Off and Running
By Fred J. Robledo
Staff Writer
COVINA - With more than half of the San Gabriel Valley High School football teams opting for "Week 0" games the first week of September, "Hell Week" started early on Monday, which begins the grueling journey of two-a-day practices, sore muscles and ice packs.
New coach Steve Hagerty began his hopeful task of restoring Bishop Amat's proud tradition, while West Covina got a jump on others by starting late last week.
Bishop Amat and West Covina start the season on Sept. 5, with the Lancers on the road against Los Osos while the Bulldogs host El Rancho.
"There's finally light at the end of the tunnel," Bulldogs coach Mike Maggiore said. "We have three more weeks to go after talking about things for the last eight months. The kids are excited."

After 41 years of coaching and more than two decades at Charter Oak, coach Lou Farrar said the grass still smells the same and his feelings about the first days of practice haven't changed either.
The Chargers opened camp on Monday in preparation for their Sept. 5 opener at Aliso Niguel.
"I don't ever get tired of it," Farrar said. "It's a special day for the coaches, because this is our sanctuary. It's our vacation from the rest of the world.
"As I was walking off the field this morning there wasn't an arthritic pain in my body. I'm sure it will hurt like (heck) when I get back to the house, but that excitement, the anticipation, it just takes all the pain away."
To prepare for the long hot days, there were three tables and more than 60 gallons of water available to players throughout Charter Oak's practice, which brought a chuckle from Farrar, who recalled his days of playing for Charter Oak in the 1960s.
"When you got thirsty in my day you found a water fountain," Farrar said. "I don't even think players brought water bottles to practice. I sure as heck know our coaches didn't bring them for us."
Practice sessions have evolved, too.
"We don't do monkey rolls, bear crawls, and all that sort of stuff anymore," Farrar said. "And when you got something taped up back then, it was a sign you were hurt and people came after you. Now, everyone gets taped up."
All joking aside, Farrar said setting a tone in the opening practice is vital, and few do it better than the Chargers, who have one of the longest-tenured coaching staffs in they Valley.
"We have a certain way we do things, and we do them on time and with maximum effort," Farrar said. "We had a couple kids who transferred in, so this was the first time they went through this. I asked one of them, `what do you think of this?' He said he had never been through anything like it. "So I said, `Welcome to Charter Oak, this is how we run things. We don't walk and we say yes sir, no sir.' I think he got it."
The Chargers' freshman players were the first to arrive at 5:30 a.m., with Farrar pulling one off to the side later in the morning.
"He was a little nervous, a little scared," Farrar said. "I told him it was normal, and that this is a time in his life he must enjoy because it will be over before he knows it."
Some things were normal, however, like smooth-throwing third-year starting quarterback Chris Allen, who not only led the Chargers to back-to-back Miramonte League titles but also the CIF-SS Divisional finals in 2006 and the semifinals in 2007.
"Since the spring he's been doing everything we've asked, he's put in the training, has done well at camps, and he knows our system inside and out," Farrar said of Allen, coming off a season in which he threw for 1,575 yards and 15 touchdowns. "Adam Muema, our junior running back, has been sensational too.
"Between the two of those guys, that's a lot of offense. We feel good about our ability to move the chains and put points on the board."

Ex-Wilson Play,
As stated in the pass no one really knows. I asked the question to a couple of players on the varisty team yesterday. They told me "We don't know he keeps changing it" I saw him running some I back yesterday.
What offense are they running, all this talk and not one person can really say anything relevant to football.
football jones,
Maybe the kids read the blogs, but they are also on the field being coached by him. The upper classmen have been coached in the passed by Coach O, who is a teacher, they see the difference. Hoyd should have been working with the kids these last few months instead of wasting his time with fundraisers so he can pay is coaches more money.
Did you know that his freshmen summer camp was only eight days, the freshmen coach didn't want to make the drive from Orange County. Did you also know that they started spring camp last Monday 18th while everyone else started two a days on the 14th.
Coach Hoyd's offense is simple. Give the ball to Gilmore and hope that the other teams tackle like his previous teams. He has no cofidence in any of Wilson kids when he highlites one kids accomplishments and not the other. It takes a team to win games not a player. Look at his website "Watch Gilmore Hightlites".
