Saturday Morning Quarterback: Charter Oak, San Dimas and South El Monte all come up big

Every body acknowledges that today's life is expensive, however some people need money for different stuff and not every one gets big sums money. Thence to receive good business loans and just car loan should be a proper solution.

Go suck an egg Warrior and good luck in your Junior All American Bush Pee Wee league.

What happened to Lp not playing anyone and being lucky this season? Where are all you anti-Lp fans that said we were going to get our asses handed to us by Duarte? It's quiet now because we're the #1 team in Lp and better than ur Bishop Amat Lancers, haha! We Rocked Du Roc take note everybody we da best in da world!

Amatster

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ! I knew Mark T & grew up in Rosemead iwth him , he was a GOOD GUY ! We needed him @ RHS

john, taylor is a new coach and i'm surprized he is coaching varsity. he may of played for the irish back in the 80s and is in good shape, but what kind of coaching experience does he have and what does he know about strength & conditioning for a footbal team? i'll tell you, he has no coaching experience & knows absolutely nothing about a real s & c program because back when he played it was different from what teams are doing today which is all year round weight trainning and access to the weight room whenever needed. out with the old and in with the new. this program needs to be under new management and rebuilt from the ground up. the only coaches that belong there are mccuctheon and spoon. mccutcheon has the means, sources, knowledge and spoon has experience and knowledge. people think spoon was just a pop warner coach. he coached alhambra's varsity for years and freshman at amat for years. great position coach and knows how to motivate players.

Dam'n first time ever visiting this blog and I must say I'm overwhelmed with the fans and parents comments. I read most of the post and you all have similar complaints and concerns. You all have great ideas on how to change things there. I wish you all good luck and get rid of Verti! I read enough and have seen his track record along w/ DiFiori to know he's got to go and is not the man for the job! Fire Verti or resign bro. Do your "Family, Friends and Fans" a favor! The 3 F's you been scored as a coach and quit!

The paper had mentioned if the Lancers were good there would be more talk about Frank Lopez. Yeah right, the guy is ineligible due to grades! When was the last time you heard of one of Amat's star athletes being ineligible cause of rades, "NEVER!" What is going on over there? Everytime I turn around there is something new going wrong at the HS. Amazing the problems going on at Amat. Send your letters and e-mails to Msgr Carroll, the principal and ahletic director Monzo. You can e-mail at Amat's web page bishopamat.org or simply do what all the other fans are doing boycot & don't come to the game! Last week was bad, hopefully no one comes this week!

Oops....I meant Mediocrity....my misspelling rhymed so well with Complacency though.

Speaking of financial losses. I usually spend $25 at an Amat home game. That would entail 2 tickets $10, Food/refreshments $10 and $5 for 50/50 tickets. They didn't get my money last for the same reasons why other loyal fans choose to stay at home. Do the math, if you loose 1000 fans per game that could add up to around $12,000 to $15,000 per game. Not to mention playoff money and souvinier profits. That's alot of dough to ignore.

So my take to Msgr Carroll, is that if you're too ignorant or arrogant or both to continue to IGNORE the pleas of the fans and alumni that help build the program, you might as well be stupid enough to cut the hand that feeds you.

This attitude breeds complacency and mediocracy....isn't that what where the state of Amat football is?

Prep Watcher,
As an Amat parent who has been involved with this program for over twenty years. It really frustrates me watching a power house hit rock bottom. There definetly needs to be change and soon. Before open houses and test dates come up. So students can make their decision on whether or not to attend Amat. With a new head coach like Daylon McCutcheon that can attract many players with his name in itself. Also, he can bring much more experienced coaching to help the program. I agree, you do need a coach that is experienced to take over this program. I also think that the coach that takes over. Needs to be a Mater Dei, Orange Lu & St. Bonoventure type of coach. Coaches that know the catholic or private school system. A coach that has pack5 or D1 experience. There's alot that comes into play. I played college ball and know it is a huge project. It takes tons of knowledge and time is a big factor. Anyways, it was sad seeing the stands empty. Hopefully, that is a huge statement to the faculty. They need to see that the sales on friday night have plunged. They lost thousands of fans and cash last night!

DID ANYONE GO TO THE GAME OF AMAT VS NOTRE DAME?
AMAT DID SCORE 30 POINTS AND I WONT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM THEM BUT THE POINTS WERE SCORED ON A 2ND STRING OFFENSE...IN THE FIRST HALF IT WAS 37 TO 7...28 POINTS WERE SCORED IN THE FIRST QUARTER AND A HALF.OUR DEFENSE WAS SCORED ON AT WILL. AMAT SIMPLY PLAYED A BETTER COACHED, AND STRONGER TEAM. THE OFFENSE HAD NO RHYTHM UNTIL THE SECOND HALF...BUT, IT WAS AGAINST A 2ND STRING DEFENSE. THEY COULD HAVE EASILY RUN UP THE SCORE BUT THEIR COACH DECIDED TO LET THE OTHER PLAYERS ON THE BENCH PLAY. IT WAS A GOOD GAME TO WATCH AS I WATCHED THE STRENGHTS OF DAYNE CRIST(QB FROM NOTRE DAME). THAT KID IS BIG AND STRONG. HE THROWS THE BALL WITH EASE AND HAS GREAT ACCURACY. HE HAS A STRONG ARM. I REALLY THOUGHT THAT THE SCORE WAS GOING TO BE ANOTHER CRESPI LIKE GAME. VERTI REALLY NEEDS TO LEAVE THE PROGRAM IN THE HANDS OF A MORE EXPERIENCED COACH.
DONT YOU ALL AGREE? THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THE STANDS WERE NOT FULL AT ALL. ALOT OF EMPTY AND OPEN SEATING. THE ATTENDANCE WASNT WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. I REMEMBER GOING TO AMAT GAMES WHEN MY FRIENDS PLAYED THEIR AND THE STANDS WERE JAM PACKED. THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE. HOW SAD, HOW THE ONCE MIGHTY AND PROUD HAVE FALLEN. AMAT CAN TURN THINGS AROUND IF THEY JUST HAD THE RIGHT LEADERSHIP......JOE AMAT,AMAT 83...WHATS YOUR TAKE ON THIS?

dam'n 51 to 30. what a shame. bow your heads down and pray. for amat football is done. a thing of the past. verti is going to be the coach known for losing and eventually quiting like his mentor and counter part difiori. think about it.

I forgot to say thanks to AMAT OT. It means alot! -Amatster

Ouch. Amat losses 51-30 and it should of been worse. ND put in there second and third string guys. I went to watch the Amat game tonight. What happened to all the fans? There was no one there. I arrived at 6:50 thinking there was going to be no parking. The parking lot was empty and so was the stands. No tailgating in the parking lot as usual. I could not believe it. I heard it was worse last week. I heard without our band in the stands there may have been about 50 people total there at the game. How sad is that? Another one of Verti's stupid tactics to turn away loyal fans. First, you bring with you the losing tradition and then you tell people that they can't have a good time with family and friends. When is this guy or the school going to wake-up? Don't punish the fans cause you get yelled at for not doing your job succefully. They must of lost about 15 thousand dollars in sales tonight. Back when Amat was a power house Amat brought in over 20 grand a game. Note that Msgr. You all are fools if you think Verti is your guy. He's been there for awhile and brings nothing to the table and shows me nothing. Your all gonna go down wishing you listened to me, but by then your kids will have graduated from Amat a "LOSER"

Go to Amat's website and send the President, the Principal e-mails voicing your opinion and e-mail Verti tell him to resign. I keep doing it and stop going to the games. Protest and don't go. Verti must go and his staff. The only guys belong there is McCutcheon and Spoon.

Put it this way I've been up north on vacation. Sorry, things didn't turn out as planned. Still a die hard Amat guy. Amat put high school football in california on the map. There was Amat football then there was the rest! Literally wishing they were us or a part of us. Guys practiced hard and gave a good scout team look. Without them we were not a team. Guys that backed up our first string players. Could of been studs at the local high schools, but chose to be a part of something bigger and hopefully waited patiently for their opportunity to start and knew that they may not ever get it, but they were what you call loyal! Hopefully things turn around for you guys I'm outta here. Too many people hatin' and asking questions that are personal...good luck! -Amatster #9

Yes I know M. Tullius crazy white boy. Great offensive lineman. He played at Sac too and scholi'd to Brown Univ. Pro boxer and MMA fighter. Do I know my stuff or what! -Amatster

Yes I know M. Tullius crazy white boy. Great offensive lineman. He played at Sac too and scholi'd to Brown Univ. Pro boxer and MMA fighter. Do I know my sh*t or what! -Amatster

Will the person posing as Jeremy Smith please stop. He is in a facility right now for choices he made.

Rogers and Woods now those were some coaches that everyone respected and loved to line up for. I played for them and can remember the look in their eyes come game day. As for Patricio, played for him, hated him, but he turned the program around and everyone everyone killed themselves for him and the program.

As for the freshman QB whos dad is an 82 alumni. If he pulls his son that would be something. If it is the dad that I am thinking of, he like me, would have done anything for the school. That is all we knew and supported.

The admin has driven many of us away and their lack of respect to the people that make up Amat. I will always be an Amat football honk but the school needs a change. The AD has as much backbone as a worm. He can make no decision on his own and I have seen it first hand. If you are going to put someone in that position than give him the authority. Be the AD that you were hired to be not a puppet.

Back to football, it all starts in the weight room and conditioning. Eliminate the new weight room and put it back under the stadium. That was a time when kids worked. The weight room is off limits unless a coach is around, well it is never opened. I have talked with other alumni and if we had that weight room we would have been in there all day long. As for Khole being the strength and conditioning coach, that is a joke. All the young coaches are friends and tied together. The strength and conditioning position should be given to Coach Taylor. That guy was rocked when he played at Amat and he is still in great physical condition, maybe he knows a thing or two about conditioning. Just a thought.

The freshman tailback should be working extensively with Coach Taylor but will Verti allow it, not sure.

I shall start this again. Msgr. Carroll must go!!!!!!!!

If Amatster is Jeremy Smith, my hat off to him. Great receiver. Saw you in that big game against Fountain Valley....big effort.

I think there were some receiving and completion records broken in that game, although we came out on the short end of the stick. Brian Harmon to Smith connection, what a hell of game though!

No one to this day got one over you.

AMAT OT

I heard that Smith was thrown in jail. Is that true?

J. SMith/AMATSTER

DID you know M . Tullius? He graduated in 90' too .J Carrillo ..???

FIGHT ON

Amatster,

Like dude oh my gosh grow up. Your so Al Bundy bro. I was "All World" back in high school. You weren't better than me. I have a name it was "Big Time" everyone called me "Big Time" you know like "Prime Time" everyone that is a Amat fan knows of "Bigtime" come on I scored 6 td's in one game and had over 300 yards that day. I'm somebody bro I play pro ball in the "NIFL" you know the "National Indoor Football League" were we make a huge amount of cash my signing bonus was $500 bucks and I made $6800. bucks last year and our bonus was free food at the local restaurants and a keg in the bus for players that do drink. Big bucks buddy for the year. Alright Al Bundy...

Amat fans and parents,
Voice your frustration tonight by boo'ing. Its a free country & look at the Laker fans they boo'd Kobe. It wasn't right, but who cares. Enough is enough! So, lets do the same and make it known that we wont tolerate it anymore! Lets give them 4 touchdown spread. After ND scores their 5th touchdown start boooooo'ing that TD and every othe TD after that. So loud, that they can here you back in Sherman Oaks! If you don't wanna boo then simply don't show up to the game (go on strike) or walk out in the middle of the game & join the tailgate parties outside!

True Amat,
We are going to go 2-8 this season. So it would be appropriate to call you a True Loser! Lmao. -Amatster

To all the Amat faithfuls,
Please send the President, the Principal and the AD letters or e-mails voicing your concerns about the program, getting rid of Verti and hiring someone qualified for the job. Hopefully Verti steps down and I'll tip my hat to him, good man. The ony two that should stay at the varsity level should be McCutcheon and Spoon. The rest should go bye, bye with the True Amat guy. There all part of that t*tty bumping crew! -Amatster

True Amat,
What is your name? You must be CIF Player of the Year! This is Jeremy Smith "Class of '90" my stats, records and awards speak for itself. Thanks for the Al Bundy complement! Polk High 5 touchdowns in one game, but the real Al Bundy actually tried out for the Pittsburgh Steelers before he went into his acting career! -Amatster

Amat Old School,
Waking up early saturday morning after hearing several horns honking at me to wake-up! I wake up and I'm at the west entrance to the parking lot at Amat. My vehicle is full with three other players on the team, haha. I was still tanked from celebrating our victory friday night, I must of went straight to school and slept in my vehicle. I guess we were was afraid of being late for films, haha. All the other players had brought donuts, drinks and their was a line of cars. We would all be reading the paper, talking trash to whoever got their picture in the paper and laughing having a good ol' time like we were at a tailgate party. Then coach would pull up, unlock the gate and the party was over. It was back to business! Coach Parardes, Rogers, Haggs, Davoren, Spohn, Martinez, Avalos, Salter, Sparky, Stan the equipment Man days, but I heard stories of Woods, Markem and Patricio! "The Glory Days" -Amatster

Amatster,

Driving drunk as an underage teenager? No one wants to hear about you glory days especially when you don't leave a name, Al Bundy.

Golden Jug Liqour,
If I get tanked at one of the home games. I would end up getting 86'd from Kweefer Stadium forever or I'll never make it in the game... haha Kweefer Stadium sounds appropriate for the kind of play that has been going on lately, hahaha! -Amatster

Justrab,
I totally agree with you 100% the program is in a "State of Emergency" The only hopes of change is that Verti resigns! I doubt highly Monzo has the guts to fire a coach and I know for a fact that the president of the school thinks everything is fine. Just right now I got a call from a friend and his wife. They have been season ticket holders for the past twenty years. They told me many of their friends and people they usually see friday night in the stands stop coming to games. They asked if I would want their remaining tickets this season because they are so upset with the coaching staff. They also asked, if a new coach does not take over the program next year. If I would take over their season seats till a new staff took over. How sad, everytime I look around someone else is gone or someone is telling me their not coming back. These are good people, fans that have been loyal to the program for many years. Some of them are gettng old now and they can not put up with it any longer. It has been going on for over a decade now and things are not going to get better unless change occurs soon! -Amatster

Amatster,
The solution would be to get tanked BEFORE you go to the game. We have plenty of parking and are located right around the corner.

