Area Releaguing set for 2010: Glendora gets the boot east, SHills, Charter Oak in tough, and why is Diamond Ranch still hanging out in the SGV?

| | Comments (166) |

This is the new league alignment as passed by Mt. SAC Area Principals on Tuesday.
Baseline League - Alta Loma, Etiwanda, Glendora, Los Osos, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland
Sierra League - Ayala, Charter Oak, Chino Hills, Claremont, Damien/St. Lucy's, South Hills
Miramonte/San Antonio League - Bonita, Diamond Bar, Diamond Ranch, Los Altos, Rowland, Walnut, West Covina
Mt. Baldy League - Chaffey, Chino, Colony, Don Lugo, Garey, Montclair, Ontario
Valle Vista League - Baldwin Park, Covina, Nogales, Northview, Pomona, San Dimas, Wilson
Montview League - Azusa, Bassett, Duarte, Ganesha, Gladstone, La Puente, Sierra Vista, Workman

Big Winners: Diamond Ranch, Wilson, Damien, Nogales
Big Losers: Glendora, South Hills, Charter Oak

Fred's thoughts: Here we are worried about operating costs, travel, and teachers getting pink slips, and this committee goes ahead and approves a proposal that makes little geographical sense. Again, rationale decisions take a back-seat to personal agendas, and who pays, the schools. Glendora moves out of the Sierra League and will have it tough for years to come in the Baseline. Competive-wise, they will be okay, but lots of travel. Kind of sad when your closest league opponent is Upland, with Bonita, Damien, and Charter Oak around the corner. But that would make sense. For what it's worth, I like the Sierra League. I would have flip-flopped Chino Hills and Glendora (geographical/competitive reasons), but I like South Hills, Charter Oak and Damien all in the same league. How Damien got this lucky, I don't know. Why isn't Diamond Ranch among these teams if you're going to leave them in the SGV? Shouldn't they be in the toughest SGV group if they stay? Chino Hills will make the Sierra extremely tough across the board, and so will Ayala. The Miramonte/San Antonio league is the best the SGV has to offer with upper-tier sports schools not named Charter Oak, South Hills and Glendora. My question, why they heck is Diamond Ranch in there. Again, this is the price South Hills and Charter Oak pay for being good. It make complete geographical sense for one of them to be in this league, and no sense whatsoever for Diamond Ranch to be in it. But here's the kicker, Diamond Ranch and Diamond Bar in the same league. It's on now fellas. The Valle Vista adds Wilson and Noglaes, which is huge relief for the Cats and Nobles and will raise their athletic profile now that they will be able to win again. Other than that, what do you think?

I'm writing local reaction for tomorrow, and thought I would share some of it ...
South Hills football coach Steve Bogan welcomes the challenge of competing in the Sierra League, but wonders why principals would vote for a proposal that will further strain the school's operating costs. With West Covina a few blocks down the road and Walnut around the corner, South Hills is now being asked to travel to Claremont, Ayala and Chino Hills. "This (Sierra) looks like a heck of a football league, and it's a great challenge for us to try and compete," Bogan said. "But as a school, when I look at our size and the transportation costs, especially when it comes to the lower-level sports, it doesn't make much sense. This is going to be a huge travel cost. The Covina school district is closing two (elementary) schools and laying-off teachers, where are we going to get the (gas) money for these additional costs, not to mention the extra-time the kids have to spend traveling. There is no free lunch, the money has to come from somewhere."


I don't know if South Hills coach Steve Bogan will have this much vacation time in the new league. South Hills, Charter Oak and Damien? Which school reigns supreme?

Reaction from the Bulletin's Pete Marshall, who was there: Someone was going to be unhappy, and it turns out it is Glendora and South Hills. I firmly believe that Damien/St. Lucy's was a better fit competitive-equity wise for the Baseline League, but the Chaffey district schools blocked that possibility. Glendora wanted relief from the Sierra League, only to be placed in a tougher league. Glendora will likely appeal on competitive equity grounds, as Glendora officials repeatedly said as the school's name kept being mentioned in the Baseline League. South Hills' issue is more with geography, and transportation costs that would rise. But, competitive equity has been determined to be the No. 1 criteria. South Hills should be able to compete in the Sierra League, which it is under the new plan. Just like there are a lot of schools that don't want to be in the same league as Damien/St. Lucy's, there are also a lot to the west that don't want to be in the same league as South Hills. Last time that happened, it was 8 years ago, and South Hills' fellow Covina Valley schools Covina and Northview wanted to be separated from South Hills, after the trio had been together in the Valle Vista League.

The art of rhodium plating can be a very difficult without doubts, just because of the price, a person has to be very skilled in getting a good amount of rhodium for a nice price.

Last releaguing cycle it was proposed that Damien move from the Mt San Antonio area into the Parochial area. This then would have left them to be placed in the Serra or Mission Leagues. A parent of a water polo parent, who I believe was an attorney either did or threatened to file suit... thus Damien stayed put. I wish I knew the exact details because I hat partial stories. Maybe My Friend can do some investigative reporting.

At the same time they were rearranging the private school leagues because of the OC Nepotism Act and Amat and Loyola lobbied to remain Division One... both having played at the highest level of competition for years. At that time is when Notre Dame and Crespi had to be moved up... although they (and others) refused to do so initially.

If Damien was in the mix it would probably would have been Amat, Loyola, St Paul, Damien, and St Francis. Not bad geographically, but whether the the Spartans, the Golden Knights and the Slime could compete in the Pac5 would have been in question.

On another note, people know I'm a quote guy and they send me quotes. After reading the exchanges the past couple days, i thought it was an amazing coincidence that these two came across my screen today. The first is a good rule of thumb, I should remember more often:

"Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience."

The second, that I didn't know was attributed to Abraham Lincoln, is one I've used here before after reading some outrageous posts

"Better to not speak (or post) and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth (or post) and remove all doubt."

It's obvious too many visitors don't follow that one.

Amat 73...Gano's been there almost four months. The question you might want to ask is why the SGV on a whole stays locked up in their own back yard year after year.

I know for a fact Salesian used o play Salesian because Damien's record for most foul shots attempted came against the Mustangs....my guess is the game was at Damien.

My question is why Damein parents and the Almighty Booster who hang on the Larson lead teams don't muster up enough pull to at least play someone with as rich as tradition as Damien.

You know now that I think about it Mater Dei has three stripes on their helmet as well. Loser loses their stripes...opps that's the WWE !!

My bad...BAUTISTA !!!!!!!

Why not just get Damien to join the Serra. That is actually where they belong and then you could have annual battles with AMAT,ND,Crespi and fill the rest of the schedule with the likes of O Lu,MD and 1 or 2 top local teams .Do you really think Gano would go for a challenge like that.

frank C said:

DAMIEN VS BISHOP AMAT
DAMIEN VS MATER DEI
DAMEIN VS. NOTRE DAME
DAMIEN VS. ST. FRANCIS
DAMIEN VS. CRESPI
DAMIEN VS. ST. PAUL
DAMIEN VS. SJB
DAMIEN VS VERBUM DEI
DAMIEN VS. SERRA

WOW THAT WOULD BE NICE...WHY NOT SALESIAN HAS!

AND ISN'T THAT SAYING SOMETHING!!!

AMAT 73 Author Profile Page said:

Frank C.
Yes he does but only with wrong team.Well at least he can't dodge AMAT next year like he has done in past years at LA . Now maybe this game can turn into something like AMAT vs st paul. This could be an annual event for the SGV and who knows by the time my grandson is playing for the LANCERS we will have to rent MSAC to hold the crowds .Since we vertually ( here we go ) recruit from the same feeder schools it could go along way as to which school the potential recruits choose. HA HA HA HA

Frank C said:

Than what would you contribute?

I mean how many times can you say...

1) I'm a loser
2) I've never done much
3) My life is NOT filled with accomplishments
4) I never actually played, coached or known the pain and glory of competition?
5) I wish I were anyone but who I am

seriously my friend...no matter how you cut it...you don't.

Tell your Dad you made a lsoer with what God gave him and he can expect loser grandkids as well.

OUCH!

Joey I told this story once but seems appropriate again.

When I coached at St. Louis of France we were the "dogs" of that league. We had gone through 3 Principals in four years and the school was made up parents that thought ..."well maybe Sports wasn't our thing."

The HC of Boys A team asked me to help out and it was my son's senior year and I said sure. This first thing i told him is "We're going to win a League Championship". He looked and me and said..."well...Frank...we;ll certainly try?"...I told him I wanted to address the team. He said"sure".

Funny thing Joey but the first day of practice is the most important in my mind, that's the way I was taught.

I told them this:(It's always the same)

"We're going to win a League Championship (should have seen their eyes roll and some look down and shake heir heads) make no mistake about that! I don't care what anyone tells you..they are not here! YOU ARE!!! At this school we play 8 to 10 games and them lick our wounds and pack it in and everybody says great job!...that's the past. We're going to play 22 games.at least 14 before League starts...when we hit league we're going to kick the tar out of every team that ever laughed at us! Some of you will quit along the way...maybe game 10 or game 16 when the wins pile up....not the team mind you but "on" your team, in little ways that only coaches see. Every player decides when he's had enough...this is the truth and I've seen it many times. That's okay...I just need 3 players that will never quit...just three!!! and leaders that will lead by example! I don't need promises or raised hands...you know who you are. The first day will be rough, the last day will be rougher but I can tell you this...you will always be the best conditioned team and hardest working team out there and if anyone beats us...they earned it. But I will figure them out and we'll beat them the second time! I'm going to tell you all something....."Someone's going to give up the panties and ...IT WON'T BE US!!" Kids were cheering and some were probably think..."pnaties??? who wears PANTIES???"

I finished and made them run a lap....the HC leans in and tells me ...."Sh*T Frank...I'm so fired up!!! Dude "I" want to play and hit some body!!!!!
LOL

Anyway word got out we were pertty good and undefeated in League and Holy Name of Mary was pretty good and both of us were undefeated, we were like 17-0 and they were whatever...so we played. They were big, fast , talented and well coached by a seasoned veteran guy. During the game we suffered a questionable call down the stretch and they took the lead with a lttle less than 3 minutes to go. My team seemed confused and discouraged and I called a TO to talk to the team.

As we walked out to meet the players I told the HC..."I got this one" I looked them in the face and said. "Don;t you dare look at the sidelines for a play! Don;t you give up now! They can cheat all they want. WE HAVE THE BALL! Run to the Right on every play..don't even get in a huddle! Run the ball on every play to the RIGHT!! until you get in the endzone! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!!!!!"....SOMEONE IS GIVING UP THE PANTIES AND IT AIN;T GOING TO BE US!!!

Total silence. They ran that ball 5.6.7.8 times I lost count but we did get in the endzone and did win our matchup of undefeated teams....running the ball right down their throats! Pretty special!

Best feeling in the world seeing those kids jumping up and down and seeing the Holy Namers stunned..and their "stacked' team beaten fair and square!

Only one player from that SLF team went on to play football in high school. Michael Mancilla, a 8th grade transfer who made every possible. What a great kid from an outstanding family. He became a Lancer Football player..and that's pretty cool too.

Joey, i know what some will say...elementary school? But that's where kids learn how to compete, learn to listen, learn about failure, learn how to bond, learn that sometimes "you're just not good enougn". Telling a kid that Goliath will fall today is an awesome experience, telling them "how" is a rush but nothing beats seeing a team come together and stand a Goliath down AND WALK AWAY VICTORIOUS!!! Bishop Amat is the only team in the San Gabriel Valley that does that on a weekly basis....even though sometimes they are Goliath! LOL

My point to Damien last year was ...they were going to be David IN EVERY GAME !!!! and never quite understood that...and that's why COACHING MATTERS!!!! next year should be crazy!!! Gano hosts you guys right??? Amat 73...finally!!!!!LOL

You know, My Friend, I didn't think I "slapped you around" too bad when you were supporting the Spartans (when not manner where-if I can remind others) ... it was just a simple reality check. but if you remember, I also said that the positive spin better be what the coaches are selling in the locker room. Makes me think of the Lancer/Crespi Video that's been posted here of Hagerty's speech when we were down at halftime. He *sold* the kids the positive message that a comeback was possible, told them how they were going to do it... then they went out and made it happen.

