First, my post by no means was to call you out or be construed as another stuffy "Glendora" issue. Many of the issues last night were out of your control. I understand the Tribune is understaffed, hell my company is understaffed, but we still find a way to provide quality service. I hear Glendora doesn't even have a news reporter on staff at the Trib any more. Sad.

I am a paying customer of the trib for more years than you have been alive, I guess I just expected a little more. I'm sure Clay Fowler is an excellent reporter for the Trib. At least get him a program! But tell me something, Fred, I shouldn't be able to tell he was from your Chino Hills area by reading just reading the article which ran in my local paper reporting on MY local team's victory. All I ask is, if you or Steve (our local reporters) are not planning to cover the Tribune's Game of the Week, maybe it shouldn't be the "Game of the Week". I would have had no problem with the San Dimas or Amat games (where you guys were) being the game of the week. But it's tough on the kids and parents, when the "Game of the Week" doesn't get the local flair in coverage, especially after a huge victory, and kid's names are wrong in the article.

I guess many teams would love the pics on the front page. I certainly do too. Thanks for that. I am not asking for the world. I'm am a stubborn person, who at times, wants the world to be efficient and prepared, even with insufficient resources.

What happened to scoreboard last night? It worked for every game but the "Game of the Week". That was sad but comical.

Enough bitching at you Fred. Maybe others share my disappointment, maybe not. All in all, I do appreciate your work. What the Trib lacks in local flair, is more than corrected on the Blog. I thank you for that. If you agree these are problems, let's see if we can get them corrected. if they are not problems you can correct or you are not concerned with, so be it!

FANatic has left the Blog!

Fredo the Incredo,
Thought the blog was about generating interest and here I read today how horrible Coach Morrison from Damien is and how crappy Barbone from San Dimas is...How is this allowed on here? I thought this was going to be cleaned up. Both of these guys, esp. Barbone should not have to read about this crap from bloggers. I'm sorry, but Barbone is a kid, just a kid. This is ridiculous. Coach Gundy from Oklahoma State, where are you now when we need you to address the Tribune Blogs. Also, I am not even close to a San Dimas or Damien fan either...It's just not right. When does it stop?

All I have to say to Mike the Clone....

"What Ann Coulter is to the Republican party is what Mike the Clone is to Glendora High School. Move them chains, stay out of the way and shut your mouth."

Hey Fred, I remember you had a list of your top 10 linebackers. Looks like you may have over looked one. I was at the Glendora game last night. I noticed Chino Hills could not run up the middle or attempt to throw over the middle, then when #40 from Glendora was put in to block at fullback it seemed as though Glendora moved the ball better. That kid did not come off the field the second half. Congrats to all the Tartans.

To answer the upset parent who posted the question if DR has a head coach with any respect or class, the answer is "Yes". He is a coach that would fight for the safety of his QB and his Kicker. If you want to see an example of class watch the films and see how many hands the coach from LA shakes. Coach Layton lives and breathes football but nothing compares to the relationships he has with his players present and past as well as those that are part of his coaching staff. Attacking coach Layton’s character and his ability as a coach shows your ignorance and your lack of understanding in the responsibility of a head coach. He is out there to protect his players and to make sure that they are never in harms way outside the realm of the game. Watch the film and see the late hit and then ask yourself what would you do? Would you fight for your player(s) or run home after loosing and write on a blog how mad you are. LA had a whole Quarter without DR's head coach and LA was unable to dominate. If you feel that his coaching is that bad or disgraceful then WIN and prove your point. How can a coach with all his years of glory loose 2 years in a row to a young up and coming coach. Coach layton has showed his professionalism by always talking positive about opposing players as well as his own players. Attacking DR parents and fans because of your hate for their coach is like every parent from LA having the same morals as the LA coach for his recruiting practices. Coach layton will keep striving to make his team better and your comments will only fuel his desire to do better. I can not speak for coach layton players but I think their actions proved which team wanted to win more for their coach. Stop trying to stereotype DR and its parent’s and fans because of the city we represent. If we are so ignorant or not up to your higher standards then please refer to my earlier comment and “Win”. I feel sorry for those of you who have children and felt that it was ok to call out the character of coach Layton. He is husband and a coach but most importantly he is a father first. He has been nothing but a positive role model for his children and all those players he has coached throughout his years as a coach. What did you show your children? That it is ok to cry about loosing and to attack an individual because you didn’t get the outcome you wanted. I will follow in Coach laytons footsteps and those who represent the families of DR and that is to protect the players first and Win.

Posted by: Pac at October 20, 2007 12:49 AM

To 'Pac' 'Pac' 'Pac' !!!!!!!!!! You are an idiot.

Facts about the LA/DRanch game.

1) When a hiked ball intended for the punter touches the ground the punter is fair game. This rule has been around about as long as the game itself. The ball hit the ground and the Los Altos punter got served. Obviously this 'Great Coach' Layton was oblivious to the rule.

2) Coach Layton got ejected and let down his team and the program. Composure Coach is what you lacked here.

3) Coach Layton did not leave the field in a timely manner as stated must happen in the rule book. Suppossedly he was down in the endzone trying to duck the referee's sight like a High School kid not wanting to follow directions. There are too many Coaches like this. Uncomposed, thinking they are are still teenagers, you all are not and you just look like idiots. If Coach Layton was apologizing for being ejected, sorry but there is a time and place to do this and it's not good to use it as an excuse to try and duck the refs. Sounds like something Coach Crutchfield would do. Are these guys related or something?

4) Los Altos dominated the game after Coach Laytons ejection. They moved the ball at will. They got back in the ball game and took the lead. They were driving to score again in the 4th quarter when a 4th and short situation arose where they were actually in field goal range. Instead of going for the FG they went for it, coming up short, Los Altos ball. Coach Gano often has too much class. I can honestly say that Gano did not kick the field goal because he didn't want to 'rub it in' due to the circumstances of DRanch being without their coach. What Gano forgot to realize that his team was depleted and without their star RB McBride who went out of the game on the first play from scrimmage, possibly out for the season. Gano made a huge mistake and he knew it.

5) 1st play for DRanch, :43 seconds left they send all their recievers, one of which is Brandon Sermons. He catches the ball at about the LA 45 and throws 2 LA defenders past him and goes into the endzone game over.

DRanch got lucky buddy and this is no where near the rendition of the game that you falsely interpreted in your post. You have cheated the bloggers and now you will be forbidden from ever blogging here again.

A WIN is a WIN so take it humbly and shut your mouth. I hope Bonita and Wilson beat your team for your erroneous post.

pac,
im sorry i hurt your feelings, but you read what you want to, nothing was ever said about his coaching ability, in fact im wrong, i said he was a very good coach, nothing was said about him being a good father, husband or coach, why would you bring that up, if you realy think you guys arent cheapshot artist, go down on the field one game, watch and LISTEN, in fact it started before the game thursday, two of your players were mouthing off at la as they were in there pre huddle, guess you had blinders on then, i believe all coaches protect there players as yours do, but you didnt answer the question, he was hiding behind 3 people before he was told for the third time to leave,and about the winning you are talking about, you are saying two wins in a row make you guys the (it team ) come on, you have a good team and a good coach but you have won nothing yet.again, please go down on the field one game, if you really belive what you wrote you will find out differently.and one more time, im sure hes a good dad , husband, friend and coach, but they need to clean it up a bit.
and good luck in cif, i still root for our league first

The Warriors are playing with as much heart as their namesake. Go La Puente Warriors!

San Dimas suckssssss!!!

I knew once they actually played a decent team(Not saying Baldwin Park is decent) they would lose...

Just imagine if they played a Charter Oak, Diamond Ranch, or South Hillss

All we can do is keep playing hard and winning games. Cant worry about the playoffs. Stay focused on league. Next up La Puente.

PS that sophmore running back at charter oaks played for the duarte hawks. I knew he going to be a great player in high school.

Hey Jimenez,
Mr. FEAR THE MEAD, what happen Friday night ? did I tell you not to over-look the Lions, well they beat you. Maybe you should change to FEAR THE MESS.
Rosemead sucks, always has, always will suck.
Congrats to El Monte and South on their wins, Go Arroyo.

well well well, the sh huskies are rollin once again, the san antonio leauge is just a warm up for c.i.f. , and bring on the oc baby the sgv is ready.

And I write that just after you apologize...see, I get worked up sometimes too.

Fanatic, first off, Bulletin reporter Clay Fowler is a very good reporter, so I had no problem with him covering Glendora's game against Chino Hills. In a perfect world, we would have our own reporters at every game, but this isn't how it works anymore. We generally share stories when teams are outside our zone, and if a game is a game of the week, then it's the game of the week. I'm not going to pick and choose games based on who's writing the story, I'm going with what I feel is the best game regardless. We don't have enough of our own reporters to have every game covered, so if a Bulletin or Sun reporter can cover a game for us and allow us to have one more game scheduled for Trib teams that might not have anyone, that's how it's going to be. Some teams barely get any write-ups, and you're complaining about how a story is written? Enough with the complaining, if being featured out front with photo galleries isn't enough, we're never going to satisfy you.

Mike the Clone,

Thanks Man, sometimes I just can't get over the simple things. I guess it's in my quest to be the most efficient man on earth! :)

Hey Fred, I do appreciate the nice pictures, thanks!

You are right though Mikey. The haters will keep hating, nothing changes that, regardless how well a team performs. But, to call Chino Hills "an average team" as Anonymous at October 19, 2007 10:06 PM did, is like calling Brady, Romo and P. Manning average QB's. Give me a break. I got to laugh some times, according to some, all of the Tartan victories are against dismal "overrated" teams.

Tartans you continue to amaze me. You make us faithful very proud!

Back to gardening!

The Oline for SD just didn't get it done. No excuses, they are a good team and earned the victory.