Amat,
Haha. U seen that hit Acuna made in the Carson game? That guy is special. I've seen him lay out a few guys. He's going to be an over-achiever. For a minute there, I'm pretty sure he was averaging one big hit a game. I love it, absolutely love it! I love to see players lay the hat. This team I hope can bring things back to the norm. Its going to take alot of work and prayer, lol. Seriously, I don't know what those officials at Amat are thinking. -Amatster

Amat,
This guys been around a bit to know Willhans Ili is an over-achiever. Willhans Ili was a freak of nature. Joey Getheral the fastest player in the history of Amat another freak of nature. Eric Bienemy another freak of nature. If you looked at these guys you wouldn't think anything, but on the field these guys were giants. The Ili guy was a site to see being triple teamed and still making plays, but the hing that stood out in my mind about this player was the fans loved him! The defense would walk of the field in the payoffs after a big stop. Ili would celebrate, the crowd stood up, roared and waved these white towels. I never in all my 30 years of watching Amat football witnessed the cowd so into it. Crazy, those were some of Amat's best glory days! -Amatster

I watched the frosh game against Carson, and this Acuna kid #7 is the real deal. I saw him hit that Carson TB like a pick up truck. Took his lights out and they had to take him out of the game for awhile. High fived his parents who happened to sit next to me, told me he played for Snoop dog during his JAA days at Rowland.

Pretty good hit for a 13 year old kid. Hope we don't lose kids like him.

Amat,
Spoon's a good position coach, no doubt. I may have never played for him homes, lol. But I have played for the best defensive co-ordinator ever to come through Amat and that's Coach Rogers! Anyone disagree? Bar none one of the best HS defensive co-ordinators ever. Check his team stats from 92-94 it was ridiculous. Team's rarely scored. -Amatster

Amat,
Merit Hemenway has his hands tied. The self appointed President calls all the shots. MHemenway just posted in the Amat website today no alhcoholic beverage container on the premises. I can't watch another game sober, lol. I'm going to have to call it a year. All these rules being enforced to mess with fans because their losing. I hope the fans boo this friday if things get out of hand. They need to hear it, maybe they'll do something about it! -Amatster

Amat,
Sean Koelle is the strength and conditioning coach, lol No wonder our varsity players look like cream puffs, haha! -Amatster

I'm going to have to agree with the Amat parent. The free safety #7 on the freshman squad is and probably could be the hardest hitting free safety to come through Amat. That tailback #5 is no doubt the player that Amat has been waiting for. He is a D1 back, he has moves, he's big, fast and strong. -Amatster

GHS Freshman and chino hills frosh are gonna have alot of great games over the next 4 years,nobodys even close in the sierra league, though damien lucked out this year agaist ghs frosh, dont look for that to happen again, ghs frosh rocked co frosh, tied eldo and missed extra point for win. chino hills is only school that can hang with these boys.ghs best 2 frosh played varsity this year, look out sierra league dynasty coming

I think that MHphd ( and the RSM President ) felt that he should resign to "spend more time with his family" : )

His next best option was to come back to amat so that MSGr could be President (and defacto principal) without much push back. MHphd pretty much has his hands tied too.

Anyone out there dispute that?

Agreed!!

Leave SPOON out of this.... If there is anyone that bleeds more Blue than Spoony, I'd like to see them.

Though I'm sure Manzo will chase him too!!

:-)

Peace

83'

I'm not going to stand by and let Coach Spoon get slandered by some idiot poster who has never played for the man. Many parents will agree with me that coach Spoon is a piss and vinegar coach who brings intensity and knowledge everyday to practice and games. He has coached many of our elite athletes for the past 15 years at Bishop Amat.

Don't disrespect the man because he has too much credibility.

My comment regarding the freshman quarterback has nothing to do whether he plays varsity next year or ever, but rather is a reflection on the state of the "Program" as his dad is an 82 alumnus and I assume has raised him on Amat history, games, the whole shot only to possibly pull him from the program.

There is too much history to have a few bad apples in Amat's management group (so to speak) allow the whole school to run downward. Additionally, non-athletic families came to Amat for its dual athletic/academic program and I am sure there is a revenue (tuition) equation for the school to see the football program ripples through that whole campus. It always has and the schools demise or future success is deeply rooted in a stable program.

Patricio came to Amat in 78/79 and had the program from unranked in the valley to Big Five Conference runner-up in 83. He even had them highly ranked in 81 with the a lot of the SGV All Valley squad being composed of Amat (6 players) . Prior to that Amat had not had but 2 players in 6 or 7 years.

Where is Hemingway in all of this mess? Is this what he came back to Amat? He could have stayed at RSM or the new JSerra.

Wilhans Illi is that overachieving player. All 5'10" 270lbs of pure muscle.

Thanks Joe!

As also a Father of 2 Graduates and 2 more to follow in the coming 4 years...

I too hope that the ship gets righted soon!!

Peace

'83 = True Lancer

We need guys like you back!

Martinez went to Paraclete, took Coach Hagerty with him later on and turned their program into a CIF Power. It doesn't take much.

We'll keep hoping!

Oh and another thing...

Great call on Patricio!! Yes, it was a great time with him, Woods, Rogers, Martinez (The Dean, remember him??) Avalos etc... The old coaches office on Saturday mornings!! (Remember the smell???)

What ever happened to "Old-School" coaches like that???? Man, I remember you wouldn't even want to look those guys in the eye... They could scare/intimidate the $h!t out of you, but you would go through a wall for them!!

Peace

83'

Agreed, Joe.....

Just a little fyi... The AD's secretary (that you mentioned ran the show for a long time) was reassigned by the CURRENT AD Manzo. He was an absolute idiot to her and she didn't need it so she agreed with the reassignment and is now I believe in the Alumni office.

Hear's hoping that the change starts soon!!....

Happy Halloween!!

'83
Great insights from someone who, obviously, has been around a long time and went to school at the time of our last turnaround. You've seen first hand that it can be done with minor changes - Immediately. Patricio came back - turned things around. Salter (not that there was a problem with Parades) - quick championship. Wiard - girl's basketball championships. Kendrena - baseball championships. Lokar - basketball championship in the FIRST year. We should have dome everything possible to lock him, and coaches like that, forever. And talk about classy gear, I remember those basketball players wearing shirts with Amat Basketball - est.1957, that said something on the back like "Rooted in Tradition, Building for the Future, Committed to Excellence Today!!!". Where have those kind of coaches gone? Guaranteed that if the MD coordinator or the old Bonnies coach was hired amat would be headed to the playoffs this season and in a position to continue their success.

I do differ to extent, on the importance of "support" from the AD. Sometimes it is best for the coach to simply have *permission* to run the program as the coach sees fit and to just stay out of the way. That is why Parades as the AD/Football Coach was so successful, so that plan of yours could work. Although Paredes had Martinez and Lokar do much of his work during football season. I do agree that the present AD doesn't seem like he really wants to be the AD and I'm not sure why it is so hard to find somebody. DiFiori never really wanted to do the job and his secretary kind of ran the show, making sure that everything was first rate. But it seems she got tired of that and changed positions.

I'm not certain, either, how much power the AD even has to help, as every decision must be taken to the next level anyway. There was talk that MSGr wanted to bring over the St Paul AD at the same time he brought over the St Paul boys basketball coach. That may have been as big a disaster for the athletic program as it's been for basketball...who knows?

So to me, we all know the saying about what runs downhill. I think it starts at the top and has trickled down. Something must be done.

who cares about a freshman qb..no threats dad..play with the big boys before you put your son in the hall of fame...
The only kid that i have seen have any chance at the varsity level is the freshman tailback.

WOW THAT WAS DEEP Amat83 . I REALLY hope things change for you guys .

FIGHT ON

All,

Terrible news about the training staff and her strikes/protests.

However everything (including HER actions) go back to ONE PERSON, the AD MANZO!! HE IS TERRIBLE!!! Yes, we've heard he has no say, it's Msgr's and Hemmingway's fault, yada, yada.... But think of it this way, if one of YOUR Direct reports at your job did any of these things, who's ultimately responsible?? Yes, YOU!!!

I've said from the Day that Coach Verti was hired, he NEVER had a chance!! Has NEVER had the TRUE/TOTAL SUPPORT of his BOSS --- the AD MANZO!! No excuses for Verti, just stating the truth. Proof is in the pudding and it's just not getting done right now.... But again would you succeed without your boss' support?? NO!!

Take a step back and look at the TOTAL AMAT ATHLETIC PROGRAM ------

Football -- We all know those struggles

Boy's Basketball -- marginal - AGAIN NO SUPPORT FROM THE AD - due to the Head coaches relationship with Coach Wiard (see below)

Girl's Basketball -- Yes, very successfull, but NO INVOLVEMENT FROM THE AD!!! - AD cannot stand Coach Wiard, don't believe me, as any, any Girls BB parent - Hasn't gone to ONE Awards Banquet since he (Manzo) took over as AD -- EVEN WHEN THEN WON A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Wrestling - Yes, a consistent winner, but again NO INVOLVMENT FROM THE AD.

Track/CC - Lodolo is the one keeping those programs afloat....

Softball - Coaches Martin and Golhardt are established coaches who basically coach that team on auto-pilot with no help with the AD's office.

OK, I know you're thinking... BASEBALL

Baseball - Coach Nieto has done a very good job of managing Coach Kendrena's players to a CIF title and taking them up a notch. The AD actually has eliminated the long standing connections with some of the Valley's youth programs that have fed that Amat Baseball program for over 20 years. But YET, he rides his cart with "Selected" parents that happen to donate $$$$ to the program or who run his $nack bar and $ouvenir stand. It's been stated on here in the past... The AD ran for State Office in the short past and that IS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS, a POLITICIAN!!!

My point... do I have a hard on for the AD??? Yes and No, I have seen this man in action over the last 3+ years and he has NO IDEA of what Amat's traditions, philosophies and other things that has made Amat, Amat over the last 20+ years!!

Need an example, simply said..... Amat Nation, wtf is that??? Any of our previous AD's I'm sure would have squashed that one right away. IT WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED!!!!

You Long Time Amat faithful, remember our more classier gear, like.... "Amat Football: We don't Rebuild, We Reload!!" etc.... Remember, the AD is the one who approves what is printed and sold.

Simply said, the very, very 1st change that needs to happen is at the AD Level. Ultimately, this position would be the one accepting initial applications from potential applicants.

The way I look at it is, in order to hire a coach and pay him what we should pay him, he would have to probably take the Head Football position along with either PE Dept Head or more appropriately Athletic Director (or as Manzo has had it changed to Director of Athletics!!) in order to justify a higher salary.

Am I alone in this thinking??? No, you ask ANY COACH in the FB program and they know that he is the root cause of the demise of Amat Athletics... that along with ten's of my fellow Amat Alumni from 80' to 98' whom I've spoken to...

Let's get that process rolling.... Start with the AD and watch how quickly things will turn around....

AMAT PEOPLE THERE ARE ONLY TWO FRESHMAN PLAYERS THIS YEAR THAT COULD PLAY VARSITY RIGHT NOW. THAT IS ANDERSON THE TB/LB AND ACUNA FS/WR. THE PARENTS WOULD HAVE TO RELEASE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE PROBABLY BOTH UNDER AGE. ITS TOO LATE IN THE SEASON. THEY DON'T HAVE A SHOT AT THE LAST TWO GAMES. WHY RISK FUTURE TALENT? ALL TOGETHER ON THE FRESHMAN SQUAD A TOTAL OF ABOUT SEVEN PLAYERS SHOULD MOVE UP TO VARSITY NEXT YEAR. FIVE OF THEM HAVE A GOOD CHANCE TO START AS SOPHOMORES AND THE OTHER TWO SHOULD GET SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF PLAYING TIME. THATS HOW I EVALUATE IT JUST FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN. "FRESHMAN PARENT"

To Amat Old Timer,
I'm glad we captured your heart and the hearts of many back in the 80's and early 90's. There was nothing like being an underdog and spoiling a someones season. Playing for Coach Rogers was special and Parades had his sh*t together along with a great staff. That year our coaches fought and argued early on that season because we were struggling. I never seen a staff so passionate about winning that they wanted to kill each other. Beating the No. 2 team in the country was spectacular! Carson went undefeated the rest of the season that year to become City Champs. If they would of beat us that year they would have been national champs because we later beat the No. 1 team in the country which was Loyola in the third round of playoffs. That season was a bunch of no namers and that's when the names came off of the back of our jerseys. That year we were a solid group of over achievers, hard nosed, had great team unity and a good work ethic. I met a Carson player over a decade later that was a captain for that team and he's still bitter about that loss and how we cheated them of a national title, haha. I miss those days of signing autographs for little kids after the games over by the locker room. People think I'm bullsh*ting when I tell them that story, lol. I tip my hat off to all you loyal fans and families that came out to watch us back in the day. I still appreciate it till this day! Now I'm a fan and I wish our teams were more like the teams of the 80's and early 90's. I take my twin boys to the games and they asked Dad why are we here? The teams terrible. I look at the poor little guys and I don't know what to say. Both my boys have always dreamed of playing for Amat, but now I think they are having second thoughts. It's very frustrating and painful! If you played for Amat back then or had a son on the team. It wasn't just a football game it was a way of life! I may talk negative sometimes, but its the truth.....it's time for change.....Mighty are the men who wear the Blue and Gold! Go Lancers! -Amatster