You gotta believe, even when it doesn't make sense to do so.

Coaching matters!

FRANK C...opps Stalker Fan...or is Stalker Target...I forget..with so many names??? said:

by the way it's been YOUR contention...I always give my name

Long Live Sparta...wasn't that the name I used to SUPPORT the team in during the football season so stalkers wouldn't kill the messenger!

Truth is I thought they'd win 2 games before the season started but thought...what the heck....it's their last year so might as well be a cheerleader...that is until Joey exposed me as a fraud....lol and slapped me around a bit and made me tell the truth...that's Joey it was painful to write trust me!!!! LOL

Let's say...to borrow a phrase from my good friend...Morrison and the Class of 09 had "a chance" to be good and actually win league and make the playoffs and redeem themselves and show me up and keep Morriosn's job and prove what a know it all i'm NOT and so forth and so on...

Joey...tell me ...did I just get in trouble again?
LMAO

i did say I was going to have fun and not get all twisted!!!!

FRANK C said:

you forgot....My Pal Joey and Fred Fan and many others....now I see why you hate me.....okay I give up you got me


here's you own special name....Stalker Fan

you came up with that...sorry...that has the same substance and cotton candy!

but it's a start I guess!

Long Live Sparta, Mean Machine said:

I always use my real name

FRANK C said:

MY GOD II...when was I wrong?

1) about who specifically was I wrong?
2) when did I say it and in what context?
3) why do "you" disagree and what "substance" do "you" have to support your claim...relative to that "specific" error?

remember the idea here is to be exact and to have substance ...not to rehash, bash, or name call.

and please don't say something like..." His name is not spelled..BRIAN..it's spelled BRYAN....that's just weak.

I'll try and listen carefully.

FRANK C said:

I've had over 143 "new" names come after me...and i stopped counting!!!!

Is there really 143 "new" bloggers that I've offended? On this thread alone..."how many have there been?"

you said your peace....look at that idiot Frank Jr....how long did he dance on my string last night...like 30 posts??

It was that omportant to him....it was an exercise in illustrating the level of stupidity some one would go to...as long as I engaged them....am now you're doing the sammmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeee tttttttthhhhhhhhiiiiinnnnggggggg...

welcome to the club my friend...take a number.


STILL..I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS GENERATION AND THEIR DISIRE TO PUT TATTOOS ON THER FACE????

WOW!...POP'S WAS ON TO SOMETHING! LOL

FRANK C said:

I'm going to give you a lesson in adult life. Not this stupid back and forth nonsense...maybe it will help you grow up.


I offended Damien bloggers with my comments, things got ugly and the final salvo was the vandalizing of my car. Your point, I think is "I deserve it!"

Can't help you. You're beyond talking to if you don't see the absudity in that comment. I wish you a great life.

This is old, tired and redundant. wrong is wrong and right is right...and that was plain wrong!...and crinimal in any court!

You okay with that?

My Dad used to stop the car when he seen taggers writing on walls in our neighborhood. Trust me my Dad didn't play! He yell at them..."You so proud of who you are...WHAT IT ON YOUR GD FORE HEAD!!!"

And guess what Pops????? they took you up on it!!!!

Kids nowadays...got it all wrong !

The person who did that was a coward...and not a noble Damien Spartan...in fact ...ask anyone...better yet ...call you mom or dad and ask them if what they would have done to you if you'd been caught doing the same thing!

Hey I don't have to live knowing I did that! That's on them! I took the paint off...how they going to take that shame off themselves?

Ignore my posts. In every gathering there are different people with different views....accept it and move on.....you ain't helping anybody or doing anyone a great service.

Have a nice life.

Frank,
First off the only reason you use Frank C is because of your writting style ( me,I,me,I am above everyone and they are all wrong)does not allow you to hide behind a fake name . Your ego just won't let you so don't call out bloggers for using various posting names. I bet you wish you could. Now you come on here with how everyone measures themselves by the reaction they get out of you. There you go again ( me ,I,me,I) . Why don't you just read and see where people are just tired of your bs. Your favorite thing is come say it to my face. What for, you would just come back with the same replies you give on here or start a fight. It seems all the beatings you took in your earlier years ( your words not mine ) just didn't do anything for you as far learning a lesson. Maybe that's why there were so many. Frank examine yourself and invoke a 3 day moritorium on blogging to clear your head and think why do all these bloggers have the same opinion of me. COULD IT BY CHANCE BE ME AND NOT THEM.

Speaking of quitting.... anybody see the New Orleans Hornets/Denver Nuggets game last night? Denver 121 NO 63

There has been some discussion on this post about "quitting" taht I'm not here to make judgement on... BUT... If there was ever a question about "do teams/players quit?"... There was the example!

What an embarrassment for professional athletes to give such a lackluster effort. After the 1st period.. they QUIT. Period. Exclamation point!

FRANK C said:

THAT'S IT????


YOU QUIT?

maybe that's why you guys think I have a big ego...it take ...ummmm...four years and how many stalkers to NOT COME CLEAN???

You'd think my name was Wiiliam Wallace and it sh*T thunderbolts!

This is funny...in a weird..."why can't I muster enough courage to say it to his face kind of way.

You Tube "Arab kid slugs RANDY ORTON!!!"...it;s hilarious!!! he's coming into teh arena and this "kid" gets all into teh booing and hissing and as Orton is playing the part (yes I know it's all staged)...this kid loses his mind and slugs Orton on the shoulder.....RANDY ORTON..TAKES TWO STEPS...REALIZES WHAT HAPPENED AND....LOOKS POVER HIS SHOULDER AND PAUSES AS HE PONDERS HIS NEXT MOVE...THE KID IS STILL TAUNTING!!!! Even , in character, you can see Orton giggle when he realizes...he's really IS THE MAN !

KING STUD...are you of arab decent? How about the rest of you guys....now I see why you measure yourselves by how much of a reaction you get out of me.

Frank,Frank,Frank
You know you do everything to fullfill that ego you have that is the size of Alaska. If it wasn't because of your ego why would you come on here with bragging of the offers of help to people or your wasn't I right about all the trashing I did at Damien of the program with an air of glee in your writting. Now why don't you and whoever you perceive this randy person to be keep your dirty laundry to yourselves instead of you ,as is your style to list the many people who you have helped or some how you've been the greatest influence in their life or the many stories of adventures of your earlier years when you coached your teams to glory and taught them all very valuable life lessons. Never has anyone come on this blog or any of the many players you often speak of to back you up in regards to Frank speaks the truth he did do a great thing by helping me. You would think someone after seeing you get blasted on here would come to your defense. No all we get is ,well you have seen the replies of something to the effect you are just an egotistical blow hard who speaks out of his _ _ _ . You say you spent the better part of Sunday praying for strength not to beat the taste out of someone. You should have prayed for yourself and asked for strenght to keep yourself in check and to think twice before you open your mouth or type replies.

randy said:

Frank, i have NEVER posted as King Stud....i told you how to get ahold of me, stop posting here and write to Fred....

randy/King St*d/Whale Hunter said:

randy/king st*t/Queen chicken sh*t,

you do realize you blogged within 9 minutes of each other and basically outed yourself. you wrote in the same style, used the same punctuation and use the "asterisk" in the exact same manner. over time, like Superman and Clark Kent, you guys have a funny way of showing up within minutes of each other on the same threads and like Clark Kent the only thing that separates you is a pair of glasses.

Years ago a Damien Dad went to practice and repeated the same story over and over and over again. I sat looking at practice and laughed politely every time he told the story as parents came to sit. I remember his words exactly..."poetic justice"...he thought it was funny as heck. Over and over he told the story regarding Mendruns Miracle TD.. When a firestrom hit he swore up and down he didn't say it....he knew different but what was the point? Everyone who heard him tell the story knew he was a liar.

randy you asked me to let it go and continued to do what you do. like i said to that Damien Dad when we made our peace..."sure...not a prblem!" hey WE BOTH KNOW HE LIED. Funny but everything I said about that JV team came true...to the tee. I re-read the "player evaluation and position suggestion" comment I made and without question EVERY SINGLE THING I SAID CAME TRUE, EVERY PLAYER PANNED OUT LIKE I SAID, EVERY PLAYER CHANGED POSITION LIKE I SAID AND THOSE THAT DIDN'T FELL FLAT ON THEIR FACE...LIKE I SAID...the lack of coaching caught up with this class...in spite of their potential to be very good...they weren't.

Now randy..I told you if anything I said about our "meeting" didn't ring true? Did I offer to "help" your son, did you "ask" for help and did I tell "you" it was because you were part of the "SALESIAN FAMILY"? Didn't I say it would be Sergio and my brother Jaime, AND NOT ME, that would be there if you'd like for free. THEY would have done this as a favor to me as they had with Justin Luiten who NEVER PAID A DIME FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS OF TRAINING AND INSTRUCTION AFTER SITTING THE BENCH HIS JR YEAR INSPITE OF BEING 6'4" 295 lbs!!! HE HAD A VERY GOOD SENIOR YEAR AND HIS DAD GOT TO SEE HIS SON FINALLY GET ON THE FIELD. He played ay Citrus Collge these past couple of years and did. hey he's still huge, fast and coachable. I like the kid...reminds me of my son Zach...al they needed was a chance. Ask JL what an idiot, coward or disgrace I am. Ask his dad MR LUITEN or his GRANDMA what kind of disgrace I am to them...or how many times I called to say their son did well. Didn't cost him a dime.

Your son could have had the same opportunities but "you" chose another route. If you think I'm holier than thou or an arrogant whatever or a me complex or whatever randy you should have remembered my generousity and the open manner in which I offered my friends and family to help your son....and looked the other way. There were plenty of DDs or drive by artists that were "teaching me a lesson" for you to do the same.

randy i spent the better half of Sunday praying for the strenght to not knock the taste from your mouth. i can be a hot head and worse I'm sure you know but when I'm no longer mad and loud and VENTING that's when most people who really know me know something's wrong. you keep running your mouth at me despite everything I've just laid out and most people will say Frank was being himself..."YOU ASKED FOR HELP AND HE HELPED YOU OUT"...must be my ego that makes me help out people I don't know and ask nothing in return. Like I said randy, I had some one beat on me early in life and hate to see people getting screwed. simple as that. Everyone needs a little help some time....and that's what I offered. But don't mistake kindness for weakness.

Now I'll ask you again...did I not offer any assistance you or your son may have needed without anything in return AFTER YOU ASKED FOR HELP....and ISN'T THAT THE REASON WE EXCHANGED PHONE NUMBERS????

I'LL ASK AGIAN...DIDN'T I OFFER YOU AND YOUR SON ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MAY NEEDED AT NO CHARGE TO YOU OR YOUR SON....AND ISN'T THAT WHY I WE EXCHANGED PHONE NUMBERS????

SIMPLE QUESTION REALLY...that will tell you everything you need to know about me and everything everybody needs to know about you.

"BTW, randy, no one has outed me"...KIng Stud ???? did anyone ask that question?

Seems like an odd thing to say don't you think?

I mean in the midst of all this King Stud...why would you feel the need to make that declaration ...now? When NO ONE is asking or saying or even talking about 'OUTTING" you?

Seems odd to come in at this times doesn't it....I know in the 50's all Superman had to do was put on a pair of glasses and suddenly he was Clark Kent! And no one could see the resemblance.

we've come a long way since then...and that coach alcantar "outting" was bogus but ironically laced with anti Diamond Ranch venom.

Do the Diamond Ranch/Diamond Bar Pop warner coaches know a "RANDY"???? he loves to call you guys weasels so I suspect you guys know him well. I'll post his last name tomorrow when my old phone gets a new charger.

