How long did it take you to write this? This is Absolutely fantastic.
At least we know that Jack can add because he's not good at making sense.
All I know is that who ever wins the game will have earned another "pink" ring for the pinky.
Weak teams, weak divisions, weak rings, weak fans.
Gee Jack,
Getting to the Pac-5 finals would be great for the Lancers. THAT would mean we are one of the top teams in te NATION, since the Pac-5 is recognized as the toughest division in the country!
Let's hope that wouldn't be the score because that would mean other teams in the SGV might need to put triple-digits on their football scoreboards.
I would however, suggest that you focus your efforts and comments on Charter Oak, Diamond Ranch, and Rosemead... rather than wallowing in your Amat envy.
This is their week and we don't need to put a damper on their accomplishments by comparing them with the Lancers.
Good Luck to all
2008 C.I.F. SOUTHERN SECTION PAC-5 DIVISION FINALS
TESORO 21 21 21 21 - 84
AMAT 0 0 0 0 - 0
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FAN, I didn't know Charter Oak was in Monrovia!
LilBushLeague,
Your lack of class,bias and ignorance of the game continues to embarrass WC Bulldogs Football.
To single out the corners in the Diamond Ranch game furthur proves your lack of credibility when it comes to commenting on Bulldog Football.
The fact is that the Bulldogs were not effective at any aspect of the game which resulted in our lobsided defeat.I believe we could have played better, but the better team won that night.
To all the readers of this blog, please take LilBushLeague's comments with a grain of salt, as he is not representative of the WC Bulldog's fan base.
Good Luck to both teams in the finals.
Sonrise is a private school that is NOT in the CO District and has no residence requirements-so they have kids from all over. Amat, Western Christian, South Hills and more all have kids from Sonrise.
As I said " Royal Oak Middle School-the only middle school feeder in the district"
reality czech
Dude, you're wrong. Kids from Sonrise go to CO too! Last year 8 kids moved on to CO and 4 moved on to SD.
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FAN - that's pretty funny. "LETS KEEP OUR KIDS HOME AND MAKE OUR SCHOOLS GREAT!!" If everyone did that ChOak would be short some players-wouldn't they? That pipeline form west of the 605 might disappear. How many CO players did NOT go to Royal Oak Middle School-the only middle school feeder in the district? Be careful what you wish for.
I hope they play the final at Mt.Sac. The former home of the Bishop Amat Lancers who played there for years in front of SRO crowds. Let's hope that CO/DR can pack it too.
hey one thing...its a honor and a privilege for our kids to be playing at the big dance...the parents,coaches and especially the kids done something right! one thing for sure..at least co and dr are suiting our kids from our community..not like the big,old,fat over rated fish we call AMAT..if it wasnt for OUR kids you wouldnt be .hit!!hey i heard theres a great running back comming out of the la puente area...ya right!!! LETS KEEP OUR KIDS HOME AND MAKE OUR SCHOOLS GREAT!! good job CO and DR.......
Dang! -we won ALL of our games! Why aren't WE in the BCS championship game. I mean, after all, we beat teams like Bowling Green, Lousiana Tech, and Weber State and had a ""great win against a fired up confident San Diego State team"!!!!
DRanchhhh, keep pounding that chest, I love the smack.
Breaking wind
The guy above you got it right when he said that "it can only be in the SGV" where people are getting a little too carried away.
It's nice to root for you're team but, put it all in perspective. Most of these teams in the SGV could not hold the jock straps of the teams that were in the PAC5 playoffs.
They area all a bunch of little fish fighting over "Plankton" (sorry Spongebob, had to put that one in there)
You know you're in the SGV when people start comparing Rowland with Long Beach Poly!
LMAOOOOOOO!
I have a feeling Tesoro is going to beat Long Beach Poly down...
Did you see what they did to Orange Lutheran? Amazing...
this just in...
CO and DR to play the finals at bishop amat's stadium
i mean somebodys gotta be using that field in december
reality czech well save u a seat! 3rd row about the 28 yrd line...same place you watched the games after you got cut your senior year
reality czech,
If you want to see that go live in LB. They barely beat BA, give it up. You dont know who to go with!! How funny is that? In voice of PATRICK from spongebob squarepants cartoon, reality czech says:
"DR & CO would lose by 28+ to Long Beach poly and it'd be over by halftime", Spongebob...LMAO!!!
lets see rowlands in our division...they had only 2 losses...we were on the road...
ya id call it a big win
DR & CO would lose by 28+ to Long Beach poly and it'd be over by halftime. But you're right- CO is "by far the best team in the valley this year" as proven by that "great win against a fired up confident rowland team". really? Beating "Rowland" proves they are "by far" the best? Rowland is the standard? seriously... or were you joking? It is pretty funny.