Amat,
Count me in on the "Get rid of Verti campaign" I watched that guy while he was the OC for DiFiori and didn't impress me. DiFiori was no good and hiring is counter part doesn't help. DiFiori's a funny guy though saying he's going to resign to spend time w/ family when he went right back to coaching over at La Salle. I'm sure glad he resigned though, but Amat should of hired someone else. Until, we get faculty in there that cares about football things will not change. The AD Monzo hasn't done sh*t. This Msgr self appointed himself president of the school cause him and Arch Bishop Mahoney are b*tt buddies. He just pimp slapped Hemmingway to the side. So he could call all the shots. Other programs in our league and in the pack5 conference play say that their schools revolve around the football program. I'm sure there is more to it besides play calling. I wonder about their strength trainning. There players look like they don't even lift, no definition or density in their muscles. Probably because their spoiled, lol. These guys lift in air conditioned gym, haha. Wow, they need to workout in the elements. It's not like they play in an air conditioned dome! But then again they have a female trainer that babies them too. Giving players days off and sometimes weeks off for minor injuries. Some players sit out practice cause they forgot their inhaler, lmao. Some players out for a week sometimes two weeks for a mild concusion. Don't get a sprained ankle you'll be out for a couple of weeks, lol. Hyper extended knee a month. How many times we played with or had concusions and other minor injuries and played through them or sat out a day or so? Her entire staff missed one of the games to go on strike. I happen to notice that watching on of their lower level games a kid got injured and there was no trainer in site. She neglected her duties cause she felt they shouldn't play that day because of poor air quality. Parents in the stands were complaining about it. So jeopardize the players safety to prove a point, haha amazing! They need to hire a male trainer or someone that wont baby these guys like little mamas boys. I hope things change and get rid of all these slugs. -Amatster

Oh and Coach Spoon is the one that created that Amat Nation t-shirt, lol. Our Jr All American and Alhambra HS coach transfer, lol. So, Verti promotes this guy to varsity, lmao. This the kind of sh*t going on around there. Spoon belongs in the lower ranks. No wonder sh*ts all messed up! -Amatster

Joe Amat,
Msgr has no clue when it comes to financing or fundraising. All he knows how to do is lose money and spend money. Hiring a coach, getting athletes and keeping them are an investment like you said. Brings in fans, keeps fans, brings college recruiters and extra money during playoffs. We've lost at least a thousand fans per home game. Alot of loyal fans that just love watching Amat play, left during DiFiori's time and if their were any of those fans left well they are now gone because things are worse. I figure things can't get any worse because we're at the bottom. The only way is up! Hopefully, Verti will do the right thing and resign. Amat will go with him forever like they did DiFiori. I never realized how much I would miss Parades or Salter, lol. If Amat was smart they would fire Verti and go straight to the Tribune with who they hire so kids will enroll or transfer in. If they hire somebody that is well respected as a coach and has proven himsef at the D1 level or an athlete that has played pro ball, hint- hint I'm sure kids would stay & others would come! I'm outta here enough gab for one day! -Amatster

Amat has never won a CIF Championship with their biggest, fastest, strongest team. Amat's best team on paper is Eric Bienemy's senior year 1986. They had Bienemy (Univ. Colorado), Mazio Royster (USC), JR Phillips (Pro baseball player), Troy Auzzene (Cal Berkley), Richard Garrick (Airforce Academy), Eric Gideon (Ucla), Ken & Kevin Szalonek (No. Arizona Univ), Stephon Pace (USC), Derrick Zdarstick (Unlv) and they finshed their season 11-1 a loss in the second round that was haunting Amat for years was soon after known as the second round jinx for them. Your very right about Amat's championship teams being over achievers. Amat's '92 team won CIF Championship with a CIF Player of the Year being a 5' 10" 270 lb. nose gaurd leading the way. Granted the team was surrounded with young talent, well coached, hard nose athletes and a team that was united. They ended up breaking the CIF record for wins in a season 15-0 and this team was average in size. Amat then choked again with one of their most talented teams in 1994. They were ranked #1 in the country by USA Today. Daylon McCutcheon & Kory Minor lead this team, but fell short to Mater Dei in week 14 to finish the season 13-1. Amat's next shot would be '95 I think with Ralph Brown leading the way & that squad was bigtime over achievers because I never really heard of anyone on that team. So, yes Amat has always been a team full of over achievers. Surrounded by some talent, good coaching and hard working kids! -Amatster

It shouldn't even be about someone "kicking in" the extra cash for a salary. Does anyone else notice that attendance is a little down?How about an extra 500 -1000 fans at each of the 5 home games? Or how much extra $$$ will be made for a round or two in the playoffs? How about a dozen extra kids that choose to enroll because we have a decent football team?
For the life of me I can't figure out how that common sense is lost on MSGr? Maybe there are no accounting classes in the seminary!

A little EXTREME there CPA .I HIGHLY DOUBT a change with a few games left , but with $$$ anything should be possible . I hear Coach Dorrell might be on his way out ...

TM

Amat CPA et al Amat,

I think your concept is great, but as you may know we will need the administration to accept or allow the "fund" to exist and not place it into the general coffer.

I thought I had read the 100K plus HS coaches in the OC are supplemented by alumnus funds, and while, we, at least I, am not living in Newport Harbor it would not take much for former players, supporters whatever to shore up a fund. Perhaps 25 varsity classes times 75 players each class and $100 annually would amount to nearly nearly $190K which would pay for a bigger name and assistants. However, with the SAC debt they may take for some other purposes.

I hate this "Amat Nation" crap as for us older alumnus is was never about being better than the ESGV, but it was simply being part of something special. Did someone really print something like that on a shirt. They should burn them today! We don't need monsters, we simply need to get back to what made Amat special.

We did not have this redundant position of "President" in the 80's and I have no clue as to what management oversight it brings whether it was Carroll or some other lay persons.

I would love to look at the books as the gross receipts from the games have to be substantially down. I recall people who hated Amat came just to see them play and who they played. I doubt that still happens.

If all the alumni can chip in $10 to $100 to pay for a new Head Coach.....I'm in. What is going rate for a top D1 coach $100k maybe $120k a year. Let's see...the school will pick up the first $60k and the alumni can pick up the balance....let's see that would take 600 hard core fans to chip in $100 a piece or 1200 supporters for an average $50 a pop. My accounting firm will handle the payroll services for free.

Let's start a "get rid of Verti campaign" and create a contribution cash fund to help pay for a new head coach. We need a change now not later.

Justrab,
I hope the freshman qb doesn't transfer out. The freshman team is ok they just lack big linemen. The qb your talking about broke something in his hand. The starting qb is just as good, but is probably the fastest player on the team. I thik he should convert to reciever in order to get a D1 scholarship. Plus, this freshman team has a bigtime rb, some wide outs and probably the best safety in the valley #7. With this class some new recruits things should change soon enough. The question is if Amat doesn't make a decision soon and announce it to the public and media will players still come? I know they want to their just waiting to see who's going to take over! -Amatster

Maybe, Verti is playing kids because of who their parents are and not their strengths because that's why he was hired?

Amat old timer,

Great comments, can anyone tell me when that last time Amat had the biggest team and won because of it??? We have always been the under sized but the way Amat handled themselves with poise, execution, dedication, heart and love for the program is what had made Amat a powerhouse.

I remember watching games under DiFore where lack of discipline would cost us dearly time and time again. I remember seeing a running back a couple years ago chest bump his dad in the end zone (security guard) on a touchdown, 15 yards on the kickoff. That is intollerable and stuff like that is what drives the Alumni crazy.

I was hoping Verti would bring back all the traditional reasons that put Amat as an elite team. Yes, there were other Schools in the valley winning at the lower divisions and I take nothing away from them but Amat was rich in tradition and pride. Look at Amat's sidelines, it used to be a who's who of Amats tradition. It is now who know who and jammed packed.

Kids would be driving from all over to play at Amat. In the early 80's Amat had the lock on private school kids from Alhambra, Arcadia, South Pasadena and surroundings. These kids are now going to St. Francis, Damien and other schools.

Verti must step down as soon as possible, name a coach ASAP and follow the suggestions of the panel if one is put together. Start a search now so we can get the message out that the tradition will be back, catch these young freshman parents before they transfer their kids. A new coach can bring stability to the program instantly and that is what is needed

Justrab,

I hope you are not right about the freshman QB. New CIF rules allow for freshman to transfer one time without a change of residence.

I hear that Verti is playing kids because of who their parents are not their strengths. If this freshman is that good move him up for the remainder of the season and see what he can do. Heck, Mater Dei did it three years ago and now he will be one of the highest recruited QB's next year.

They would see Hoecoming Candidates in their formals stroll the grounds

lol.. it doesn't get any better then that..lol

there are high quality coaches here in the valley that already know how to beat the OC teams and win at the highest level. I just don't think amat is working hard enough to court them.

Amat Old Timer ...

GREAT COMMENT !

Amatster,

I hope we can get things turned around, but I hear that the freshman quarterback may check out (back to Los Osos) very soon. Since his dad is a graduate (great DB) it sounds like the problems, issues, confusion with the program are permeating all levels. We always had guys check out (20 freshman from my class on the football team did not come back in the early 80's), but most were academic, religious or general lack of desire to work in a structured private school environment.

It just sounds like things are getting much worse.

I was not a fan of the Amat program. I remember reading the Saturday sports section headlining Amat's Superstars of it's day....Bienemy, Royster, Fields, Fletcher, McCutcheon, Wagner, Getheral, McCleskey and so on and so forth.....

The Amat team was sort of an SGV all star team that would go against the Long Beach all stars in LB Poly and against the OC all stars in Mater Dei and Servite and of course our biggest rival St. Paul and Loyola. Then there would also be the "big game" against the city champs Carson. As Amat victories grew in numbers against these giant foes, so did our fan base in the SGV. I remembered watching my very first Amat game in the 80's against a very huge and fast Carson team. Amat looked like a JV team compared to Carson, yet they appeared very composed, very professional and disciplined. I was in awe when they beat the much bigger Carson with their flawless execution and god send speed. They won me over and now I've been a fan for life. My two sons graduated from Amat and I also joined the boosters.

Nowadays, reading the Saturday Tribune is just not the same any more without such highly touted HS superstars gracing the morning headlines as it certainly is not the same here in the SGV to see a playoffless Amat team.

As to MSGr discontinuing the Fiesta in lieu of starting his "Extravaganza" it not only created a little financial hit ,b ut also a TREMENDOUS opportunity to build raphor within the community.

People thoughout the SGV would come to the school and little kids would look forward to growing up and being a student(player) there someday. They would see Hoecoming Candidates in their formals stroll the grounds and it was always great when it worked out that there was a home game at the same time. the students working all of the carnival booths always were presented as cheery, polite, and good role models that parents would notice and keeping in mind when choosing a high school for their kids later.

Finally it gave faculty, staff, parents and boosters an opportunity to work together towards a common cause which always fostered the old "Amat Family" mentality that has now decomposed into "Amat Nation".

The bottom line is that ALL of these little things have contributed to the slow erosion that we have seen.

The good news is that it will only take a few minor shifts in thinking to right the ship and turn things around.
(as I type with fingers crossed)

Glad to see other people seeing what Msgr. Carroll has done for Amat. Yes we have new Gym. Put his name on it and retire him. I can remember the carnivals and the money that they used to make. Big dollars $$$$$$.

As for Verti, Mrs. Wiard was for the hiring or at least that was her front on the issue. If we cannot afford a quality coach than the athletes will not come. It seems that Amat increases the tuition every year. Here is a thought, raise the tuition $5.00 across the board each month and dedicate that money to help and pay for quality coaching. Football is the one sport that you can not neglect, it brings in more money than any other sport and it actually funds many of the sports. It is simple econimics, take care of the bread winner and everyone will prosper. Amat probably sells more season tickets that any team in the Valley along with pre sale tickets this money goes to Amat and is not shared with visiting schools such as the gate money.

The Amat Alumni donate each year and faithfully, the golf tournament regularly brings in approximately $40,000 with the extravaganza bringing in at least that much anually. Why are we not going after the high dollar Alumni such as Haden, McKay, McDonnald, and so on. You see the Amat football game program, the thing is huge. There is not another game program in the valley that can touch it. $$$$$$ There are ways to increase the pay for the coach and we need to find them.

As for the hatred in the La Puente area, whats this mexilancer comment. There is no room for this on the blog.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME . Game Of The Week HAS GOT TO BE ...

GLENDORA vs Ayala .Sorry La Puente / Duarte fans .

TM

Game of the week:
Duarte and La Puente
Friday 11/02/2007
kickoff-7pm

You would be amazed that Amat still gets great athletes. They have a big time tailback on their freshman squad named J. Anderson a D1 guy for sure. There's about 9 freshman that should go varsity next year. Amat's freshman team is a solid group, but not as much depth as usual. Their still getting their fair amount of talent. The question is will they stay with the program. I hope so and wish for things to change. That way people in the San Gabriel Valley can get a feel for what D1 or Pack5 football is all about. Its a different level and speed! I know why some people still send their kids there. Because of tradition & history. Its the only Pack5 school in the area and the players get looked at regaurdless because scouts are always searching for talent at that level. If you've been around high school ball enough especially at the D1 or Pack5 level then you know the difference. Amat's a great place to play your freshman year. Get use to the speed, transfer out to a local high school, its like slow motion & become a superstar like McBride of Los Altos did till he broke his leg. Anwayz- even though Amat is still losing you would be surprized really how good they are! -Amatster

Anonymous at October 29, 2007 03:28 PM

Good points being made. If the current regime is not changed after the season ends in 2 weeks, why would any parent with a gifted athlete kid (D1 abilities?) play for Verti with his track record? I know my two sons (twins) who are playing JAA ball are two years away from entering HS, and there is no way they'd be playing for Verti. I'd rather have them play for Farrar or Gano or Bogan unless Amat gets their head out of their A$$ and change course.