It's like the Stanford/USC game... Things happen!

job well done to the tartans ,braves and the rest of the winners and betters luck to those who lost.

My apologies to the South El Monte fans for not having a story in the newspaper today. We had a reporter at your game, but he had major problems getting back to our office. By the time we tracked him down, it was too late to get a story in the newspaper. We will make sure you're taken care of well next week when you play Arroyo in what could decide the MVL.

We are not a very good team right now and the bleeding continues but the hope of winning in league also continues. Amat was in that game with the score 10-3 at half, our defense played their hearts out but were on the field allot and were running on fumes at the end. Our offense was horrible and they had spurts of movement and momentum but they are full of penalties and when they go forward they take 2 steps back with a penalty or a interception. The O-line is not very good and we got dominated once again. I feel sorry for our team right now but I never give up hope. Very sad and painful to watch that last nite. Keep your head up Coaches and Players it is not over yet. This I repeat is not a very good football team right now.

jhykron,
i know waiting on a couple of calls, diamond bar being one of them, i really like the idea of playing local teams, will fun for all and interesting.

BIG Props go out to the La Puente Warriors! After a shaky start, coach Hernandez and his staff have done a tremendous job getting the team on track. In just his 2nd season as head coach, Hernandez has this program headed in the right direction. The Bridge is alive and well!

Go Warriors!

AS A PARENT AND FAN OF SOUTH EL MONTE FOOTBALL, I HOPE I WILL NEVER EXPERIANCE ANOTHER GAME LIKE LAST NITE.. IT LEFT A BAD TASTE OF WHAT SPORTSMANSHIP AND FAIR PLAY SHOULD BE ABOUT...I CANNOT RECALL IN MY 15YRS OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL, SUCH A UNFAIR/BAD CONDUCT. OR JUST UNQULIFIED REFERES ON A FOOTBALL GAME... THANK YOU

FANatic,

Hey man, not to worry about this and that, what the Trib covers and what it dooesn't, plus what some of these "knucklehead outsiders" say about the "bagpipers".They know nothing of which they speak.

I say we just quietly go about our business do what has to be done,Then we can come back in here and step on their throats and make em' beg for mercy when we win the Sierra out right.

In another words let's don't sweat the small stuff.

You the Man FANatic. The young men did us proud.

Young "KALUZ" nice job young man. And thank you "Pasqy" for letting this kid mature and not plattoon him like that crap you pulled with the QB's last year.

Late!

Mike the Clone

IT BAD ENOUGH PLAYING AGAINST 11 MEN BUT WHEN YOU ADD ANOTHER FOUR, YOU HAVE TO BE A DAME GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM AND PLAYERS.. CONGREULATION SOUTH EL MONTE ON ANOTHER VICTORY.SORRY ABOUT THE REFS ADULTS BEHAVING BADLY....IT HAPPENS.. CIF GET RID OF THIS BUMS..........

What a bunch of bums those referees were at the SOUTH EL MONTE game, not only obvious infrations from gabrillano were not called like face mask. holding, chop blocks. but the referees would wait to see if any plays would work for south el monte, then throw the flag. long after he play was completed, touchdowns return,passes caught. long runs from scrimmage, were flagged.this guys dont belong in any football field CIF SHOULD FIRE THIS GUYS....AMEN.. FIND OUT WHO THIS GUYS ARE AND FIRE THEM...........DOES ANY HEAR ME?????/

CONGRATS TO THE GLENDORA TARTANS !!!

TOUGH LOSS ROSEMEAD ...WTF , SACK UP & GET A CLUE !!!
Congrats to all winners & better luck next week to those who lost . WHAT HAPPENED SAN DIMAS !?!?!? S_IT HAPPENS.

FIGHT ON !!!

TM

i was at the SD vs. Bp game last night and what i saw was a team with HUGE size along the line vs a team that threw thier bodies to try to get a stop. i guereentee if SD had that size along the line with the backs they have they would be ranked #1 in the valley, but with the amount of students they choose from compared to BP (who almost triples the size of the student body) makes it easy for BP to find guys to come and block for thier athletes. BP is good but they were winded by the middle of the 3rd quarter and need to get in shape to have a chance of running the table on league, as for SD next week against Northview is thier next "BIG" game since they have to get past them before thinking about playoffs. BP should win league and if they dont thats a dissappointment, but they do have that auora of figuring out ways to lose... San Dimas is fine and not overatered just simply overpowered by a bigger team they will finish second unless Northview knocks of BP week ten then of course there will be a three way tie for league... it might be a prediction now but you can come talke to me at the end when im right...

I WAS ALSO AT THE SOUTH EL MONTE GAME, THOSE REFERES SHOULD BE BANNED FROM DOING ANOTHER GAME. DISGUSTING. SHAMFUL, AND PROBABLY UNLAWFUL

HEY SGVTRIBUNE, WHY CAN'T SOUTH EL MONTE GET A DECENT WRITE UP, NOT LAST WEEK NOT THIS WEEK, WHATS UP, WHY CANT'T SELM GET ANY RESPECT FROM YOUR PAPER?????/NOT ONLY SOULD YOU MENTION OUR TEAM. BUT YOU SHOULD WRITE AN ARTICLE ON THE WAY THE REFEREES HANDLE THE GAME, DISGUSTING AND SHAMFUL AN INVESTIGATION BY CIF OFICE SHOUD BE CONDUCTED. WE GOT NO LESS THAN 30 FLAGS GOT THREE TOUCHDOWNS RETURN LOST OVER 300 YDS IN PENALTIES COMPARE TO GABRILLANO,6 FLAGS AND MAYBE 60YDS IN PENALTIES. WHAT A joke STILL WE WON..GEAT GOING KIDS..

Still love you man!

i am an outsider that went to the sd vs bp game last nite. let me tell you, that was a good game.. both teams seem to do ok. I have heard that both teams are better than how they played last nite. Whoever you are that said that the BP fans had no class... well you are soo wrong.. it was SD fans that had NO CLASS at all. they were not even cheering for their team, only making the same stupid noise through out the whole game.Its SD fans with no class. SD players: good game and enjoy the rest of the season... GOOD JOB BRAVES!!!

With this latest sub-par performance, especially given the way the Spartans lost last night, it's apparent that Damien needs to clean house at ALL levels of their football program.

to "thatone guy"...do you have anything AT ALL intellegent to say? because evrything that you have said "bahaha...." and "Nico Bareboner" is just trivial and a pathetic excuse to try and cover for your aboslute lack of intellegence when it comes to football and being articulate with your words.
You in HS still? If not, go back and take English all over again...maybe Nico Barbone can help you study, you know he is pulling over a 3.5 GPA...wow I think I need to say bahahhaa...
You are a sad story.
Anyhow, like it was said to mr. excellence...take the win with a little dignity, I didn't know that there was such a thing as a poor winner, but you are. You and that mr. excellence are a pathetic representation of BP. Poor kids, they are just out there playing football...

FANiatic is on the blog!

You know I woke up this morning, drank my brew, hoping to finally read just a sliver of respect for my Tartan boys after a very hard fought victory against everyones early choice for Sierra League champ. I'm a little disappointed. Not in our amazing team, but in the perpetual spewing of disfavorable remarks. I think the TESTING of the Tartans worth is OVER. There are only 3 games left before CIF and, still, some blogers feel the Tartans havn't had enough "tests" to comfirm their dominance in the Sierra League.

Fred, I love you man, but why on earth didn't your scoreboard work covering your so called "Game of the Week"? Why couldn't you or Steve be present at the so called "Game of the Week". Why did the Bulleton cover more of the Tribunes so called "Game of the Week"? And, why did you have, what seemed like, a "Chino Hills" reporter write the Tribune's story for your so called "Game of the Week"?

Were heard Chino Hills' Harris sustained injuries
in the second offensive play of the game, resulting in the Huskies losing 75% of their offense. Why not report that the Tartan's defensive super stud, Robert Horn, didn't play at all due to injuries suffered last game, star running back Marteney out all season with a knee injury and finally, defensive star Brandon Beckwith was severly injured last night with a compound fracture of his thumb.

The newspaper made the game sound like both defenses wern't at the game last night. Couldn't be further from the truth. The entire first half of the game, 7 to 7, was a defensive fight, rarely seen at any game. Chino Hills scored the majority of their points against the Tartan special teams and field goals.

All I can say is Chino Hills played spectacular last night, but the Tartans won with Skill, Heart and preserverance!

Sorry you missed the game Fred and Steve. At least you had the right picks this week!!

mr excellence....you are a complete idiot. Yeah that is directed right towards you...you are talking as if bp blew sd out of the water...2 touchdowns is not a blowout. obviously you are not a true sportsman, otherwise you would just take the win with pride. But no, you had to throw in there the whole white vs. mexicans thing. sd is a racially diverse schoo (I went there), so what are you saying to the mexicans on the team? And Barboner? how old are you? grow up and get some class...take the win with a little maturity...
There is no need to even go back to "oh last years game was stolen from us" we all know that the ref's in this league sometimes make some really crappy calls...on both sides.
This is not the place for racism...we will get shut down for it. If you want to voice those types of opinions, hold them for your "mexican" friends (who will agree with you) when you have a bbq/celebration of your HUGE win!!! Yeah HUGE!!!

Generalized Statement...

racism is just ignorance.......this blog is not the place for either.....but if ur just going to point out the one racist over the other....that is not fair to the other racist.....im just saying

They’re both absolutely disgusting and uncalled for.

Enough said!

Mr. Excellence is not a racist...he was stating how san dimas thinks, or used think, of baldwin park....he is using it against them.....i remember when i used to play, those jerks kept calling us "i b m".....itty biity mexicans...good time though

Get Real Dude, did u even read wat that white german MAN wrote......how can mr.excellence's state be worse...come dude

Mr. Excellence

Quit trying to play the race card in your posts. Statements about Whites schools, Mexicans ect. is just uncalled for.

