I hope you realize that was an answer to HI SKOOL F.B FAN who wrote the below post:
WHAAAAT ! WHY IS AMAT RANKED ? THAT FOOTBALL WINNING TRADITION IS LONGER ALIVE. STOP TREATING THIS TEAM WITH SO MUCH LOVE. . . . THERE ARE A COUPLE SGV TEAMS (PUBLIC SCHOOLS) THAT WOULD BEAT AMAT ON A DAILY BASIS. AMAT HAS PROVEN THAT THEIR PROGRAM HAS LOST ITS WINNING WAYS. LETS HEAR ABOUT CHARTER OAK , SAN DIMAS, GLENDORA AND SO.EL MONTE.

glendora hands down is in a whole different league compared to Bishop Amat,
San Dimas, Diamond Ranch, West Covina, Los Altos, South El Monte, Rosemead, Bonita, Diamond Bar, Northview and Wilson
they should make a league with, saint damien, charter oak, south hills, and then rotate the next best team in the area

GO BACK TO SKOOL!
I'm guessing the football coaches that vote on the poll know a little more about the game than any of us

Ironic isnt it?
How some can complain about someone that post in a high school blog, but yet post in that same high school blog.
That's so high school!
Posted by: Ironic | August 31, 2008 10:02 AM
And this is all some guy in Glendora has to offer.
He still doesn't get it
"it's the FEET GENTLEMEN"
DUDE it's FOOTWORK and not the FEET if you played the game or coached it you'd know the difference.
Then he come in here and states.....
"stop playing the high school hanger on...it's embarassing. It's so high school...go pop some pimples or something equally productive"
SAY WHAT, So DUDE if it's just High School then why ARE YOU HANGING ON!
Oh we get it just doing something "productive" by posting a filth ridden post in a high school blog.
It is so funny we can all use your own statements to make you look so foolish.
Do you even proof what you send before you send it.
As a self appointed representative of Glendora High School football. I sure you make them very proud.
Keep up the great work so we can shred you apart somemore.You truly are the PRIDE OF THE FOOTHILLS! Class lot's of Class.

Hey Jacka$$ pull Mike's "Clone" out of your A$$ and stop playing the high school hanger on...it's embarassing. It's so high school...go pop some pimples or something equally productive and stop trying to save that worthless braggard. "it's the FEET GENTLEMEN!!!!! It's the FEET!" Oh my Sweet Lord I can hear him now. What's more pathetic? MTC who isn't even on this blog anymore (wink wink) or "You" who keeps ki$$ing his slonger for a ..."Thanks Little Buddy" pat on the butt everytime you give him blog updates. Wonder if His Highness will grace the Tartans with a visit this year on their way to back to back undefeated league titles.
You still getting together in his basement and hearing his opinion on EVERYTHING football? Talk about Jacka$$ Lo$ers....buddy here's a tip....don't swallow!...the Kool Aid...wink wink...yup it's Kool Aid alrite!

From the Tribune....
Here's another qoute from the Los Altos article about FOOTWORK which the loser from Glendora always caps on MTC about.
"I'm just trying to get him prepared as much as I can," Aguilar said. "As a player, Coach Gano did the same for me. He would pull me aside, help me with my FOOTWORK, make sure I was good in the classroom by going over the different coverages we'd see."
Dont worry loser you will eventually GET IT
Posted by: jackA$$ dont know IT | August 30, 2008 6:57 PM
From the Tribune.......
"DeSpain, 244-94-9 while winning seven divisional titles, and Gano, who was 110-30-1 while earning four CIF-SS titles, are considered two of the best coaches in the Valley's history. But instead of running from the success, Aguilar hopes to take the most from his former mentors."
When the stupids from Glendora come in here and brag bout being thirty first and winning one league championship and post something stupid about wearing headphones.
This is why coach's wear headphones bonehead they win titles
No wonder you knuckleheads made MTC crazy

Think Again,
So Hills and Charter Oak could hang with those teams where as your team got the Piss kicked out of them. Amat owns Redlands go look at the last two time Bishop Amat had played Redlands Terriers. Includes the playoffs. Glendora just has this way of losing and never getting that brass ring where as the above mentioned get farther then what glendora have ever gotten. face it man you teams chokes in big games.
Posted by: Rank tihs | August 29, 2008 12:08 PM
Rank This,
Can you honestly tell me how many teams on this list would have BEAT or even been in the same game with Redlands(two years ago) or last seasons Corona Cenntenial (#1 team in the state). Don't talk about a@@ kicking unless you really know your stuff! Which one of these SGV teams could win a CIF title in last years INLAND Divison? Please back up your response with facts. and most of all, don't compare titles in different divisions. We all know some divisions are cake walks compared to others.