haha i find it amusing, the adults arguing over the computer on a blog. Just let the boys play. It's going to be a great game D Ranch has a great team and So does Charter Oak. but on another note the chargers are going to return 7 starters on defenese next year, Rufus, Dallon, Youngblood, Powell, Clapper, Golden, and Smith. and also 4 starters on offense including the big one Adam Muema.
so far the trash talk is at a pretty JV level im kind of dissapointed haha
CO has been great all year and DR is getting hot at the right time
anybody who thinks this game is a blowout is just tryin to start a fire
also drancchh CO is the number 1 target on this blog and people are attacking on a daily basis...parents are only gonna take so much
C.O. Beep Beep,
LOL.....Blog community, "Venom", "Hypocrite"?? This is what I am talking about. Somebody speaks up to you people, and you try and twist words and finally you use words like that. My personal life has everything with DR. No need to go into detail. So your comment is yet again another display of how ignorant, cocky and selfish CO parent are. And look at this notion, you try to soften the blow and conclude with this:
"In spite of you, I still wish Diamond Ranch the best of luck next week and may the best team that night win!" That didnt even feel sincere copying and pasting!!!
And I'm a hypocrite!! That was mad tv to the tenth power!! Thats like Condii Rice admitting to moving into Iraq with flawed evidence!!
"With the exception of CO kids", that was actually meant to exclude them because I know that they have won (1).
Lets get something straight,dont misconstrue my words!! CO is good, they do not seem like a cocky bunch. Its their fans that bug. You guys come on here and act like they are GODS and cannot be taken down. There are teams out the there that can knock them out.
Do me a favor, search this blog and find out where a CO fan, supporter, parent or etc has even attempted to lift up another team or program. EXACTLY!!! To be honest some of you remind me of PW parents who are trying to live their lives through their kids. That very thought ignited the question about a CIF ring?? Im wondering is some of you bloggers have been there. LETS EXCLUDE THE KIDS AT CO, bc they are the only ones who have won. That question was designed to see if YOU have been there! I want to see if you have experienced that kind of pressure? GET IT RIGHT!! Look at you people, trying to assasinate my character on a blog!!! NEVER
DRanchhhh
Don't say anything to these meat heads and lets just let our boys play.Looks like the game will be at Ganesha since we have home field advantage.Should find out sometime tonight for sure were the game is at.
im a tool...no really i am
rgd2626,
Thank you for your compliments and like always your evaluations are accurate because you are one of the few people that seems to be wise probably from experience. Los Altos will be back next year but the question is will you because sounds to me you'll probably be sitting in Damien's bleachers next year. Regardless, we hope to see you Friday night and would always be a great day in the Valley if Charter Oak or Los Altos is winning a C.I.F. Championship!
DRanchhhh,
Your a father? Wow, I feel sorry for your son! You are such a poor role model if he's watching you sit at your computer spewing venom like you have been for the last 24 hours!
YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE!
In spite of you, I still wish Diamond Ranch the best of luck next week and may the best team that night win!
Diamond Ranch,
all year long i have been saying you guys were over-rated and not as good as people think. the last 2 weeks you guys proved me wrong. so, congrats to you, so far- job well done.
after saying that, next week will be different than the last two have been, i know you guys know co and you have gotten better, but so have they.they are by far the best team in the valley this year. and the coaching staff has done another great job, second to none, so congrates and good luck to you both next week.
Chareter Oak -
friday you proved to the whole valley why you guys are the best in the valley, great win against a fired up confident rowland team. good luck
You forgot one: 2000 - Los Altos drilled Charter Oak in the league season and slipped by them in the championship game.
you get a "CIF Championship" just for bein" there? or do you have to win?
and for once dranccch is right, let the kids play on the field. Talk is cheap, i'am sure both teams are going to play their hearts out. but after it's all done we can come on here and talk all the trash we want.
reality check, here's a reality check. ya he did say co kids, chris allen, evan williams, tyler perri, kylie ryecraw were all on charter oak's finalist team when they lost to el dorado.
DRanchhhh - I know you didn't just write, "with the exception of CO kids"...
did you?
Now you guys are trying to assasinate the character of Roddy Layton!! Keep Goin, this is just to funny!!
Know this, DR is healthy now. Again, CO good luck on saturday. Let the kids tell this story with their play next week, not us, the bloggers, parents etc. BTW with the exception of CO kids, how many of you people in here have ever experienced a CIF championship of your own?? If so school and year?? I happen to be a Dominguez Don, 93-97 1 ring, semi's 3x's!!!
except...