Find a better way to get your point across.

what happened to that pac 10 headed stud from damien? couldnt stop a pass happy team like ayala? believe me kid u can bench and squat the planet but its not gonna help unless ur football smart on the D1 level. check the attitude and start playing some smart ball...ur position is overrated too...ur lined up outside the TE with a Dtackle lined up on the tackle on ur side

hey jjimenez>>>
can you tell me who is ranked #5 in the southeast division polls, and is undefeated in league? lemme give you a hint>> its the school from North El Monte... who you are jealous of... and who you wish you could be!!
ARROYO!! ARROYO!! ARROYO!!

haha rosemead is way over-rated... dont you think so, jjimenez??? stings, don't it? maybe you should stop telling people to fear the mead and all that war panther stuff.. cuz you just got beat by El Monte! haha 0-2 in the MVL! good job Lions! :) "ding-dong, the mead is dead! sing it high, sing it low, let them know the wicked mead is dead!"

Baldwin Park fans show no class or dignity in there win. Mr. Excellence post was just a racist person coming out!

Read it

not from 4th and goal on the 1 yard line....yea

thatoneguy at October 20, 2007 01:19 AM

Season still alive...

of course the colts have a chance....everyone does....as long as the san dimas 'aints dont make it to the playoffs.....and the way they played tonite, it sure looks that way

DUDE.... CONGRATS TO COACH HEGGINS and the B.P. BRAVES... WOOHOO ! SAINTS NO MORE ! PSSST! COLTS STILL HAVE A CHANCE!

i have to agree with ur worst knightmare...he brings up a very good point...this blog is meant for football and football only...not for hateful racial remarks...we are all one people....one race.....however, being in the would we live.....politics mixes with anything...even football....it sucks but thats the way it is....good point though

Who in the world thought rosemead would start 0-2 in the MVL>>? ME!
Congratulations EL MONTE!! you finally did it!! you defeated nosebleed!!! yay! We (Arroyo) are really proud of you Lions. good job!

that last comment was meant for NV VIKE....OOPS

mr.excellence at October 20, 2007 12:51 AM

relax buddy....

i never said BPs win was a blowout....all im trying to say is that San Dimas was "supposed" to win with a blow out. And the under dog beat an undefeated team....dont lose any respect for BP because that is what San Dimas did and lost to an "inferior" team

I cant stand it!! some of you people are so ignorant to bring up ethnicity as a factor in football... GROW UP!! i cant believe how immature and cruel you people are!! give credit where credit is due... and if you cant say something appropriate, dont say anything at all! please dont turn this blog into hateful disrespect. FOOTBALL AND POLITICS DO NOT MIX!!! EMBRACE DIVERSITY!

NV VIKE, no one said it was a blow out.....read the text.....

mr.excellence at October 20, 2007 12:51 AM

I think you're talking all the trash.

I merely gave you my opinion on the game. 6 points is a win but certainly not a blow out!

Grow up!

thatoneguy

i like the cut of your jib!

NV VIKE at October 20, 2007 12:44 AM

you think your good cus you beat a few teams from higher divisions! those teams we're the worst of they're divisions.

BP beat an undefeated team that was a sure win against them. it was supposed to be a "sure" win even if San Dimas played at they're worst and BP played at they're best....

feel free to talk trash after you play BP

hey, NV VIKE, scouted you guys a couple weeks ago.....nothing really to brag about....but hate to break it to you....u need more practice....A LOT MORE PRACTICE

mr.excellence at October 20, 2007 12:45 AM

Your written words/comments on the gray space proves the point!

To answer the upset parent who posted the question if DR has a head coach with any respect or class, the answer is "Yes". He is a coach that would fight for the safety of his QB and his Kicker. If you want to see an example of class watch the films and see how many hands the coach from LA shakes. Coach Layton lives and breathes football but nothing compares to the relationships he has with his players present and past as well as those that are part of his coaching staff. Attacking coach Layton’s character and his ability as a coach shows your ignorance and your lack of understanding in the responsibility of a head coach. He is out there to protect his players and to make sure that they are never in harms way outside the realm of the game. Watch the film and see the late hit and then ask yourself what would you do? Would you fight for your player(s) or run home after loosing and write on a blog how mad you are. LA had a whole Quarter without DR's head coach and LA was unable to dominate. If you feel that his coaching is that bad or disgraceful then WIN and prove your point. How can a coach with all his years of glory loose 2 years in a row to a young up and coming coach. Coach layton has showed his professionalism by always talking positive about opposing players as well as his own players. Attacking DR parents and fans because of your hate for their coach is like every parent from LA having the same morals as the LA coach for his recruiting practices. Coach layton will keep striving to make his team better and your comments will only fuel his desire to do better. I can not speak for coach layton players but I think their actions proved which team wanted to win more for their coach. Stop trying to stereotype DR and its parent’s and fans because of the city we represent. If we are so ignorant or not up to your higher standards then please refer to my earlier comment and “Win”. I feel sorry for those of you who have children and felt that it was ok to call out the character of coach Layton. He is husband and a coach but most importantly he is a father first. He has been nothing but a positive role model for his children and all those players he has coached throughout his years as a coach. What did you show your children? That it is ok to cry about loosing and to attack an individual because you didn’t get the outcome you wanted. I will follow in Coach laytons footsteps and those who represent the families of DR and that is to protect the players first and Win.

im guessing you didn't hear.....
last week a BP player was denied entry to the game....maybe im not the rascist one...this was said by their school officials...

"We're not letting THOSE kids in here!"
-San Dimas Administration

Baldwin Park just cracks me up!

You win by 6 and think there all that. Hate to tell you BP, but we scouted the game to, and it wasn't a blow out!

Anonymous at October 20, 2007 12:37 AM

wow mr.excellence, he really told u....feel good dont it

yes it is fred.

i know both backs were the heart and soul of there teams. but im pretty sure wilson will hurt a lot more without gilmore

yeah....hey i saw u at the game.....wow that san dimas......talk about a tune up huh....apparently bp cant beat slow dimas on their worst game......ha!!!!!...they had it coming after last year

mr.excellence at October 20, 2007 12:29 AM

Wow, you really make your city proud, by those racists statements. Change your name, because you're not excellence... Just a racist pig

Anonymous, I heard the same thing about Gilmore...It's sad, that's two great running backs down.

thatoneguy??? GBUS!? dat you!? lol

FYI: Glendora fans, the Bulletin has a full photo gallery on their prep page of your game tonight.

mr.excellence at October 20, 2007 12:29 AM

you tell them......bahahahahaahahhahahaha

iv seen mcbride with a cast. aslo tim gilmore possibly out with a MCL sprain.

its a very weird football world!

the valley seems to be like the college football.
not one team dominating like they should

Anonymous at October 20, 2007 12:15 AM

Tell your coach to step up instead of stepping out! LOL

Anonymous at October 20, 2007 12:07 AM

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

By Carroll he meant the defensive coordinator, the ad's son, not the 75 year old man. He meant the coach of the defense that chokes and cant stop anyone

Baldwin Park beats San Dimas, now they think they've won league. Maybe we might have something to say about it. Don't go talking alot of smack Braves, because the season is still young.

Anything can happen...

NO Class
What them kids need is a O-Line like Glendoras
Ahh to dream, what that must be like.
Addison and the boys really stepped it up tonight. Great job Men!

Congratulations Baldwin Park!!!
Coach Shannon, this is Dan from work, I'm happy for you guy's, I knew your braves were a tough team from the way you had us[West Co.] on the ropes, good luck the rest of the year, & see you monday.

Out coached again. Coach M must go! Too conservative in the 2nd half. Coach M must go! 2pt conversions?? Coach M must go! Loads of talent, but no coaching. Coach M must go.

thatoneguy at October 20, 2007 12:02 AM

Here comes the classes cholo jokes from BP

mcdogole at October 19, 2007 11:52 PM

If an oline doesn't doesn't do their job, no RB can win the game on their own.

Mcbride, Barbone, Gilmore, Snowden, Harris Nobody!

You guys wished you athletes like the above.

C.Oak 55 West Co.28,
OUCH !!! That one hurt, Betty B, CO Bro. & all you other charger's congrat's on your win and enjoy your year, you guy's have a real good team over there. Our boy's are having trouble this year with fast runners, once they get through our
"D" line there is no consistent 2nd or 3rd line of defense to stop them, our kids try hard, but
with our lack of experience & speed its hard to catch those fast boys.
This dark cloud does have a silver lining,, our freshmen & jv won so maybe next year we'll have a better shot at your varsity, hopefully our teams will continue to play each other.

WOW
Pasqy had a sierra title at Damien

Hey Bloggers just got back from CSUF watching the Servite Friars (5-1) take on the Orange Lutheran Lancers (6-0).

Servites DJ Shoemate waitied until the 4th quarter to explode. it was 7-7 after 3 quarters then the Servite Friar eruption.

Servite Friars 28
(6-1)
Orange Lutheran Lancers 13
(6-1)
FINAL

Really can't believe San Dimas lost tonight, ouch.
Glendora, South Hills, Charter Oak, and Covina great wins tonight.

Oh yeah, I stopped by to catch the 4th quarter of the Los Altos/DRanch game Thursday night and Los Altos had that game won if they kick a field goal instead of go for it on 4th down and come up short, because the next play from scrimmage DRanch's 1st down was the bomb to Brandon Sermons for the victory. Yes, this is Rodney Sermons from AMAT folklore's little brother and he was throwing tacklers aside to get into the endzone for the victory. What a game.

Sound off people & listen to next weeks 2 Minute Drill.