Hey TM,
Nahh, I know your good with the Amat guys. I didn't mean to sound like if you were against us. If I did its because I'm very passionate about our football. No worries, maybe if we had SC guys instead of Ucla guys running our program we would be a winning program, lol. Go Trojans!
-Amatster

To whiners,
Obviously you don't know what your talking about. Verti has been at Amat for awhile. When he was offensive co-ordinator for DiFiori they where no good and they have gotten worse pal. DiFiori was a descent defensive co-ordinator and a good coach at Temple City, but that's not pack 5 or division 1 football. DiFiori quit cause he wanted to spend time with his family, lol. That was a bogus excuse because he's coaching over at La Salle with Elar Gallagar. The truth is DiFiori couldn't succeed at this level. Verti was his assistant that took over and things are getting worse. People are spending money on private schools. We have lost players to Damian, Mater Dei, Loyola, St. Paul and even Crespi. They are not going to come to a program that has not been winning, has been losing players. What you should be doing is bringing in the atheletes or showing your face at the local private schools, attending the local churches with players, holding catholic flag playoffs, camps, pop warner & jr all american games. It's not recruiting once they ask you questions. I've worn Amat gear out in public and have had numerous people ask me about how to apply or transfer in. Plus, the people have every right to bash Carroll. He has done nothing for the program. The interview panel gave him three top picks for head coach. None being Verti. He used the excuse we can't afford any of them when really they had already chose Verti. Bottom line, is your getting what you pay for. Sixty grand at Amat for a head coach is chump change when the Mater Dei offensive co-ordinator is making over ninety thousand annualy. Carroll also took away the fiesta which grossed over a hundred grand in one weekend. That helped keep tuition down and he's not cutting any atheletes breaks as they do at other private schools and like Amat did in the past. So before you open your mouth know what your talking about! Mr. know it all, don't know anything. That's why the program is where its at Oh everything will be okay. Ten years later and where we at, we're n the same situation!!!!!

Amatster ,
I DO NOT NEED ANYONE FROM BISHOP AMAT to think I am against BISHOP AMAT . I AM NOT . I worked hard to get back into good terms with you guys , and hopefully things stay that way . Now off to fight traffic for a few hours ...

FIGHT ON

I NEVER SAID & OR INSINUATED THAT SHE STARTED OR WANTED BISHOP AMAT TO FALL FROM GRACE ! You are putting words there that are not THERE . AMATSTER READ MY POST AGAIN .

ONCE AGAIN ANONYMOUS , WHY KNOCK MY ALMA MATTER . RHS has had PLENTY of good teams since 1985 ! Plenty since 1995 ! I just find it hard to believe that READING about a team is actually the same as SEEING a Team actually play . Just my opinion , and like they say ...we all have them . BEST OF LUCK TO YOU , AND YOUR TEAM /TEAMS . NO HARM NO FOUL .

FIGHT ON

What's up TM? I doubt that's the person who tried sabotaging Amat's program. That person, one of two are both good people and still want to see Amat succeed. This has been an on going problem. It all stems from the top. Starting from the president, to the principal, to the atheletic director. Not one of these officials is doing what's best for the high school. They say it's all about money and they can't afford to hire these coaches. What there not realizing is that its an investment. For about the past 10 years Amat has been steadily going downhill & they have lost about 50% of their fan base which equals dollars. If that official was against hiring Verti than I'm pretty sure they knew what they were talking about. That program needs someone that has proven themself at the division 1 level of high school football. Hopefully, they make the decision before December 1st because that's just before testings and open houses to high schools. Thanks for wanting to see us get back up on our feet. I even have rival teams like Long Beach Poly coaches asking when we're going to rebound. We still have the horses coming and some that are already there. We just need a General to lead the way!!!

Anonymous @ 10:29. It is an interesting debate. CO's record of 2-1-1 against D2 (including a win against about the worst team in ALL D2 in Claremont...and by just 6 points). Is respectable. We are 3-0 against 3 teams equal or better than the 4 CO played, and the rest of their schedule I'd guess we'd likely be undefeated against as well. Let them come play the rest of the Sierra (Diamond Bar, Chino, Ayala & Chino Hills) and then see if they win that league with your 1-0-1 start. Assume Claremont is DB and Ayala is Upland and you are 2-1-1 in league with Chino Hills to go. Good luck with that! You make a good point that you are a "smaller school". About 600 students, or 150 more Jr. & Sr. boys to pull from...half of those not athletes and then how many playing other sports. We know that Football is king at CO, where as the Tartans have top teams in other sports and make it tough to be multi-sport guys. Oh well, we could compare until we're blue in the face, (well, you probably get blue, whereas we get red ;) Bottom line, we're both having a good year and we both should win league which only speaks to the talent and coaching in our area. For us, this would be first title in like 15 years, so forgive us being a bit excited for potentially our best season since the Karno years. As for us scheduling "down" to D6 like someone addressed, I thing El Do is a great challange and should stay on the schedule...and we all know that the staff took care of the other D6 game for next year. Look for an even tougher schedule next season would be my guess. Good luck this week and it feels like basketball season for us with 2 games on the schedule. Ya'll come out to Chino tonight, should be fun.

I can follow the teams in the SGV as well from here as I could from there. The coverage is good. I haven't seen SH play and I know they are good and could give CO a very good game. I know LA was good until the injury bug hit them. I still know that Glendora has beaten CO 2 or 3 times in the last 10-12 years. I haven't seen Rosemead play. But I do know that they are never as good as their record. The last time Rosemead had a truly good team was in about 1985??????

Anonymous you wrote "I no longer live in the area and reside in the central valley." If you NO LONGER LIVE IN THE SGV , HOW could you possibly know who the better teams are ? Have you seen CO play ? CO IS GOOD , but MOST D2 schools would beat them .

TM

>>

Yes, CO could complete, to an extent, at the D2 level. The problem is that they, size wise, are not a D2 school. CIF, trying to make a level playing field talent wise, toys with with leagues mixing very large schools with no so large schools.

I no longer live in the area and reside in the central valley. Because of the distances involved up here, teams are grouped as best they can by size into a league. But, when it comes to the playoffs, they are then grouped by size. There are a few exceptions, but not many. The league that our team plays in here, the West Yosemite League, last year had teams in D1 D2 and D3 out of 5 levels. The dust is settling with new schools, etc., and all 7 teams in the league will be in D2 next year.

It all goes back to what is a level playing field? CO is a smaller school and should play against smaller schools in league. You still have several hundred more 10-12th grade boys to fill your team with. "Pound for Pound", CO is the better program.

South Hills lost first 2 but reeled off 6 in a row and West Covina will be victim number 7.

Anonymous at October 29, 2007 10:29 AM

The answer to your question, "who has the better program", is GLENDORA. Because they play D2 schools in league.

Glendora scheduled some of the best of the D6 schools in pre-league. EL DO maybe a D6 school, but they would easily beat everyone on the Tribunes top 10 list. CO is very capable of playing at the D2 level, but plays against other D6 teams in league. No wonder CO does so well in their league.

Enough with the shallow victory against Glendora. Yes, a win is a win. But like the Glendora win last year against CO, nothing can be proved by that kind of victory. In real life terms, both teams are about equal.

hmmmmm at 10:08 PM....
You make interesting points. Glendora lost (LOST) to 2 D6 teams. CO Beat 2 D2, lost to a D2 (3500 students and should be D1) and tied another D2 team. CO should be given credit for upping their schedule, not rediculed. Perhaps you should question why your mighty D2 school scheduled D6 schools? Why do all the D2 schools in the area repeatedly schedlue D6 schools. When was the last time one of the are D2 schools did anything in the D2 playoffs? You have a large schools but cannot compete with the schools that are the same size.

Now, I ask you, who really does have the better program?

TM,

Nice! Aaahhh, Barbarino, Horshack, and Freddie"Boom-Boom" Washington and...

You speak the truth..and the way MSGr handled her situation was atrocious.

Many were in favor of a different hire - except the bald guy that would have had to open the checkbook and/or allow some autonomy to do what is the best interest of the program.

There hasn't been much talk of this, and I certainly wish the best for Lou at CO and hope they go on a big run in what could be his final year. There is no love loss between this administrator and Coach Farrar over some things that happened in the past. And she has a bundle of "coaching connections".

Could their be a coaching move in CO's future?

"signed...Epstein's mother"

Boy, go away for a fun, blogless weekend and look what happens. Everyone has trouble behaving.

I read some comments on my phone, but responding would have rubbed my thumbs raw.

At my age having a good intellectual debate is the mental equivelant to the physical exhileration of a great athletic competition in my younger days. I always look forward to having a discussion with some bloggers about things that we have different views on. It's like playing that really good team or your big rival used to be. Those are the games that are the most challenging - and the most fun. It's was rarely enjoyable to blow-out some lousy team.

Obviously, as I've said about this particular poster in past weeks, comments from this weekend were not worth the kilobytes that they take up on this grey space.

No sense in having a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

From what I hear from a few Bishop Amat friends of mine , A certain Vice Principal that was not promoted to the level she wanted left & that has caused ALOT of things around Bishop Amat to go down the drain . SHE WAS AGAINST HIRING Verti . Looking in from the outside , I have NO IDEA about the workings of Bishop Amat , I DO KNOW that SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN , too late for this year , but maybe next year . Best of luck to the Lancers on the rest of the season . Anyone know who my buddies are talking about . She is now @ CO .And they seem to be doing just fine . I know a VP / Principal does not coach , but having a good admin. staff HELPS .

To all the Verti bashers, you all suck to think it is all his fault. Our talent base is very thin and to compete with Pac 5 opponents you have to have the talent. True we lost some talent to transfers and other THINGS! but to just pin the blame on the coach is weak, face it Amat fans it is not our year and the process takes time. Bash Carroll why? people do not pay for private school as much as they used to, it is becoming a rare breed for people around the La Puente area to pay for private school. Amat is now a normal program and is playing way out of their league. They came out of gate and looked good for a half but then talent takes over. Crespi is a very good team and so is SO Notre Dame, much of the same to come this friday, it is not Verti's fault entirely, he is doing the best job he can for the cards he has (2's 7's 4's and 9's) to his opponents (Aces,kings,queens and jacks). I show up to the game knowing we are going to lose but I still support our program, funny thing is you people who are calling for his head also show up to the Amat games, so cut the whining you know that we are all in this together for better or worse. Anyone know hoe #44 Derick Perez is doing? he got hurt on the opening kickoff.

Fred is BACK ,THANK GOD ! This RG guy had me staying OFF THE BLOG ALMOST ALL WEEKEND . I did not want to get in the mix with that IDIOT .GOOD LUCK TONIGHT TARTANS ...

BE THE BEST

FIGHT ON

TM

San Dimas Saints...
Way to battle back following a tuff loss to Baldwin Park. The defense was amazing and the low pace practices forced by the wild fires actually seemed to add to the Saints' energy levels... I hope coach Z was paying attention! A little rest amongst the practice schedule went a long way! March on Saints...

I have banned the IP address that Robert Gilpin was using and will continue to ban IP addresses of people who post trash.

Hey Fred,

Are Glendora and Duarte playing tonight? Anyone who looks at this mornings paper will never know (until tomorrow morning). It was nice to read the preview about the La Mirada - Artesia game though, should be a lot of local interest in that one.

Seriously, I'm sure it wasn't your call or you were deservedly off for the weekend, but I thought they'd a least run the game schedule on the back page. Did I miss it?

Can we please put the CO vs GHS game to bed?

Agree with "Hmmm"

CO is using the barely win against Glendora as a real medal on their chest. Considering, all their other wins were against, well, poor record schools, I can see why they grasp the Glendora win so tightly. Of course, anyone who saw the game would say CO capitalized on one coverage mistake on a trick play designed to do just that. It was used only once in the game, but set up nearly every possesion. Smart coaching, that's it. This trick play would never work again against Glendora. Yes, Glendora would beat CO 2 out of 3 games.

You say CO has vastly improved. Against who? Since then, Glendora beat Damien (you tied) and beat Chino Hills (you would have no chance against Chino Hills).

You say Calpreps is useless. Then I guess your scientific predictions are more meaningful. No one can honestly predict a game with 100% accuracy, but figures don't cheat......

If given the chance to play EL DO, you will lose BIG time. This El Do team is much better than last year. And, we saw what they did to you last year!

Keep wining in your little pond.

Good luck tonight Duarte Falcons. Don't overlook basset tonight. Teams that have not won are dangerous. It will be a short week then we have to play the well rested warriors. This will be a good test for you guys.

Go Falcons.......

Fred,

Something tells me you may miss the PSN blog, just a little.

Hmmmm,
Nice post, you make some valid points.However, while we may not be at E.D.'s level(yet), we at least have a shot at competing with them. Last year we gave them a good game (10-6 at half; 17-6 final). G.H.S. on the other hand, got run off the field. Also, how's that mighty Sierra league? How did it fair against the Miramonte? Oh yea, not so well! The game between our two schools was only an upset in the Tartans eyes, not in ours. You can quote Calpreps all you want, statistics are for... well you know the rest. I truely believe our rivalry is great for both communities. It is too bad your coach can't or won't allow it to continue. Good luck to you, and feel free to come root for us after turkey day.

hmmmmm....

if co is that bad how come you guys could only put up 1 touch down???

el do made you guys look like ganesha

i dunnno if u heard about the game last december on your homefield but we played el do a heck of a lot tougher then u guys did and they have a very similar team

annnnd as far as CALPREPS rankings go who really gives a dam...what do those numbers really mean?? NOTHING

bottom line is glendora has a few games left...keep our locker room nice and clean were gonna break the citurs in december curse this year lol...

Lucky,

Yes, GHS lost to 2 D6 schools. El Do's one of the best in So. Cal and you guys are supposed to be 2 or 3 in your division. Besides your upset win over us, how'd you do against OUR division? Hmmm, let's see. Loss to Upland who will battle for a playoff spot out of the Baseline and tied Damien who may not make the dance, and just snuck past Claremont who's the second WORST team in our division. Not too impressive, but those other wins of yours were just HUGE (besides LA it was ??? who??? Wilson?, W. Covina? La Mirada? None of those teams going anywhere and their combined record is BAD. You'd better be beating up on those types. No wonder the unbaised computer (Calpreps) has us ranked quite a bit higher. If you think you've got any shot against El Do this year, think again. I've seen El Do and you sirs are no El Dorado. That said, you've got your nice win against us and you should win league even if you lost to the Ranch because of the paperwork. Good luck this week and keep winning...you keep helping our ranking as well.

Fred

Please go thru the other treads also. He's posted some bad crap there also.

Just get with your tech's and block his IP address.

Fred,
This blog is turning to trash, there is more personal attacks than there is high school football talk on this board, then you have imposters signing on with the name of other known posters, I still wonder why you can't assign one
username to one e-mail address, this blog will keep going down into the gutter till you fix this mess. It seems if you assign one user name to one e-mail address most posters would post more responsibly, and if you keep getting some that don't you could screen them, & if it they still
don't stop then you can ban them from the blog.