1999 and 2000 co beat garey in leauge and in the semi's
2001 co beat los altos in leauge and in the finals
2006 la mirada in preseason and in the first round
2007 wes co in preseason and the 2nd round
2008 to be determined haha
dr people r really talkin about beatin a wc team that really sucked if they wouldve played rowland they wouldve gotten beat brandon is way better than ricky nd of course ur gona look dominatin if wc bases its whole offense on ricky try to stop the many face of the co offence nd the great wall of charter oaks defence dr is good but not that good btw roddy is a a$$hole
I AM NOT FROM CHARTER OAK, SO I DON'T WANT YOU GUYS TO THINK MY PREVIOUS POST WAS FROM THEM. I DIDN'T MEAN STAY OFF THE BLOG AS IN DON'T VISIT THE WEBSITE. I MEANT IT AS IF YOUR TEAM IS OUT, STOP BRINGING THEM UP. LET THE TEAMS WHO ARE STILL IN IT TALK SOME TRASH, OR FEEL WELCOME TO GIVE YOUR IDEAS. BUT THE WHOLE "WE WILL GET YOU BACK NEXT YEAR" BULLSH** IT GETTING LAME.
I am a Charter Oak fan D-Mo, but that was a funny post. does anyone know how bad De la Hoya's face looked? I heard he lost pretty bad and he came in a lot heavier.
HS Football Fan,
"Charter" is when you get on someone elses boat for a ride. "Oak" is the wood they beat you down with.
Clear?
My brother and i attend a lot of games. He told me this would be a great cinderella story for D.R. I agreed. But just because this would be a great story, we both agree Charter Oak is just too strong. I really hope it's a close game instead of a blowout. I only say this because sat. game against W.C. was really boring. Fridays game against Rowland was really exciting. Good luck to both coaches. And to the bloggers, keep up the trash talking. It's all entertaining and in good fun. Readers, don't take the comments so personel. Most of them are probably just kids venting.
DRanchhhh, Your funny, keep stirring that pot brother.
charter oak?...what is a charter oak?...a type of tree??? a passing vote?....maybe next year you will GROW SOME and scheduale some competitive teams...then all your smak talk would have some substance...
hahahaha faces of fear huh? you are a weirdo, trying to notice are facial expressions is that what you paid 8 dollars for to look at us in the stands? Can't wait to play d-ranch going to be a great game. We are #1 partna'ss!!!!!!
The Truth,
I only type and speak your handle, HEY, Thanks for the recognition. Im sure it inspired Rowland readers!!
Toodles!!
WELL WELL WELL LOOK AT US NOW....HEY MAYBE IT WAS'NT A GOOD IDEA COMMING TO THE GAME CHARTER CHOKE!!THOSE FACES DIDNT LOOK BORED.....I SAW THE LOOK OF FEAR..YES FEAR..CHARTER
CHOKE THIS IS NOT THE SAME TEAM YOU PLAYED A FEW WEEKS AGO..YOU KNOW!!ANYWAY CO YOU BELONG AT THE BIG DANCE..YES YOU ARE #1 IN THE SGV....IT WILL JUST BE MORE PLESENT RIPPING THAT RANK FROM YOU!!!WHAT EVER HAPPENES NEXT WEEK...GREAT WORK ON GETTING WHERE YOU ARE BOTH TEAMS ARE GOOD BUT ONLY ONE TEAM COULD BE GREAT!!!!!WE ARE DR....
Here is an example of the kind of admiration and appreciation we should have for DRanchhhh demonstrating honor, respect, sportsmanship, and valor for the Diamond Ranch football program.
ROWLAND....READ and MANIFEST. They (CO) are a group of young men like yourselves. They dont take steroids and are not super human. They just happen to be a very well "recruited" team. Nothing wrong with that. They (CO) breathe the same air, bleed the same blood, and lift the same weights you lift. I know some of you players are looking at this blog and thinking pessimistically, but you cant. That TEAM is beatable. 16-7 with 3:20 left in the fourth quarter, should tell you something. Dont trip about being an underdog. We have been that for the last 3 years.
And as for CO you will be surprised at what a younger, scarier kid will do to a bully when backed into a corner. Keep talking, you guys might choke on your charge!!!

PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDN'T THROW STONES!
Husky Pride,
I hear you about "losing to the champ," but quite frankly, it's getting kind of old over at Muir.
2004: 2nd round loss to Notre Dame (eventual champ)
2005: 2nd round loss to Notre Dame after 10-7 halftime lead (eventual champ)
2006: 2nd round loss to Colony (eventual champ)
2008: 1st round loss to DR (CIF finalist/possible champ)
Yeah, that sh** gets old!!! Good luck to both teams this week, may the best team win.
Damit....You CO people are still mouthing off. Its Sunday, go to church, ask for forgiveness. Let it go already, We are intimidated, we are scared, we are going to fall, we are going to loose to you twice this year, yada yada yada. You just remember 1 THING, WE ARE DR. I have been saying this from the start.