-Big Reg

nico who? thank god he has one more year to get faster like he did this year...... hahahahaha!!!

slow = nico.

baldwin park never lost a game against san dimas at home. i guess baldwin park is still not going to be ranked after beating the #5 team. oh and what was that about bp not winning even if sd played there worst and bp played there best.

Scotty, take that wannabe basketball coach Matt Dumb with you as well. He'll never be Coach LeDuc.

Glendora Sierra League Champs football and basketball!

Scott Morrison, you piece of trash, know nothing, empty headed, lacking football knowledge, poor coach hiring, unable to understand schemes, unwilling to unleash talent, unable to read a defense, not capable of putting forth an effective offensive game plan, worthless midget!

For God's sake-QUIT NOW!

hugh jazz??????????cheeto???????
nico?????????

that sure was a good band slow dimas had....they shut up the bp band.....but slow dimas still lost...
bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

anyone see that san dimas-BP game?
that nico barbone is full of it
go braves!

those san dimas saints were weak sause

those san dimas saints were weak sause

The only thing good thing about San Dimas is thier band because the team stunk. I hope Baldwin Park is getting thier heart back like in the earlly 90's. Good Job Braves I guess you should be ranked above San Dimes this week.

one word to slow dimas:
"bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...."
good luck next week
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

does anybody play any defense in the sierra league? And is there any speed? My gosh glendora's 2-0 and they arent very fast

Carroll from damien? You mean the 75 yr old athletic director? What the heck did he do?

Oh well here we go again...haha...but YES its Coach Martins 1st reign at the helm...not TOO bad but its not to be this yr.

Chino 49 Diamond Bar 36

rgd2626:

Yeah, I heard all those. Any clue about the week 2 game yet?

Morrison and Carrol both lost this game. These bloger's are right it is time to step down.

Coach Scott Morrison and his entire staff should be fired for the worst coaching in a HS game ever. Just ask the Ayala coaches they will back this up. Damien used their time outs at the end of the game to let Ayala set up their offense. Did not use the clock wisely. HAS NO CLUE ON WHAT TO DO ON A ONSIDE KICK. This was a discrase to be so unprepared all season.

what happened to the days when damien and bishop amat had quality football programs? My how times have changed

rgd2626,
I agree we'll have to see how CIF seeds us.

Verti, I feel sorry for you. It looks like you will gonna get another ass roasting buy some pissed off boosters and alumni again and again.

Do yourself a big favor, turn in your resignation and end the suffering and humiliation!!!!!!!!

charter oak and south hills,
best two teams in valley right now,co looks very good

los altos games next year ---
charter oak
diamond ranch
wilson
bonita
san dimas
south hills
northview
west covina
ayala

Bassett beating Gladstone in 3rd Qtr? Typo? This has got to be the biggest upset.

Condgraulations to the Baldwin Park Football Team. Your defensive line deserves all the credit for the win. The Saints Oline just didnt come to play tonight. It was a battle won in the trenches and your boys upfront punked our line. No excuses!

Saints turned ball over way to many times!

Again your guys played a great game and need to be given alot of credit.

Saints, keep your head up, re-group and get ready for the battle next week.

anyone got the B.A. score?

Bishop Amat another Quality Loss
San Dimas OOPS

Charter Oak is looking scary !

it was worse than that. damien was on ayalas 3 yd line 33-20 with 90 seconds left and fumbled. ends up 34-33

Congrats to BP, hey FREDJ
could you delete my recent post? I didn't mean to make the page super wide.

Fred, you called it in the two minute drill. turnovers gave the Braves the breaks the needed. Two interceptions and a fumble ended 4 qtr drives. The Braves defense played tough. Also a questionable call by San Dimas to go for 4th and goal in the 2nd qtr with the score tied 6--6. A field goal would have changed the momentum of the game. The Braves stopped them and then drove for a touchdown.

recap, anyone?

who did what?wat happened in the end?time,score,names,etc

any1?

Glendora squeeked by an avg chino hills team. the sierra league is terrible and this makes glend the best of a terrible league............competitive yes, parity yes, but not very good. BTW, how does damien blow a 14 point lead with 2 minutes left? Oh my gosh whats going on with the athletics at that school? Embarrassing

was at tartan game. All i can say is oh my god. Best game i have seen in 25 years of watching prep football. Got to hand it to glendora. What a game!

Glendora playoff hopes? Proving to be the best in the sierra is one thing but the inland valley division is OWNED by the schools down the 15 freeway. The sierra and the baseline have combined for only a couple playoff wins the last 3 years. Its called everybody in HS is a big fish in their own little area. Step outside and win then you've earned props. Good for the Tartans tonight but let's not get carried away with playoff hopes people.

UHH HUMMMMMMMMMExcuse me but pacurrela had a cochampionship 2005 so what

BTW S.H. 42
Walnut 3

being undefeated is not as easy as it seems to be SAN DIMAS,so much for that, now you can stop all that crap about being the best in the vally, welcome to the world of the lose column.vale vist is up for grabs!

Is it true Diamond Bar lost to Chino?? I just recieved rumors but no confirmation.

Dan,
I was at the L.A.- D.R. game and your right on, D.R. did not impress me as # 2 in the valley should against a decimated L.A. team. The Conq's defense was shutting down D.R.. Los Altos fans should be proud of their team those guys fought their hearts out.

UH OHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Posted by: Anonymous at October 19, 2007 09:50 PM

Glenodora must have scored late for this guy to be this so excited.

Close games aren't good for GHS.

especially now that their play-off hopes wil be elavated

San Dimas waaaaaaaay overrated they looked bad in the first half last week againts Pomona and was bad start to finish against BP. Will be lucky to beat Northview.

Big props to the SD band!!!

Anyone hear of some CIF rule that keeps the band from playing when the opposing team breaks the huddle?

sounds awesome!good for pasquy!!finally getting to put up a sierra league title.couldn't happen to a nicer guy.take care of business against ayala/chino who are still definately threats and then don't overlook diamond bar but looks like the toughest part of the league is over and they are 2-0!thats fantastic!!

a well now the rosemead lost against el monte and they are going to beat the knights it leaves them boys from down south with that chanpionship run south all those people that said different we well just put and exclamation point next week against who o yes those fools that call them self knights

a well now the rosemead lost against el monte and they are going to beat the knights it leaves them boys from down south with that chanpionship run south all those people that said different we well just put and exclamation point next week against who o yes those fools that call them self knights

Wooooooooooooow
if you missed the Glendora vs Chino Hills game, you missed what ended up being the game of the year!!

Glendora 27
Chino Hills 20

This game was so exciting!!

Glendora is the best team in the Sierra League.
Glendora has past the test, big time!!

Ayala 34 Damien 33, Damien had the lead 33- 20 with under two minutes left and blow it, another embarrassing loss for Damien, Morisson Coach of the Year, thats my vote, pshhhhh

the bulldog are going to kill on Charter Oak on firday foo just go see the game man go bulldogzzzzzzzz the score is going to be 58 to 7 going to the bulldogzzz

BIG BAD BULLDOGZZZZZ RUF RUF RUF

Dons' the Man...
Like so many, you down play San Dimas High School...
Here's the deal...
Losses....
Charter Oak - 1
Diamond Ranch - 2
South Hills - 2
Los Altos - 2
San Dimas - ZERO - that's none...
Call San Dimas whatever you like... but you can never call them loosers... because unlike CO, DR, SH, and LA... they don't loose... CO, DR, SH, and LA, on the other hand, have lost... that doesn't make them loosers... or does it?

Posted by: March On Saints! at October 17, 2007 01:40 PM

Everyone seems to like knocking San Dimas... at the end of the season, they'll be undefeated while all the others will have one or two wins. Granted, they don't compete with some of the higher ranked teams because they're not in the same leagues, but at the end of the day... San Dimas is the best team is a very good league... in fact, they will do what none of the other teams will do, they will go undefeated... so, DR, CO, whoever... you can't claim what SD can claim... because you lost... plain and simple... San Dimas handled everything CIF has sent at it... and others have not! The Saints are a much better team then most people think... the fact of the matter is this... no one who continually slams the Saints has ever gone and watched them play. They enjoy excellent coaching and they take the team approach to the highest degree. They have a few great players and the rest are all very good... They have great line play and their linebackers play with as much intensity as anyone in the SGV. Before SD get tossed under the bus... as a "good team that doesn't play anyone"... you should go and watch them play... any game you attend will be a win... unlike DR, BA, CO, or whoever....

GOODLUCK TO YOU AMAT TONIGHT AT ALEMANY...

I'M ON MY WAY TO THE MATER DEI GAME SO I WONT BE ABLE TO CATCH THE B.A. GAME. HOPEFULLY, AMAT WINS AND VERTI BECOMES A LITTLE SMARTER AND TRIES SOMETHING NEW WITH HIS TEAM. THEY NEED THE WIN.

little Scooty fritz are'nt you just the creative one.................heeellllloooo LOSER

green eyed monster,
It is what it is

dan,
mean machine has like 10 different names.

I love L.A.
Mean Machine is that you? It looks like your writing style! Anyways if its you I hope your doing well, every once in a while I see a post that looks like your writing.
I wasn't at the game but I got to agree 100% with you on Gano and his staff. To hang like that against D.Ranch with your three biggest players injured just shows again that Gano & staff are a quality program, I too amm impressed and don't understand why some of the L.A.fans are whineing, I would like to see what this team would do if they had those three players.
This also beefs up South Hills argument as to being one of the best teams, if not the best, in the SGV, as it appears they handled L.A. much easier, and that was when the L.A. team still had McBride.

GOOD LUCK WEST COVINA!!!

Glendora/Chino Hills game will be "rockim sockim" for sure. Hope no one is injured.

Hey MIke The Clown ,
Your a real meathead,LA fans are living in the past just like the other meatheads on the other side of the pomona frwy . Their's a new sherriff in town and its DR. And will get only better once all the great players in north Diamond Bar realize they need to stay at DR instead of taking their kids to LP.