No, I'm joe amat. Please don't listen to that other guy. Fred please you have do something about this blog.

Robert, you've over exerted yourself today. Time to medicate and return to lock-up. Robert, we'll continue these sessions tomorrow.

*For all those that reside in the La Puente, So. El Monte, Baldwin Park, or West Covina area please secure your windows and doors tonight for it is hard to imagine that Robert will remain locked up over night. Trick or Treat!

freaking nuts u people r. u all need a life

drpantherblue, as great as that sounds and i would LOVE to see it, but i think LA and BONITA can sleep really really well that they are going to cif and not do a thing. WE just have to defeat the really good CO and then we would automatically have a chance.

This is insane!!!

dude im lost. to many joe amats. whihc ones which

wait, co? come on, they're not the best, joe amat. no wait, I'M joe amat. no wait, i'm joe amat. wtf? who is joe amat then? I'M JOE AMAT and CO is not the best team in the valley. Bishop Amat is the best team in the valley you dumb asses!

Hmm.....shun Robert Gilpin and embrace Joe Amat. Have you ever felt as if you've been hood-winked?

Robert Gilpin

Robert, can you see what you've done. You've upset several on this site. Shame Robert, you shouldn't be so self indulged with drama the way your are, it's an unhealthy situation. Have you no guilt? Robert, please attempt to get along for there are many on this site that would love to have over for dinner. Do I hear any invites?

I came on to check out what was going on in the blog and this is what I see. What happened that this blog has gone so far down in such a short amount of time? Comments posted by nothing but losers!

This blog is like a the dirty filthy rest room at an abandoned park that hasn't been cleaned in years.

i alzays feel diryt after i have visited it so i hardly ever visiti it anymore.

Posted by: Scotty Fitz1 at October 28, 2007 05:55 PM

HOLY CRAP SCOTTY, EVER HEARD OF SPELL CHECK?

Fred,
Bonita and LA will be the real cheaters if they don't return their wins to the original winners
DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.How could the LA and Bonita coaches sleep at night knowing they got beat. One player does'nt win a game it takes the whole team .Be great AMERICANS and do the right thing for the Miramonte league

Hello?

Robert Gilpin,

You are a bizarre human being and should probably been institutionalized in the psychiatric ward of a mental hospital! Stop the madness already and go get some help before you not only become a risk to yourself but also to your family and potentially society. You scare the heck out of me you sick person!

anonymous/Gilpin once agin contradicting his own post....Strange fellow here.

Good job Fred J. for deleting all of those comments from Robert Gilpin. Though, I must say, he seems like a very smart man. Very educated in fact. He made some brillant comments on Bishop Amat football and the joke that they are. I also heard, he has a great reciept for fish tacos!

Lucky

For a D6 school, El Do could beat any D1 school in the SGV.

I still believe, GHS beats CO 2 out of 3 games. All one has to do is look at the common teams.

Posted by: Anonymous at October 28, 2007 04:33 PM

Sorry, but I don't buy that. CO would probably beat GHS 3 for 3 the way they are playing right now. But thats just my opinion. I know, it don't mean sh*t! My wife tells me all the time.

I've been gone for a day, sorry for all those Gilpin comments, they've been deleted.

dbpantherblue...

Follow this logic:

no illegal player = no 87yd TD = LA WINS.

Sure, we'll give you back your win! hahahaha

Bonita and Los Altos Fans,
Do the right thing and ask your school administrators to turn the victory back in the hands of the rightfull owner DR. I know if you make it to the play-offs you would want to know that you have the right to be their and you only made it their because a piece of paper was'nt turned in. "DO THE RIGHT THING"

Washington Redskins Vs New England game is more like the Bishop Amat Vs Crespi game.
NE 52 WSH 7 Final
CRESPI 55 BA 5 Final

Hello ElDo Dad (aka GHS Dad)
You still can't get over that loss to C.O.. Let it go man, you have a big week ahead of you. Please don't come on here and try to bash on C.O. Your team is good, even though they lost to 2 D6 schools.

What's sad is none of this "blogging" has anything to do with football. That's too bad because the football related comments get overlooked and several people today for instance have been very complimentary towards Charter Oak football. Everyone just ignore Robert Gilpin and focus on schools and athletes in a positive manner of course!

CSI SGV

Good post. But let's think this out a little further. No Joe Amat because he's MIA. Suddenly, we are introduced to someone known only as Robert (Joe) Gilpin. Hmmm interesting.

To all Lancer Faithful, Anti Verti fans:

Silence is golden. Let's not air our dirty laundry here anymore only for everyone to see and to ridicule. If we all have a valid complaint or concern, let our voices be heard through e-mail or write a letter to Msgr Carroll.

Let's not give the cockroaches, slugs and snails like Gilpin more fuel for his venom.

Posted by: Voice of Reason at October 28, 2007 02:44 PM

Amen to that brother

Agree with CSI, ignore this fool. Joe Amat is too smart and too clever to fall for this Mexican hating idiot.

Why is everyone falling for this Robert Gilpin dufuss's line and sinker? Isn't it obvious this Robert Gilpin is as fictitious as the boogeyman lurking underneath your bed at night? Whatever it's...or his or her motive is, seems to me they are just attention whores and testing everyone's nerves through such racist and hateful comments and getting a big kick out of it.

I'm not discounting that these sick individuals do not exist among the more civilized, I'm sure that they do, but do you really think he'd be that stupid to post his real name here?

This poser is probably a disgruntled former Amat affiliate and is not happy with the current state of affairs at Amat.

To Saints. Northview played well. Saints are just that much better. Northview did everything they could and the Saints just kicked there butt. Northview's defense is horrible and the got their butts kicked. Northview isn't physical and SD hit them. QB Robles is horrible every week and didn't do anything again. Word to Northview coach, you guys aren't playing Ganesha and Nogales, you're not very good. At least discipline your kids to stop talking trash and complaining.

Northview coach is class act, get your staff and kids to have some too.

FredJ or someone else,

Please stop this madman he is on the loose and is lurking someplace in our Valley! In the spirit of Halloween he is scaring the heck out of me! You are a sick, sick, man Robert Gilpin but at least I just read and realized posts are beginning to tame you ugly beast!

Gilpin,

I hope you don't mind me calling you by your last name. As an ex Marine, I'm used to calling people by their last name. Although I really don't drink all that much, I can appreciate a good beer myself. Anyway my offer always stands. My wish is that we (as adults) can give these High School kids all of possitive motivation and respect that they deserve.

Notes on Amat

As a general rule, when I post a message on this blog I try to keep my commens to the things that I observe that happen on the field of play. However, I must say that I am at a loss to understand what the agenda is of a few of these bloggers.

For example, just the other day, one of the posts that came from "Anonymous" had a few harsh words directed towards Amat (no surprise given the state of football being played here these days I suppose). Then someone came out and challenged amonymous to give out his real name and, to his credit he did. In fact, he posted it as Robert Gilpin (aussuming of course that that was indeed the same person).

Now, anonumous is quite a curious person here, in that he will sometimes come out with a very good if not an outstanding post, and then sometimes, with a post that is border line raciest (just look below this post to see what I mean). He then will often follow up a post with a comment taking the opposite position of what he just posted, often in the very next posting !

Now, im not bashing on anyone, just making an observation here. I believe that this forum is a wonderfull thing, in that it allows us to express our feelings towards our individual schools and it gives us high school football fans an avenue to vent our frustrations.

However, there are times when common sense and good taste, sometimes take a beating here. Lancer lunatic, good post, but please try to cut it down a bit eh...

Gilpin is a ball-less jackass that has a kid in public school who's team has probably won a few and feels he needs to bang and brag about their accomplishments because he never accomplished squat in HS or in real life. Gilpin would never reveal the identity of his kid because he'd get racked by the words of his ol'man's hate and the hate the general public has for him. When Gilpin isn't banging on this board he's busy cutting out discount coupons from the newspaper for a penis enlargement.

Hey...JOE AMAT? WHERE ARE YOOOOOOOOOOU??? Some of us have been looking for you!!! You seem pretty quiet nowadays. Something tells me good old Joe is up to no good. Naughty Joe!

CO's defense is not number one in SGV. GHS's defense is head and shoulders better then CO's. You Charter Oakies need to stop looking at your team through rose colored glasses. ElDo will once again hand you your buckets with your heads attached come the finals, if you make it that far.

Who's this robert gilpin charactor? Is this a Jr. high school kid with deep mental issues or just a "nutcase" seeking attention? I mean...all this guy (or girl) doe's is spew hatred all over these blogs. Dude lighten up! These are just HS kids (teams) we're supposed to be discussing here.

Get help!

ghs freshmsn play monday and thursday, thats tough on 2 way players, lets hope no injuries,

watch out for that charter oak defense. they got some playmakers. i have seen every team play in the valley no defesne close to them. keep it up chargers

Morning paper 50 cents, cup of coffee $1.75, reading about C.O.'s victory over L.A., "PRICELESS". Three years in a row and counting.

Do you think Charter Oak could make it back to the finals? I went to the game on friday against Los Altos. How is #75 from CO doing he had to be taken of the field? Overall it was a pretty sloppy game for both teams. But especially LA, i think they had 5 or 6 turnovers, maybe cause that CO defense is just so explosive. But I also went to the CO vs. Glendora game and i have noticed that CO's offense has got alot better i mean alot better. That offensive line has improved alot. But they also have the backfield power that no other team has, #4, #16, & #5 all three run the ball very well. That quarterback reminds me of J. Russel. Big, has a good arm, and makes good decisions. I also like the WR's for CO not that big in size, but have good hands and run pretty good routes. I think they have 2 more league games left in the season but im not sure. CO also has a GREAT coaching staff, they no the game of football very well. So watch out for CO to do some damage in the rest of the season, and going into the playoffs.

WOW! What a week of H.S. football.
Bishop Amat: You guys need to circle the wagons and prepare for next year. Whatever it takes! Prep football is better when your team is competitive.
Glendora: Two games in 5 days. Your coaching staff will be tested to the limit. Good luck and stay healthy. Ayala is playing like a team with something to prove.
Diamond Ranch: Your done! 0-2 in League and losing all tie-breakers. Your QB is a stud and I feel sorry for the majority of the players. Your head coach is wrong in many ways (cocky in the paper, hot head on the field, negligent as an administrator). Pray for Bonita to beat CO.
South Hills: Nice run boys. We'll see how you do against an improving WC team. Awsome to have your game on Fox. Represent our valley with class and ability.
Charter Oak: Improving every week. Offense is better and better. The defense is probably the best in the SGV.(sorry Tartans). They still need to eliminate the mental errors and cut down on the turnovers. Beware of Bonita, (2-2 last 4 years I believe).
A funny thing happened on the way to CIF this year...

Hey Cub fans listen-up

In the 70's your Cubs received the biggest BEATING in school history from CANTWELL HS. That thrashing still stands in the books as your worst defeat of all time. Let's see you cubbies do some homework with the final score of that game. hmmm

wow that is a beautiful site to see. 55-05 can't wait till we get our paws on those amat prancers.
fridays results: when's the last time amat got beat this bad? can you guess? lmao- i cant recall, there a team of the past, a bunch of has beens...Go Cubs sick 'em!

I'm with the Amat Hater guy. We should start up there own blog or continue to bash them. It cracks me up everytime I open the paper and see the Amat score or read there blogs. There bloggers are funny. I know it makes my friday nights and saturday mornings for a brighter day.

Planning for the short week

This Monday will mark the first time that so many Sierra League teams square off twice in one week.

Figuring Monday's game...we will be left with Tues and Weds practices before hitting the grid-iron against Ayala.

The good news is that Ayala, Chino Hills, and Chino, are in the same situation as GHS.

Looking at Ayala's competition this week against Chino Hills...one of these teams will be either riding a high or low since their game will determine which school trophies the "BONE" for one year.

Either way....they, as well as GHS, will be in need of cornering a win as the race to the top of the hill in the Sierra League tightens.

GHS fans will see first hand what the time-off did or failed to do for our plaid-crew.

Unfortunately, there are no carry-over victories this week....we will have to re-invent that spirit and attitude all over again.

Rest assured Chino has more to prove against us as they fight for a third place finish in league and possible invite to the CIF post.

GHS needs to stay focussed and determined for the sake of capitalizing on the taste of victory this time around.

FYI: Be at Chino HS early because the traffic, parking, and stadium seating, are the pits.

PLAID LAD

The officials at DR are idiots for turning themselves in. What were they thinking? I would have rather somebody blew the whistle on them at the final game of league that way they forfeit all there league wins.

Com'n give credit to LP we are the best team in La Puente. We have 5 wins and are shooting for a league title. BA has only 2 wins and one of those wins they didn't deserve, lol. Give credit where credit is due babeeee. We the best in La Puente. Warriors #1 babeeee black & orange. I thought you knew. Game recognize game and you all aint lookin to familiar right now.

To all you LOSERS out there. DON'T HATE because your use to being a LOSER. LOSING is something you should not ACCEPT. Just cause you lose week in and week out DOES NOT mean you have to get use to it! The PARENTS and the FANS at Bishop Amat do care and it shows in many of the prior COMMENTS. You must be one of the BENCH WARMERS who was not GOOD ENOUGH to PLAY for AMAT or your kid RODE THE BENCH back when they were WINNING! I can recognize an Amat HATER from a mile away. You were once a LOSER and always will be a LOSER!

if covina doesnt go to the playoffs this year it will mark the first time since 2001, when south hills, bonita, sierra vista, etc. were in the valle vista league also

*Bohi Fan, I can not explain the paperwork situation at DRHS, but I can tell you the players are not all transfers. Come look at our local pizza hang outs and you can see the the pop warner teams of the past that has these same kids playing together from when they were 8. This is not a created team. This is a dedicated group of boys and parents who have watched these kids grow up together. These teams compete with the top programs because they beleive in each other. By the way #8 on your team lives in Pomona! Can you show me pictures of him playing in Laverne from when he was little? And if you can't how did that kid show up on campus? And if he did play pop warner in your area are you telling me your coaches didn't influence him? And what address is he using? Obviously not his Pomona address! And if he is, how to do you explain that? Don't point the finger about your lack of game plan this year. (0 points) These kids from DR Football are not recruited and we have the proof. We also have proof on #8. So stop pointing the finger enjoy your one elimination game in the playoff and start planning for Thanksgiving because you will not still be playing by then. GOBBLE GOBBLE TURKEY
You can put aan asteric next to your record too! You are *2-0 (1-1)

What ever happened to Mr. know-it-all (Joe Amat)? Joe I never cared for your style. You loss credibility with everyone when you complained about the problems at hand at Amat and when called out to appear in front of an open forum (chalk-talk) to provide your opinion (at your bitchen school) you flaked....just like you're doing now. You need to belly-up buster...or shut-up cuz we are all tired of your crap.