I noticed one of you Nice CO fans said that I disappeared off of the blogs,umm.....yea right. I just dont mouth off and put other hard working teams down. I happen to think positive about other programs. You people cant seem to look past that and everyone who blogs here, notices it. So, Ill conclude with this, Good game WC, you guys were strong from what I understand, CO, good luck in a competition next weekend. We, and the rest of us look forward to a great football game that will be played by the KIDS.
p.s. How cocky is it for a CO fan to tell people to stay off the BLOG because they may have been elimintated?? UNREAL...You guys remind me of the movies where the Bully gets knocked out at the end of the movie!!!
LilBushLeague
How in anyway shape or form diss WC? That entire blog was there to congratulate DR on their succes. And it looks real good when you jump ship and say i picked DR to win it anyways... Yea right.
As for next year dont worry how were looking. With our entire WR/DB core coming back along with Jamel Hart, you will enjoy watching us take it to you.
But that is next year as for this year, Good luck to both teams... But as for me I would like to have lost to the Champs!!!
GO DR!
Good game Diamond Ranch,
what can I say, that was total domination by your
team. with no speed in the secondary Sermons and Spirlin were too fast for us.
We would have been a more worthy opponent but we've
been missing our two corners for a few weeks and a linebacker for this week, I knew this would hurt us when we came across a good team cause those players had the speed to compete at this level, but even with these missing players you guy's still win cause you shut down our offense, but at least we might have made it a respectable game.
West Covina has a bright future for the next few years, lots of key players returning and some good ones coming up the ranks,
if the injury bug and other problems stay away we could be one of the better teams in the SGV for a few more years.
If your not in the finals stay off the bloggs ?
WTF is that all about ?
No way that was a semi-final game last night. It looked more like a DR warm up game against the WC JAF.
How on Earth did the Bulldogs get this deep?
DR, best to forget last night. Chargers are coming! Death by electrocution - to coin a phrase. Any last words?
IF YOUR NOT IN THE FINALS, STAY OFF THE BLOG.... ALL THE SMACK YOU'VE TALKED ALL SEASON, MEANS NOTHING UNLESS YOUR IN THE FINALS. SO LETS HEAR IT..... ROSEMEAD, DIAMOND RANCH, CHARTER OAK...... YOU GUYS ARE IN THE FINALS, CONGRATS AND YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO TALK SMACK AND MAKE EVERY THAT MUCH MORE EXCITING FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. MAY ALL OF YOU PLAY A TOUGH, HARD NOSE FOOTBALL GAME NEXT WEEK, AND WE PRAY THAT EVERYONE IS SAFE, AND NO ONE HAS ANY SERIOUS INJURIES. AND THE BEST OF LUCK TO THOSE PLAYING INFRONT OF D-1 RECRUITS. GOOD JOB.
ps. i was rooting for wc last night, so i hope diamond ranch wins it just so the bulldogs can say they lost to the champions. but all in all, i think charter oak wins it. if its a blow out, charter oak will win. but if its close, i think DRanch may pull it off. good job panthers, you looked very impressive tonight, too bad i didn't get a chance to see charter oak this season, but im sure you guys are legit. you're the only undefeated team in the valley.
thanks for a fun and exciting season to all teams, all leagues, and lets hope the mead takes care of business so the SGV can have two cif champs.
Sorry No .....FINISH... In football just home runs lmao ohh man
I for one am impressed shocked at the game I felt freds chin on my head
Ohh sorry charter didn't look scared shitless nore did they leave the game out of bordum
They left to go practice cause they know they are in deep trouble
But then again they are the best so why worrie all they have to do is walk on the feild and the trophy is just going to be handed to them... Haha
Notes in general
True, that Northview announcer is very irritating, but was he calling the game night? Yikes !!
Also, it seems that Los Osos took it in the chin last night so I think the guy calling himself “Amat Who” won’t be herd from for a while. Oh well.
I for one was very disappointed that West Covina lost. I was really rooting for them after Amat bit the dust this year.
I once spent a year in Minneapolis and St Paul, and while the folks out there are wonderful people, you just can’t compare all the cheese heads to the southern California lifestyle. I mean, that’s why the Lakers came to LA right ? Ha ha just kidding.
BTW, I usually root for the locals most of the time, but one of my “many” Alma Maters was COC, so I don’t feel too bad that they won last night. Go Cougars !
UCLA started off good yesterday, and I was a bit surprised at the final score not being a blow out. Can anyone say Bruin Pride ? Naaaa…
Having said that, is Pete Carroll really happy to see his offensive coordinator over at Washington? And, is it ethical for him to continue to coach the Trojans once he has been named the head coach at another school? I wonder how much genuine effort he is giving to the program after this announcement.
How about Manny Pacquiao guy ? Wow, got to give the guy Proffs, because amongst all my Filipino friends, they call him the Mexican Assassin. He just seems to have their number (and that is coming from a Mexican American who has allot of respect for a quality boxer). He is really good.
