Football Super 31: Bishop Amat rises to the top; Rowland, Walnut sneak up to No. 3 and 4

| | Comments (107) |


Tribune Top Ten
1. Bishop Amat (3-0)
- With St. Bonaventure next, the stay at the top could be brief. But lets be honest, this is where the Lancers belong. Are they really better than Charter Oak? That's still up for debate.
2. Charter Oak (3-1) - It's a good thing Friday's loss to Rancho Cucamonga wasn't for a championship, because the Chargers would have been sick to their stomach for giving up the momentum-swinging plays. The true measure is how they bounce back at home against Damien.
3. Rowland (3-0) - The Raiders are a lock at No. 3 at least the next two weeks with Covina and El Monte to follow before the league opener against Walnut.
4. Walnut (3-0) - Some aren't convinced the Mustangs are this good after squeaking past Covina, 31-27. But a bigger test looms on Friday against 2-1 Arroyo, hungry after a Claremont defeat.
5. West Covina (1-3) - Okay, so you think I'm crazy for leaping the Bulldogs from No. 14 to this spot. That's what happens when you lose to teams like Bishop Amat, Venice, then beat a Glendora. The schedule matters.
6. Glendora (1-2) - The Tartans are not as powerful as we thought they were when the season started, but there is still a long way to go. If they get their offense rolling, they should be fine.
7. San Dimas (3-1) - The Saints took one on the chin against Monrovia, and believe me, if they see the Cats again in the playoffs, they will be better for it.
8. South Hills (1-2) - I'm reluctant to drop teams too far when the losses are against La Habra, a defending champion, and Tesoro, a Pac-5 finalist. Injuries are still a problem, but the schedule isn't for the next two weeks against Northview and Rosemead.
9. Arroyo (2-1) -- How do the Knights jump into the top ten after a loss? Because they should have been here in the first place, and can prove they deserve it with a win over Walnut.
10. Baldwin Park (3-1) -- A tough 9-3 loss to Bonita, but they were in it all the way. So how come the Bearcats aren't ranked ahead of these guys, because they have three losses and the win over BP wasn't convincing enough to warrant it.

The Middle 10
11. Bonita (1-2), 12. Damien (1-3), 13. Workman (3-1), 14. Diamond Ranch (1-3), 15. La Puente (3-1), 16. Azusa (3-1), 17. Wilson (2-1), 18. Gladstone (3-1), 19. Bassett (3-1), 20. Los Altos (1-2).
On the bottom looking up
21. Sierra Vista (2-1), 22. Covina (1-2), 23. Rosemead (1-2), 24. Nogales (2-2), 25. Diamond Bar (0-3), 26. Northview (0-3), 27. El Monte (0-3), 28. South El Monte (0-4), 29. Mountain View (0-4), 30. Ganesha (0-4), 31. Duarte (0-4)

You call me racist??? Go back and read the Saturday Morning QB postings from your people - like Aaron, No bull, and JCAZ and Hater METH - All these guys are talking about is feeding us Crow Tacos!!! From where? Go back and read 'em. Your taco trucks, your fine restaurants (err - taco stands on Valley)!!! That's your people lowering themselves down to my level. How about that??? I told you that your sewer rats were closer that you think! Tisk . . . Tisk! Better throw back that Michelada real quick like, so you can make it to the 11 o'clock mass and get rid of your sins!


GET IT STRAIGHT - THIS WAS A ST. BONNIE LOSS!!! NOT A Tameles WIN!!!


We'll make it right for you and the SGV on Friday. We'll give you the beat down that St. Bonnie should of given you!

Bet I won't hear from you again. Oh by the way the Tacos were good and I did not tip your wife and daughter at Ms. Kittys cause they stunk like hillbillies!

We are 4-0 and Beat the Best. So your 3-7 prediction is out the window my rat friend.