Frank C said:

you know randy you sat next to me at our kids football game and asked my advice with your kid. say what you want now but you know it's true....i told you nothing but positive things about your son and i told you call me if you ever wanted my brother... not me!... to would work with YOUR son and I'd call in a favor. my brother was the defensive coordinator at compton college at the time and is now at LB Poly so i think he's qualified...and you seemed like a happy camper. he does the centurions as well so helping out is what he does! done it many times when i've called him. i also told your son could work out with the same trainer that helped travis eschardise increase his foot speed. i told you it would be FREE because you were part of the "Salesian" family....well sort of. we talked about our kids and i left thinking you were a pretty cool dad. i also left knowing you didn't know much yourself or else why would you ask me so many questions about technique, systems, your team and your coaches? i never once told you anything except your son worked hard and at least he's on the field so there's that. plus your team did not lack size so maybe their senior year they'd be better. Isn't that true? and actually THAT team was the best in years THIS YEAR!!!! so I guess i was wrong again huh?

over the years you've taken the time to snipe at me and then denied it in spite of meeting me. YET when the time comes, as you have shown recently, you have a pretty well stocked laundry list of issues with me. so which is it?

I took some time to read your comments since your Whale Hunter days and you've called teams, coaches and players far worst than "quitters" and you know that's true. listing them all would only take time and more denials from you and be another waste of time.

you said move on and it's Sunday and still you run your mouth at me. i stood off line all day and you try and FWM some more. I found your number! I'll call you when I see you at a game just to see your reaction before I sit next to you....like old times.

you like public displays...tell everyone on the blog what part of what I just wrote isn't true!

King Stud said:

I can see Frank is making friends again! Btw Randy no one has outed me however a few have guessed at who I am. This makes for good reading. Keep it up boys!

Damien Faithful=Frank C said:

Nice try.

randy said:

Hey uh "Me Again", you spineless jellyfish,...this is too funny, in 3 years now, i have never had a true DB blogger (i think your a DR honk, or even Frank himself) tell me i am shaming them......your full of crap....I HAVE NEVER GONE AFTER SOMEONE ON THIS BLOG WHO DIDNT HAVE IT COMING TO THEM....Its just mindless banter, unless you get someones last name and address....which could get ugly i suppose....this blog has an evil hold on some of us....i wanna let it go, but then you go running your BS and here i am again.....ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Damien Faithful said:

doesn't any one know where frank lives? i'll bring the pitch forks and someone bring the rope! he must be stopped! it isn't murder if he's teh anti christ right?

Me again said:

Randy you are no different that Frank. You are not comparable to Joe Amat, Dan, etc. You slam everytime you get a chance. I want DBHS to return to its glory again but reality is reality. The one thing we can always hold onto was our class. You are the only one shaming us now. If you moved out of the city then move on. Read the BLOGs and you and everyone you call out argue everytime. Frank is not our problem and most ignore him but you keep him talking. Lets move on.

Defenders of the faith said:

For those of you new to the blog, Corona the clown has this me against the world complex. He needs to look again in the mirror and see the farce that he truly is. You must take the walk of shame Corona, you have betrayed the Damien faithful, and you must be cast out now, and forever. Be gone, and good riddance!

King of Beers said:

Don't be fooled. Frank Corona only posts with his real name because he was called out on the blog. He's not honest, noble, or brave enough to have chosen that path on his own.

Corona sucks.

randy said:

Some, not all of the DB bloggers know who am i, but this isnt a popularity contest, i dont care if EVERYONE knows exactly who i am.....at least you got a first name from me, YOUR COWARD a$$ posts as "No Guts"...boy that took balls....Did you want me to post my resume on here like Frank does?? I'm not quite that vain....Does Dan from WC post his last name? Who is Joe Amat? Who was Blue Orca? Did Mike the Clone ever post his last name?....How about JCaz? Or DRanchhhhhh????? No Guts, you must be fool to think its a good idea to post your last name on here.....your car might get doused with paint by some of the buttholes who lurk out here in cyberland, if they had something to go.....I thought i was done with this thread, but yet another scum bag brings me back in.....sheesh!!!!!!!!

No Guts too said:

Who is Randy? Everyone now knows Frank's real name but who is Randy? Not that I agree with all of Frank's comments I do respect the fact that he is one of few who everybody knows who is exactly speaking (with the exception of Fred). Most of us hide behind a name and post comments. I like what Don (if that is his real name) has to say. He is always informative and objective. No trash talk just comments. Randy you have crossed the line on more than one ocassion and unlike Frank many don't know who you are. Either put a last name to your name or stop making so many negative comments about individuals. And moreimportantly, by you giving a name the pride of Diamond Bar can say that is just Randy ... talking and not the rational parents of Diamond Bar HS. I am sure their are parents at Damien who cringe everytime Frank speaks. Many of us feel the same way when you post.

randy said:

This is ridiculous...both of us have to keep going to we think we have the last word....i'm done with this thread....your negative energy and endless bullsh*t are bad karma......its sunday frank, move on to something constructive, i will do the same...

randy said:

Franklin, i've played ball all my life,i get it...you are living in some fantasy land where you are the uncontested know-it-all and your smack has to be called out every now and then, and don't even think your gonna come on here and flop down some imaginary highlights from your past and impress anyone but yourself.....i've seen and heard from the best bullsh*tters, but you sir, are in my top 3 all time crocks of sh*t.....take your valium....lay off the espresso, and chill the f*ck out already yeah?......i'm not even gonna tell what my uncles truly think of you, i dont need to hear your crying all over again, and neither does this blog....

Merry X-mas said:

Frank Claus?

Too funny. Made my day.

Shut up Corona.

p.s. How's your buddy Canales? Is he still mad that you outed him?

Frank C said:

Randy. you sound like so many bloggers who write checks with their mouth that their bodies can't cash. You come on here...bag and trash schools, communities and coaches, call coaches "weasels, harrass Blue orca to teh point he finally "left, say outrageous things for the "fun" of it, talk about "old school" manners of settling things, encourage vandalism, act as if the "Asian Wave" is less than positive, thereby insulting hard working people as if that's okay, come on here and assume screen names to basically have your way with them, and trust me...that happens alot on this blog. You kow randy I've heard so much trash being talked about coaches that going to DR was a relief. I knew no one and basicall justed watched football without hearing all that stupid nonsense in the stands. you came on here and said.."I was on their leg because..blah blah Damien hates me!'

Rnady last night someone posted using my screen name "Frank C." and actually registered the name? Crazy huh? A few weeks ago there was a new "Dan" who later became "Dane" and talked about paint as well and pretended he was actually named "Dan" as well....where is he? Seems he was lost in "Fake screen name-ville".

Okay let's review. You're a loudmouth and I told you why. You pushed my buttons and encouraged what you did. You called my son a "quitter" last week and seem to have forgotten that you said so. Look it up Randy. Now you're offended because as I "team" I said your team...gave up", tired out or succumb to the pressure ...you know I didn't call any ONE PLAYER A QUITTER...read what I said. Nothing wrong with what I said. Fred has probably written in an article that a team either quit on the coach or on their season so nothing wrong there.

I've read where bloggers have said not only was I going to get beat up but actually told me who was going to do it, had bloggers say THEY were going to beat up my son, talked about my kids as quiters, and a whole host of names, and truth is they are none of those things...and most kids will never measure up to them as individuals. All those awards and accomplishments are pretty impressive by most standards. So why the hate?

When I gave Kenny that money, or when I gave the Withems a great X-mas or helped with whatever I do, to whoever I can, I guess that's forgotten. Ask DR what a pain I was. Ask Roddy how opinionated I was about his team. Ask anyone what a bother I was.

randy you talk like a saint but you are a loud mouth who thinks like a child. "everyone at DB backs my sh*t"...see randy I never need crowd approval or that sideways sense of comfort. Now someone comes on here and says they "talked to Gano about me"? what a total "hen". ...must be nice spreading rumors and acting like a gossip queen. So much for a fresh start.

Fred this is as it always is...first they get offended, then "they attack" and then they get scared and say..."he's a bad man". I think my actions and life outside the blog are pretty special and my family is pretty exceptional...every blogger who knows me and my family will admit that.

randy if saying that I think the "team" quit offends you too bad. that's my honest opinion. maybe even some players quitely would admit the same over the past 6 years but so what....like I said if anything happens along those "encourgaed" lines know you played a part.

"You must have rteally said something to fire those people up"...oh so if ypour son, the non quitter, di something similar you'd ASK WHAT DID HE SAY TO DESERVE IT????

Nice to know you raised your kids right!

Hey Gossip Queens and "you're a disgrace crowd" tell the blog how many kids left the school and why? Or how many players "blunted" out before games, or how long "backers' whispered in the stands about MONGER...what a crowd.

Hey randy..news flash...no team ever quit. Ever, ever ever ever..... feel beter.

By the way...you never played did you. Knowing your uncle Eddie and the Medinas I still can't figure out how you became such a sh8t talker...must be the Maravilla side of the family.

We played a sandlot game against those homeboys and Eddie's brother Sal stopped a fight just as teh guns were coming out...so like i said. Talk is cheap and so is your sh8t talking to me.

what does randy's actions have to do with yours, frank? you have used this blog to threaten others on many occations. describing what's wrong with randy doesn't explain away what's wrong with you.

fred, seriously what happens if someone acts out on these threats? you've got to stop this before it gets out of hand.

I AM SO DAMN SICK ABOUT HEARING ABOUT BOTH D.BAR & D.RANCH AND WHICH ONE OF THE TWO IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER!!!!!WHEN IT COMES TO FOOTBALL NEITHIER WILL BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH OUR COVINA SCHOOLS S.HILLS & CHARTER OAK ON THE FIELD IN 2010..OUR COVINA SCHOOLS WILL SHOW BOTH D.BAR SCHOOLS WHAT IT IS LIKE PLAYING WITH THE BIG BOYS, hey all you diamondbar players welcom to the big leagues baby....

randy said:

And Frank, there are no "breaks" for you or me on this blog, there is only wraths, and revenge....but i'm at least comfortable in knowing that the DB crowd is behind most of the shots i fire, cuz i aint making this sh*t up....

Frank, you love to talk smack, and you dont mind throwing out personal hits.....but you cant take the comebacks, i'm not talking about another drive by on your car, you idiot, i would never do that and think its pretty shi*tty for someone to do that, but you must of said some jacked up things about somebodys kid on that Damien squad to REALLY fire them up one night..........you will never get my goad to that point....this is only a silly blog filled with a bunch a women who hide behind these chicken sh*t screen names, like King/Queen Stud, who was apparently outed himself.....i'm glad i raised your blood pressure, that was the intent....its a gift we both have.....DONT EVER EXPECT ANYONE WHO HAS AN OUNCE TO PRIDE TO SIT IDLE AND READ YOUR TRASH AS YOU, QUITE POSSIBLY THE MOST IRRITATING PERSON ON THIS BLOG CALL THIER KID A QUITTER...comprende amigo???

Frank C said:

disappointed...let me make this clear. I know randy. for him to "insist" on taking about "vandalizing" my car is just plain stupid. what else is he talking about when he tells me to GFM and worst because I said a team quit? ever see the lakers quit? how about the pistons? Penn state? any team? at any level? that gives him the right to encourage that kind of stupidity? like I said, "would he say something so incredibly threatening/insensitive/malicious (your pick) to me in person would he? so why encourage some one to do it if they see my car...around town? seriously what would you have said if someone did that to a 100K car? Are you really defending the total absurdity/cowardice of that action?

give me a break !

disappointed said:

am i reading this wrong, or has frank used this blog to threaten somebody again? how can this pattern of behavior be tolerated? come on fred!

Frank C said:

randy ..keep pushing...you think you're cute and like to push people's buttons don't you...keep pushing...word of advice..quit while you still can...trash talking is a blog thing with anonymous people...run your mouth to someone you know and see where that gets you... like I said randy...keep pushing

pathetic said:

ok im going to come out right now, i am a DR senior. and i find it very pathtic reading about grown parnets crying about their sons/daughters schools and sports programs, the schools dont get the bad raps because of the students, they get them because of stupid and iggnorant parents talking smack and cursing, for gods sake grow up.

randy said:

Frank, looks like you've got quite the fan following here too......why do Damien folks dislike you so?, what happened out there? ahhh, WGAF? I dont.... look Frank, heavily populated Asian schools dont dominate in basketball, football, or baseball.....i defy you to go prove otherwise at the 3,500+ schools......show me numbers.......you didnt see that at Salesian, the demographic never changed....you wont see that Damien, although they certainly could afford it. You show me a school that has close to 3500, at a 65% Asian population clip, that consistently competes for championships in those three 3 sports. In Div 2 in baseball, in the Inland Division in football or Div 1AA in basketball....you might find one, but i doubt it....we just dont have the base to draw from anymore...a perfect example is Temple City...they dont get it done anymore....but they sure used to....