ASAP(Another Sorry As? Player)
http://www.leaguelineup.com/topnews.asp?url=gwhsfootball&sid=221365400&itemid=1714489
The next DeSpain hahahahahahahahahaha!@!!
'Hoyd is a joke'
Maybe coach Hoyd is simply requesting a few kind words because he knows his players read these blogs.
Remember, these are kids....
~Football Jones
Hoyd is going around to the booster club board and asking them to come on the blog and say nice things about him. That is classic !!!!
Another great one is the kids are questioning what offense they are running. Hoyd changes his mind every couple of weeks. You can't blame the guy, he has zero offensive experience.
Can
the next despain? baa haa
he couldnt carry despains jock if he had help.
EVV,
You are so full of cr#p, I don't think you would know the truth if it bit you in the butt!!
The siutation has been taken care of by the school board. And all parties of interest are now following the aggreed timetables set but the Board. Thank you School board.
Please leave Coach Hoyd before he starts crying.
He is the next DeSpain of the area.
AHA!!! Now we have the bottom line to the whole negative PR blitz. It's a turf war!!!!! OMG.
Would you like a list, like the list of PW players, to prove the absence of the argument about the 'taxpayer's' property. March on up to the White House and demand your access as a taxpayer. You're making a mockery of yourself and your program. Is this what the governing body of Pop Warner wants to place out there?The School programs take priority and the Board of Directors first responsibility is the students of their district. The community claim of ownership is as a constituency only not that Pop Warner has a claim on a school. Grow UP!!!!
Everyone, please leave Coach Hoyd alone. He is a good coach, and a better coach than I could ever be.
Thank you very much.
sevenduece,
All of Wilson High School property belongs to the tax payers of this community including the fields. The fields are governed by the school board and no one else. They determine Priority and them alone.
The board also had this situation under control until Coach Hoys decided to make is own agenda. The coach is an employee of the tax payers. He needs to follow rules just like we pay taxes.
no matter how many successful players have come from pop warner, the high school program STILL has priority over any community organization. i do think it's interesting how you shifted the focus of your post though... good try.
Don,
He He He He I absolutely loved your post!! Thanks for the smile buddy
Would it now be fair to say that all of this acrimony has been due to the Wilson Administrators selecting a coach who was not approved of by the ruling class in the local kiddie ball program? Worse, somebody from another kiddie ball program was selected. Horrors!
Almost like being passed over or ignored, like I suggested almost a month ago, huh?
You guys need to get after something better suited to your skills. I'm thinking an inventory of the nacho cheese dip is in order.
get a job,
this information must of touched nerve. You must of been one those Pop Warner haters. The Facts are the Facts
Popwarner,
It seems they have let the cat out of the bag. You guys are the ones that have started all this.
But the truth is Popwarner kids and parents want to play for a winning program.
With little or no freshman at Wilson it looks to me Wilson will have no incoming Talent. Which will make for alot of mediocre years at Wilson.
Hoyd has dug his own grave. You just don't fool around with the community like that. Parents and kids never forget when they have been dealt a bad deal.
To be honest with you I am kind of Happy this is all happening, Los Altos has always been the school of choice for my son and me.
I mean it's been 5 years since LA was on top. I look foward to watching my son play for LA and winning that Wheel YEAR after YEAR.
Thank you,
Popwarner!
WOW EVV way too much time on your hands!! And by the way; get a dictionary;
cummunity???? it's community Einstein
All of Wilson High School propoperty belongs to the tax payers of this cummunity including the fields. The fields are governed by the school board and no one else. Football has no priorty over anyone. They must follow the rules set by the school board when using public property.
You can not build a football program without the support of local feeder programs.
The greatest coaches know this (DeSpain).
For those people who think Pop Warner does not produce great talent look
at this list.

footballfollower,
Well put! I would be willing to bet that EVERYBODY sans maybe 3 would be in total agreement with you.
Give Hyod a chance, let him build his program.
I have nothing at stake and have no one involved in the situation but I have watched the situation unfold the last few years.
It seems that the HLP Pop Warner people are stiring it up.