Lancer Lunatic thanks for providing us another reason to HATING amat.

Lancer Lunatic- no one and I mean one cares what you have to say about your sorry school. Burn your computer.

Get a LIFE!!!!!!!

ASU #24 Herring is awesome! Great victory over Cal.

What happened to my wrap comment I thought it was pretty clever, or is this really a racists blog!

well bohifan, looked like bonita couldnt get it done season last year, so i wouldnt be talking.

I Hate AMAT, it was funny to see that score with Crespi beating them by that much, We should start up a KEEP VERTI blog he is making my friday nights and saturday mornings funnier and better to see the score of their beatdown.

As for my little friend who wonders when the last time Bonita went to CIF in football? Who cares we are going this year and last year you got in on a lucky coin flip because you couldn't take care of business on the field the final game. If you want to talk about the past when was D Ranch's last CIF title in football. The guy about transferring I understand your point but it is high SCHOOL not high SPORTS. If you are good enough you will get recognized and most travel teams now are sponsored so even if kids don't have money their parents have to pay little to nothing if they get invited to camps and play on travel teams. Football is really the only sport that colleges even look at high school games, but final decisions are made at camps where it is all elite level kids playing. I got a buddy who plays D 1 basketball and his coach told him he just went to high school games to show he was interested in him, but everything he made his decision to have him on the team was seen at his travel ball games.

Bishop Amat loses to Crespi 55-05.

When do you pull the plug on a head coach?

How much embarrassment can one person take?

Parents spend time & money to watch their kids.

Hopefully succeed & earn atheletic scholarships.

Will this head coach be selfish like the last?

The last head coach quit, due to failure.

He was at Bishop Amat way too long & it shows.

Then Amat hires his asst coach, nothing changes.

No wonder twenty some players transfered out.

The parents & loyal fans are all suffering.

Bishop Amat is known for football.

Football put Amat on the map.

Now the great teams of Amat is a past tense.

Amat can win a million CIF championships.

In girls basketball, baseball & cross country.

But will only be known for its football program.

It is sad to see a program like Amat fail.

They are below average & not even mediocre.

This coach needs to resign.

He's humiliating his family, friends & staff.

His wife has to defend him in the stands.

How sad is that? Emberrassing I must say.

He was never prepared for a program like Amat.

Not enough knowledge, tenacity or personality.

Amat deserves the best & needs to realize it.

There is way too much pride & tradition not too.

Amat deserves all the bad publicity,

the negative write-ups from former players,

and the poor rankings the Tribune gives them.

You pay for what you get.

I would like to say thank you to Msgr. Carroll.

Your the reason St. Paul's program went down

the drain & now your the reason why Bishop Amat

is a losing program. We were better without you.

You have brought nothing, but shame to our

program. You took away the fiesta which kept

tuition down for all students. You put up a gym

with no individual coaching rooms and you think

your somebody. Football payed for that gym and

most of the schools expenses. If anything you

should of built a stadium for Amat's football

team. I can't wait till you retire. That way

things can go back to normal. To the once known

nationally ranked & high profile program it once

was in the past. Yours truely, Lancer Lunatic

There is way too much pride & tradition not too.

Amat deserves all the bad publicity,

the negative write-ups from former players,

and the poor rankings the Tribune gives them.

You pay for what you get.

I would like to say thank you to Msgr. Carroll.

Your the reason St. Paul's program went down

the drain & now your the reason why Bishop Amat

is a losing program. We were better without you.

You have brought nothing, but shame to our

program. You took away the fiesta which kept

tuition down for all students. You put up a gym

with no individual coaching rooms and you think

your somebody. Football payed for that gym and

most of the schools expenses. If anything you

should of built a stadium for Amat's football

team. I can't wait till you retire. That way

things can go back to normal. To the once known

nationally ranked & high profile program it once

was in the past. Yours truely, Lancer Lunatic

Bishop Amat loses to Crespi 55-05.

When do you pull the plug on a head coach?

How much embarrassment can one person take?

Parents spend time & money to watch their kids.

Hopefully succeed & earn atheletic scholarships.

Will this head coach be selfish like the last?

The last head coach quit, due to failure.

He was at Bishop Amat way too long & it shows.

Then Amat hires his asst coach, nothing changes.

No wonder twenty some players transfered out.

The parents & loyal fans are all suffering.

Bishop Amat is known for football.

Football put Amat on the map.

Now the great teams of Amat is a past tense.

Amat can win a million CIF championships.

In girls basketball, baseball & cross country.

But will only be known for its football program.

It is sad to see a program like Amat fail.

They are below average & not even mediocre.

This coach needs to resign.

He's humiliating his family, friends & staff.

His wife has to defend him in the stands.

How sad is that? Emberrassing I must say.

Mr. bonehead
For your information only " don't tell anyone" DR turned itself in for this violation, cif had nothing to do with this suspension, DR was just trying to do the right thing.It's a shame that any kid in any sport should have to practice so hard and work so hard to forfeit any games.The ineligible player is from DB born and grew up here. CIF needs to update their rules for the new millennium. They know that its just to hard to keep up with all the transfers that are an every day thing in so cal. But why should kids that work so hard be penalized for "ONE" piece of paper.I dont wish on any school in any sport. As far as kids transferring into any school for any edge I say thats great. I grew up and played sports in the mid 70s when it was impossible to to go to another school for that extra edge.So many good athletes were left behind because their parents didn't have the money to send them to good programs and get the exsposure that might have helped them get to college. So i guess transferring can be a good thing for some kids to get the exposure that they think they need. But until CIF streamlines their process we need to keep sending in that"ONE" piece of paper and calling them to make sure they get it. And i'm not 100% sure but i don't think we have a badminton team !

amat has been sucking ass ever since salty dog left and you continue to go with rookies. that program needs a veteran coach that has proven himself to be very successful at this level. quit crying and do something about it. tell people about the blog, send e-mails to the school and don't go to the game. maybe then they will get the hint.

DiFiori used this one

http://www.gocomics.com/inthebleachers/2007/10/26/?uc_full_date=&campid=0&

Verti should next

Fred, make sure Aram gets this...he'll enjoy it

YES The Trojans LOST . Although I CAN ARGUE WHY , it would do NO GOOD . USC still has some games to play & THEY WILL NOT BE EASY .I DID EXPECT a little more from The Trojans this year , but I think playing Sanchez IS STILL A GOOD THING . He is our future , he can only get better . THE DUCKS ARE SOLID .What is with this La Puente bashing , they might not be the best in the SGV , but they are DOING GREAT ! Keep it up Warriors .

FIGHT ON

TM
Congrats Panthers on your first MVL win ....KEEP IT UP !!!

Sigh,
I'll tell you the credentials of the coaches who applied for Amat's job after DiFiorri left. The offensive co-ordinator for Mater Dei need I say more, St. Boneventure's Head Coach who has been very successful and Carson HS former Head Coach Agguire who won several city titles. Why waste these coaches time. If your not going to hire any of them. -Jackson

usc lost?

their season is over (eg national hopes) but they will get to play in a bowl game tho.. which one? lets hope a good one =]

i might have to pull my son from bishop amat...why should we continue to send him to a school that does nothing for him...we are just wasting money...kids are getting career ending injuries...people are not happy and the program is not going downhill...its at the bottom...

I really dont understand why you all swear that kids on the DR team are transfers. The only transfers were from Bishop Amat, which were Sermons, and Adams (who is not playing),which is basically only one.All the kids are from that area or on inter-district transfers.

Come on let give this LP kids credit.....They are doing way much better than last year..what was their record last year 2-8. Now they are 5-3 and
have a shot to get they league championship.

Heckle...I must say ol'boy you have been nested all day. Still fighting that nasty virus? Cheating a virus is one thing but cheating competition will only make your tongue turn DR purple in color.

AMAT HAS PROBLEMS, LOL. NO KIDDING, HAHA. IT DOES NOT SURPRIZE ME ONE BIT. I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR THEM AT ALL. THE CHOICES AND DIRECTION THEIR HEADED IN. DOWNHILL IF THINGS DONT CHANGE SOON.

Coach Verti is the suckiest coach ever and all you bloggers are sucky spellers!

Individually, the boys have talent...but when you put a retard coach (Verti) in charge...they suck.

2-8...what a good record. =]

My grandma coaches better!!

Trojan Man
Chin up dude, SC was beaten by some Ducks. No shame in that. You will feel better Monday after your Tartans trash Chino. Go Rockies

LP got their butts kicked by a sad wilson team that hasnt been this bad ever. I also think that DR's character showed through by almost choking that game up to wilson. I hope CO runs it up against DR.

What is this guy thinking? Comparing the Bishop, Crespi game to the SC, Oregon game is so absurd. What game are you watching? All I have to say is that Bishop's defense is wack and has been a big disappointment. In the first three games alone their opponents scored over 100 points against Bishop's defense and last night scored more than half of that in ne game. The qb maybe talented, but who's to say he doesn't transfer to So. Hills, Los Altos or Charter Oak. Where players are being better coached and earning scholarships! Plus, it is free to go to these schools.

to:Anonymous at October 27, 2007 05:42 PM

yo man ur just mad cuz ur team is on the top ten.
dat rite b****!

Anonymous at October 27, 2007 04:44 PM

I would have to agree:

Montview is just a weak league. Duarte shouldn't even be considered in top ten.. They would beat none of them.

Duarte teams that they have played 18-38
LP 19-45

Dranch also has the former artesia coach that was fired a couple of years ago. That is how they got all there transfers.

Amat is nothing like SC. Please. They lost by 50

Notes on Amat

Just got through watching the USC game. Man oh man how easy it is to say that this game against Oregon had so many similarities as the game against Crespi.

In both games we saw a team that could not execute when it needed to most. We saw a team that needed to make something happen, and could'nt. Worst of all we saw the quarterback throw big time interceptions that cost each team dearly.

Funny how things ended up so much alike over the weekend eh. Still, there was a few bright spots in our game that made me feel a bit better about the program.

Coach did in fact mix it up quite a bit here. We saw more passing plays and differnet offensive formations that, in my opinion, allowed us to move the ball effectively against Crespi in the first half.

Coach even showed a very unique offensive formation that, I believe he should have used, at least once in a third down situation in the first half. Could have made a difference then just as in the St. Paul game.

I have to say that, most of the time, in almost all the games so far this year, our defense has kept us in the games. They have been forced to step it up because of what happens on the offensive side of the ball, and quite often, they have done a good job of things.

For example, there was a big time interception that could have turned the momentum around for us in the first half. But, we did'nt execute on offense when we needed to and it cost once again.

Now don't misunderstand, it may seem that im bashing the offense here, but, there were some bright spots on that side of the ball Friday night. Did anyone happen to notice how suprised Crespi was after thier first touchdown ? I know that they did'nt expect us to be right at thier door step so quickly after that.

You know, I honestly belive that our quarteback will be a very special player at some point next year. But honestly, he's not there just yet. Please, don't get me wrong, it's not all his fault that we are where we are right now. He is after all, one of eleven men on that field. Still the reality of the situation, is, what it is, and at this point, coach should perhaps look at a change in that position. Far to many batted down balls and costly interceptions. Anyway, what has he got to lose at his point of the game right ?

Fred
Why don't you consider changing the way you select your top-ten teams of SGV by evaluating the strength of scheduled added with the amount of victories against those quality team.

Tough competition + Victories = Ranking for SGV

Several of the teams you currently have on your list would be eliminated from your top-ten.

Dbpantherblue,
I got some homework for you. Don't give me an "I'm a bonehead" answer when you have actually facts come back. What percentage of D Ranch kids actually live in the district? Every year I go to watch D Ranch has some new junior or sophmore that wasn't anywhere in the program the year before. Strange, maybe they were playing badminton and the football and basketball coaches told them, "hey buddy your 6'6' 250 pounds why are you playing badminton." Or perhaps they are just all studs from different schools. If you can tell me where the four new basketball players that were playing with the team this summer came from I'd really appreciate this. Bonita already got screwed three years ago by a cheating Artesia in basketball I'm glad CIF had the guts to do the right thing this time. Awaiting your answers buddy.

You know that the blog is not what it use to be when LP and Duarte are the only ones sounding off on the site. This is truly a sad,sad,sad,sad, day.

Northview #4 stick to basketball. You're a trashtalking wannabee. I wish we could play you again, so I can keep looking for you.

lp nd duarte

dan,
thats cool, way to support the allum's.

La Puente are getting lucky this season....they played bad teams the last four games now they're facing a good team Duarte...they're going to get their a$$ handed to them next friday

Posted by: stevenloks at October 27, 2007 01:25 PM

So u are also saying that duarte got lucky too because they are playin the same team...

Hey Joe Amat, where are you, you s c u m bag???

What's happened to your Mexilancers, your boys in blue???

West Covina Bulldogs Walter Thurmond,
Is playing some solid football for the Oregon Ducks, making some big tackles through out the game against USC with 2 or 3 of them for losses behind the line of scrimmage. Suprisingly, this was being done from the cornerback position, he had one TD caught off of him but other than that he was a shut down corner vs the Trojans and contained the outside extremely well.
The tough part was watching the Trojans
lose the game & any hopes of a Bowl Championship berth, but if they're going to lose I'm glad it was to a former WC Bulldog & his team.

LP V.S. DUARTE
IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD GAME!!!!!!!!