SINCE DB OPENED IN '82, WE HAVE WON MORE CIF CHAMPIONSHIPS THAN DAMIEN, GLENDORA, AND CHINO HILLS COMBINE!!!!!!!!!!!!....stick that feather in where the sun dont shine.....now we may not win another one soon (certainly not grouped in with I.E. for post season play).....BUT AT LEAST WE HAD A HELLUVA RUN......your all talk from your side, and in the end, those three mentioned teams get smoked in by the 2nd round cuz they are in over their heads too.....

For 7 straight years Ayala, Chino, and DB represented the Sierra League in the Finals of D2...then they opened Diamond Ranch, and Chino HIlls (both of whom have done NOTHING as a team, with todays "me--not we players)...and Ayala, Chino and DB have been done in.....the Bulldogs under Inglima, a former DB coach have done an excellent job rebounding these past two years...Chino still kicks ass in baseball, and we still make the playoffs in baseball and basketball.....but the CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL that those three schools earned and dominated in are over at this level.....i dont pretend to know why, LIKE YOU DO, but for the Brahmas we should be playing down we just dont have the base to draw from with the combop of the town make up changing, and DR opening......our preseason record is .500 over the past five years, against less than Sierra league type competition....it is what it is....kinda like Damien not having the ballz to stay in a Catholic school league, because they are afraid of the truth, they will get their hearts EATEN out alive, by the likes of teams like Salesian......You know it, and we know it....

One last note to you and your DR friends, the Asians like DB because its nice place to live and raise your children...they are migrating east along the Puente hills...i have lived out this way for 30 years, and have seen it myself as they fan across Hacienda Hts, Rowland Hts, Walnut and now DB....before you know they will be popping up all over the north side of DB, and will thin out DR's athletic base too.....kid yourself all you want...Temple City probably said the same thing 35 years ago....DR is running out of time...they need middle classed mexican and white kids, to mix in with their pomona ghetto crowd to make a run....they will be losing that middle classed kid soon enough....but it'll raise the API scores!!! Enjoy yourself Frank...sitting their naked in front of the screen like you probably are....And GFY!

P.S. I dont have your number, or i woulda called you along time ago...but put it out here so i can give you a call....we can talk about paint jobs....

Frank C,
im not randy you f*cktard. And we did pick the ball a few times, i dont know if it was 3 4 or 5, but on 7-8 pass plays, its all bad. and the backup probably did not have time to practice all the plays since the starter got suspended THE DAY BEFORE. It was the backups first ever start on varsity. So STFU FrankC, your dad shoulda just rolled over and shot you in the sheets when he was banging your mom.
By the way, the wwf is fake you f**kin moron. Get off their sack.

Frank C said:

you kow randy...i was at that game and actually told you I would be...as I have several times..the glendora game being another...but before I talk i like to make sure...didn't your team throw the ball like 8 times and get picked 3 times and not that exaggerated 5?

wasn't teh qb a senior? and didn't that senior RUN for a bunch of TDs against chino hills in that almost comeback...see randy I've thrown 3, 4, 5, and even 7 picks in one game...doesn't matter! the coach believes in you...you rally the huddle and keep fighting.

i threw 4 against notre dame and fumbled at the one to lose after two winning tds were dropped! it's a fact of life!

maybe you put to much faith in hunter...did hunter play at all against chino hills? wasn't chino hills tough? why the drastic change? what damien do against chino hills?

like i said randy you guys were tough against glendora and then glendora broke you guys... great game but mental tough is what you guys lack that game. comapred to GHS they were mentally tougher and better coached...or maybe they were just better than you! seems that happens alot by the way

i've been down by 21 points in the first quarter against a stellar verbum dei team and tied it at 2:11 and lost trying to go for a back side post that was intercepted after a great throw and a remarkable leaping interception....i went for the strip and missed and instead teh guy ran to teh 10...my fault I should have just tackled him...games are games...we didn't quit.

body language tells the story...ask any player...if you never seen a team quit...YOU DON'T KNOW SPORTS!

CALL ME: YOU HAVE MY NUMBER.

YOU FREAKIN BABY!

Frank C said:

"banned" ...as in not allowed to drink at the high school tailgate party?

"banned"...as in Fonzi doesn't think you're cool?

"banned" ..as in one of the truest and classiest vandalized my car ?

"banned" ..as in you gave Kenny Gibson $10,000 to get to China but so what?

"banned" ...as in I'm not part of the of morrison backstabbers?

"banned" ..as in if I go to a game ...you'll ask me to leave?

seriously...randy is the biggest sitzsu talker on her an an occassional drive by artist and he get's his feathers all in a bunch

6-24 in league ...deal with it!

you play beverly hills 90201 to get a worthless victory...and you're division DOS!

you just got dumped all the way down to walnuts league...and still might not win league!

sorry but maybe i'm wrong but why is it that your baseball team isn't all asian as you say?

randy when you get to la serna thing swill be different...they actually know how to play...play against tough mexican kids and just went 10-2

hey at least you'll be part of a winner again.

by the way those coaches at la serna...pretty good guys.


sgvfootball said:

Frank Corona,
youre and idiot. you really are. you think DB quit? No, they used what they had in the damien game. The backup qb threw 5 picks!! On 7 pass plays!! they had to rely on the run. If you didnt remember, damien was up 14-0 in the first half only due to big plays. And even the dumbest coach (which you probably had) can tell that a team is gonna run the ball more when the pass game is that awful. So Damien blitzed more often, causing the OL to get confused on the blocking schemes, which then led to the run game getting shut down. Honestly, if the said player hadnt gotten himself suspended THE DAY BEFORE THE GAME, DB woulda beat the hell outta you guys. Plain and simple.

True Spartans said:

Hey Randy, Corona has been banned by the Damien faithful. He is a man with no team. He loves misery. Just let him wander, and pay him no attention.

ANYWAY GREAT FUN!!!

Frank C said:

I like Petrilo's...Pepperoni and sausage or just single servings?

I figure maybe 4 pizzas?

randy come on you trash talk so much on here and get made for that!

hey what ever happened to you and Blue Orca and Whale Hunter?

You bugged that guy for fun didn't you? I mean it was just for fun right? No real sense of who he was or why you dogged him out so much right? But boy you had you fun.

randy maybe other non partial observers think you might have been deflated or emotionally drained because you lost 80% of your team but maybe where I come from that's called making excuses.

either way you're a crushing to me as the people you reference at least this tiem you signed your name...so thjeir is growth...have you checked into who is La Serna's rival so you can start into them...I think it's ...oh hell I don't care I'm sure yopu'll figure it out

boy you do run hot and cold...

Frank C said:

Randy...you lost 31-6 ! you quit sorry. I've seen DB get there asses kicked over the past sick years! Hell 1/4 of Morrison's wins came against you guys. talk about job security! Did teh QB play every defensive position as well. Maybe if you played randy you would see things differently. One player doesn't excuse what happened, every game is emotional, you studded out against Glendora...I was there...and took crap because I said Damien players shouldn't have been there with an important game the next night. But that's the past. randy you come on here and trash talk all the time and then deny it and now you come out and pretend you know what's up. you know randy when you get mad you sure do sound familiar...wonder why? does that mean no pizza for you...I was thinking pizza for the diamond bar crowd at Damien would be nice. oh well ...just pass on a slice!

you too much

randy said:

Frank, your calling our kids quiters? you are truly sounding like a d*ck.... you have no idea what they went through internally this year, so don't pretend to have some inside scoop....they came out like warriors after a terribly emotional WC game, against Glendora on the road. They were tied with GHS at half 21 all. GHS led by 6 and the end of the 3rd qtr., and then it was a shootout in the 4th, qtr, they scored 20, we scored 13.....they never quit! I cant believe your such a pompass little butthole.

Going into the Damien game, they were 4-4, and knew they had to win out the last 2 games to possibly make the playoffs. The afternoon before the biggest game our of this senior classes career, this guy goes and gets himself suspended for some foolish act, and is ruled out for both games. 80 percent of the offense is centered around him and his ability to run or throw.....we wind up throwing 5 picks with our back ups who did everything they could.....losing to Damien on the last reg season home game. Their lone TD came late in the 4th qtr, stopping a shutout....but you say they quit?....who are you anyways frank? you probably had a real good seat on our side of the stadium cuz your own people, true Damien fans, cant stand you.....

Then in final game against Chino Hills they came out in the second half down 27-0 with nothing to play for but pride, and scored 28 second half points on the road against Chino Hills....explain that d@ckhead! Its called heart, they displayed it from head to toe....

You owe me an apology.....i thought you were better than that. I obviously dont know you....but i'm gonna be just fine with that....

Frank C said:

Randy, maybe if you'd gone to Salesian like your other family members you would have learned this valuable lesson:

"It not the amount of warriors you send into battle that counts but the amount of "battle" in EACH WARRIOR that matters!

Salesian played Notre Dame, Crespi, Loyola, St. Francis, St. John Bosco and Pius X when they were feeder schools to the Pac 10. Our school was 10 years old at the time!

One year 1971 we had 21 All league selection in Football...in that league!

WE played Long Beach Banning, Poly and Wilson in preseason games. Played Blair and Pasadena when they were all speed and pissed vinegar and won our share! We fought to earn the right to fight!

I saw our basketball; team play against a 7 ft center from Crespi with a 5'8" monster name Satchmo who dipped and dooed his way for 4 quarters and saw two 6'9" forwards from Verbum Dei who went to USC named Marchetti and Williams on full rides get eaten up by a 6'1" center who lit them up for 44 pts in a 66-64 victory AT THEIR HOUSE!!!!. We've played against future NFL players and almost every former OC powerhouse team you can name...Servite, St. Anthony's Mater Dei and yes even Bishop Amat...when Bishop Amat was a monster...if whitey is right the score was 12-6! Amat..and that must have been a FIFHT!!!! We played against Mater Dei every year I was in high school because Rollinson was an alumni...and he ran his JV team thru suicides until he was satisfied they understood they should have won!!!! They lost by 2! He ran then 12 suicides because that's what he thought Salesian should have won by! That's commitment. Not one parent complained. Yes Rollinson was a Basketball coach at Saleisan as well.

Diamond Bar was spoiled with talent, coaching and endless resources as this part of the SGV was just exploding...and the "talent" came from everywhere...and I mean everywhere! What happened to DB was what happens to so many spoiled children...they don't know how to handle adversity seeing as everything came early and easy.

Too bad Salesian didn't schedule DB when my brother was there. They did put it to a couple of SGV schools and still only graduated 70 seniors! People wonder why DB is the way it is I'll tell you...lack of discipline and commitment. Sacrifice my friend is a constant companion of a Champion.

I saw DB against GHS and thought this team is hungry and talented and on to something...and than they quit. I saw them against Damien, who had quit themselves, and they laid down like rugs at a swap meet!.

I know there is a service that does the imaginary matchups...any one know who it is? Put in Salesian and DB and see what comes up.

The year Salesian won league they had a kid named Taz that wasn't even 5 ft and weight like 179 or something...mean little bolling ball running back...and he was a load...Size matters when you look at your size. Condition, Prepare, Condition, Execute, Condition, Rep Out, Condition, Study, Condition, Honor, Condition, Never Quit...Prepare to Fight and then you will.

Maybe Salesian new Coach Roddy Hiatt will give DB a call and see what's what! Salesian doesn't talk trash as Baldwin Park will tell you but we do compete...shake hands and find out who's who and what's what.

DB and DB should be great games and bring that community closer together. Hope you like La Serna..,why not Damien?