Well, the winter sports programs are in full swing right about now in high school. It’s funny to see so many football players on the various teams out there.
I guess that it just goes to show you that allot of players play multiple sports players and there doesn’t seem to be too many objections from the baseball or football coaches at Amat. In fact, the last few games I went to I saw Coach Hag's leaning over the rail watching the B-ball games late into the evening. He must be missing drawing out those x’s and o’s right about now.
Wow Diamond Ranch Came out with a mission. They played a perfect game. Those Kids are Legit. They took advantage of our Week Corners. and showed us Bulldogs what we need to do to get to the next level. That D is something special Great game plan Runnibg a Split 6-2 so the that #54 (stud) could roam free, Great scheme for a Linebacker with his talent, My son said it right we could not get to him and block him because of the 6 man front. also having # 4 back at saftey and the speed of the D was awesome. WC You dont need to hang your heads, You had a great season We are proud of you guys. We will be back next year you can count on that, We will be a team to watch out for. The heart and sole of the team are all coming back. (7 starters on both Offense and Defense coming back}
I pick DR to beat CO in the finals. Yes I said it DR over CO. I also Pick Rosemead to with their 2nd title in school history ,
And please... all you peeps who are on this blog with your teams on the sideline not playing in the semis. SHHHHHH!
This means you Husky Pride, you can say this and you can say that !! but remember we beat your ass. and the way it looks now. Your team is not looking to good for next year.
ONE word to DR come out with the same intensity and you will Beat CO
Good luck .
GO BullDogs
Go Rosemead
The same types of comments were being said about Bishop Amat, how they didn't play up to their regular style of play. They were flat? Just goes to prove now that it wasn't them not playing at their best, it was DR making them look like they were not playing their best. The DR Defense is that good. It should be recognized that way and should be feared. CO didn't do as well against DR as they had with all the other teams they went against (except 1 game vs RC). This upcoming CO/DR II game may look like a rerun of the DR/Muir II game. Great Game DR - Bring it on to CO.
Apathetic,
WC came out flat?? Are you kidding me?!?! So now your going 2 make an excuse as to why the game was boring? Give me a break!!
DR's defense was just that dominating look at the stats they speak volumes!! There's a reason why the offense looked flat and thats because DR smacked them in the mouth from the very 1st series 3 & out! It wasn't coming out flat it was a defense purely having there way with an offense..
Plus everyone knows that WC is 1 demensional and can't pass, the matchup was DR run defense vs WC run offense and DR clearly won that battle..
I'll admit the game did lack electricity but it was only because DR did as it pleased with WC..
Great job out there Coach Layton & good luck next week!! & also to WC great job this season..
Well unfortunately some of us do have to go to work on Sundays but anyways I was surprised at the score but not the outcome. More importantly, can we please not poorly represent our schools and degrade each other this week and instead be respectful towards one another. You come from the same league and the admiration seems to exist between both programs so fans follow your team's leads and do this right between now and kickoff. I for one am excited for the game and think the challenge ahead for both teams will make for an outstanding football game. The early line is Diamond Ranch +10 after both teams games last week. Defense wins championships and offense sells tickets and honestly Diamond Ranch has done both in the playoffs. Good luck and congrats to us for a S.G.V. Final!
wow do u believe i miracles how about d ranch over co?????
the guy that say s no passion tonight must not have been at the dranch game. they whupped wcovina.
kyle lengyel manhandled the whole backfield for w covina. unreal did w cov lose a bunch of players to grades????
I cant believe i missed the fight to see a boring wc dr game. There was no energy at all. I was sitting on the dr side and it was still boring. The highlight of game was sitting behind co in the stands. They looked confident and ready for next... In the third it was obvious who the winner was gonna be so they left.
drannch isnt this bit getting old???
u come on here and talk ish about co then we smack u and then u dissapear till our next game
ohhhh let me guess this time is gonna be different right?? hahahahah
06 07 twice in 08 my my my this ring on my finger looks great
A__pathetic,
Your post was just that!
You CO Folks kill me!!! Sure we will be looking forward to another great competition between 2 good teams. Last I checked, you guys didnt look to sweet against ROWLAND last night, have you seen the highlights?? IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN, this is not the same team that held you to 16-7 with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter on 10/17. Laugh Now. Keep feeding us, we need that fuel. We love the free food. I and WE will take the high road and except your challenge at CO. Im wondering if you guys are willing to hand over....well let me not get ahead of myself. CO good luck next week. We will see if I see any post from CO people this time next week!!
I was at this game for 3 and a half quarters. It was one of the most boring games I've attended all season. The fans weren't into it on either side. The players didn't even look like they were into it. I attended the CO-Rowland game the night before, and after the electricity and excitement of that game, this one was just awful. I understand it was a blowout, but the sheer lack of enthusiasm from both sides is surprising.