Two exceptions here. First, there is no way on God's tiny green earth San Dimas out ranks Diamond Ranch. I think the JV team at DR would work SD! The Saints are about 85% hype and 15% talent this year. If you watch them practice you can see that they walk around like they're the sh*t. Like no one can touch them. They are so full of themselves, it'll be fun to watch the air leave their sails when D1 Los Altos rolls them! Second, Bonita won't have a great year, but they're better then 12. They should be around 9 with San Dimas at 10 or 11. Bonita will definitely bring home the Pot this year where it belongs. The Nico train has left the station! Rock on Bear Cats!
Posted by: Just Wondering | August 29, 2008 7:42 AM
Good to see the Millers, Bro and Sis checking in on the blog, I am feeling some San Dimas ass whoopin comin on here this year! I think the rankings are pretty accurates to this point, Watch the Saints defense take over this year. K. Withem , go get um
Posted by: Robert K | August 29, 2008 7:14 AM
Wow Glendora #1
I think the last time that they were ranked that high Amat proceeded to take them apart then they bowed out of the contract because Amat was too physical. I really don't things have changed much, back then Glendora was supposed to be this giant. I have an idea. Glendora, try to get back in the contract.
Posted by: john | August 29, 2008 7:14 AM
well said glendora. Amat is always overrated like last 2 years and last years 3-7 crappy team. they will suck again this year. they should be ranked like 400
Posted by: rank them 400 | August 28, 2008 11:20 PM
Amat is so over rated its not even funny i've seen them play and practice and they should be in the low rankings maybe in the 90's or so they are being shown to much love just cause they are D1 which they should not be playing in the first place
Posted by: Glendora Love | August 28, 2008 10:39 PM
IMO CO would beat 4 of the 5 teams ranked ahead of them. But we shall see as the season progresses. Good luck to ALL teams. I wish for a productive and safe year to all players. Lets see who is still playing the day after Turkey Day!
Posted by: CO Bro | August 28, 2008 10:06 PM
Dont worry Pasqy always blows it. Redlands gave you a a-- kicking that one year and we dont want to mention last year. "SO TARTANS TELL ME HOW MY A-- TASTE"
Posted by: RANK THIS | August 28, 2008 9:47 PM
Trojan Man, of course, is completely correct, since as has been pointed out here many times before, (by myownself as well as others), these rankings are nearly all about last year, last year's team, the league you were in last year, (and the Division), and who you played ... L A S T Y E A R.
So, of course, what we do from here; prognosticate, pick and predict.
That of course is what's fun, right?

Hey, no one likes seeing LA win more than me, but how does anyone have any clue about this years team? I have seen nothing reported here, is there info out there I'm not aware of?
Posted by: Conq76 | August 28, 2008 8:28 PM
Rankings as we all know mean
NOTHING !
As I have said on this blog time & time again we will see who is who in the SGV zoo come mid October when all teams SHOULD be firing on all cylinders .
Best of luck to the young men & women in the SGV .
Stay healthy !

Whether you buy into the Calpreps ranking system or not, the tools available there are amazing to a guy like myself who couldn't calculate himself out of a paper sack when I was in school. A little cut here, a little paste there and voila, 58 High School teams reside in my version of the San Gabriel Valley.
“My” SGV is a crescent running between the San Gabriel mountains and the San Jose/Puente foothills with the northern boundary starting in La Canada down the Arroyo and along the 710 to the 60. The eastern boundary is the LA County line. (Sadly, this geographical contraption doesn't match the circulation areas of the MNG papers but hey, you can't have everything).
Remember that this system works on historical data and this season's historical data doesn't start for a couple weeks. As I look this list over I find myself disagreeing as much as agreeing with this pre-season prognostication.
1.Glendora 38
2.Bishop Amat 36.5
3.South Hills 33.1
4.San Dimas 27
5.Diamond Ranch 22
6.St Francis 20.3
7.Charter Oak 19.7
8.Muir 19.2
9.Damien 15.6
10.West Covina 14.1
11.San Gabriel 14
12.Los Altos 10.6
13.Claremont 10.4
14.South El Monte 9.7
15.Pasadena 9.1