Dennis Greene would say,

"The Panthers are who we thought they were!"

"What..What...They thought they were."

"We played them last year."

"Who the hell takes last years game likes it's bulls**t?"

"We played them the 1st game in league."

"Everybody played 3 Quarters."

"The Panthers are who we thought they were."

"And that's why we took the damn field."

"If you want to crown them."

"Then CROWN there Ass!!"

"BUT THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!!"

"AND WE LET THEM OFF THE HOOK!!

Good luck West Covina

Bottom Line is Los Altos had em beat ! DR was gettin stuffed since the 2nd quarter. I know DR is no # 2 team in the valley, more like #4 or #5. The following weeks will bear that out . So DR enjoy it while it lasts.

really
not me, the first ive seen or heard of since ive been following, playing, and coaching.

In 40 years of football I've never seen a Varsity Head Coach get kicked out of the game! Any one have a different experience?

Bryce was on crutches today at school, and had a cast on his leg, so I'm assuming it's broken, or a major knee problem.

At this rate LA better hire on an orthopedist to get through the season,

What is up with the African American meltdowns in coaching at the HS level....what next he is resigning too? He let the hood come out of him and not he is supended and he will be back..hope he learned his lesson...looks like OJ didn't

Thomas Clarkson is back next week for D Ranch they really did need him last nite!

So what yeah it was wrong but things happen hes human just like you!No 1 is perfect its not like he's the first coach in high school history to get kicked out a gm so stop complaining like a female it is what it is D Ranch #1 LOL

All this talk about Bryce Mcbride being injured are just excuses. Diamond Ranch's best WR/FS was injured for that game, plus 2 or 3 other key players so it is what it is D Ranch won fair & square with alot of referee controversy. Also D Ranch D line & LBs played shitty they need 2 take out 1 whole pratice & go back 2 the basics tackling drills, its like D Ranch plays up 2 the competition instead of just going out their & just smashing a weak team like Los Altos.But they hold Oaks Christian to just 7points in the first half I really dont understand, but what I do know is D Ranches Play calling SUCKS very Bad they could have beat Oaks Christian if they had better Offenceive Play calling,their Offenceive Coordinator really needs 2 get a better scime or call better plays cuz right now he's so predictable I thinks hes thinks he's playing Madden at times LMAO but other then that D Ranch is #1 this week & through out the rest of the season D Ranch goes undefeated in League this was just a wake up call!!!!!

yes,
good luck glendora, allways root for the local teams

Thank God were not hateing on Glendora at the moment!

Beat Chino Hills tonight.

Go Tartans!

wasthere
you have no idea what your talking about, he was hiding,they had to stop play to tell him to leave,knowbody on here has questioned his ciaching ability at all, not once , just the lack of class, yet not one, i say not one dr person on here will admit what he did was wrong.you guys won, you guys are the bomb, but that was wrong

Jason Whitlock has a agenda just like rush limbaugh. Every week i read the same recycled story about black athletes and hip-hop. i could careless. He talks a chad johnson every single week. All he is doing is palying towards his fans whom like to read negative stuff about black athletes. He should talk about some of the positve stuff some of the athletes do. let me guess they do nothing positive.

Layton went to the corner of the endzone to apologize to his AD and principal, then left the field. He did not challenge the ejection nor did he try to remain on the field. He also apologized to the players, refs and the opposing principal after the game.

Good. Now onto football!

sgvpride,
Dont even argue with these people in this blog. It's pointless.

Why would I be surprised? I thought hip hop was Latino, Black, Asian, and White. I see all colors living the hip hop lifestyle. Look at K Fed or Malibus most wanted.. I dont care what color a person is. Dont call people racist for having a different point of view, thats a cop out.

amat would beat both these teams

either of them

actually DR beat LA last year

RANCH ROWDY,

You don't get kicked out of a football game as a head coach period. It is the head coach's responsibility to lead his team he can't do that from the locker room. Your actions dictate your perception bad calls, missed calls, or blatant favortism are no excuse to seperate a coach from his team.

I have been reading the blog for awhile now and I find that so many people make comments that are so ridiculous.
If you really want to know why Layton was tossed it may have started with the hit on the punter, but it really had to do with a non-call that occured right in front of him.
You see, #8 qb was running toward the sideline and as he was going down a LA defensive player came on a late hit, after #8 was down, and led with his helmet. NO flag was thrown for the late hit, but #8 was flagged for an obscenity.
I do not see how anyone who was at the game could have missed that certain play. It happened just prior to the punter being hit a down or two later.
Sure, we the fans were upset with the referees. It was the most intense game for us because of how LA had beaten us last year by not more than three points at their place.
LA played with heart. It was even said that DR played tough, even with all the penalties. Last night's game was reminiscent of the game against Ayala, where DR again committed so many penalties.
LA will always be a tough game. Why? because, as bloggers before me have said, this is the MIRAMONTE LEAGUE. THE TOUGHEST LEAGUE IN THE SGV.
After the game Layton was very humbled. He did not mean to be thrown out. He was trying to ignite a fire under his own players because they WERE playing flat. As far as him being a classless coach, I think all of you would think differently if you really, actually spent some time with and knew how passionate he is about coaching this team.
Layton has fire and drive. No comment he has made in the press has ever meant to be incendiary. He just tells it like it is and has the utmost respect for ALL of the teams he plays.
Those of you who are bagging on him and saying how bad of an example he is, well, you people need to look in the mirror a lot more often. The only people who light fires and create animosity are those of you who have nothing positive to say about any opponent. Why? because all you care about is YOU!!
Grow up and get a life!!
If you think you are so hot and all-knowing, then why don't you get up out of your bleacher seats and get on the field and coach. I guarantee you won't because you can not handle all the negative press you would receive. You can't handle all the pressure that comes with coaching 60-75 antsy, highly strung, emotional, hormonal teenagers. You leave it to those of us who have the patience and the desire and heart, and you sit back and backseat drive because you are ALL BARK AND NO BITE!!!

Actually yes it is. Go talk with the store owner tepi. I bet you would be very surpised to see that its not a "brotha".

So many racist in the SGV! Its sick

opinion,
i gree with most of what you said BUT
this has been going on at dr for years, i went to there second game of the season, it was the same old flagrant fouls, has never changed, and you say what you want to about the coach, but did you notice after being told more than one time to leave the field he went the coroner of the endzone and squated down behind someone to hide him, im glad the refs saw that, and you call that class, what is he teaching these kids when he does this, then his asst, comes out in the paper to say he did it on purpose,that had to be a missprint or missquote,and i hope when he realises he was wrong about the play he says sorry guys i made a mistake,
after saying that, i congratulate dr, they won the game, scoreboard,a good team but not as good as they think and a well coached team but you need to show these kids sportsmanship also, again nice game dr, you won

"Everyone in the valley knows that the only weapon Los Altos has is McBride."

Actually, LA's problem isn't so much that McBride is their only weapon, as much as that all their other best weapons play the same position. As proven last night.

Layton doesn't do anything on a whim. He calculates moves ahead of time. I don't think it was so much the calls but more of a rally cry to get his team started. Almost backfired, but if you stuck around after the game you would have seen the players all hug him and pick him up. Before Layton left the field he brought his team in a huddle and gave his final orders. A battle cry to pump his team! I don't know what was said but it must have been poetic. It is obvious after the game the players love and respect the coach and were not going to let him down no matter the score or how much time. It was a site to see. Gano is the wise Owl, but Layton is the Raven. He is a trickster. What we all saw as a penalty now looks very calculated and planned. Whose players believe in their coach more? The ones who gave up a last second touchdown or the players who had their back against the wall, with little time, but lots of pride , love and confidence, who scored a winning TD to beat a top ranked Los Altos team for the sceond year in a row. Oh, Edgar Allen Poe would be proud!

Oh, store13
whats the 13 stand for?
something positive?

sgvpride
You are the one who is amazing.

You people don't know anything. There many styles to the hip-hop culture. Many possitive ones. You don't believe me go check out Store13 in west covina. Across the street from edwards.

The last post I can see it now what kind of person you. You see group of "brothas" and I could already hear what you would say.

Now isn't that a nice example for a parent.

sgvpride...looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...when the real thugs shoot your kids in the baggy clothes I don't want to be the parent who cries on TV , ""But he's NOT in ANY GANG!"

Sorry. Let's get back to football.

Peace!

Re: Los Altos vs DRHS

I think that it is a shame that this great game is being turned into some kind of fiasco. In all actuality, my hat goes off to Los Altos. They put together a great game plan and like all great coaching staffs, they prepared their team very well. In addition, don't take away what the kids of Diamond Ranch accomplished last night. 39 seconds left in a game: To protect a QB long enough to through an 83 yd TD pass. To be the QB and remain composed when you know that your throw as huge implications. And to be that reciever and concentrate long enough to catch the ball and determine enough to score. These are great accomplisments by kids who are well coach. Coach Layton is truly a fine example of good man who cares about student atheltes. Many of us who are teachers and coaches have had moments of excitement on the field. Being ejected from a game can be a result of many factors. There were no exchange of profane words, it was simply a case of a coach who was heated from some bad calls. In the history of coaching, there have been many great coaches who have been ejected. Unfortunately, what people remember of you is not all of the things that you do but rather the last thing you have done. To call a man despicable and an embarssament is to insult the very fabric of the man and discount all of the time that he and the rest of the coaches have invested in this team. I wish people would choose to imploy some level of discresion when it comes to people they don't know, students-atheltes that they don't coach, and programs that they don't know anything about. In the end, Los Altos and Diamond Ranch will make it to CIF not because of the quality of athelete they have but rather from the quality of coaching they have. Good luck LA next week, you have tremendous heart. Good luck DR, you are on your way to great things.