Diamond Ranch, looked good at first glance, but when you consider how flat West Covina came out, it isn't surprising that the score was so lopsided. After DR's first touchdown, the Bulldogs had their tails between their legs.
Also, if DR thinks they can run the same offense next week as they did tonight, they've got another thing coming. Running off tackle all game may work against an over-matched defense, but CO will shut it down hard.
Well..well...I applaud both teams tonight. Because Fred now knows who I am, I have to watch my choice of words per say!!
**Sittin' back like a proud father**
I will say this, I think WE want it more, and well, were going to take it!!
Good Night Community!!
Within the last 6 months Diamond Ranch has demonstrated the value of getting hot at the right time. First, in June, the baseball team, despite finishing behind Bonita and Charter Oak in the Miramonte League, advanced to the final, losing to Northview. Now, the football team finishes behind Charter Oak and Bonita again, but once more reaches the finals.
Sure it's nice to be league champs; the extra patch for your jacket and that extra number on the banner hanging in the gym. But DRanch is showing that regular season records are no match for a team that was playing their best at the end of the season.
I'm not a DR fan, but I respect what they've done. Uh oh, the basketball team is rated #1. They should aim for #3 again.
Why the hell was the Miramonte moved down to D-7, again?
Well, here comes another 6 year reign of D-7.
p.s. SCREW you C.I.F.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow two Miramonte teams in the Finals it just shows that the Miramonte League is and was tougher than the San Antonio League Miramonte League # 1 great game Diamond Ranch c u friday in the FINALS hey Fred do we know where the championship game will be at Citrus or MT.Sac. CO go fight win # 1 go beat DR again Chris Allen and Adam Muema this is your year go win and get those rings u have always wanted because in the end they r worth fighting for good luck CO # 1 and # 1 in SGV and heres to Coach Farrar he should be Coach of the Year he deserves it and great job Mr. Farrar on the award at the Covina Christmas Parade C u all next week in the Championship game Happy Holidays
The DR/WC game was almost like watching a rerun of the DR game against Nogales. It wasn't Nogales players in WC uniforms was it?
DARK P
BIG F'IN IF.......
YOUR S@IT WILL BE HANDED TO YOU AGAIN.
DR WHO? CAN'T WAIT TO B$ITCH SLAP YOU PUNKS AROUND.
I applaud DRanch. I was unable to attend the game but it looks as if all I missed was a big butt whooping. Like I said last week, Congratz to DR they have EARNED their achievements! GO DRanch!
Yes so Rumor has it if Diamond Ranch Beats Charter Oak next week Charter Oak will give Diamond Ranch The League Title ..
But they won't take it cause CIF Has a Better Ring To It
WE ARE??
haha CO left the game scared?
nope, that information is incorrect. CO left the stadium impressed by DR preformance and WC efforts and to be honest, we left bored...
i now ask myself....
how many times must we beat a team to shut them up???
1st...usaully does it
2nd...frosting on the cake
one word for you all.
*****FINISH*****
=)
I don't think I've EVER seen a team just "flip the switch" in high school football. Great job DR!!! Good luck against CO!!!
I wonder how people feel about DR's schedule now. If DR wins it all, Coach Layton is certainly the Coach of the Year.
lmao charter oak left the game scared $hit less
This by far was not the same team early on in the season my god total domination
Paybacks a Biatch
CO OWNS DR, NOW AND FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RHS vs Paraclete
Where will it be ?
Fight On

Dranch gets a first down, they'll run out the clock with 1:27 left, game over, see you all tomorrow, good night...
West covina comes up short on fourth down, first and 10 diamond ranch at their own 15, 2:20 left...they'll just run it now, clock is moving.
Okay, nothing happening, we've got 3:38 left. Total domination by Diamond Ranch, the best 7-6 football team in Southern California.
RICKY IS LEGIT? YEAH RIGHT. CANT HANDLE THE BIG THE BIG BOYS FROM MIRAMONTE..
CHOKE....

dont talk about west covina that way!
dont talk about west covina that way!
RICKY THIS RICKY THAT!
RICKY NADA.. OVERATED..
Oh my, Dranch fumbles right back, and the Bulldogs avoid the shutout as Thomas Flores picks it up and returns it 70 yard for a touchdown, ending the shutout, 39-7
West Covina fumbles on its own 27, going from bad to worse, people are filing out, DRanch first down..
That was a final, Paraclete 21-6 over Temple City
Spirlin another big 41 yard run to the one yardline, setting up a Spirlin touchdown, this is ugly folks, 39-0
We got a delay here, injured player, he finally gets up, applause, looks like he'll be fine...11:46 left
Paraclete leading Temple City, 21-6 end of three .. the winner facing Rosemead next Saturday.
I can't hear you freddy next play all the way in one play ..
End of third quarter, either Citrus or Mt. SAC, that's what I'm hearing.