Hey Amat 73 years old!

kh,
If it works out like you say I see no problem with CO being number 1. But here's a spin for you what if we only lose by 1 point and in no way shape or form am I saying we are going to lose tonight because AMAT WILL WIN TONIGHT and seeing as CO lost by a greater margin and then they only beat Damien by 1 point and we beat them by a greater margin should we still hold the number 1 ranking based on who we each lost or beat and the difference in both scores .

just sayin' said:

k.h. - according to your logic if Amat loses CO should go back on top because they "didn't get credit for losing to the CIF champs". If Amat loses - they'll have lost to the TWO-time defending STATE CHAMPIONS, and have won 8 of the last 10 CIF CHAMPIONSHIPS . How can a team drop after losing to them?

k.h said:

fred .
good point about wc.
baldwin park was lucky to be with in 6 points.
i really think you should look at who the ranked teams played and who there going to play each week.so if b-amat loses tonight and c.o. wins .c.o go right back on top..you guys didnt
give c.o any credit for losing to a c.i.f. champs.last year. c.o.still in my eyes should be #1. The guys like you and joe amat,and amat 73 that love your old school,and dont get me wrong ,thats pride baby,,its for life ,,i love t.c. i bleed green and gold,but facts are facts and c.o has earned #1 ranking and inless you win tonight and they lose,,put them back on top .thats it

Out of sheer amusement I did google Perez Hilton and Franky you need to stay away from those teen websites! Maybe we should rename you Franky Hilton!! Also just because you do have 4 kids under the age of 21 does not mean you are in touch with todays youth. Many parents think they are in touch with them but many are not. Also in regards to that batman reference I consider myself a pretty cerebral person but your back and forth made zero sense. And you are right when you say just because I don't understand what you are saying makes it wrong however can someone else translate that?

In regards to your comment of " I got what I wanted" I am not sure what you meant by that but as I have stated many times this blog is the acronym FEPO. I am sure you can guess what this means.

All these bloggers from the past means we are only missing one more. Where is brokeback mountain sitting in his living room drinking a sifter of his favorite devil juice with his dog by his side? I am sure his appearance will be soon.

Good football games this weekend. I encourage everyone out there to go check out some local teams and support the local schools. I will be curious to see how Amat does and St Bonnie's as well as CO looking to rebound against Damien.

mixup said:

you must have Amat confused with some other school that you support. They don't schedule the likes of Duarter or Workman and are used to playing schools like this. That description of St Bonaventure sounds like how they were describing LB Poly a year ago. SB snuck by Crespi by only a point - so it's not like they're invincible.

Hey, Yazi "Cookie." Did your boyfriend (err your preacher) tell you what that means yet? Come on alterboy! Bring it!!!


"The Lancers host the Seraphs, ranked No. 3 in the state by MaxPreps and CalHiSports, and No. 17 in the country by USA Today, at 7:30 tonight at Kiefer Stadium.

The Lancers are 24-point underdogs on Calpreps, and face a team that has won eight section titles in the last 10 years, and is 69-5 since 2004."

This ain't Duarte or Workman, boys!


WOW!!! 69-5 SINCE 2004, BOYS!!! How many did Bishop La Knifers lose last year???

We play Baseball in the SGV...

Find me another area that plays better Baseball than us!

This is a blog in the SGV, if you don't live or like the SGV go play in the OC Register or LA Times. Right now maybe a lil down time in the SGV for Football but it comes and goes just look at Amat in the early 90's or Wilson in the late 90's or CO, LA in the early 2000's but get off of St. Bonnies jock already because you have been swinging on there pubes all week and we might be up and down in Football from year to year but you can put the house on it that we can hang every year in Baseball.

The time is near for the old vampire bat anonypuss to come out of his cave. Notice the fool doesn't blog during the day. Only at night when the traffic on the freeway off ramps has dyed down and he closes shop and his his wife is taking her turns on Miss Kittys stage. Hey anonypuss what's on the menu tonight . More tip money tacos . Do they know at Miss Kittys that you run an extension cord from the bar to power your lap top or do they deduct that from the wife's paycheck.