Lightning doesn't strike twice. Really ? Ask Lee Trevino. He's been hit at LEAST 2 times! lol

Could ND go 2 for Southern California teams(UCLA and USC) ?

with McBride Abdul Jabaar out things are going to go south real fast for the concks. Imagine all that hype for nothing
i agree that the concks missing the playoffs could be imminent.

i feel bad for gano cause he is the greatest coach in the sgv

RIBBING, I KNOW USC LOST TO UCLA 2006. What will UCLA do this year ... Yet to be seen , but I highly DOUBT lightning will strike twice for Karl Dorell.This week our focus is on Notre Dame .

TM

correct me if im wrong, but wasnt that Tillis FIRST PLAY OF THE ENTIRE GAME?!!!, others have said it, its more preperation than anything. DR played a good game but surpirsingly so did LA, i was impressed they almost stole a victory, but now its gonna be super tough without mcbride

Bottom line is Los Altos has Tillis and he got burned and he is no football player. Masquerade farce of a football player. Gano is a idiot if he did not discover this long ago.

Mike the clown, Los Altos will not even make the playoffs.

All Los Altos has is McBride. One star is not going to get it done. D'Ranch coach pretty much gave his game plan away defensively but it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out stop McBride and Los Altos is beat. How many more teams will copy that approach and beat Los Altos this year. This was no Accident even with Rodriguez and Contreras stopping McBride was the key going into the season, it makes it so much easier now. The next thing is you over use him to compensate for a non existant passing game and you blow him out with a injury and his college offers get jepordized. I pray this does not happen to this talented yound man with a brite future ahead of him. Hope your coach is not one of those type to do this at the expense of winning a game in a season that is going nowhere.

Posted by: Los Alamo at October 18, 2007 11:01 AM

I told you this would happen. I did not like it one bit that Bryce got hurt. First play I know and this could not be avoided but your coach has overworked Bryce since he got him and now what?

KARENGA LIGHTING A FIRE ON THE BLOG!!!!!!

FREDJ JUST CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT

Trojan Man...Carroll will be happy to hear that! lol...maybe one year too late...ouch!

Jason Whitlock lays it down. Minstreling baffonery. Dr. Karenga used to lecture that this kind of behavior is a cancer and a disease that African Americans continue to foster. I remember once in class a few minstreling brothers came into class 20 minutes late with their pants around their a$$es and the caps sideways and big T-shirts and jerseys. Covered in fake bling. Really does ANYONE believe that 2 carat earring in EACH ear is real? Dr. Karenga stops class and uses the next 20 minutes to break the brothers down. They stood there looking down at the ground the whole time. It was brutal and sad at the same time. Next class period the brothers to my amazement, and I'm sure to many others, DID THE SAME THING! Kwanzaa originator, Dr. Karenga had NO AFFECT on these young men. Dr. Karenga just shook his head in disgust and told the class, 'There you have it!" And that's a shame. So to all you brothers out there, keep up the minstreling and outlandish behavior with the hip hop culture and thug behavior but when you find the world cold and unwanting don't say anyone did it to you but yourself. Been to an ALL STAR basketball game lately? Last one at APU was a joke after the game with brothers yelling at cars and standing in the way of people trying to leave. Mistrel away my brothers and see where that gets you. Even Snoop gave up his 6..4.. for a blue Porsche. I know. I honked at him the other day on the 57 fwy and when I gave him the thumbs up he finched thinking I was threatening him. Man I counldn't believe my eyes. Million dollar wanna be thug living in fear...my ride? 2005 745 BMW, wow! how threatening is that? Wait isn't that the car that Tupac got smoked in? Word. Peace. OUT. Lates. Teach. Preach. Whatever makes you listen. (o apologies required)

I hear Karl Dorrell might be available here pretty soon .

GANO TO AMAT!!

Make it happen, Msgr!! Put out the $$$, make the call to some Alumni to help with the $$$!!

This needs to happen - -

Everyone in the valley knows that the only weapon Los Altos has is McBride. Yet, with him out of the game, LA still had the game won against arguably the best team in the SGV.

I agree with "I Love LA". There are not many teams anywhere that could lose all their offensive threats and still put up 24 pts against a team like DR.

My hats off to Los Altos for almost pulling away with an upset despite playing without 3 of their top players. I rooted for the underdogs even though I am not an LA fan. The tank may be on empty but alot of heart and courage made up for it.

Just wondering after what will be a "just dreaming" slew of possible Amat piners. I also imagine what Amat should have been last year before all the transfers but then I go up to the players and not 1 transfer on LA's team is even 5'9"? Saenz? McBride is maybe 5'7? Tamayo is maybe 5"8"? Tillis is 145 maybe? Hey don't get me wrong they all play with incredible heart. Maybe learned at Amat or nutured at LA but ultimately THEY are having the time of their lives. And isn't that a great life lesson? Making the most of an opportunity. Best of luck to all the Amat transfers where ever they are. To the complainers just think it gave your kids at Amat more playing time. It's a win-win and not a whine-whine. Get it?

Any friggen JAA coach would know that rule. Punter is fair game when the punter has the ball and is a run threat.

Layton, Crutch different coaches same bullsh *t

DRanchhhh

When the ball is hiked and it touches the ground before the punter can kick it, the little sh*%@ is fair game plain and simple.
Obviously Coach Layton doesn't know the rules.
Glad he got kicked out that dummy.

You guys got lucky and you definitely weren't the best team on the field last night.

Los Altos will go farther in the playoffs for sure mark my words.

Out!

Mike the Clown

i went to the game last night...
as an unbiased observer, i saw the game as a well-played defensive struggle, with both teams exchanging scores. i was wondering why mcbride didnt play (i arrived late, and missed his injury).
yes the refs missed a few calls, but it was a good entertaining game.

im guessing the DR coach was argung the non- running/roughing the kicker called, but he got ejected because he went on the field and threw his hat at the referee...its like in basketball: you cannot run onto the court (for ANY reason, lest to argue)or you'll get teed-up, so he got his.

it was a good game nontheless

when i played football against LA dwayne despain was the coach...does anyone here remember despain, and if so can anyone compare him and gano?

thanks =]

Just Dreaming :

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT . Winning /Competing for PAC5?
A BIT OF A STRECH ...
No doubt all of the players are doing well , but to assemble a group of stars like that .Remember Lakers 2004.

Fred as usual what a great bit of info. YES the punter is FAIR game after the ball touches the ground. Layton SHOULD have known that. In fact so should have his players. Apparently neither did his players, except the punter ---WHO NEVER COMPLAINED! It was a head's up play by the Los Altos player. Nice clean hit by the way.

As far as ANYONE questioning Coach Gano and his staff. Here's some insight, as long as no one gets offended, rememeber it's a comparison. Imagine Damien without Pertusati, Rabe, Mc Mahon ? Imagine Glendora without Addison, Kovar, and Klunzanzy (sp)? Imagine Charter Oak without Swoden (sp), Allen and their best defensive player? (apologies I'm not familiar with their team for the most part) What about Ayala without Baca and Ayala's 2 other stars? Get the picture.

Los Altos inserts #29,#1, and others to make up for Mc Bride? Inserts a new TE and DE? Makes up for the lose of 2-way star Contreras, Plays with a 5'5" safety, a short gutsy QB, and a stud in #29 and gets it done against the new "king" of the valley. LA marched down the field in the second half with guts, smarts and coaching inspite of NOTHING! DR was over run time and again. Short timely passes and HARD HARD running kept DR on it's heels consistently. With those missing players, LA wipes the floor with DR. Gano and Co. might have missed that last call but it's a credit to the team and fans that they showed the class they did. To the many that will use this opportunity to spew hate and stir up controversy the game is over and DR won. No one is disputing that but to a player, coach and fan---EVERYONE IN THAT STADIUM WAS IN AWE OF HOW TOUGH LA WAS TIME AND AGAIN WHEN IT WAS THEIR TIME TO FOLD. That's why they are Champions and easily the class of SGV. In my opinion.

Best of luck to both teams. Before I left I spoke with CO's Drew Carreron dad and told him they would have their hands full with LA. And he agreed. That's going to be another SGV War! High school football RULES!!!

Wow another former Amat transfer in Sermons making the difference for Dranch.

Can you imagine with a great coaching staff at Amat and having McBride, Wagner, Bonilla, Sermons, Tony Adams and Dorian Wells as scoring threats? With that kind of talent, no doubt we would be in the run for a PAC5 title.

DRanchhhh at October 19, 2007 08:56 AM

I agree with alot of what you say except Layton going off.

A coach can disagree without going off. Now, he's out for the next game... Doesn't make much sense!

I find it funny that people make excuses for decent, I repeat decent teams losing. Had Sermons not caught that ball(the 83 yd pass to cap off the win against league rival LA), there wold have been no B******* and complaining. However because he does and that lifts DR over LA, there are a million excuses. Why doesn't #5 Miles get any credit for playing smash mouth football? He was responsible for the hit/tackle that sent #5 Bryce to the sidelines for the game. No team has been able to put a helmet on him all year. By the way Bryce will be a GREAT running back at any level and I truly wish him a speedy and progressive recovery.

The fact is that someone blew coverage on the last play from scrimmage for LA. Call DR overrated and all of that good stuff, but when you look at the archives for Robledo's BLOGS, you guys dont even mention DR often. It's always CO, Damien, Glendora, SH, etc. The point i'm making is that OUR YOUNG MEN went out there and played football. They DID NOT GIVE up at all the until the final horn. You guys want to wine about that holding call, YOUR 1 and ONLY holding call btw, opposed to our 11 holding calls that cost us almost 70 yds rushing. How about that 45 yrd catch from #8 to #10 for DR that was called out of bounds when both feet made it in? How about #74 or #75, not sure, literally giving our kicker #14 a helmet to helmet shot after the kick. By the way #14 weighs only 165 lbs wet. And #74 or #75 for LA was by for way larger in size. He knew he wasnt going to block that kick. DR got bad calls all night. In games against Edison, OC, CH, we got a total of 4 holding calls. In LA with healthy linemen we get 11?? Come on You guys lost fair and square and thats that. Give credit when credit is due.