Fred,

Thanks for giving us High school sports fanatics a chance to voice our opinions and have a little fun on this blog. Too bad some people have to act foolish. Let's not let them spoil it for the rest of us.

TM

Come out and take the trashing like a man. You lost a big one today and if your boys don't start playing with more aggression and desire you'll only earn enough this year to attend the Tighty-Bowl.

fred
and why are you allways working , geesh , go take a day off,or you wont have enough energy to argue with us.you deservre it, cold drink, feet up, no puter for a day

Don't be fooled! This is NOT the same LP team that lost pretty badly to Wilson in week 2. Don't get me wrong...I have alot of respect for Duarte, they're definitely to team to beat but don't under estimate these Warriors. Should be a pretty good showdown. Either way both teams make the playoffs!

fred,
exactly right, from different divisions is impossible, thats why you need to stick to one way or the other, either ob field record or opponents strenght, by the way i support what you do here and i know its tuff to do, just my honest opinion, thanks for the reply

Shouldn't dranch drop because of quality of win. I mean they barely escape from an undersized wilson team. I mean at least 2 the 3 or 4 spot.

JOE AMAT, eat s***

Amat sucks my a$$!

Robert Gilpin here

Lp doesnt have dat much strenght on their O-line
with 3 seniors 1 Junior and 1 Sophmore...yes a sophmore.....and they are still putting up number:
1,594 rushing yard 785 passing yards in the whole season

rqd, what's the confusion? I've always based Amat on on-field performance, AND taking into consideration their quality of opponents. I'm ranking Diamond Ranch based on their on-field record, no different than what I'm doing with Bishop Amat. Also, just because Amat has slipped out of the top ten rankings doesn't mean I don't think they can beat several teams ranked ahead of them. But at some point, you have to reward teams having good seasons, regardless of division, that's why ranking teams from various divisions is impossible, really.

fred,
make up your mind, you are saying you will still rank teams on there on- field record.hmm, then why has amat been, so high all year allways ahead of , lets say sd, or duarte, t your not mak,ing sense, some fased on on field records and some not, maybe im missing something, please explain to me, thanks

Duarte is going to be tough for the La Puente to beat.....The only thing Duarte has is speed...If La Puente slows them down LP would come out on top

Voice of the warrior

What do you think you are? What a moron!

Man...who let the jack azzes out! Nothing I hate more that an ignoramus hiding behind a key board. If you can't function on this blog without getting stupid...stay in the barn!

yeah

Hey boneheads,
We're just blessed with great athletes in this area.

What if dranch goes 1-3. LA goes 1-3. And wilson is 1-3?

So I think D Ranch is officially eliminated from making CIF. Their best scenario is being tied at 2-2 with Los Altos and Bonita, but both those teams would have the tie breaker over them because they were awarded those games because D Ranch cheated. Lets see if anything comes up with the four basketball transfers they brought in. I can't believe this hasn't happened sooner because they have a lot of paperwork with all the recruits they bring in. They probably have a full time secretary for transfers. Those who say they don't recruit answer me this. How can a PUBLIC school with about 1700 kids consistently put out teams that can compete with all the big schools in football and basketball. Public schools SHOULD be at the mercy of who lives in their area and because of that they can have great teams, but you can have teams that suck. Has anybody ever gone to a D Ranch football or basketball game and said Man D Ranch is gonna get smoked. Didn't think so.

Duarte has a whole squad of Booby Miles, trashing talking foo's, that won't scholarship due to poor GPA's and that will ultimately be hired by Athens to pick up our SGV trash.

Why not give credit to LP.....everyone is saying that they got lucky...lucky? Are you serious...this kid have a lot of talent and potential...my pick LP

The only team I think I can compare duarte that LP played was wilson. And they got spanked by them. So I'm guessing just too much speed for the warriors.

All I know is that the Duarte and La Puente game is going to be a good one!

La Puente are getting lucky this season....they played bad teams the last four games now they're facing a good team Duarte...they're going to get their a$$ handed to them next friday

Fred:

Looks like CO is going to crush Bonita as well as South Hills over WC.

TM

Oregan's ability to convert on third downs will kill USC's opportunities to compete offensively. USC's D will tire as the game progresses. USC will once again drop in the standings, due to the loss against the green-meanies.

Damn, Just got done watching the game of the week video....

I would hate to be an asst. coach at Arroyo if my head coach is gonna throw me under the bus in the post game interviews....wow.

Congrats. to the South. 1 down 2 more to go and Rosemead makes the playoffs after beginning the season with 2 bad loses.

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

Local product Walter Thurmond dominating for Oregon against SC.

What you got to say now TM?

GRADY LITTLE SUCKS.

FRED, THANKS FORE THE NICE WRITE-UP. BUT WE PLAY MOUNTAIN VIEW NOT ROSEMEAD,, WE BEAT THEM TWO WEEKS AGO..REMEMBER... FORGOT TO MENTION TOMMY COGBURN CONTRIBUTION TO OUR GREAT WIN. I BELIVE HE HAD TWO RECEPTIONS FOR 80YDS AND ONE TOUCHDOWN... NOW DO YOU THINK WE MIGHT OUTRANK ROSEMEAD THIS WEEK???? HOW ABOUT THEM EAGLES. GO SEM

in week 11
when neither La Puente or Bishop Amat make the playoffs. they both have had such terrible seasons that they play one another in the 'Tortilla Bowl, winner take all'
loser vacates the city.
winner gets that nice new field at la puente high.
why is their such terrible football in LP?????

Cub Dad

Loyola is in the same boat as Amat. The days of old are no more as gifted athletes now attend ND or Crespi or St Francis, SP, MD.....you get the idea.

...The Warriors my not have the depth at the skilled positions the Duarte has but their coaching staff WILL (with NO doupt) out coach Wardell and his staff!

Don't under estimate the BRIDGE. The Warriors have improved every week and their defense is probably their strenth. Stop Harris...Win the game!

No Grady , No success, No Championship, No future, No play-off's, No support, No interest, No following, No quality athletes, No reason to post on this site.

As for SGV rankings for this coming week, how does the Tribune justify putting Diamond Ranch shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Glendora, CO and South Hills. You cheat you deserve the sword you chose to defend yourself with. Please exclude Glendora from the Tribune's list if you attempt to rank us with the cheating colors of DRHS.

La conq

Yup I am saying the same thing. Dranch seemed to have problems tackling as well. And those guys were twice wilsons size. Goodluck to both teams.

winnie the pooh (cub daddy):

when was the last time u beat Amat ??? your program is in shambles just like Amats !!!!!
your coach sucks more than ours !!!!

Duarte has the league title locked down. LP played a decent game against a sub par gladstone who once upon a time use to hand LP their tails. No sense in getting all worked up over that. It's been a good ride but time to come back to reality.

By the way...with all the injuries to LA, I think Havok in the Heights '07 just became a game. Three weeks ago I would have said Wilson had NOOOOO chance. Now the wheel is up for grabs! I sure hope to hell we can tackle Gilmore. Somebody needs to give him a bib for when he watches the LA's tackling display on film against CO. Drool everywhere!

Three league titles on the line this week

Montview
La Puente (4-0) vs. Duarte (3-0, soon to be 4-0 on Monday)

San Antonio
West Covina (2-0) vs. South Hills (2-0)

Miramonte
Bonita (2-0) vs. Charter Oak (2-0)

CFootball...

Easy tiger, this is the same West Covina team that got TROUNCED by Charter Oak last week. I was there, I saw that a$$ whoopin'. We've played both CO and SH and they are pretty much neck and neck. Unless the camera lights make WC come alive, you can count on a nice Huskies thrashing next weekend.

I'm a third party with no bias toward either team and I'm telling you...you have no chance.

If wilson beats dranch last night that is the upset of the year. Cuz we really haven't had any big upsets this year.

LP maybe the best team in LP but DHS is the best in the MONTVIEW which is what matters. LP will be handed a nice L next week. And thats with Duarte playing 2 games in 5 days. LP is, was and always will be runner up at best in that league.

The best team right now in La Puente is La Puente Warriors.

You Amat honks should have something to go cheer about...so go cheer for your neighbors. Maybe that will make you feel a little better about last night's thrashing.

In two weeks, get ready cuz the Cubs will come crashing down your parade again.

DR barely beats Wilson by a TD. Wow talking about falling from grace. You guys are way overrated. Layton with his CIF dreams.....is dreaming allright.

Ganesha will break a the state record for losing streak with 47 games after they lose to SD next week. What an dishonory distinction. Maybe Ganesha should schedule Bassett next year and possibly break this streak.

Duarte and La Puente next Friday!!!

Both undefeated

I'd just like to say that DHS is doing big things this year. From the looks of things they will be bringing a ring home this season. Even with players being suspended for a game they are handing out whoopins... And for those who say we're trying to glorify the ghetto and thugs, you must not know the school or the area and only read or watch whats on the news. There's plenty more then ghetto and thugs, but our thugs come to ball when they put on the TRU-BLU uni's... It's pride and brotherhood on the field, and they are picking up right where they left off last season.
Go Falcons!!!

#4 for Northview was talking a lot of crap about his teammates and blaming everyone else. We made it a point to keep hitting his little a.. because it was fun to hear him complain. #4, got anymore cheeze with that wine?

San Dimas topples Northview

I went to this game in anticipation of a good game. I was worried about my Saints coming back after a tough loss and thought the Vikings would be tough. SD took it to them, but Northview was just awful last night. The QB is not very good and they have a receiver #4 Farmar who doesn't even try if the ball isn't perfectly thrown to him. As good as the Saints played, that Northview team played bad. Well, here we got a dilema now, we need to root for Northview to beat BP. Go Vikings!!!

55-5. Wow....I'm totally speechless. Another low. How much more do we need take of this? We were 8 wins against Crespi to their 0 wins against us before Verti took over. Now we are 0-2 against Crespi. St. Paul's game against Crespi was not a blow out, but ours was. How do you figure?

The writing on the wall was there for all to see as this blow out was inevitable as it will be the rest of the next two games. Our boys have been humiliated, demoralized and our progbram is in shambles..it took many solid years to built it only to have it literally destroyed overnight by this selfish little boy wannabe coach.

When kids were leaving, I was told..they weren't true Lancers or they didn't deserve to be on the team. Well guess what, keep this crap up and you won't have a team next year.

How much longer can one stand back and support this coach any longer? I have kept silent and supported him, but enough is enough.

Grow up, be a man and quit now Verti.

Its not the game of the century but whens the last time a local game was televised. You will be suprised by West Covina. It will be a good game.

A special section? It's a Fox TV game, not the game of the century. I'll be there, West Covina is one of the few teams I haven't seen yet, so looking forward to it.

Fred, will there be a special section for the SH-WC televised game this week. Im sure you will be there.

Crespi 55 - Amat 5 Final,
Crespi 14 - Amat 5 Halftime

WTF happens at halftime in the lockerroom to make a team come out & get blownout in the 2nd half like this ???? What happened to the offense that was moving the ball up & down the field ( from the 20 to 20 ) ? What happens to the O in the red zone ? It's called coaching !!!! NO ADJUSTMENTS MADE IN 2ND HALF ! QUIT TRYING TO FORCE THE PASS INTO DOUBLE COVERAGE !!! HOW MANY INT'S RET'D FOR TOUCHDOWNS ????

It should be obvious by now the top four teams are Charter Oak, Diamond Ranch, South Hills and Glendora. 6-10, that's tough picking.

Fred dont you mean Los Altos and Bonita gained forfiet wins from Diamond Ranch?

By the way, this was the first time Steve and I agreed on all our picks, and we went 13-1...only loss, Mountain View's upset over El Monte...

That also goes for Los Altos and Bonita, who received forfeit wins from Diamond Ranch. We'll rank them based on their on-field records.

Let's make this perfectly clear, DRanch's forfeit's have nothing to do with the rankings. I rank them based on their on-field performances, therefore, I'll continue to rank them as if their record is 6-2.

Fred,

Are you going to keep DR ranked #2 even with their official record of 1 win? If so, how is this fair to ALL the other schools?

We've got to get rid of Verti. There is HOPE. It's sad that all these players have to suffer. All of you Amat fans, players, and parents we must bring this to the schools attention. START EMAILING!!!

Monsignors email: president@bishopamat.org

Manzos email: mmanzo@bishopamat.org

everyone just help us get verti out. thanks!!

It's a shame to watch the Bishop Amat Lancers program go down the drain!

Los Altos, I hope your player is okay. There were so many hard hits in that game from both sides I'm surprised more kids didn't go down. Both teams played a great game. You scoring two TD's in two minutes was very impressive. WOW!

Charter Oak, You had us scared there for a few minutes but we knew you would come back and show everyone what you have. O & D lines you guys were animals out there. Keep up the great work and we will see you next week at Homecoming!

West Co won. Now they can lose to South Hills like 100000 to 0.

alert!!!!!!!!!!!

ganesha hasnt scored that many points since they scored 28 against northview on October 30 2003!!!!!!!!!!!!

coach T pulled the first team with 10mins. left in the third qtr.he felt sorry for you sorry ass's.

CHARTER OAK

bishop was beat 49 to 0 last year agsint notre dame of sherman oaks

alert!!!!!!!!!!!

ganesha hasnt scored that many points since they scored 28 against northview on October 30 2003!!!!!!!!!!!!

the DB-Damien was close at half, compare to last yr being down 35-0 at half....they have made great progress this year, but the Brahmas are giving up way to many points! Something has gone wrong since the Troy game, they are giving up an avg of 40 points......NO ONE has blown them out in the first half, like almost everyone did last year, but they arent playing 4 qrts of D right now....."clean " baby steps, we'll take it for now, Martin will have a sh*tload of 3 yr Senior varsity players next season, with some bad memories and vengeance in their hearts......keep bringing it every week Brahmas!

hey o.c. fan, the most imbarrassing part about blogging is when you have to eat your words. oh, wait, you'll probably never reveal your real name in case el dorado gets beat. C.O. is real but I would never make dumb assumptions like you. We do it one game at a time...

Bishop Amat loses to Crespi 55-05.

When do you pull the plug on a head coach?

How much embarrassment can one person take?