Man you are amazing!!! we are all on here talking about 15,16,17 & 18 yr old boys having the time of there life and creating memories that they will have for the rest of there lives. I know from my personal experience I love to talk to my old teamates about when we use to play or old rivals that we use to go against high school football will live with you forever. There is NO reason for you to come on here and try to put down other people or try to piss on our local kids trying there butts off. We can all tell that 1st you have NO kids, 2nd you probably have no wife/girlfriend, 3rd you did not play hs football or you were a joke doing so. So please do us all a favor go jump into your 95 honda civic and wait for the next Star Wars or Lord of The Rings movie to come out.

OK Kimba I will let you play with the little field mice and you can think your king of jungle. Just remember who taught you how to hunt and survive while you were growing up . So in essence I will let it rest while you mature and see the errors of your youthful ways.

If i go to the game, i wont get there till after halftime. Make it easy on me, sit on the east end of the visitors side. I got pop warner till 745pm, 20 min drive time from whittier. Puts me there after halftime. I was gonna go towards Cerritos for the La Habra-Los AL game. Lotsa friends kids playing in that one. Why dont we try that one instead? I need an answer before 130pm.

The gangs all here said:


And now the gangs all here!

King Stud, wow the circle is complete...getting props form Joe Amat and Amat 73 all in the same thread...impressive!

As usual King Stud...hate to tell you but once again...you're wrong...like I said I'm sorry.

Google Perez Hilton...as far as being in tune with the young kids...again....wrong....four kids ages all under 21...kind of forces you to stay current...at least as much as I can digest while passing hru the living room or lefying throw a People/US magazine.


Like I said before...juts because you don't know/understand/like/accept/comprehend what I'm saying doesn't make it wrong/insulting/confrontational/or disgraceful...lol

Perez Hilton is the perfect analogy for the "new version" tye bloggers... I like wikepedia's take on Perez Hilton...

"his unapologetic "desire" to be a part of and mingle with the celebrity culture"...now substitute clebrity culture for Bishop Amat Family and the "new versionists" fit the bill to the tee!

So much for AssUming King Stud....Let me guess...if I'm correct seeing as King Stud has posted....guess who's coming to dinner....dolars to donuts...we'll be hearing from "another" long lost blogger who just like Superman and Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne and Batman...will suddenly appear...lmao

and a one and a two...poof!...check the blog...it already happened this morning.....nice.

See you at the game tonight.

Here's a tip....what happens when Bruce Wayne sees Batman? Her's another tip....what happens when Clark Kent sees Superman? Here's a better hint....if you're at a football game with Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent and Superman and Batman make a public appearance and every one starts yelling ..."HEY LOOK THERE GOES SUPERMAN AND BATMAN"...what willMr. Clark and Mr. Kent be thinking?

Figure that out yet? And that's how you set a trap! Wait for their reaction.

Best of luck King Stud you got what you always wanted....wait...isn't that what I've been saying all along?

Great "football" take on Bishp Amat's team...my guess is you've been to some of their games...I remmebre you mentioning that once before ...or was that Clark Kent? I get you guys so cofused.

K Stud,
Very well put and your take on our team is pretty close to my thinking. Yes we are winning but still a lot of mistakes for the caliber of teams we will face in league and that's where it counts.We are young and this Friday is our first real test in preparing for league. No knock on who we have played but St Bonnies, man that's a test of what needs to be done. As for old pantherpuss , anonyass , or Miss Kitty's parking lot attendant what else can he do but come on here and knock AMAT . You see this is the poster boy for the jealous ,envious , wannabe LANCER who can only stand at the fence and dream but can never ever get in or be a part of something great . Yes anonyass GREAT. Can he come on here and brag about the great things happening at the d ranch . Hell no because nothing is happening except losing and what coward like he is will come on here to defend his school. Just once I would like to see this fool write something of substance or a contribution to the blog that's worthy on football. We already know he is an idiot but let's see if he can get AMAT out of his head for a minute and break it down to us the problems at dr and why they keep losing. Come on pantherpuss it's on you now and don't come back with you same old fat old farts bean and burrito eating nation bs. Let's see if you are a man or a puss. My money is on the puss.