And another thing that bothers me is the sportsmanship factor. When you see a 290 lbs lineman NAIL your 175 lbs kicker, that would freak you guys out as well. Might I add, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE FJ, LITERALLY. NO CALL?? BS!! Thats why Layton went off. If your goin to tell the whole story tell it right. How about Our Big guy #55 nail LA's punter in front of the REF without a call? Stop making excuses for the lack thereof. Not only was DR missing 2 starters, but 3 of them are still playing with serious injuries. And there playing @ 100%. Our young men believe in what they do, and given the wins (5-2) and the close one @ Edison, you should too. Suck it up and get ready for DR to take MIRAMONTE this year...

Fred:

Layton must have been pretty disrespectful to get kick out. A coach doesn’t get kick-out for yelling about a call if he’s within the limits of the language barrier…

It’s his job to lead by EXAMPLE

MAYBE GANO AND HIS COACHING STAFF CAN START COACHING INSTEAD OF CRYING ALL THE TIME IT SEEMS IF LA DOES"NT HAVE A HAND FULL OF DIV 1 PLAYERS THEY CAN'T WIN.GANO WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD///////...

LA Conq, I hope that's not true with McBride. Seriously, to have three superstars go down in consecutive weeks? I feel for them, and give me some time reaching Gano. I'm not calling the man at 8:30 in the morning after a tough loss like that the night before.

As far as what happened with Layton, this was what was described to me:
Diamond Ranch, leading 14-10, was punting from deep in their own territory with a minute to go in the third quarter. A low snap was bobbled and the ball was on the ground. The punter picked it up and was hammered just as he kicked it. By rule, if the ball touches the ground the punter is fair game. That's when Layton started screaming at the officials, got two flags and was ejected.

All you LA Fans talk about Gano doing a great job. Sorry to say but if your kids stepped up and played a great game but you had lots of mental errors. That is called not prepared, aka bad COACHING.

If your defense wasn't in the right formation at the end of the game, a good head coach would recognize it and call a time out.

A good head coach would prepare a team for a game so they wouldn't be making those mental mistakes that you are talking about.

A good head coach would be working with the quarterbacks in his system to prepare them for a game like this. Not recruit one or two or is it three now from other schools.

A good head coach would do more coaching and less recruiting.

But what do you expect, you have a coach that was an assistant coach for three years takes 13 years off then gets the head coaching job at LA.

Freddy...

Rumor on the street is that McBride's leg is broken! Call Gano to confirm please!

WOW . Great game DR . I NEVER thought you could do it . I have only seen you play ONE TIME @ RHS when they DESTROYED you in a playoff game ...YEARS AGO . Obviously a different team . Best of luck the rest of the way . ALso GET BETTER # 5. I wish you a speedy recovery .

GO TARTANS
GO PANTHERS
GO TROJANS
BEST OF LUCK TO ALL SGV

STAY HEALTHY

FIGHT ON

TM

I didn't see the game last night, but Reg Miller called in with updates, and our reporter John Honell told me about it afterward. Give all the credit in the world to DRanch, it's another great win. But if you would have told me Los Altos would have the lead that late and without McBride for nearly all of the game, I never would have believed it. If you're a Los Altos fan, forget the play that cost them. For those coaches to have that team ready, and then adjust after losing McBride on the road was an incredible job. It's why Gano and his staff are who they're. Hopefully McBride's injury isn't serious, but I'm sure the Conqs will give Charter Oak all they can handle next week regardless.

STOP@ 7:24.... need some help here. my friend is siding with Los altos. why are they so upset with DR. what to know before i start discussion

LOS ALTOS FANS STOP YOUR CRYING. YOU GUYS LOST AND THATS WAS IT... DONT START WITH DR COACH HAS NO CLASS AND THE FANS HAVE NO CLASS AND HOW YOU GUYS WERE UP WITH 30SEC LEFT THIS IS FOOTBALL ITS NOT OVER TILL THE CLOCK IS AT 0.00. DONT BLAME THE COACH AND DONT START WITH YOUR #5 PLAYER WASENT EVEN IN HECK THAT KID SHOULDENT EVEN BE THERE TALK ABOUT KARMA HE SHOULD BE AT AMAT...
BUT HEY THINGS HAPPEN...
PS. GOOD LUCK WEST COVINA BULLDOGS....

Just a question. How does a kid from amat that is a senior transfer to los altos, while his little brother plays on the chater oak frosh squad?

DR simply beat LA! By a point or 40 points. A WIN is a WIN! It does not matter what happened now, because its done and over with. Yes DR did play down in the 2nd half, but they were missing two starters. #44 got hurt and #2 didn't play. Yes I also recognize that #5 from LA also got hurt. Maybe he would have won the game for them.But these teams were both missing players, and the refs made some bad calls on both sides of the ball. So before anyone starts bringing up excuses, remember that you weren't complaining when that "call" or "bad play" was favoring you. Both teams played their hearts out, and good luck to both of them in league.

Fred J, what do you think of your snot nose, classless coach now?? Huh?

Fred J, what do you think of your snot nose, classless coach now?? Huh?

Why was DR coached ejected?

LA Conq:

#25 is the strong safety. 58 and 35 are the normal outside linebackers, backed up by 33 and 29. Though I'm not positive who is supposed to play where in the nickel package... apparantly nor was the team.

BTW are you certain about the timeout? I could have sworn at the time LA was out.

As for the holding call, c'mon. There WAS a hold... nevermind that it was 10 yards behind the play and the ref didn't throw his flag until #25 was in the endzone.

Diamond Ranch High School's football team, fans, and staff have ZERO class. I've never been so embarassed for an opposing team in my life. I feel bad that those kids will never know the true meaning of what high school athletics is all about.

Los Altos is 1-3 in itheir last four games giving up 31 points a game.

LA is 0-1 in league looking 0-2 right in the face.

just cause you can recruit doesn't mean you know how to coach LA

I Love LA...

Well said, I stand humbled.

Just please let the record show I never questioned Gano. As I said, I think he called a fantastic game considering what he had out on the field tonight.

Our defensive play calling all game, specifcally at the end was suspect, to say the least. D Ranch was not that good. We should have won, even without #5.

Went to see the Los Altos /Diamond Ranch Game with an open mind. Seeing as DR was being touted and LA was being euphanized. Well I must say I have never seen a better composed team than Los Altos. I've played , coached and watched football for 40 years and I stood in awe of Gano and his staff. I've died and gone to heaven. Talk about a composed, well coached and single minded team. Gano at Damien or Bishop Amat and his teams dominate with ease. They play a 5'5" safety. Corners who can't cover but never give up. #11 gets burned deep to put DR ahead late in the game and what happens. NOTHING. No one yells at him. Just A big lineman comes over and pats him on the helmet. 9 plays later this same kid catches the go ahead score on a perfect call, perfect throw, perfect catch in the back of the endzone. The players on the sidelines are all focused and incredibly being coached. That's a credit to the staff and the vision of getting the next ones game ready. How LA nutted up and came strong at DR was incredible. For the DR fans who will yell scoreboard tghink about the TD that was called back with 2 minutes to go on a holding call by a WR on a CB that towered him. Was it a good call..not sure the call by Gano or the refs. As far as the kicker non call on DR he was either going to run or kick and kicked it as he started to run. Great NON CALL! But that's the game no crying or whining just a great high school game but Gano outcoached/schooled Layton all night. Ran the ball down DR's throat with ease using a variety of overachieving (don't tell them) backs. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TEAM PLAY WITH WHAT THEY GOT LIKE LOS ALTOS. LA doesn't get the credit it deserves for the class and conduct of its fans. FIRST CLASS! After the game the LA cheerleaders went into th estands and cleaned up all the 'support banners" . How many schools do that. Maybe Bishop Amat is in a class all by itself in the SGV but the LA fans are the class of the Valley. Sure there are the "coaches" in the stands, as evidenced by some bloggers here, but overall the fans never lost hope until after the horn sounded. Best place to learn the game correctly. I was surprised as someone said with the coverage on the last play but after seeing the reaction of the players and fans I know everyone at LA dies together, plays together and wins together. Now the what if's. With #65 and #84 and now #5, LA is clearly the best team in the SGV and Coach Gano and staff are doing the best job coaching I've ever seen. EVER! I WAS IN AWE!

LA CONQ...think about your whining. Gano plays the "best" team in the valley without his 3 best players and totally dominates the game. DR could have throw over the top all night no question. But if Gano had more he would be playing them don't you think? Really don't understand your points unless it's just to pretend you know more than Gano and his staff. NEWS FLASH>>>YOU DON"T!!!!!!!!! And doesn't that make LA effort so much more remarkable? Why complain?

On the ride home I thought maybe Damien could "recruit" Gano over to Damein but then it hit me . He's right where he belongs. Congratulations Caoch Gano it was an honor to see you do your thing.

DRanch...

You wanna complain about bad calls? How about LA scoring to go up 31-21 and the refs call it back on a phantom holding call.

But the Refs aren't why we lost. And they aren't why your coach got kicked out. We lost cause we made dumb mistakes. And Layton got kicked out because he can't keep his cool...just like his players.

Conq's still had one time out left at the end of the game. And of course I'm not talking about #2, he was at free safety. I'm talking about #25...he's no DB.

I completely agree about the mental mistakes. And I'll go with option 3...blame both coaches and players.