Parents spend time & money to watch their kids.

Hopefully succeed & earn atheletic scholarships.

Will this head coach be selfish like the last?

The last head coach quit, due to failure.

He was at Bishop Amat way too long & it shows.

Then Amat hires his asst coach, nothing changes.

No wonder twenty some players transfered out.

The parents & loyal fans are all suffering.

Bishop Amat is known for football.

Football put Amat on the map.

Now the great teams of Amat is a past tense.

Amat can win a million CIF championships.

In girls basketball, baseball & cross country.

But will only be known for its football program.

It is sad to see a program like Amat fail.

They are below average & not even mediocre.

This coach needs to resign.

He's humiliating his family, friends & staff.

His wife has to defend him in the stands.

How sad is that? Emberrassing I must say.

He was never prepared for a program like Amat.

Not enough knowledge, tenacity or personality.

Amat deserves the best & needs to realize it.

There is way too much pride & tradition not too.

Amat deserves all the bad publicity,

the negative write-ups from former players,

and the poor rankings the Tribune gives them.

You pay for what you get.

I would like to say thank you to Msgr. Carroll.

Your the reason St. Paul's program went down

the drain & now your the reason why Bishop Amat

is a losing program. We were better without you.

You have brought nothing, but shame to our

program. You took away the fiesta which kept

tuition down for all students. You put up a gym

with no individual coaching rooms and you think

your somebody. Football payed for that gym and

most of the schools expenses. If anything you

should of built a stadium for Amat's football

team. I can't wait till you retire. That way

things can go back to normal. To the once known

nationally ranked & high profile program it once

was in the past. Yours truely, Lancer Lunatic

That last post was me 2 panther guy

Panther guy

I kno. It was a pretty big lead to comeback from. If they could have only held there own on special teams I say its overtime. But ya romero is pretty good. Hopefully they see somethings on tape and do them next week against LA.

yeah fred that romero is good,

sgv pride u should tell the off coord to not be proud and throw to him more.

wilson basically did not use him deep in the third qtr

Live from Las Vegas:

Wow, some pretty impressive performances tonight. I have to admit, while I picked San Dimas over Northview, that score caught me by surprise.
I believe Amat's loss was the worst for the Lancers since they lost at De La Salle in 2000. I think that score was 56-6.

dranch overcame their adversity and won 35-28.

they started the game with 28 points in the first qtr. but wilson hit for 2 40 tard tds to make it a game. dr was flt the rest of the way .

wilsons tailback is very fast, and #84 is a very good receiver. dranch was very emotional being homecoming and then went flat. carrillo playe well.

Lancer Lunatic... the Amat program is history. I think Amat football will lose their division 1 status.

I do wonder how were the credentials of the other coaches that applied for this program when Di Fiori resigned?

Hey Fred,

You need to change your lead caption for your Saturday morning quarterback.....Los Altos LOST to the Charter Oak Chargers!!!!!

GO CHARGERS!!!!!

This is for fred n everyone else.

Wilson had the game won against dranch. They were down 28-0 first quarter. Then score 28 more the next 3 quarters. They shut them out the next 3 quarters. They only scored on a punt return. I mean ya the score may show other wise. But they had it won. Its 2 bad its really 2 bad. Also on more other thing. FRED!...andrew romero is the best reciever in the valley hands down! He made some randy moss type catches for TDs. Wow! He is sumthing else. May not be flashy. But he sure can catch

Fred: Change to CO,SD,SEM

Saturday Morning Quarterback: Los Altos, San Dimas and South El Monte all notch big wins

Lets See If The Eagles Finally Get Some Love Now

Went to see if C.O. was for real and they are as good as advertised! Down 14-0 with less than 3:00 minutes off the clock and then scored 35-0 unanswered points. The game could of been at least 63 points if not for some penalties and turnovers. The sophomore scares me almost as much as the senior. The defense is extremely physical! Why do I say this because you're still only a S.G.V. football team and El Dorado is at least 3 touchdowns better than you! Thanks for reassuring me that O.C. is going to win C.I.F. again...

FatMan at October 26, 2007 11:39 PM

Your Oline isn't good, but your dline is!

i put money on bpark winning league this year. hahahaha!!!!

Congratulations again La Puente! You make us (alumni) all proud. Go Warriors!

First of all how do you call Northview a good team. They are all soft. San Dimas lost To baldwin Park! LOST!
Baldwin PArk is leading the Valle Vista league and will go Somewhere this year unlike all the sorry teams in the valle vista league. BP has kids with heart and they are strong in the trnches and BP does not get ranked at all in the best O-linemen. thats wack BP deseves credit.

"Well good for the Saints. Hats off to the kids and the coaching staff for coming off BP loss and hammering a good Northview team. Northview tried everything, but SD played their best game of the year. All the RBs ran well, and the linemen played great. Defense did unbelievable job shutting down Northview's talent. Northview has superior size and talent and SD dominated them. Saints showed what team football is all about. Good job men."

Fred

Fix your heading LA lost..

Dear SHRules,

Your league is horrible.

DUCOCK, when you get the bracelet off popeyes is hiring.

Du Roc won't respond to scaredy cat fools who aren't smart enuf to give themselves a name. All you Anony-mice will be workin the street for me by tomorrow. Stay Black Homies!

Alright, lets hear some serious comments, enough with all the silly trash talking.

West co 44 Nogales 22,
31 to 0 at the half, first unit played 1st series of 3rd qtr. & made it 38 to 0, then reserves came in. This season we've played real well against the teams that we're supposed to beat & then look terrible against teams that are good, now we have to take it to the next level.

That ain't a costume ---- Dukey Roc is a real life tranvestite

HA HA Skrid Mark. I didn't even have to respond. Someone already kicked your a$$. Megans Law list follows you around forever. Aiiight Homie!

SOUTH HILLS dominated again undefeated through league....

Skrid, Glendora fans hate you because we hate everyone on the Megan's Law watchlist.

Dukey Roc that 40W Penzoil your using on your jery-curl is toxic and affecting your speech

Amat fans were too drunk to notice the butt-thrashing they got. Some of them thought they won. They can't count either I guess. I took a young boy home with me tonight.

DuCOCK,
How do you have all these observations when you cant even leave your apartment due to that ankle bracelet around your ankle. You should also quit making your mom run down to the liquor store for more forties. I am hated by glendora fans but i think you juststole the crown away from me with that dumb ass comment to Plaid LAD. Lets get it on you little girl.

DESTORYED?

Then tell them a story so they won't be destoryed!

Dukey Roc try a stool-softer and quit straining

Mike Hunt at October 26, 2007 10:05 PM

Its called they got DESTORYED by a FASTER and better team. No TD's for Northview.. LOL

Robles, Farmer, Jones, Knowles, did you show up tonight? LOL

Northview doesn't belong in the top 20!

Hey RU kidding me... Where are you at now?

Du Roc You Fool

You Are Not Funny

I Get Out Next Wednesday.

Have The Car Waiting

Amat lost to Crespi 55-5

Fred:

Get Northview out of the top ten.. They suck and the Viking picture is a joke.

3 points... THEY WERE DOMINATED BY THE SAINTS AND THE 1-2-3- PUNCH IS ALIVE AND WELL AND COMING BACK AGAIN NEXT YEAR!

Du Roc
You su** for your crack? or just back into it?

I WET MYSELF WHEN I REALIZED COVINA WAS NOT PLAYOFF BOUND. NO, REALLY, I WET MYSELF. I GOTTA GO.

Thoughts on CO vs. LA:

1) How many more injuries is LA going to have this season? Tonight you can add the following to the list: C/DT Leonard Magallon; MLB Richard Maciel; WR/DB Ryan Howing; WR/DB Jorge Perez (he was the kid airlifted out) Not sure how many, if any of these are season ending injuries, but none of them were on the field the entire second half.

2) Charter Oak is the best team we've played all season, with South Hills being a close second. Just my opinion

3) Los Altos REALLY needs to work on tackling. Tonight was the worst diplay of fundamental tackling I've seen in a long time.

4) All credit goes to Charter Oak and their coaches. They manhandled us and responded well to our early spurt.

5) Los Altos is a shell of its early self. I would have loved to see this game with all the Conq's healthy...that would have been fun. Oh what could have been.

San Dimas was dominating in every aspect in their game againt Northview. Played their best game all season. #22 and #23 played BIG.

Go SD Band !!!

COVINA WENT FROM FIRST WITH MIKE AND OUT OF IT WITHOUT HIM

THERE MAY BE A THREE WAY TIE IN VALLEY VISTA, BUT COVINA WILL NOT BE IN IT

#1 Falcon Fan-Hey homie! How's County? When you gettin' out? Did you beat your case? Holla at the homies. We'll party when you get released. Call me if you need a ride. Late!

PLAID LAD-I saw your wife on the cover of "Crack Whore" magazine. That's tight. Yo, tell that trick Du Roc said, "Whazzup!".

IT'S FUNNY HOW NORTHVIEW GOT THEIR ASS'S HANDED TO THEM TONIGHT,NORTHVIEW, NOW SHUT UP AND CRAWL BACK INTO THAT LITTLE HOLE YOU CAME OUT OF!SO MUCH FOR YOUR LEAGUE TITLE,LOOKING LIKE A THREE WAY TIE.

I went to the LA vs CO game tonight and it was pretty sloppy, lots of turnovers. CO has a nice offense. That sophmore RB is the real deal.

LA had another major injury tonight, I hope the kid is okay. They had to Medivac him out of the stadium.

LA just looks like they don't have enough with all of the injuries, too bad.

The playoffs will be interesting with LA being depleted and DR having their problems.

CO spotted LA 14 points in the first 3 mins. Then scored 35 unanswered points. If not for a couple of mistakes and again some VERY BAD officiating, CO could have easily put up 60 points. Even with 21 points scored against them, CO's defense is a beast!

WTF happened to Northview?

CO spotted LA 14 points in the first 3 mins. came back with 35 unanswered points! If not for some mistakes an poor officiating, CO could have put up 60 points easy! Even with 21 points scored against them, CO's defense is a beast!

Co looks to be real
49 points on Los Altos
I believe a rematch with El Dorado is in the works

Ooouch! Talk bout a whipping...41-12! Oh well Coach Martin gets a gimme this yr. I do think they have made some big steps in heading the right direction.

Keep pressing on Brahmas!

c/o 1993

ok come on northview -- man up and score some points!!!!!!!!!

whose winning the south hills game shut up dirt rock

PLAID LAD

Why was only Duarte @ basset canceled?

about Damien's mcmahon.... He is suspended over an accident with a freshman... He was driving his car and the freshman was in the way.. the freshman pulled his foot in and out (fooling around) and mcmahon accidently ran over his foot...He apoligized but that wasnt enough for Damien's deans... that is the reason for tonights suspension

its funny how covina might not make the playoffs!

or, maybe bassett wants to give MNF (and glendora-chino) some competition ;)

Bassett- atleast ganesha played us and the sad thing about that is they came to us. its at your place.. scared a little bit yes?

Falcon Pride.

I agree basset does not want to play. Maybe they can team up with La Puente. What am I saying they would still get spanked.

Go Falcons

Warrior,
Ha Ha Ha Pendejo or not we are still your daddy till you beat us...
I hope your kids are'nt sore losers like you. They will lose to the Falcons...

Go Falcons

falcon pride... is the game going to be played at a later time or is it just plain out cancelled??

FALCON PRIDE: now that was totally uncalled for. with an additude like that, i wouldn't be surprised if you have the need to gasp for air.
GOOD LUCK !!

I heard that all other games in our league are still on for tonight. Bassett probably just doesn't want to play us.

My son plays with Duarte and he just informed me that their game with Bassett has been canceled for tonight. This is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Okay Damien. Timne to forget the past and kick the crap out of someone less fortunate than you. Diamond Bar is just in the first year of their rebuilding program, sorry there's the word again, anyway let's stay focused here. When you look across the field don't see purple and gold think Riverside Poly. They've then your little brother for awhile so beat the snot of of them tonight! Mchaan goes for 300 yards tonight all purpose. Simmons registers 14 tackles and Sharererer,reyes and Rabe go for 8 sacks. Tonight it all comes together. Play to your ability and everything will be fine. Then bring the Chino warriors into Sparta for an ambush. 3-2 gets DHS into the playoffs and a first round game against Norco. Sounds like the 300 all over against! Shock the world!!!!

Chingon? Pendejo sounds more like it.

FATMAN if you are listening oh such carnage, such carnage they were carting those poor kids off the field at the Baldwin Park/Pomona game it was such a tragedy that these kids had to roll out a combine total of 55 points in such awful conditions. I swaer I saw kids caughing up ashes left and right and the EMT's were so busy a whole squad of abulances had to be called in just to handle all the carnage. Such a tragedy to see these kids sucking in bad air for a whole whopping 3 hours. I swear school offials should be held accountable for such a disaster. Oh well when their all lawyered up with lung problems when these kids are 80 years old and suing the school districts for playing in the smoke and ash they can always say so goof named FATMAN was in their corner. Suck it up get out there and play!

Congrats to La Puente. It sounds like they are coming toghether as a team. Now theres a team that can give us a good game in this league. I hope they are not sore losers because next week they will have a loss to the Falcons.

Go Falcons...

sounds like a great guy
we need more people like him then =D

We've needed someone like Coach Hernandez at La Puente for a very long time. I've felt like our teams have always worked hard but it would never show on the field. Finally, we have someone that is helping us put it all together. I agree with Trojan Man: He's a great guy, knows football, and congratulations. Good Luck tonight Warriors!!!

maybe nogales should get people in that pool then
since silvette took over, theyve struggled...
*sigh*

other coaches went on to success (eg randall @ jw north)

oh wells...

Since they hired another former Panther to be HEAD COACH . From what I hear I think he was ALSO a UCLA guy too , but I won't hold that AGAINST HIM .
Ray is a GREAT GUY , KNOWS FOOTBALL ! His former teammates & players alike will all tell you the same . CONGRATS RAY & LA PUENTE . I wish you all continued sucess...

FIGHT ON

TM

since WHEN did la puente became so good? lol

I guess it's that part of the season

for like the first time in history, you guys all agree on the same picks