Thanks Fred. So that was one of CO's closer games. Hope for a good one next week.
BTW,will the game be at Citrus?
Charter Oak won the first meeting 23-7 .. what I remember from that game was Diamond Ranch moving, then losing their center to injury and were never the same....It will be a great game next week. I can't believe we're talking about this with a quarter left. Nobody dominated West Covina like this.
Fred, what was the score of the first D. Ranch-CO game?
It's over like a Pacquiao knockout, Sermons just ran 69 yard for a touchdown, he got outside and was gone, unbelievable speed, 32-0, with 2:49 left in the third.
West Covina moves near midfield but gets stopped again...they're stuffing the dawgs up front better than Bishop Amat did. Charter Oak will not be facing the same team it did a month ago. They have a different mojo about they. They always had the big names on defense, but now they're putting it all together.
Wow, QB Viramontes hit JoJo Curiel for a 25 yard touchdown, wide, and I mean wide open down the left with 9:11 to go, it's 25-0 after the missed PAT...ouch.
It doesn't matter how many times they back ranch up, Viramontes hit Taylor for a 37 yard receptions, first down on the Bulldogs' 20.
Big Lou Pa Farrar is off to the left with a camcorder doing his own filming, this is great stuff, with a hand-held off all cameras.
Spirlin answered with another 35 yard run, face mask Panthers, pushing it all the way back to their own 36.
After Spirlin's 25 yard run, Brandon Sermons scored on a 52 yard run up the right side, but a holding penalty negates it, pushing it all the way back to the DRanch 40.
Alright football fans, the fight is over and the second half is about to begin. Pull up a chair, sit in front of your computer and just hit refresh, the second half is underway, DRanch is receiving.
Hey SGV ALUMN, I wonder how CO or DR could hold up against Minnesota State Champs Wayzata?
I smell a comeback Dawgs!
What lucky, okay, now its getting a little chilly, and we're a half away from Charter Oak-Diamond Ranch II .. Unless the Bulldogs can find a way to run, they're not coming back. They don't throw the ball well enough.
hey freddy boy
All the way in one Play come on Say it
It's over Manny beats De La Hoya, stopping him in the eighth
14-6 Paraclete leading Temple City, third quarter..
Pas blog says Paraclete leads 7-6
yeah SGV Alum, sitting next to the annoying northview announcer with his championship sweatshirt on..while you guys are freezing back east, we're sitting comfortably outside on top of the press box...ahh, southern california..halftime, 19-0 Diamond Ranch.
TC Score ???
I can also tell you that De La Hoya is losing every round and looking old through six rounds, at least that's what I'm hearing...
West Coving hoping to get points before the half are near midfield with 13 seconds left ... timeout.
St Paul is pretty similar to the SGV, with exception it is 10 degrees outside, but we have no smog!Oklahoma is drilling Mizz 61-21. Hope the Bulldawgs can turn it around soon or we may see the same type of score. Let big Cid run the ball!!
DRanch tried a 45 yard field goal with 32 seconds left, but it was short. Bulldogs get it back on their own 20, but it's almost half.
Fred, your doing a great job! Thanks!
The Bulldogs forced to punt again, giving DRanch good field position on the Dawgs' 33 with 1:42 left in the half
Really?? So that makes two from St Paul, Minnesota but Fred I heard you are sitting next to an annoying guy, would I know him?
This is not same DRanch team I saw against Muir and Charter Oak, they're absolutely shutting West Covina's run game down, haven't seen that all year.
Also checking in from St Paul Minnesota. Thanks for the Live Blog updates, but indeed Fred you are a bad luck charm for the Dawgs. Go home for the second half! Thanks for the coverage!
Hey Fred! Is Diamond Ranch that good or is West Covina not that good?
Sean Marley showed his power again, hitting a 42-yard field goal for a 19-0 lead with 2:08 left in the half. I can see the Charter Oak coaches to my left, kind of shocked like everyone else.
Hey Fred,
Checking in from Minnesota, I would like to say that I believe you are a bad luck charm! I mean come on give me a break here haha!
Bulldgos drive down to the 35, face a 4th and 11 and go for it, but their shovel pass is incomplete, D Ranch ball, Spirlin goes on another big run, 41 yards as I'm typing. Dranch first down at the Dawgs' 26.
After crossing midfield, Spirlin fumbles, Bulldogs get it back at their own 40, 7:35 left in half.
The Bulldogs continue to struggle offensively, and on a punt, snap it into the endzone for a safety, 16-0 DRanch, 8:22 left in half.
Sean Marley tried a 36 yard field goal for Diamond Ranch, but pushed it right, West Covina first down at their own 20, 9:56, second quarter.
End of the first quarter, Diamond Ranch 14, West Covina 0
The Bulldogs got a first down, but got backed up on a sack and had to punt again, another shank, giving the ball back to Diamon Ranch at the Dawgs' 44 with 14 seconds left in the quarter.