Pizza at The Baseball game? I'll treat your fans to some Pizza if you're there. Say when my friend


randy said:

I'm pretty much over this madness, but not quite yet. It is funny to see the DR/DB sh*t that flies around here. My boy is moving right along,thanks for asking, and I hope he does follow me. Their kids are moving past high school too. Thankfully, this Hatfield and McCoy thing is winding down here. I live in Whittier now, and my other kids will go to La Serna most likely. However, I do find it odd that DR has this "hard on" for getting the "big game" on with DB. The Panthers have more depth, and more talent, and more kids to pull from period. DBHS may have 3500 kids...but over 2200 are Asian, and they don't ball, for the most part. So be it. The Ranch has been around for what, 12 years now? They haven't run the table like DBHS did in those same first 12 years In that same amount of time DBHS had established itself as a monster AND a CIF CHAMPION in damn near EVERY sport. Has DR duplicated any of that success? Hell no. Maybe in Girls track.... but thats about it. The Ranch clan wants blood, and they may get it, but they aint gonna get those CIF Banners with such signature wins against the likes of DBHS. They cant seem to get over the CO choke hold, moving in this new league for them is a joke. They shoulda gone in to the Sierra replacing DBHS. But i think the Ranch Nation will take the easiest route they can to nail down a championship at this point. They are tired of coming up short. They expected to be a dynasty, and they obviously fell way off the mark on that one. It will take a team to win that elusive prize, not just 6 studs....i wonder if they have learned that lesson through these past few years....dont know, dont care. Ya see, the kids i knew on both sides of Grand were the class of '08 and class of '09. Through it all i couldn't be more proud of my son, or his purple and gold teammates who have gone through some tough years! They did everything they could with what they had, and mad us damn proud! If anyone is insecure, its these Ranch parents shooting their mouths off thinkin one win over DB will somehow make up for the 12 years that they have been telling everybody that DRANCH is the the Sh*t!!!! Never once did your kids lay down the mark of CIF Champions, like i endlessly heard time and time again. Our "watch" is over, and you were all bark, and no bite! S-T-F-U already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frank, this msg was not intended for "you". Don't get all rattled, they know who they are. By the way, has DR won their first league game yet in baseball? Its almost May now, just askin'?......so much for the dynasty in that sport.... hasta la by-bye mang!!!!!!!!!

brahmas said:

Ok so apparently things have been said on this blog that are really dumb and immature. DR kids are not all bad. DB kids are not all nerdy or un-athletic. Its wrong to stereotype kids based on schools reputations. But for the DR folks that seriously think that DR gets a bad rap only because DB is 'threatened' by your success, grow up and get a life. DB gets pounded on by Glendora, Ayala, and would get beat by SHills, but you dont see them placing a bad reputation on those schools do you? Like i said, not all DR kids are bad. Not all DB kids are good. But the fact is when some kids at BOTH schools get together, things happen. Doesnt happen when DB plays Walnut, Brea, or anyone else. Nothing happens. Things only go down when DB/DR meet. Now as a parent, principal, coach, etc, do you want to put your kids in that situation? BOTH schools need to learn how to act civilized with eachother.
and to DRanchhh,
DB isnt scared to play anyone. Stop talking about 'fear'. You make your team sound like they won the Super Bowl or something. DB played CO and got beat by them BAD. they beat you guys TWICE. Why would we be more scared to play you over CO? or Locke? or Long Beach Jordan? or Temescal Canyon? or Anyone? DB wants comepetition in preseason because it prepares them for the tough sierra league. at least when they were in the sierra. No boubt, DR is gonna be tough for DB. Not gonna dance around that. Its just the two schools need to learn to act properly around eachother.

biggestConcern:

Your biggest concern is obviously Layton. Just like the majority of people who feel threatened by him. Just so happens that kids who play DB PW have older siblings who attend DR. He only states the facts when asked about his school, their culture and program. FEAR is a hail of a drug !!

yes randy we're cool

what's in the water over there?

diamond bar is in the right league now. there seems to be great league matchups and the players and parents with probably have family of both sides in almost every competition.

hopefully diamond bar starts to win consistently and someday wins another championship. it's too bad adults decide to destroy what should be welcomed competition.

maybe diamond bar and diamond ranch need to accept each others concerns and address them now. the new league will take place in one year...plenty of time to put things right.

maybe they could have a faculty basketball game on donkeys. we did it a Salesian every year and had some of the best times ever

coach rollinson was a beast and coach ruedaflores finally meet his match on a donkey about as stubborn as he was...just kidding he pulled on that donkey so hard the handlers came out and gave him a new one...and then the stubborn donkey followed coach...when he got back on the gym erupted!!!!!!!!! Coach Ruedaflores was a total stud!

seeing Roddy on a donkey might be about as entertaining as it gets! either way whatever DR/DB decide they should start by announcing they are making every effort to bring civility to this situation. no one wins when everyone loses.

the best way to end the bad blood is thru shared experiences and measured interaction. there will always be knuckleheads but then again the point is to make that the exception rathert than the rule.

how's your "Rudy" doing? did he decide to follow in Dad's footsteps or is he going to college?

are you going to the damien-db baseball games?

thanks for clearing that up

biggestConcern said:

The biggest concern between DRanch and DBar should be the recruiting tactics allowed to happen within Diamond Bar. DBHS makes their stadium available for the DB Pop Warner group and is being out recruited in their own stadium. A certain HS coach goes to those games in his HS football attire and actively talks about how strong his program is and occassionally leaves his school's attire behind for the prospective player to take home for the "future". He also actively participates in recruiting discussions while at BBQ's at player's homes and outlines out of district transfer guidelines just in case these players want to go to the other school. Unfortunately this has been going on for a few years now and no one bothers to follow up or question these tactics. It is also unfortunate that DBHS administration and athletic staff would allow this to happen in their own backyard. Shame on DBHS for not being more attentive to these tactics and participating more with these feeder programs. Being outcoached is one thing, but being outrecruited in your own backyard is a shame. Bring on the games!!

Not to mention R2D2 - Where are the 7 team leagues in my proposal? Add the inability to read to your list of problems.

To R2D2 or whatever your name is said:

You must be an idiot. You come on here and accuse me of popping off. Yet you don't even read the approved releaguing proposal that has two yes thats right two 7 team leagues. The Miramonte and Mt. Baldy. So if I am popping off then I would like to ask you what planet or alternate universe to you inhabit? Is CIF popping off? Are the principals that voted for this popping off? No pal you are the only one popping off.

Jerry said:

The sports program is about kids, not about parents. Many of you out there create ugly situations. On both side of Grand Ave, you are perpetuating a sterotype on both schools that is unwarranted and deterimental to the students. You are stirring the pot. Let it go and be excited for the students. The students on both side of Diamond Bar are excited because they can finally play each other. It will bring a new sense of rivalry and pride to the area. I look forward to this new league and the oppurtunity to see these kids compete against one another. Lets grow up and act like responsible people. Believe me, you don't need to do much to get students-athletes from DBHS and DRHS excited to compete against each other.

jstathot said:

First of all, for all of those "uninitiated", the service academies require a "nomination" by a congressman or a senator from their home state and after receiving a "nomination" then their "nominations" are accepted by the respective service academy. They become "Cadets" and are trained to be "Officers" in the their respective branch of service.

Following a successful "graduation" they are then "commissioned" into the respected branch of service they have chosen.

None of this process is easy and each individual went through a much more difficult "academic and physical" testing process than in any college or university in this or any other country.

The students, parents, and schools should be very proud of these young people!!!

They will go through more physical and mental testing than from the 1st day that they arrive to the last day that they leave or graduate and that is what is done to make them leaders of our country's military!!

The only advantage that they will have over other "Cadets" is that they will be eating at the "trainer's tables" which means that they will eat all they want and it will be "regulated" by the training staff. They will learn to eat while at attention, "square their meals" and be tested mentally throughout.

This is no USC, UCLA cake walk and these young people will be going through the most difficult period they have ever experienced!!

My hat is off to them because they have been chosen to not only participate in a sport but to have the opportunity to become the future leaders of this great nation.

All of this ranting and raving between DR & DB is childish, petty, immaturity that these students will leave far behind in their new lives!!

Thank God and Country for young people like these that have been chosen to represent our neighborhoods and our country!!!

Frank C said:

tell me dbhs isn't randy?

I encourage you to spend some time with Coach Roddy Layton. He is one of the finest men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I was fortunate and honored to have spent some time on the Diamond Bar sidelines. These young men that Coach Layton has mentored are exceptional young men. I have been around a lot of athletes over the years and it was a tremendous awakening that I witnessed this season in the team, the assistant coaches and the Diamond Ranch community. I also had the pleasure of meeting some school administrators and boosters and i will tell you Diamond Ranch has it's act together.

When I spoke to Roddy I always mentioned how Damien would be a great fit for him. He's charismatic, energetic and incredibly driven, plus people gravitate to a man with passion and love for kids. Once again I encourage you to sit with the man and listen to the way he sees his role. Players at Diamond Ranch know who is in charge and they understand why 2.5 is not 2.0, they understand why rules are rules and why every kid needs to be heard and helped. That's why players come back and stand on teh sidelines...not to show off but out of respect for DR and Roddy.

One thing that struck me about Diamond Ranch was the total and inclusive sense of their diversity. People at Diamond Ranch support each other and share in the dream of a better future thru hard work and dedication. It's no accident that Vickers and Lengyl earned their commissions anymore than it's a suprise that Semons chose UCLA "because he wanted to go to a school where his degree would matter if he got hurt the first day of practice", or Williams is going to Colgate...these are quality kids. Spirlin, Bonilla and others are incredible individuals who deserve more respect than to be torn down by some loudmouth with imaginary demons in his head. This team was special and numbers and records don't do this team justice, but then how would you know you're so filled with hate and envy.

No one is "rubbing on DR's leg" or "hiding from my Damien Dads" I go where I chose and DR was an incredible experience. Today ironically Damien held their last home track meet against Diamond Bar and the turnout of DB parents was pathetic! Their was no Purple Haze..more like purple specks. Damien/St. Lucy's dominated and as usual students from both schools knew each other and shared laughs between events...there is no hate at that age. You should remember that!

DB had a great run a long time ago. Hopefully you enjoyed that run in whatever manner you could muster...but today is another day and a new and incredible force is on the horizon and you "dbhs" or whomever or whatever are looking like a child who's balloon has flown away......

I will encourage you once again, and hopefully it doesn't affect my friendship with Roddy, to spend some time at Diamond Ranch and see the wonderful things they are accomplishing. You never truely know a man unless you talk to them face to face...and "dbhs" I think I've already talked to you.

Let it go already...besides didn't your kid grow up with the DR kids?

dbhs said:

to the DR community,
I am sorry for displaying Amari Statens personal info. I brought about loose morals just to prove a point.
I also want to note that DB will make a return to football dominance. The coaches there are proven winners. It will take time for the Cuccia and Saiz mentality to fade away.

dbhs said:

i honestly dont know who dropped Diamond Bar whether it was Leach or Layton. I dont care really. The main thing is that we got dropped late in the year. Thats about it. You werent scared of us, you just dropped us late.
This could be a lose-lose situation for Diamond Bar. You guys dont have a good rep. We dont want you here at a football game. And i didnt place that rep on you, you and your actions placed it on you. Deal with it. You can live up to the reputation, or you can turn it around. You have a year and a half to prove yourselves. Maybe you do have class. I personally have never been to a Diamond Ranch game aside from the championship game (and everyone around goes to that, so its no good judge)
But you showed no class at the basketball game (dont even try denying it), and at knotts fights broke out. I am not saying that DR is solely at fault, but things get outta control when DR and DB meet. As a principal or AD, would you want to host a football game, with more people than basketball, knowing that the two schools get crazy and act stupid around eachother? NO.
Hell, you guys place a sterotype on us as well dont you? That we are nerdy little asian kids who can be pushed around and punked on all the time. Am i right?
And to FAN FAIR, when the hell has anyone from diamond bar ever boasted a 4-6 record? Can you see someone saying "YEAHH 4-6 BABYY!!!WHOO!!"?? It doesnt happen. I am proud of DBHS, its my Alma Mater. but seriously, were not bragging over here.
So lets talk about playing. Thats why were on here right? I think that DB had a better quarterback and better tailbacks, and a better coach. But everything else will go to DR. For now.