If you remember HLP was formed by the people that didn't get their way at the Hacienda Heights JAA league. They were causing decension in the community back then. HLP leadership was a group of parents that wanted to kiss the coaches of LA and Wilson's butt before their children got there. Now that the coaching at Wilson has changed and they have no input they are stirring it up. Remember they wanted one of their past coaches with some freshman experience to be the head coach. I am not a Clegg favorite and this comes from way back to his Amat days but he made the right decision in going outside of that little inner circle that they call the HLP Pop Warner. As for the field issue, the high school has the first rights to their fields, HLP believes it is their right. Coach Hoyd has the right to practice any time that he wants as long as it is withing the CIF guidelines. Back off the coach and let him go to work, the more that he has to meet with these people the more time he has to take away from his job as a head coach trying to build a program.
As for all the Pop Warner records, that is thrown out the door in high school. High school football is a different monster. Pop Warner and JAA is where the fundamentals of football are first instilled into these young men. A good POP Warner of JAA player doesn't always equate to a good high school player, we see it every year.
Just give Hoyd his space to build the team and HLP get off his back. Playing on his field you should be supporting him.

EVV,
the high school program has priority over any community organization.
Outside Looking in, You are wrong. Coach Hoyd does not own the fields. They belong to the community. They are public facitities that are governed buy the school board. He must submitt a schedule to use the facilities. He decided not to follow the set schedule and disrupted Wilson's Band Practice as well as the youth football program.
I am outside looking in this situation. I am not a fan of wilson or LA. but can you guys please stop bashing on him. His team hasn't even taking a snap yet. Let the boys play. you never know what might happen. this is sad. a bunch of 45 year old moms bashing on a guy for off the field problems. Its WILSON HIGH SCHOOL. SO coach hoyd can hold practice any time he darn wants TO.
I would like to thank Coach Hoyd from all of us at LA we are loving it. Your are making our job easy. Our freshmen team has more kids than your whole program. Once again,
THANK YOU
Living Legend, you can say anything you want about me, I deleted several comments, maybe my name was looped in with some of the bashing, I don't know. But if you've been following these blogs, you know that I rarely, and I mean rarely, delete criticism's about myself. I'm as fair game as the next person.
The only thing Hoyd has united in the last few months is cash in his pocket.
To Get A Job
YOU ARE DEAD ON!!! Your observations are exactly correct. This is what everyone else is commenting against. There are 3 - 4 people that are bombarding this blog and there are dozens that have been trying to defend against the hatred. There are clear lies that have been posted, all the way to using other people's names. It's really easy to spot. I'm thinking the Pop Warner's are trying to take over the Wilson facility. What's being taught here. By the way, there is a way to trace sites through IP addresses. If it came up to a legal issue, there are ways to do it. It's almost there now from the sounds of it.
I following quote from WTH kind of sums it up.
"Were going takes this much further than this blog. Look for all the signs that will be posted all over this area and during their games.
Our mission statement is simple get coach Hoyd fired or until he quits.
Hoyd thank you for uniting a cummunity for common cause."
I would never teach or practice to unite a community with hatred...or 'cummunity'...what's that!!!
Man, who is watching over our kids????
Hey Fred how come my last post did not make this thread, could it be cause I called you out? I know it is not cause I cursed or attack a child. Are you the sensitive that if someone questions you that you cant handle it and therefore just censor there comments? I did'nt know this is Beijing!
Who knows maybe you'll post this one.

I just whacked about 25 Wilson-Hoyd comments that went to far. Again, if you want to be critical, choose your words carefully. We finish our end of the football tab on Monday, so I'll head out to the Wilson campus and football practice next week, with a video interview for all you Wilson folks.
As usual the talk of "other" sport's i.e. girls volleyball, x-country, soccer etc. is somehow left out of the tribune sports blogs. When are the editors of these papers going to wake up and realize not everybody is concerned with only boys football.
Look for all the signs that will be posted all over this area and during their games.
Posted by: WTH | August 20, 2008 1:16 PM
I don't get it, does WTH hate the football team? Did someone on the team insult her boy? Does she not realize that the boys read these blogs? I am sure her son would be so embarrassed if he knew the things she was writing on this blog. Come on now, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
Administration, you have no clue who I am. The sign you will see will be posted by Wilson it-self. Score Board will read
Home 0 Vistors 50 by half time.