Astonished said:

Why is Fred even letting this anonymous guy into this thread? It becomes clear ignorance propels the core of his argument. Its like saying Azusa, and not to pick on Azusa for any reason, is a good team. He would probably say its not because the school colors arent exactly intimidating, baby blue. WHO CARES! That blogger brings in information irrelevant to the reason this blog is for, to talk about prep sports and rankings.

The blogger has no class and rather should be ignored rather than fueled. Thats his/her game, attention. America was built on tolerance, you, good fellow blogger, are precivil rights movement. Rascism and prejudice is a thing of the past. Grow up and mature.

Azusa, Bishop. You guys are doing well as football programs. Good luck in the rest of your seasons.

hey aztec pride,
whats up man..ya im not gonna waste my time and address that other guy he has no class. Real men don't talk sh*t.

But as for our league the Monteview. Ya man i am pumped..i am proud to see all the teams and coaches step up this season and win some games. I think all the boys in the league were tired of hearing that they couldn't play ball. But ya its gonna be tough. WE (Workman) lost a tough one..we had touchdowns called back on phantom calls and had a couple easy pats missed along with the game tying pat were we went for 2 and the win instead of the tie..So were getting ready for a tough league battle. With what Azusa and LP are bringing to the table and cant look past happyRock. So i think this will be one of those seasons were teams will be knocking each other off left and right, and have a tough time getting play off postions. Well good luck to you guys this week well be there cause we play Bassett the week after. And good luck to your boy hope he is doing well at Citrus.Good luck and ill see ya around Pride..

peace..oh ya..Lobo Pride..haha

I don't think an Amat thread would be complete with me tossing in a few comments.

Amat is clearly the best team in the SGV but are you Amat fans happy with the teams first three games? Yes they are 3-0 but I don't think they are playing the way they are going to need to play to compete in league or even make the playoffs. The acid test is coming so will we find about after this weeks game how real the Lancers are.

Well Franky my boy as usual I must correct you on a few things. First off I have zero connection to Anon and we are not the same person but I must admit I do get a small chuckle out of some of his comments but I do take them with a grain of salt. I think he is copying my 3-7 comments from last year. I have been known to " stir the hornets nest" from time to time so I get where he is coming from. I also assume you meant Paris Hilton but since you aren't connected with the youth I will let that one slide!

A compliment from Joe Amat? I am flabbergasted. Yes Joe I am having a lot more fun on the blogs even thought I don't post much anymore. Hell I always thought I was the voice of reason most of the time!! I still enjoy reading the comments and do so when I have the time and love posting comments on controversial topics after all that's what makes for good reading on the blog. It also is what fires up the blog and gets every going. I think Anon has been taking notes!

NEW AND IMPROVED OR SAME OLD SAME OLD said:

I hate to tell you Joe but this year's version is the same guy...same M.O. just watch this year's version will follow the same old pattern.

1) Drive "some one" nuts and make them so angry they can't recognize themselves. I think he's working on Aztec Pride.

2) All "he" ever wanted was "your" Amat attention....kind of like Perez Hilton...he bags and dishes on all the stars until the stars wise up and throw him a bone, take pictures with him and call him their "friend"....sound familiar?

Next thing you'll know this year's version will have a new "nick name"...one that Amat bloggers "gave" him. The ultimate sign of juvenile acceptance....a "nick name"....LOL

In the end that's all he wants and why he picks on "Amat"....see how often you guys respond to him....seriously....this is about as entertaining and seeing Burat 12 times in a row.....WITH OUT SLEEP!!!..."he's" a one trick pony Joe...notice no Borat 2 ! See what was it BRUNO 1 instead of Borat 2...catching on?