Parent said:

As a parent who looked into both schools I can tell you both DR and DB are solid academic institutions but DB does rate higher. Second, the sports at both schools are good depending on which sports your child is interested in. Tennis DB, Football DR. When it comes to sending an athlete to a college on an athletic scholarship DR has an advantage. School diversity DR. Higher SAT scores DB. Each has bragging rights and neither is a horrible school. What a parent must decide is which school is best for their child. If my son was into music and a school band he would go to DB. If my son is into sports he is going to DR. At both schools the students are going get a challenge and prepared for college.
My son will attend DR because he is a football player. I have heard coach Layton speak and believes he has the football program going in the right direction. I have looked at both schools closely and have made my decision with total confidence. Layton emphasizedacademics and athletics. He is sending players to college and that is what I want for my son. This is not a slam to DB it is just my perception. My daughter is into soccer and dance so when she becomes of high school age I will decide at that time.
Also, I think we should leave names off the Blog. To have a players businees put out for all to read in not appropriate. None of us know the situation behind this person or his family. Leave the names of children off the Blog.

dbhs said:

DRanchhh,
It seems you dont understand that DR can produce more athletes than DB. and you also dont understand that DB students produce better SAT scores than DR students.
heres your link to prove it:
http://projects.latimes.com/schools/sat-scores/ranking/page/1/
Diamond Bar is ranked 87th, Diamond Ranch is ranked 446th.
As for Staten, he simply failed his classes. Ask anybody. Transfer students are not going to receive any slack if they fail classes. And no california public school makes it so that you need a 2.5 to play sports. You need a 2.0 only.
And just to prove you again that DB is better academically (still dont know why you keep coming back), when was the last time you heard a DB player being academically ineligible? DB had only one each of the last two seasons, none of which were varsity.
There you go. I gave you a link, i told you facts, I did not use harsh language, etc.
Now lets go back to making this a high school sports blog. Again, i stand to my point that the brahmas will be able to play with anyone in the new San Antonio/Miramonte League soon enough, it will take time for people around the school to realize that big things are happening, and come out for sports.

FAN FAIR said:

Purple Haze and DBHS you both live in fantasy worlds. First of all the schedule for Diamond Ranch in 2006 was set by Tom Leach. Leach was an assisitant at Edison prior to coming to Diamond Ranch, so it was not Layton who dropped Diamond Bar. Secondly, that schedule was set midseason of the 2005 season when DR had a Semi-Final run. Oaks Chrisitian was set at the same time. Servite had already been put in place from previous years. Ayala had always been on the schedule. Chino Hills was added early on because of his known success at Diamond Bar. The whole schedule was put together prior to this alleged Diamond Bar match up. So how could have their been a drop on Layton or DR's part? Each year DR haters from Diamond Bar have ducked DR and has tried everything they can to put DR in a bad light. The reason is simple. For years Diamond Bar was successful in sports and academics. Players flocked to the school from the northside so they would not have to attend Ganesha. Diamond Ranch was built and suddenly you lost all that talent. The "basketball game" you were talking about who won? DR. Most of the times we match up who wins? Diamond Bar has ducked DR football because they know if the two teams play DR would win and they could no longer boast. So the best thing to do was talk about playing and slander DR and make excuses why not to play. Now the votes have made it where you have to play and you are upset? Two schools close geographically and share the same youth development programs not playing is sad. Now you must play and it will be great for all. Both schools will win. That is what is special about rival games.

DRanchhhh said:

DBHS:

Please get your facts straight. Grades this, Academics that, is false information and pure speculation until facts are posted. So until then, keep assuming based on your enrollment of a majority asian population. I need to see links with this information.

Also, so that you know, Staten was kicked out of DB. He lives in that area. So when a child is kicked out, do we just give up on them?? NO!! Just so that you know, Amari pulled his GPA up to a 2.35 just last year and this year they took a dip again in which he was penalized for the whole post season while we were in the playoffs. Mind you, he was a starter. So please know that you are required a 2.5 GPA min to particpate in Athletics period, at DR.

3200 compared to 1875 is a huge factor. Just seems that kids @ DB would much rather be in the 200 man band and 30 man badminton team. The truth is, parents want their kids to suceed and follow their dreams. If that means sending my kid to Db bc he or she is a damn good trumpet-ista, or to DR bc he or she is has a damn good 18 footer, that should not make them hoodlums and un-classy!! Bottom line this is what DBHS people believe. You guys have been around for years, and now the new guy comes along and he is a threat. Typical trait of people who FEAR defeat. Let us be, allow us to build our tradition that is young and bountiful without all of the ....Fear...No, Slandering....No, the word im looking for is HATE!

dbhs said:

to 'to purple haze',
Originally, Diamond Ranch was supposed to play Diamond Bar but in April 2006 Roddy Layton dropped us for Edison. This is the truth. No one is scared to play eachother, but the DB athletic admin is still bitter because we had to find two filler games (Locke, Long Beach Jordan) late in the year because Layton couldnt stay true to his word.
and just to shut up all the DR people who say grades are just as good at DR as DB, Amari Staten tried out for the DB football team in spring or 2007, but he had STRAIT F'S. he transfered back to DR and is playing for them now.

To Purple Haze said:

Purple Haze FYI in 2006 Diamond Ranch Preseason was Edison ( Division 1 CIF Champs), Chino Hills, Servite, Ayala, and Oaks Chrisitan (CIF and State Champs). Two teams from your league and three of the best teams in the Southern California.

DBHS vs. DR Football said:

We do have the same kids in football but DR will continue to dominate in football as long as Layton is at the Ranch. He continues to push his program in an upward motion and makes sure they (and himself) receive a lot of attention. He hires quality coaches and uses his resources at the college and NFL level. He understands what parents and players want and he delivers. He is a motivational speaker and entertaining to listen to. He is attaracting players from the local area and as long he is the head coach we will continue to lose players to DR.

dbhs said:

I am happy that Lengyl and Vickers going to Navy and Air Force academies, especially when they could play somwhere else. Nothing should be taken away from the boys.
The main fact i have is that as of now is that Diamond Bar is better academically, and as of now Diamond Ranch is better athletically. except badminton. We will murder you in badminton.
As for the rep that DR has, you brought it upon yourselves. No one gets a rep randomly. You have to do or say certain things to get/maintain a reputation, good or bad.

dbah said:

Diamond bah should stick to academics and be done with sports.Diamond Bah says you only need a 1.5 GPA to play sports at Diamond Ranch, well i guess Diamond Ranch looked pretty good this year sending two athletes to Air Force and Navy to play football.I know for a fact you need a congressional approval to get to these schools and a great GPA as well.

Thank You Diamond Ranch

dbhs said:

as for any fights, i honestly dont know about the basketball game. I do know that a trucks back window got smashed. I dont know who's truck it was or who did it, but it happened. Why else would sheriffs be called? The only reason the DB fans came down was because the DR fans came down and stomped on the brahma logo in center court. It wasnt like a college team that won a HOME GAME. You guys came down, and stomped on the logo of an opposing HOME team. Way to show some class.
And as for academics, DBHS does have a higher amount of academic competition than DRHS. Thats why parents from Rowland, Walnut, WC, Chino Hills, NORTH DIAMOND BAR and other towns send their kids to DBHS. Its the academic competition and our exceptional IB program. Im just stating facts.
But this is a football blog, not an academic blog. So I think in a few years DB will compete with DR. As many have said, theyre the same people right?

To DBHS said:

To DBHS I was at that basketball game and both sides were filled with great emotion. DR students did rush the court after an exciting game (like you see many times in college) and were on the floor for about 15 seconds. Yes maybe emotions got the best of them, but that is friendly rivalry. Do you recall that same game when fans on DBHS side booed a player? It was your floor annoucer (much respect) who told the fans "We are classier than that." It was the students booing. I laughed that night because as soon as I walked out of the gym the sheriffs were already there saying we must leave immediately. Think about it.... I mean really think.... was there any fights? Almost fights? Not even close. The kids love the game and enjoy playing with each other when they were younger and against each other now that they are in high school. Fights at Knotts? It takes two to fight. And WAY WAY better academics? Check the state board and you will see it is not that far off. Get over yourself. Two good schools with each having a reason to brag. Stop trying to bash.

Diamond Bar Resident said:

How does a school such as Diamond Ranch with a great academic record be viewed by SOME DB Parents and one Walnut person as a low performing school? DR is in their second consecutive term of being recognized as a California Diastinguished School. It is Nationally rated in the US News and World Report and has students attending universitites around the nation. The population is much more diverse than both of the Walnut Unified schools and we take pride in our cultural diversity. Several movies have been filmed on campus and the architectural design received several honors. The schools dance and performong arts team was recognized as the best in the LA County and there are numerous clubs on campus. We are on top of the Hill that not only has a great panaramic view, but also creates a safe environment. How does this translate to a low performing schools with students with 1.5 gpa's and criminal records? Because we have had recent success in sports we have suddenly become a thug school? Are you serious? My child played Diamond Bar Pop Warner, Diamond Bar-Walnut Youth League Basketball and Diamond Bar Little League. I am good friends with people on both sides and it is a shame that are a few try to speak for many. You don't like DR because of ...??? that is fine, but to try to use slander and make an excellent school sound like a ghetto school is absurd.

if you have a 7 team league then the sports where they play each other 3 times screws up the non league games.then they have to drop tournaments and dble headers. next time use some common sense before you pop off. whos the moron?

Basic,
I see your point about 7 & 8 team leagues,
as a fan, I would like to see at least one of the two teams stay in common senses proposed San Ant/Mira league, preferably S.Hills because of the natural rivalry with WC, but having D-Ranch in our league would be fun too.

dbhs said:

as for DRannchh or however many letters you have,
Diamond Bar has 3200 students, and trust me, please trust me, the academics is FAR FAR greater than Diamond Ranch, just handle that fact.
And as for the size of the school, it doesnt matter. Diamond Ranch could bring 200/1900 to play football (rough estimate). Diamond bar only brings out 100/3200 (rough estimate). We just dont get the athletes. Instead, people focus more on grades rather than play sports. Honestly, i think the students at DB could play ball with the students at DR, its just whoever comes to play. DB had 6 or 7 guys playing both ways this year. So dont base the competition on the size of a school.
And no, DB should NOT shut down the football program. Too much history in this place for it to go away.

dbhs said:

now to those of you who are saying that DR isnt all bad. Theyre not. They just get crazy when they are around DB. Thats the truth. You dont see DB students and fans stomping on the logo of and opposing teams basketball court do you? NO, YOU DONT. this happend a year ago and honestly, do you think its not the DR fans? Do you think the DB students and staff said 'hey DR, come over and act stupid on our court'?
No they are not criminals, it was wrong for anyone to say that, hell they probably are nice students. But this happened at a basketball game. LESS PEOPLE THAN A FOOTBALL GAME. now think of what would happen at a DB/DR FOOTBALL GAME.
Diamond Bar used to go to knotts berry farm on the first day of school, since 1982. Diamond Ranch started going too. For 4 consecutive years, db/dr students would get kicked out of the pard due to fights with one and ohter.
WE ARE NOT SCARED OF DIAMOND RANCH, BRING EM ON. we are just tired of the fights, the stupid acts, etc that happens when the two schools get together.

Mike said:

Does this Leauge start in the comming up seasson or in 2 years

DRanchhhh said:

I was wondering were the Brahmas were. Look, we over here at DR just want to call peace. We dont want any trouble. I dont see why a school with 4300 pupils enrolled compared to 1875 @ DR, are in such an uproar. That factor alone confuses me. We just want continue building on the foundation recently built 12 years ago.