WTH,
Why in the world would you want to post negative signs during the football game? I PROMISE YOU if there are any negative signs posted where the boys can see them, we will deal with you and you spouse accordingly!! If you think we are bluffing on this, then call our bluff!! We know who you are and as of yet, you have just been annoying, so unless you want your only income to come to an abrupt halt I suggest you put an end to this right now!
After watching a couple of our practices I'm convinced we're going to make some real noise in the Miramonte League this year. The boys look great, and I can't wait to stomp the Saints. The VVL is a joke, and they don't even belong on the same field with us.
Well, I've been gone for awhile and it's interesting to see that some folks are still at it. The SGV is being swarmed by 4 people that have only one purpose, and it's clear. There is pure, unadulterated hatred and they are bound and determined to keep it going. They've stated their opinion over and over and over ad nauseum. Guess what, they are embarrassing!!! No one else's opinion matters cause their opinions are the only ones. They won't go away, you can't counterpoint them. If something is true, or not, you can't figure it out. They attack everyone within reach and frankly I don't think anyone cares anymore. I've said it before, to much time on their hands. Get back on your wheel and start working out. You'll be the better for it and maybe the rest of us can get some peace.
Or, just maybe Wilson will have a bang up season and folks will be flowing through the gates to see the hottest subject in the San Gabriel Valley!!!! Our boys are there for the sport of it and the rhetoric carries no weight.
So, who are the 3 stooges?????
Coach Hoyd you may have started this battle but where going to finish it. You decided to change your schedule to screw over the High schools band & Pop Warner.
We know you allowed Semi-pro teams to play on Wilson field with out permission. We have it on video.
Were going takes this much further than this blog. Look for all the signs that will be posted all over this area and during their games.
Our mission statement is simple get coach Hoyd fired or until he quits.
Hoyd thank you for uniting a cummunity for common cause.
This is just embarrassing for the entire Wilson Football program. Not to mention the HLP program. How far are you people going to go with this Bull$HIT? If you think you are helping the situation, no good can come from this. Don't you think the players are reading this? If ANY of you have ANY kind of pride for your kids or the Wilson Football program, please keep this internal. You are quickly becoming the laughing stock of the ESGV.
This is SAD!
"HLP Supporter"
We've all seen the product(s) of the Pop Warner system when they get to the high school level.
A bunch of spoiled, undersized, crybabies. Watch a freshman team hitting drill, and you can pick out the PW players, by the tears in their eyes, as they look to the sidelines for their mommies...LOL
WTH,
Why do you have to say such mean things about the football players? I can see bantering about the coach but to pick on CHILDREN is just plain MEAN AND UGLY!!! Why don't you just knock it off
I am just really curious, who are the three stooges??
WTH,
I am sure carrying around that much hatred could NOT be healthy, my advise is for you to transfer your son to another high school, let everybody else worry about their own children and never give Coach Hoyd another thought. All this hatred you are blogging makes you sound very ugly!!!
SGV Doesn't Care About Wilson,
HLP, Best Youth Football Program in the Valley hands down. Two teams to the National Championships in the first two years something that no other team in the Nation has every done.
All I am going to say about the Los Altos comment is that you are so far from the truth, that I am LOL. You will see why in the next few days, idiot.
"WTH"
Yea, if you can't play by the rules, then let's just throw the rule book away.
You all scream at Hoyd for being part of the Tustin cheating, but how much cheating took place at HLP? Obviously the HLP folks had the low standards to accomplish what needed to be done...
SGV Doesn't Care About Wilson,
The those three people drew national attention to this area buy sending multiple teams to national playoffs. Even USC acknoledge there great accomplishments.
" fire coach hoyd"
Well Patricia,
If your "WERE IN IT TO WIN IT". You are supporting the wrong coaching Staff.
The only coaching staff in this area that will help any program be successful is Pop Warner & Cougars.
These programs are the future of this area. Look at DeSpain he supported the youth football 100%. He new his future resides in these kids.
Cougars support LA 100% that leaves Pop Warner. Oops Hoyd pissed them off.
Pop Warner is going to stick to Hoyd just like they did his pop warner teams.
Your new Motto should be "WERE IN IT TO Lose IT".