Charter Oak will be a tough match up for whoever comes out of this game. They are a fundamentally sound team, who turned it up a notch when they needed to last night.
As far as Muema...He was/is very good, not the best I've seen this year though. Gilmore and Barnes from Burroughs are better, in my opinion. He is an integral part of the CO machine, no doubt. He is on par with Stansell and Johnson in the SG Valley on the best team. No disrespect to Sumler, have not seen him play.
Speaking to my son after the game, he said Muema was very tough and a very good RB...but Gilmore and Barnes were better. Said Gluck for La Serna was good too, and Johnson didn't show them much in the game against them.
After Spirlin's 31 yard run, QB Viramontes threw a perfect strike to Brandon Taylor for 32 yard touchdown with 2:36 left, 14-0 Diamond Ranch
For the third straight series, bulldogs can't get a first down and punt the back to diamond ranch, who will have a first down at their own 23 with 3:47 left in the opening quarter.
On a fourth and four, QB Viramontes found Brandon Taylor all alone for a 38 yard touchdown, but it was dropped, turning the ball back to the Bulldogs. That's 7-point mistake.
West covina shanked the punt, DRanch has a first down at the Dawgs' 43 yardline
West Covina goes three and out again, the Panthers' defense is getting a great push.
Brian Spirlin got around the end and broke free 73 yards down the left side for a touchdown -- untouched, 7-0 Diamond Ranch, 9:14 first quarter.
Bulldogs go three in and out on first possession, Diamond Ranch with the ball on own 32. 10:20, first quarter
Dranch is kicking off, we're underway...
The national anthem is done, West Covina captains ready to walk out, Dranch still hiding in the lockerroom four minutes before kickoff
Charter Oak is takin the championship this year if they killed west covina 2 times last year and and diamond ranch is no match they have dept in every positon and both sides of the ball bringing in new Corners Recevers Linebackers
and no one so far has stoped my boi Adam if he gets past the linebackers he will score a touchdown
I hope someone is Tivo'ng the fight for me tonight, it's the least you can do for these live updates!!! I just arrived and found a spot at the top of the press box, the signal is good and I'm ready to go. Lots of people milling around, kinda quiet but you can see the cars lining up to park. I'll check back with you at game time, around 7:30
HEY winers , cry babies and jealous fans , parents, players voyers. The games over best team on top, raiders best compition yet, be proud you lost to the best. Next year plan a reunion with the Charger legacy. West Covina hope you make it to the big one. DR, saw you this year , good but WC needs a shot after last year.
Good luck to both.
Please coaches and parents no sad songs and dumb after game comments. After all its just a game,
its not recruiting its just great advertisement!
look at the product CO is puttin out there right now compared to everyone else
watch the interviews after the game youll see what i mean
How much did Josiah play in that game? He has not played in the varsity level. He would not be welcomed at Amat since Amat is all about competing. He lives in Monrovia and plays in Charter Oak? Recruiting??? Charter Oak good luck with him and specially his DAD
7000orSo Where would Josiah play at Amat? Not QB hes not good enough. Thats why he left ....YOU CANT BE AFRAID TO COMPETE....
once again the chargers are back in the championship. what else is new? and too coach snyder and everyone that says we recruit don't be mad because athletes want to come to our school and play for a good program, but besides that Chris Allen, Tyler Perri, Evan Williams, Kylie Rycraw, etc etc, are all Charter Oak Hometown Boys. So anyone can write what they want in frustration about charter oak but don't forget your sitting on your ass typing on the computer while we are out playing for a Cif Champhionship. (Again)
Your absolutely right Josiah would hate to return to Bishop Amat. He has fallen in love with Charter Oak and just ask him he'll tell you the difference between a professional and personal relationship. The Lancers were his friends and the Chargers are his family! There is no comparison in the difference in how he's being treated by people who actually care about not just the athlete but more importantly the child. Go ahead approach him and his family and they'll tell you themselves. Happy Holidays!
i think josiah would rather win in front of 2000 fans rather then lose in front of 7000 thank uuuuuu
What was this last post supposed to be pointing out?
ATTENTION PLEASE!
"It's a big stadium, the Rowland side is pretty packed, but a little disappointed on Charter Oak side, it's half full but people are still trickling in." Posted by: Fred | December 5, 2008 7:36 PM
"21 Nov 2008 ... After spotting Amat a 10-0 halftime lead, Poly roared back for a 21-17 win that was as exciting as it was nerve-wracking for the 7000 or so fans in attendance..." -Article from Long Beach Press Telegram.
7000+ fans in attendance!
Josiah Thropay, Bishop Amat would welcome you back with open arms...
Diamond Ranch Good Luck POP A big one
All the way in one play
We Are??