All of this talk about we are convicts, its a prison, we live in pomona, etc., shows that RACISM is still alive in well in DB. And it seems you relay that idea over the Blogs. It sucks that you guys are not man or woman enough to say how you truly feel. Oh, I fogot, you dont want DB to look bad, right? Anytime you relate such harsh and slandering terms and or comments to a school, its done to cast a black cloud over those kids who live in that area. So what some of our kids live in Pomona, Phillips Ranch, Diamond Bar, Chino Hills. SO WHAT! Is it the fact that they are diverse in their in environment (referencing Latino, African American, Caucasian, Asian decent children) or do you really feel like our kids are that horrible?

Also let me touch on the whole thing where you guys (DB Parents) think that every one in pomona is horrible. Just because you guys are Cops, DEA agents, Sherrifs, that doesnt make you people better than people who live in pomona. Ask the average person in any city how they feel about Cops! I dont care if we lived in BHILLS or Watts I dislike the idea of people making it seem like we are a bunch of imbeciles.

Whats funny is that I coached at DB Pop Warner for 3 years. Of the 3 years, we collectively as a group of coaches took this team to the championships, losing the first year and winning the this past year for the 1st time in 23 years. I took pride in that accomplishment. My son happened to have been the starting tailback both years who happens to be Black. Even him being just 11, 12 and 13 years of age, saw the evident racism in that city.

You people need to grow up and focus on what really matters, being an AMERICAN. I can only imagine how you feel about our President!!

Dan,

I actually like the last proposal by Common Sense, I just thought that if a 7-team league gets the same number of playoffs spots as an 8-team league, why not have two 7-team leagues?

Dan Author Profile Page said:

Basic,
The last time any of the San Antonio/Miramonte league teams were in the title game was WC in 2004, and they won their championship game. They could have been there in 06 if not for injuries & other problems, Rowland & WC were in the semi finals last season. My point is that this league is plenty enough competitive for D-Ranch.
D Ranch lost most of their studs to graduation so unless they got some stud transfers in we just don't know how competitive they will be next season, I'm sure they'll put out a good team, I just don't see it as good as this past seasons team, Bonita, WC, Rowland
should all be good games vs D.Ranch, If Los Altos & D-Bar could ever get close to what they use to be, this league could be very tough.

baby blue nutter said:

I like the idea of Diamond Bar shutting down their football program. They can let the football players transfer. If you have a GPA of 3.0 or better, you roll down the hill to the Nut. If you have a GPA of 1.5 or below and two or more felony convictions, you go to.....PPPPPRANCH!!! Hook em up with three student aid classes.

Let it begin. WALNUT...SLEEPER.

Common Sense,

As long as Colony can still compete this seems to make the most sense...

I do see that you moved SH out of the Sierra, why not keep them there to have two 7-team leagues? I know this is nik-picking but just wondering... I think that two out of SH, D-Ranch or Claremont should be in the Sierra and one should be in the San Mira but really any combo would work for me, and If you get the same number of teams in the playoffs I'd preffer to have two 7-team leagues.

Diamond Bar Resident said:

To the Diamond Bar HS parent who keeps referring to Diamond Ranch as a bad school you should look at your pictures from Pop Warner and Little League. Our children all played together. When I look at my childrens teams I see children who attend DR, DB, Amat,and Damien. When did just the North of Grand players just suddenly act wild. Most of our children get along really well and look forward to the games. Each school has certain sports that will be their strengths. DR Football Program is on the rise and DB baseball continiues to be solid. All of the children are from Diamond Bar and suddenly you throw us in the prison system? The academics at all four schools are solid. I went to our City Celebration and had a chance to talk to Coach Layton for a good amount of time. I asked about the academic differences of the four schools and he was like an almanac of information about DR. I have spent the time to research his facts and they were consistent of what he says. DB has an API of 858 and DR 808. Amat is private. DB offers 19, DR 18 and Amat 15 AP courses. DB is a 7 out of 10 to similar schools and DR is a 10 out of 10 to similar schools. Amat is private. Both DB and DR have over a 99% graduation rate. All three schools have a high number of students going to college. The real difference between the two schools sports program is a small margin. Football at DR has a huge advantage with Coach Layton. He is visual at all Diamond Bar events and believes deeply in his program. Basketball is a toss up. Both have solid coaching and players and should be quite even. Baseball DB might have a slight advantage in player depth because they have a deveolpment travel baseball program. DR does not. Advantage baseball. Aagin, not much difference between the two schools and WE ARE FROM THE SAME CITY with similar type children. Look at the photos.

Hey Fred. You should forward that to the releaguing honks over at CIF.

Common Sense said:

The real issue and problem in this whole thing is the Chaffey School District. Their superintendent wants to keep four schools from the district in 2 separate leagues. As a result of this the school that really is misplaced is Colony HS. They are only 5 miles away from Etiwanda. They play most of the Baseline schools in pre-season, they have won 2 CIF tiles in Football and at least one in basketball. They dominate their league (top 3 in almost every sport - boys and girls) They should be moved to the Baseline. Makes way more sense for them to drive 5 miles up the 15 then it does for Glendora to take palyofftype road trips every week. Plus 4 schools from that district will now have to make the same trip as Glendora going west.

If there are any principals or ADs out there and you need an appeal here is what I think would be the best most equitable releaguing of them all. However, this would make way too much sense for the CIF morons to ever agree to it.

Baseline (6)
Colony
Los Osos
Upland
Rancho
Etiwanda
Alta Loma

Sierra (6)
GLENDORA
Damien
Charter Oak
Ayala
Chino Hills
Claremont

Miramonte (8)
WC
S Hills
D Ranch
D Bar
Rowland
LA
Walnut
Bonita

Mt Baldy (6)
Chino
Lugo
Ontario
Montclair
Chaffey
Garey

V Vista
Leave the way they had it
Montview
Leave the way they had it

As you can see - this is a no brainer. Makes most everyone happy and also makes sense geographically.

HSFF,

I am not a D-Ranch fan, so maybe I should not be the one responding to you. Having said that, I do agree that they have no CIF titles but can you honestly say that they would not be competetive if moved to the Sierra? afterall this is about being most competetive, right? so to me the move into the Sierra would be good. They were in the CIF title games for Football and Baseball were they not? When was the last time any of the new San Miromonte league teams were in a CIF title game in the big 3 sports? Again, this is just my opinion.

So what about the move of Glendora and Chino Hills???

To all the Diamond Ranch fans that are wondering why DR is in a league with DB, WC, Rowland, etc-
YOU HAVENT WON ANYTHING.
win a championship, A LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP, then complain. really, the last four years at dranch have been mediocre aside from this last season.

Basic Author Profile Page said:

???

So does anyone see an issue with switching Glendora and Chino Hills???

And then going one step further and switching Claremont and D-Ranch???

Seems like an easy fix to me, but that's just my opinion. I'd like to know what downside, if any, does anyone see with those two changes?

DBarHomer Author Profile Page said:

Don't forget, DBar was a senior dominated team. They have nothing left. If Martin can win 3 games in '09 he will be the SGV coach of the year.

DBarHomer Author Profile Page said:

Hey, I hope you're right and there is DBar comes back. If it is ever going to happen the athletic director needs to sit his coaches down and get the bullsh*t cleared out. Coaches can not be talking returning varsity lettermen football players about not playing football their senior year. Pomona Ranch keeps crowing about their program, but the asian wave will eventually hit them like it has Rowland, Wilson, Walnut and DBar....DBar coaches need to treat the school like it's a small school and encourage atheletes to play everything. Yes our enrollment is big, but name ten asian Div 1 or pro football players...

Diamond Bar resident,
I actually would like to see a resurgence at Diamond bar, you guy's had some great teams in the late 90's, with Jason Wright & his brother[Spelling?], as a fan, its more fun when we can get up for an opponent that we know will be a tough game. WC & D-Bar had some pretty exciting games in the early 2000's.

Huskies said:

Huskies win league in 2010!!!

Dan,
true, Diamond Bar got beat this year but it was 35-25 and honestly we got some bs calls from the officials. It should never be 4th and 55 TWICE in a game.
But yes, i agree that DB will have to come out hard against WC in the future but its not like WC will get blowout wins. Honestly DB should get a resurgence within the next few years.

Dan Author Profile Page said:

Diamond Bar resident,
It's not the late 90's anymore, times have changed, I don't think D-Bar will be handling
WC in the next couple of years.

sgvfootballfan,
before you talk smack, learn to spell 'losing' right.
thats why you should not got to diamond ranch. youll be a senior or even an alumni making academic mistakes that a 2nd grader wouldnt. The school looks like a prison, so it will prep you for when you probably end up getting convicted. Thats where most alumni end up going.
and for DBarHomer,
i dont think that db will be a losing team once the re-leaging happens, they can handle walnut, wc, and los altos. do you think martin would ever lose to rowland either?
DB will make the playoffs in this league. Also, Fred Robledo will finally give some respect to this once prestigious program.

what have you won? please list the years you won cif, then list the years you won league.
thank you

BettyB said:

Congratulations to all the teams that had releaguing go their way and my condolences to the ones who didn't.

I for one am looking forward to CO in the Sierra league although CO has been playing these teams in a varity of sports already for the past few years.

With all this change we should be seeing a lot of coaches scrambling to sign non-league game contracts. That opens up a lot of possibilities for some great preleague games.

sgvfootballfan said:

Diamond bah......
Any more football players that are tired of playing for a loosing program just head up the hill to DIAMOND RANCH and we'll have our welcoming committee waiting for you.That's only if you want to see lots of football recruiters !!!!!

woww said:

Again not mentioning chino who has won the sierra league three times out of the last four years and the way it looks, they are headed for another division title. Where has glendora been? Thats right, at the bottom.

DBarHomer Author Profile Page said:

I love DBar. I think they should do like the local Division 1 colleges (Cal State Fullerton, Long Beach State) and just drop football. Coaches are now pressurring multi-sport atheletes not to play football because there is no furture in it. So what! It's high school! Martin is getting undermined everywhere and doesn't even know it. I guess it's just the era we live in but I hate coaches pressuring kids to make a choice. The days of the guy with 9 varsity letters is long gone.
DBar will be no more competitive in this league than the were in th Sierra League, football wise. Pomona ranch will beat us and crow about how they're the best shool in Diamond Bar (uh, you're in Pomona). Luckily we get to play them in baseball, and no matter how bad our baseball coach is, we will beat Pomona Ranch.

purple haze said:

damn DB principal denis paul better bring a bat, or hell even a gun to the game with Diamond Ranch knowing how their fans always get when theyre around us. Honestly DB is just tired of the crap. Hopefully the students players and fans at dranch show some class in 2010.
Atleast Roddy cant back out of a league game, like he did in April 2006? Remember that DR fans? Maybe we can play at a park too? Layton dropped us first and now cuz his team made it to the championship game (which is no joke mind you) he's running around talking all this smack about how DB is scared to play.

how in the heck did kelly and leduc let this happen? they dont have any pull
at all? now our kids are gonna spend 45min. to 90min. on buses everytime they go on the road. who is gonna pay for the gas? ghs already is hitting private donors so hard for operating money it feels like a private school. not to mention that they will have a hard time making playoff revenue in all sports but maybe basketball. the only good news is little bobby will be ex posed to more scouts in all sports.some consolation

Dan Author Profile Page said:

My bad also,
I too, was confusing the Central with the Inland
division, it won't be as bad as I first thought for S,Hills, & Charter Oak, but it will still be much harder for them to get by teams like Rancho C, Los Osos, Chino Hills & Upland, compared to what they faced in the Southeast division, I was first thinking they would be in
the inland division with teams like Cenntennial, Chapparal, Norco, REV, & so on, which would have been a nightmare, but at least
in the Central they might compete once in a while, but I don't see a title for Big Lou or
Bogan in the near future.

Frank C said:

Dan, that's a great point. Until this year Damien beat the tar out of Charter Oak, physically for sure. Crushed them a few times from what I remember. Yes CO was physical THIS year but the Sierra League is more than just FOOTBALL???? Now add Charter Oak and South Hills to the teams that destroyed Damien in the past playoffs and well CO and SH have no chance in the playoffs. I saw SH and CO last year more than once and who did the Sierra League teams lose to in the playoffs? Damien has been crushed in every playoff game but one in the past six years. That El Dorado team that ruled that division gets beat by Morrison's led Spartans hands down. Never been a Morrison fan but he could beat up on weak sisters better than most! Just ask Claremont and Diamond Bar!