LA new motto "Thank You Coach HOYD we love it keep up the bad coaching"
Fred,
Once again why is it that the only supports of Hoyd are a bunch of females that know zero about football and a couple of kids that are starting so they think he is great. It should also be noted that Hoyd is now looking for a new quarterback, so if I were you Eric I would stay off this blog supporting Hoyd, he sure isn't supporting you.
Hi Fred,
I’m happy that you have taken the time to speak to our Coach Hoyd. I hope it was clear that you can't make everyone happy all of the time. As you well know people do not like change, so when Coach Hoyd came to Wilson he arrived with many great ideas. Sadly some people cannot adjust to the new situations. So instead of working it out, they go back into the box and complain and spread vicious rumors. Well we are in high school, but I believe some got confused and thought they were still students IN school.
I also wanted to inform you that our last meeting was 100% improved and united. I am certain that All the bad apples will go away. We will continue to work together and help the Coach, our school and our players succeed in every way possible.
Fred you are more than welcomed to come and join our meeting. Then maybe you will take this blog off and let people talk it out. At the meeting everyone is welcomed to express their opinions.
Wilson Booster Motto: WERE IN IT TO WIN IT!!

What is this about Hoyd not allowing HLP to play in the stadium this year? I was told that they were attempting to keep the usage down and that was the reason why they were not allowing HLP to use the stadium. Why would they allow a out of area semi-pro team to play at the field and not our own kids, what is up with that. I heard that over at LA they are allowing the football teams to play on the stadium field. We should move over to LA, and play our games over their.
WTF...man I thought those Amat bloggers were bad, they have toned it down allot. Wilson, man your dirty laundry takes you to the top of the Cheese list.
you know me, Your Coach (Hoyd)is a Joke. You haven't even started getting in full pads. Your drills are use-less.
Wait until you start hitting you guys are soft.
Every team in this valley is a week ahead of you.
SGV doesn't care...,
actually I am what I am. I can't speak for the other monikers but we're NOT the same person. I only post ONCE in a while and ONLY under this name.
I am actually a Covina alumn(c/o'98). I played under both Dick Sheehan and Coach Thomas.
However, I more than anything am a football player(once always j/l a Marine)and most of all I am an SGV football fan.
Personally, I feel that the SGV needs to get it's stuff together and it's rears out of it's respective head and follow suit with the rest of the prestigeous So.Cal football scene, which is instead of spreading it's talent out, pick the best couple programs and load them with talent to better compete with the rest of the HS football landscape.
Hence the Santa Clarita Valley... Hart, Canyon Country, Valencia(although on the decline), and West Ranch(who is on the rise. Hmmm...)are top notch and all the schools, well... have you ever heard of them?
Sure the OC and IE have more but they are also bigger areas...multiply the land multiply the number of successful schools by square mile.
make sense?
In my opinion the best public school program in the area for various reasons including tradition and coaching is Los Altos. If parents from Chino Hills to El Monte and Montebello to Covina would get it through there heads that top level football is played with DEPTH and NOT one-man shows ala San Dimas, SEM, and Wilson to name a few, and that they don't HAVE to send their kid to Amat or Damien(BTW, LA defeated the Spartans 3 out of 4 games), but rather have an alternative then the South Hills, Charter Oaks, and Los Altos' of the SGV can begin to have true success or in the case of SH and LA go back to their top flight glory days.
And believe it or not the Amats and Damiens will be more successful in part to the NEW rivalries that can transpire rather trying to recruit against the "up and coming" Cantwell type programs.
SGV wake up!!! Stop it with the A.Y.S.O. mentality unless you want your football to continue to be mediocre and desirvingly so disrestpected.
Parents HLP is a great program.
p.s. I sent my little brother who is from Azusa to LA. Gave him a choice between Amat or LA. He made the choice.
Yeah lets talk Amat if there is any kids wanting to play football and they are at wilson transfer to Amat,LA or pop warner just get away from Hoyd
lets talk amat, please!
Most of the orginal board members are still involved with the league. They have a couple of board members that have moved on to High School.
Calm down I call for a hush .. You can call for the firing of any coach, just don't get personal. Keep your criticism's based on performance, and nothing else.
Hoyd go crawl back into the hole you came from in Mississippi. Your days are numbered here.
Watch for the posted signs all over the Valley.