"I stand corrected. But having five DB's with four of them 7 yards off the ball can easily be mistaken for a traditional cover 3 with outside backers."

#2 can never be mistaken for an outside backer.

"Regardless...They should have called timeout and run three deep safeties."

They burned all their second half time outs... at least one was to get the offense lined up right.

That is one seriously alarming trend with the LA program, though... the mental mistakes on the field have been getting worse these past few seasons and I've never seen it this bad. Blame the coaches? The kids? Both? Neither?

haha you can be winning for 5 min but you cant hold on for 40 sec thats F,,,N amazing right their a good team like Dranch fights threw it and comes out with the victory even with the bad calls. WOW WHAT A GAME THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE GAME OF THE WEEK. WHOOOO DIAMOND RANCH WHOOOO

Los Altos is 1-3 in itheir last four games giving up 31 points a game.

LA is 0-1 in league looking 0-2 right in the face.

just cause you can recruit doesn't mean you know how to coach LA

I stand corrected. But having five DB's with four of them 7 yards off the ball can easily be mistaken for a traditional cover 3 with outside backers.

Regardless...They should have called timeout and run three deep safeties.

DR is #1 . Bring on SH in the playoffs. #10 for LA thanks, you couldn't stop our receivers all night.

L.A. Lover, sorry I rub you the wrong way. Go ahead and blame it all on me.

Dranch game was ruff the refs were calling fav all night the calls where bad even coachs from other schools were saying that aint right. so Come on. Layton gets kicked out because the refs faild to call a ruffing of the kicker after he kicked the ball.??. Does some one need glass's
CIF needs to look at the tapes and suspend these refs or send them back to ref school. geesh. anywho a win is a win even in bad conditions..

LA Conq:

No, I'm telling you LA did not CALL cover 3 on that play. They ran their nickel package (you did notice there were 5 DBs on the field, right?), which is certainly not -supposed- to camp in a 3-deep zone and let the corner get isolated and outjumped.

In hindsight, though, I wish Fair had just ran his normal 4-3 "cover 5" (cover 3 1/2?) and leave it to the defensive front to shut down the play. It may not be conventional wisdom, but at least it's something these kids can do.

L.A. Lover, sarcasm does not work on the internet. I think that is why your post makes no sense whatsoever.

diamond ranch has no respect what so ever they were supposed to be this top program but they have no class and their fans have no class one was yelling at to the football players this is diamond ranch country

p.s. los altos needs a new DB coach

JHykron...

Please tell me you're not defending the defense on that last play? What did you see happen? Maybe I missed something.

"I don't even know what else to say..."

No, you obviously don't, since you are completely off on what Fair -called-, which as often happens, has little to do with what happened on the field. Or do you think Fair told his D to go into goaline on the 30 yard line in the first half too?

FredJ,
Diamond Ranch beat us fair and square on the scoreboard and I will give credit where credit is due but please tell me you are still going to defend his attitude, behavior, and choices like tonight's outburst. His actions were despicable and his players are also a reflection of him and what I saw for the first time tonight everybody else has already said on this blog and that is both Diamond Ranch's players AND coaches are out of control! The officials running off the field couldn't be quiet long enough to know how they felt and they were disgusted too! I think the word is unsportsmanlike?! And I am sorry for expressing myself and you're right I probably shouldn't be participating in your world so instead I will speak for so many happy families throughout the Valley and say keep up the good work! You should of heard how many people were complimenting you in the stands tonight! You're so well respected and liked throughout the Valley! I am sorry FredJ after tonight I realize where I was totally wrong about Diamond Ranch's head coach and you were entirely right! Don't quit L.A., we still believe in you and next week we get a chance to redeem and prove ourselves and are going to beat the Chargers!

Thoughts on the Los Altos coaches' loss to DR:

1) #2 did not get burned...#10 did. #2 was the free safety and was shaded to the other side of the field (more on this later). But #2 did miss a tackle at the end of the play.

2) Bryce McBride went down in the 1st quarter and LA still moved the ball. DR is not nearly as good as advertised folks. Los Altos was without McBride all night and their players still stepped up and had that game won.

3) Defensive Coordinator Lee Fair should resign tonight. Let me lay this out for those of you who were not there: 39.1 second left in the game. LA is up 24-21. DR is pinned on their own 17 yard line. They have been throwing over the top of the Conq's defense all night long. What defense do you run?

ANYONE who has coached, played...sh!t, even WATCHED any football knows you go at least two deep safeties...probably even three or four deep 30-40 yards off the ball and keep everything in front of you! WHAT DOES FAIR CALL?????? That's right football fans! He calls a cover three with one deep safety and his corners rolled up 7 yards off the receivers! And what happens? The ONE deep safety flies to the trips side and DR throws to the isolated receiver on the opposite side for an 83 yd TD!!! ABSOLUTELY F%&#ING EMBARRASING!

Conquerors should have won tonight...the defensive coaches lost the game. Gano called a great game considering he lost McBride early on.

I don't even know what else to say...

Dan,
It's what I heard from one of the players, not 100% accurate I guess now.

WC,
Someone who is affilliated with the program
has told me since he's been there Amat has never
contacted WC to play. That doesn't mean Amat wouldn't play WC.
As far as WC trying to schedule Amat, I haven't heard anything about that. If it happened it would draw a lot of interest though.

Let me guess...#2 = Tillis?

LOS ALTOS HAD THE GAME WON!

#2 got burned for a 84 yard touchdown.

one play!

one freakin' PLAY!

Man this one hurts!!

GANESHA IS BEATING NORTHVIEW, WOW

We are now back up so visit our Scoreboard - Week 7, for updates.

Ganesha 0 Northview 20 at the half.

Ganesha 14 Northview 13 Halftime. I cant believe what I'm watching.

due to our servesr being down at the Tribune. our prep football scoreboard can not be updated at the moment. Here are the current scores. Los Altos 7 Diamond Ranch 14 end of 1st QT. Ganesha 0 Northview 13 end of 1st QT.

Dan,
I heard that WC has tried to play Amat for 5 seasons now, I guess Amat likes to get pounded by D1 teams.

WC,
Hope its true about West Covina & Servite, looks like coach Maggiore wants to keep playing a D1 school in the preseason, I assume the contract with Mater Dei was 2 years, if so that means it would be up this year.

WAH WAHHH!

LOS ALTOS THIS LOS ALTOS THAT..

I got five on it they are gonna lose.

They arent the same team everyone fears to play in CIF.

IDGF bring them on

ATTENTION: Coach Maggiore is meeting with Servite High School in order to get a contract for next season.

conq fans,
Sounds like you guys are getting a little worried . Read the same article, but not between the lines as you guys put it. Coach Layton paid respect to the team and players . What he stated was just facts because right now the defensive game plan is to make Tamayo win the game and hold McBride to as little as possible which is a hard thing to do.

i dont see any problem with Layton "telling it lik it is", Gano should of taken it as a challenge. And isnt saying :

"We're not going to sit there and be predictable, we're going to do what we normally do."

doesnt that mean YOURE GONG TO BE PREDICTABLE??

C'Mon Gano Light a fire under these kids asses, yea there is a time to be buisnesslike, but i think now is the time to play with a chip on your shoulder, play with enthusiasm, and kik some ass! shock the world, conqueror nation!

Read closely, people
It's like when Layton said in the paper that he wanted to play amat. Some knuckleheads took THAT as disrespectful. He actually said he wanted to schedule good teams and would love to play amat. Again, sounds like a compliment.
Props to Layton for providing some insight to what he's thinking

Layton wasn't trying to start a fire, and I say that because I'm the one who had the conversation with him. That's the problem with the printed word I guess, it leaves a lot to the imagination, and for those of you who like to "read between the lines."

Jeremy,

Is it true both Los Altos and diamond ranch freshman are undefeated?

I have to agree with both sides.

Layton does sound like he is trying to start a fire. I'm not implying that he is running his mouth, but come on read between those compliments.
On the other DON'T take it so seriously.

As far as Gano, again read between the lines, I'm sure he wasn't too thrilled with what Layton had to say, but what is he going to do, respond as a certain dirty bird from the 210 would?! Gano is a professional with integrity. As all the Conqueror Nation should.

don't worry about it Fred l.a. lover is just frightened that's all.

Amen Fred, I don't think Layton was calling them out at all. I have a much better sense of the game and how he feels after reading his comments and Gano's comments. L.A. Lover, relax, it wasn't a big deal AT ALL.

I give Layton credit for speaking honestly, and I don't think he meant any disrespect at all. It's better than the same old cliches, and you get a feel for what the coach is feeling, which is refreshing.

Here's a coach who says great things about Mahmud-McBride, is that disrespectful?
Here's a coach who gives a tremendous compliment to Rodriguez, and points out what a loss it is for Los Altos. Is that disrespectful.
Here's a coach who acknowledges that Los Altos is having problems passing the football, which is not a secret, and emphasizes their need to stop McBride. Is that disrespectful. Again, it's a coach being honest and fair.

L.A. Lover, people like yourself take this way to seriously. You're the problem.
If a coach sidesteps a question, everyone calls him on it. When he answers them honestly, suddenly he's being disrespectful.

You can't have it both ways. It's people like you on this blog that stir the pot, and make more out of of something than it actually is.

Does Diamond Ranch's coach have any respect for anyone including programs, coaches, and athletes. He says that in the paper after Los Altos and Gano have accomplished so much for so many years? We brought them into the world last year and tonight we will take them out of the world! Gano I would personalize what he said in the paper about you and your team! So much for professionalism these days in sports. No wonder and now obviously anyone can realize why Diamond Ranch plays and has the reputation they do and that is because they are a reflection of their coach! Win a C.I.F. Championship better yet win League before you act like that in the paper! Just disgusting! And shame on you FredJ to continue to antagonize every team, coach, and player every day and week with your "rag" paper!