This isn't going to be pretty!

Now as far as basketball...does Charter Oak have a good basketball program? I've never heard of them making any noise. How about South Hills? Both those schools are what Div 6 traditionally? Now they are going to be playing basketball and soccer at Div 2 levels? I don't think so. The playoffs for CO and SH just got scary. Let's wait and see how many transfers come in to those schools now that they've moved up 3/4 divisions in competiton. With so many IE foreclosures maybe the SGV with get some more speed.

By the way Damien just won Nationals in Debate!!!! Pretty amazing seeing as they never recruit, take whoever walks in the door and beat a bucket full of some of the most exclusive schools in the nation...read BLUE BLOOD RICH!!

Congratualtions to Coach Chuck Ballingall...easily the best Coach/Mentor in the Nation!!!!!!!!

Don said:

Good to hear they plan a new name for the Miramonte/San Antonio League. That hybrid name would be as popular as New Coke, and now Dan, who tracks well on these things is in too.


So how about some suggestions to help the Principals out. Clearly creativity isn't part of their skill set. Can't use my newly coined League name, MiraSan . . . sounds too much like the name of a laundry detergent from a Puerto Nuevo discount store.


How about Miratonio . . . nah, that sounds like one of the cast members of Dancing with the Stars . . . maybe the Santa Mira . . . wait, wasn't that the town from Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Dude. Montonio? TonioM?

Dan Author Profile Page said:

Question,
Thats a good point, right now the Sierra is in the Central division, so unless CIF decides to drop the Sierra into the Southeast division, it will be a harsh reality in the playoffs for the new teams in the Sierra league. The Sierra league posters who in the past would try to stress the difference of caliber between the Central and the SGV divisions will most likely be vindicated as Charter Oak & South Hills get a taste of D2 caliber playoffs, I can see a lot of I told you so's coming their way.

FBFan said:

On top of the new Mira Tonio (or whatever we wanna call it) league being well balanced and competetive, it is also like a mini ivy league of the SGV. Those schools have some pretty good academic programs as far as I know. Walnut and Diamond Bar are at least one of the top schools in the entire country I think.

About Time said:

Well Randy all that talk is finally going to stop and things will be settled on teh field...for better or worst!

Diamond Bar vs Diamond Ranch vs. Walnut vs Los Altos vs Bonita vs Rowland vs West Covina

That's were DB belongs. This league should be very interesting to watch.

Glendora might believe they got screwed ...and they did...but what do you expect. They have a basketball coach who doesn't hand out an MVP award. A football coach who does it with home grown players and plays out of the SGV and by all accounts Glendora has one of the finest group of coaches of the field. That's what happens when you play by the rules and just compete with what you got...you get screwed in the end!

Wow I would have loved to see how Le duc and Principal Bruce handled being handed over to the IE! What a joke that is....if ANYTHING.....Chino Hills belongs in the IE.

But done is done and Damien walks away with the best deal in town ! Well it does seem odd though that essentially is Big Lou, Bogan and Gano ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

CARZY TIMING FOR SURE!!!

Dan Author Profile Page said:


I feel bad for Glendora, they would be a natural fit for the Sierra and Chino Hills would have fit well in the Baseline. The games between Glendora, Charter Oak , Damien, & South Hills each year would have been great.
I'm also sad to see the South Hill's vs West Co. rivalry break up, being located on the same street and with so many of the players knowing each other it was a natural rivalry, especially
since these two teams were looking to be so close in caliber to each other for the next few seasons.
I like the competitive level of the new Miramonte/San Antonio league, there should be some great match ups in this new league, D.Ranch is up & coming and is a decent replacement competitive wise for South Hills, it will be fun to watch them go against West Co, I also like Bonita in there too, they are well coached and year in & year out seem play above their level. Rowland had some good lower level teams these past couple of years, so we'll see how that translates at the varsity level, I'm hopeing Los Altos has too much tradition to stay down where their at, if they ever get back to their old form that would enhance this league that much more. I agree with whoever brought up the great potential matchups between West Co, D Ranch, Rowland, & Bonita.
I'm glad for Nogales, maybe they can win some games at this level and in turn attract more of their kids into their program.
Whats with this politically correct name of the Miramonte/San Antonio league, why not come up with a new name altogether, or maybe combine the two names [San Monte, Miratonio], this new name is just to long of a word.

justforG said:

People have such short memmory. Glendora was baseline for 20+ years before the 6 year stint in the Sierra. Yes i think the 909 has some big dogs. But Pasqy, LeDuc, Henley, they can handle it. The Glendora-Claremont games can be big again. The last couple years Upland has been good for Glendora. The enrollement issue kind of screws um, but thats life.


Damien, Chino Hills....Wow they are going to rock everyone's world. Ayala will still win wreslting, but Football, Baseball, Basketball. Big 3, the other guys don't stand a chance.

I dont love it, but none of us had a vote, SOOO get used to it and lets predict some good matchups.

Prep Fan Author Profile Page said:

Remember, these leagues do not start until the 2010-2011 season so nothing changes for next year. There will also be CIF division realignments for the 2010-2011 season so there are no guarantees the divisions these leagues are in now will be the same when this new alignment kicks in.

Also, the final league name will not be Miramonte/ San Antonio, that is just a working title as they are moving things around, they will pick either one or a new name when the league actually forms. Remember, there is still an appeal process to be had before this is finalized.

SHFan said:

LAFan#2, I would imagine so. SH baseball team currently shares bus with softball team for any league games, so I imagine any changes are across the board. Unless this re-leaguing is only for football? Fred?? Pete??

Don said:

I don't think there are any changes in the Divisions: Baseline, Mt. Baldy, and Sierra are Central (V), Miramonte-San Antonio is still Southeast (VII), Montview and Valle Vista are in Mid-Valley (XI)


And BTW, I kinda like the MiraSan League's new setup. It's the name I find brutal.

Who's in what division? said:

Ok, can't cry about the releaguing, what is already done, is most likely done.

Here's my question, which leagues are in what division?

LAFan#2 said:

will this be for all sports?

question said:

My bad, totally screwed that up. I meant to say in the Central, not Inland.

question said:

I might be mistaken, but isn't the Sierra league in the Inland Division? ANd wouldn't that place South Hills and Charter Oak in the Central Division (D5) and out of the Southeast (D7) where Diamond Ranch will stay?


sgvpride said:

I think you can make an arguement that every league with the exception of the sun belt(montview) and the WAC(valle vista) is going be a real hard fought battle. Most of the leagues are a 7 team league. Now that you really don't need to finish in the top 4 I wonder how that is going to shake up the playoff race.

FBFan said:

The releaguing is based on competetive equity and enrollment more than geography. I would have to say that in terms of competetive equity, they almost nailed it on the head.

The Sierra League is extremely competetive, but Claremont is obviously the poor sister there. But what do you expect, they received relief from the #1 league to the #2 league. That makes sense to me.

Charter Oak should be in the Sierra. Come on, when you are in consideration for a state championship, you need to move up. The Miramonte was simply not cutting it for them anymore. I will say the same thing for South Hills. They have consistently dominated the San Antonio despite their upset loss to West Covina.

And as far as Don's comment about the new Miramonte/San Antonio league being brutal, yes it is. But it is the #3 league in this area behind Baseline and Sierra. I would be willing to bet that half of those schools are glad they are not in the Sierra League. I think the Miramonte/Sierra is the most balanced league with Diamond Ranch being at the top (but not way at the top) and Los Altos and Walnut being towards the bottom (but not way at the bottom). Remember folks, Los Altos does have a ton of tradition.

Bob Ramsey Author Profile Page said:

I'm not sure why GHS asked for relief - we've been in contention for league titles in most of our sports this year.

But this alignment makes no geographical/conceptual sense. Glendora is in the SGV, not the 909, and we're going to be on the bus a lot.

Moreover, GHS will be (using track divisions, which are enrollment based) the only DII school in a solidly DI league, and Chino Hills will be the only DI school left in the Sierra League.

A more sensible alignment would be to swap Chino Hills and Glendora. And if leaving Ayala isolated would be a problem, move them to the Mt. Baldy league where they could be the big dog, and move Diamond Ranch into the Sierra.

That final alignment would be geographically compact and competitive.

Don said:

The Principals get a C for the project as some of the work clearly needs more attention to detail.


I guess the Valle Vista and the Montview look as good as possible but couldn't you have traded Duarte for a school to be named later to a League on the other side of the 605 ? I also see mucho hand wringing for years to come in the Mt. Baldy among the haves and have nots.

And who did Glendora piss off? Kelly forget the snacks from The Donut Man? Hard to see them in the Baseline; the Damien-St. Lucy's crew would have been a better match, spreading the travel costs, etc.. Other than that, the new Sierra League is OK. What's not OK is that Miramonte/San Antonio League name. Brutal.

Unlike Fred, I'm OK with leaving D Ranch behind, especially if they are playing D Bar every year. C O and South Hills should have moved up long ago, the Panthers are just getting started.

DRanchhhh said:

Are you serious?? WoW-zeRz. This means we will have to schedule power houses in the pre season. Sucks not being able to get that W in Football over CO but over in all we will see them again in the finals. ALSO THERE WILL BE NO MORE EXCUSES DB. NONE.

FBFan said:

Just some random thoughts here:

Claremont and Diamond Ranch should be switched, but consider this guys: Diamond Ranch does have great athletes and have raised the bar the last few years, but they are not exactly hanging up CIF banners on a consistent basis.

Charter Oak and South Hills deserve where to be where they are and Glendora probably should have been in the Sierra even though they asked for relief. They are not hurting nearly as bad as Claremont. Switch Glendora and Damien.

I do like the mixing and matching of the San Antonio and Miramonte leagues. I can see some great games going on there. Diamond Ranch, West Covina, Rowland and Bonita have the potential to have some really great battles with one another. And to top it off DR and DB have the natural rivalry.

San Dimas and Northview should move up. They consistently dominate the Valle Vista in most major sports.

GHigh said:

Thanks, Good, I guess?
Ganesha is looking forward to the Montview. Those schools are similar in size and demographics so we should have a more even playing field. In my opinion the leagues look pretty good, but I've seen better proposals from bloggers that principals simply wouldn't go for.
Definitely doesn't seem like Claremont got much relief?

Good said:

What's done is done gentlemen. There are some winners and losers. Now it is time for some coaches to be prepared to play some real football every week. Can't play the Montview teams forever. Good luck Ganesha, you got what you wanted, now show you can play some ball against the bottom feeders.

who hit the panic button? said:

Why does DRanch keep getting thrown in with the mid range teams? We should be bumped up not down. How does that make us better? League play with Nogales, DB, and Los Altos doesn't jive with the non-league schedule we have never backed down from! Who is calling the shots? Who has lost their nerve? We should have gone up into the Sierra League. This is a set back. Plain and simple.

Basic Author Profile Page said:

How about moving Glendora AND D-Ranh to the Sierra league, and then moving Claremont to the Miramonte???

loveshsfootball Author Profile Page said:

Fred, why did they make itmiramonte/san antonio leahue?-why not just call it one or the other? -and it is ridiculous to break up Los Altos and Wilson - they should always be in the sam league. i hope they will at least play in the preseason. but i really dont understand having two league names -please explain.

sgvfootballfan said:

Fred
Diamond Ranch is geographically more in the sgv than Glendora.Good luck Glendora your going to need it!! I'm not happy with this realignment.I think DR should be in sierra league.The only thing that I'm happy about is that we will start a cross town rivalry game with DB and that will be fun.

HSFBFan said:

I was very concerned with the re-leaguing scenarios prior to the meeting last night. Even though Glendora got shipped off to the Baseline, which I think did not make sense, the other leagues look good and competitive. I am surprised it came out as good as it did.
If I was a Glendora fan I would not be happy but they are in a competitive league and except for the travel east the competition will be solid.
I did not like the original Miramonte/San Antonio league lineup but the end result will be interesting and competitive for all of the local talent.
This should make the "pop warner/jaa" recruiting even more interesting with all of the schools located so close.