Come on Joe, Amat 73...does the idiot really deserve any of your time...especially when you're about to play St. Bonnie's in hopes of shocking everyone with a win?

Joe..after the 1-9, 3-7 season didn't materialize didn't "last year's version" become a "reasoned accepted" regular????...so where is "HE" now????

Every one has tendencies Joe...everyone.

BTW...can't wait for the next "version" once Baseball season starts...especially if WG get approved to play. Amat has had two baseball "versions" right?

This guy is about as entertaining as turf toe.

AZTEC PRIDE,

Hey, take some pride in a couple of ours that were raised in the city that has everything from A to Z in the USA. Jon Cornell is starting at Ole Miss and Brandon Bennett is backing up the linemen at UCLA. Both Azusa products.

We should be the San Gabriel Valleys team of choice. After supporting your own school - we probably have someone from every city. So everybody's 2 favorite teams should be their own .... and Bishop Amat.

AnonymASS - the cut & paste queen. come up with some new material, a real take, an original though. Keep trying... better men (or women?) than you have tried and failed.

Keep it up with the SGV/Pac5 poll comparisons. It only proves the point we've been stating for years. The Pac5 is way different than your little fishbowl of the SGV. We don't belong in the Pac5 top ten.... yet!

So thanks for helping out. Keep banging that drum for us would ya.

Thanks Joe, and I hope Mr. ANUS crawls back underneath his rock he came out of. You know Joe, I was really getting tired of his racial overtones and it was really getting under my skin!

Joe I can't understand why they're always trying to bring down AMAT? and I guess when your the elite school, people will always try to knock you down. Joe i've been to track meets, baseball and have always heard about Amat football and they have made a believer out of me. Bottom line this school has the best athletes and sports programs in the SGV. I've seen Sheldon Price, run at a track meet and the entire team was just above everybody else at that meet.

I was watching the UCLA game last week and who do I see playing at corner, SHELDON PRICE a freshmen who just graduated from AMAT. Now Joe, what other school can say that this year.

CUTTING AND PASTING JOE??? TISK . . . TISK!!!

How they hanging tonight? You know what George Lopez said about you old farts over 48 years old? You member! Did you have to hold them like a little bird when you sat on your toilet (Err - Out House, sorry! I didn't mean toilet. Sorry!) . . .for the tenth time today? How's the prune juice this evening you old, gelatinous, excuse of a Flat Lander? Or, should I call you FAT Lander??? How do you like it? And, don't say laying down! That's between you and Sherman Oaks Notre Dame!!!

Hey JACZ, when Old Old Old Joe Amat finally gets out of his La Puente Out House, he told all of us in San Gabriel Valley that he'll be waiting for you and father what's his name at the bottom - you know where that is. Of course you do! Its at the intersection of 3 and 7. That's 3 wins and SEVEN LOSSES, boys! You've been there before, haven't you? Oh yeah! That's right . . . as recent as 2007!!! :-( Right around the corner of 13 and 11 (from 2007 til now)!

Does the word Mediocre Football mean anything to you Loyola Wanabees? Huh? What did you say Loyola Wanabee?

Hey OLD Joe, go to bed. You might miss your nightly dream of Lola La Trailera! :-) Hah!!! Now that's funny!!! :-) That's right! Old man Joe Amat likes his spanish novelas. What of it??? :-) Hah!!!

No pressure, boys! Its just St. Bonnie. Right? You are Numero Uno, this week! We'll be waiting for you at Ganesha!!! Don't forget your rosarie! You know . . . For protection from the hood!

Good nite now! Don't forget to tip your wiatress, and old man Joe Amat laying down (during and after the SOND loss) over there behind the juke box! He needs it for the prune juice, metamucil, denture cream, and Out House paper . . .!