Hoyd is crazy, the best youth football program in the Valley and you piss off all those parents. All Hoyd has is Gilmore and he is going to run him to the ground. That Pop Warner Midget team would destroy Hoyd's JV team, what a joke. Hoyd had 10 freshmen show up to practice on Monday. Hoyd was the joke of Orange County now he is the joke of Orange County San Gabriel Valley. Please go back to Tustin.
Who is going to be number 8?????????
"Hoyd is a JOKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"WTH"
"Neutral perspective"
"EVV"
"LA Football Parent ...... and Glad"
Hey, pick one NAME, and stick with it. You think you're being sneaky by using different NAMES, and nobody's going to notice? What a bunch of mental midgets they've got up on that hill at Wilson.
As far as your program goes, welcome to your own nightmare. Your problems began when the three stooges started up the HLP Pop Warner program to begin with. You made your bed...
Just to give you an example how much Hoyd cares about the kids in this community. He does care about the future of Wilson's football program.
He does not have freshman team. Then he turns around pisses off the only feeder program in the area Pop Warner. Wilson not have a freshman team next year either. Pop Warner will feed every program in the area but Wilson. Wilson football is over.
Pop Warner help LA back to its pass glory and remove all your wilcat teams and conver them into LA Conquerors.
Hoyd your done
Pop
I was at both those games two years ago. Those games were a perfect example of Hoyd's coaching ability. The regular season game HLP Wildcats had a running clock in the third quarter on Hoyd's defense. Then the HLP Wildcats team played them in the semis. HLP Wildcats had a running clock on Hoyd's defense in the second quarter in that game. Hoyd made some great defensive adjustments, he figured out away to loss faster. That must be why Tustin would let Hoyd coach the defensive any more. Boy Wilson is in trouble if Hoyd is a defense specialist, because Tustin had no defense. Well last year they did figure out how they could win, cheat.
HLP,
take Wilson's name off your awesome program.
You should be and pretty much are an exclusive LA feeder anyway.
Hoydisajoke!!!!
if you haven't noticed Fred is an avid Bishop Amat fan. He only reports the "other" stuff when he feels that he needs to "even" it out a bit.
The really joke is that kids did not even have there helmets, on much less there pads. I think Hoyd still thinks he is in a Passing league or Flag football.
Hoyd you crossed the wrong people. Pop Warner has you in there bullseye. There going to rip you a part just like the did your sorry teams from the past.
SGV footballs teach this outsider what football really is.
Well now let’s see who is wrong. Wilson practice yesterday, finally. Well they had 50 kids on the field practicing with Hoyd. O Yea did I forget to mention that he had the freshmen, sophomore, juniors and seniors practicing with him. Now let’s do the math Los Altos had 65 kids practicing on the FRESHMEN team, and Wilson had 50 kids out for the whole program. O what happen to the thirteen coaches, we only saw five and two of them granulated from High School last year. That is five coaches for the whole football program and two of them are kids. Like we all said it isn’t too late you can still transfer out to a school with a football program.
GREAT JOB HOYD
What is so great about the Hoyd supporters comments, no facts. All they are talking about is parties that Hoyd puts on. They get their kids to write Fred how good of a job Hoyd is doing. Fred comes on this blog and talks about the kids being happy.
Well at least some of the 50 kids are happy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I also heard that Hoyd has gone out of his way to piss off the local Pop Warner league. He decides to change his practice to the same time as the youth football league and he also decided to have his fifty kid’s practice where HLP Pop Warner is suppose to practice. So let’s see what he has done in his first few months as head coach at Wilson. Chased away so many kids that they don’t have a freshmen team that is something that Workman and Bassett the weakest football schools in the area can’t do. He has pissed off the local youth football program so much they are looking for a new location to practice and play.
Do you know what amazes me Tustin Pop Warner won’t even let Hoyd coach the defensive. Hoyd is currently a linebacker coach on the Tustin Pop Warner Jr. Midget team. But Wilson will hire this JOKE as a Head Coach of a football program, or at least what use to be a football program.
GREAT JOB CLEGG
Fred, now we gave him a chance. Why don't you go down and see what is going on and report the TRUTH. Not that some 14 year old kid is happy or the party was fun. Lets report some facts, that is what you get paid for.