Hey, Joe Amat!

STAY FOCUSED BOAY! WORK WITH ME LITTLE CHICKEN HAWK!

BISHOP TAMALES is Numero Unot in the San Gabriel Valley, but NOT even in the TOP 10 of their mighty Pac 5 division! Isn't that a travesty??? NOBODY HAS ANSWERED MY QUESTION!

Not even in the top 10 in your division, Bishop Tamales? You're being robbed! If this is the SEC like the other num nut suggested, are you guys being told you're Vandy??? :-) Hah!!! NOBODY HAS ANSWERED THIS QUESTION EITHER!

What good is it to play? You might as well pick up your ball and go home! Do it before St. Bonnie gets here! Hurry!!!

Unless . . .of course . . . CIF knows that you're going to get the A*s Kicking of the season in Southern California! What do you think?

3 and 7 Bishop Tamales! Just like in 2007!!!

Oh . . .Oh . . . Wait - I almost forgot!!! "You people are all burritto eating, beer-drinking, fat tatooed women, fat, pinky ring/wife-beater wearing, barrio boys from Amat Nation" Joe's words, NOT "mines" as you people say.

I love it when when guys (gals?) like AnonymASS come in here and spew some of this kind of garbage.

If you remember a year ago we had bloggers like amnot, werdup, and the fortune cookie guy coming in here with much of the same. We were living in the past, over the hill, burritto eating, beer-drinking, tatooed women, fat, pinky ring/wife-beater wearing, barrio boys from Amat Nation and predicting 0-10.... then 1-9... 3-7... and the posts began to slow - then all but disappear. Even King Stud actually chose a name to stick with and would come in with a legitimate takes now and then. Betcha he'd even tell you he has more fun these days. I even agree with him now & then. There are times he's even the voice of reason on some topics. THought the world was off it's axis!

So unfortunately, AnonymASS isn't even all that original or humorous. Been there done that - moved on.

Some may not remember but two years ago most bloggers (sometimes led by yours truly) were able to come on here and actually have some football takes that were pretty insulting to the Amat program. They could slam coaching, lack of preparation, strategy, fundamentals, disorganization, repeated mistakes, lack of team and program unity, no discipline or experienced leadership, broken team spirit and on and on. And they'd have a point from time to time.

FIRST of all let me start by saying i was only refering to this season..And were the rankings are at week 4. SECOND Im not a Bishop Amat fan "NUM NUTS" "wow your really showing your age and intellect there", but that is besides the point. I was just making comparisons to Fred's Rankings and a BCS ranking system. It's obvious that you did not read the post. The point was to show that the rankings are for talk and really mean nothing. But you seem to miss that point. I never said anything bout Bishop being 3-7 or there previous record. I just stated that their 3-0 in the sgv with the best record so far and the texas BIG 12 comparison was just showing what maybe the miramonte is compariable too. I was just saying that some teams rankings like Workman over Wilson or Los Altos. Are because they won there games and beat who was in front of them. This had nothing to do with who one rings then or now. Your a fool for making this a attack on Bishop. You obviously have a problem with Amat. And you need to read post in there full context so that you don't make foolish post like you just did. I never insulted the SGV. I made comparisons. The only insult is the way you handle your self on a blog. If you wanna "run-on" a team call up Jim ROme or someone. But leave your personal beefs for Amat out my way. READ NEXT TIME!! before you make a joke out of your self..

When was the last time Florida went 3 and 7? Cus that's where you're going!

The best team in the SVG? Give me a break. 13 and 11 over the past 2 and half years is a comparison to Florida? Florida gets rings for winning championships. Where are your's this decade? I know Florida. I played against Florida! You are an insult to the Gators!

Even Texas "from the Big 12 ..or our Miramonte" has more rings this decade than you do! ONE! Follow the comparison??? Num Nuts! You are insulting to the rest of the San Gabriel Valley!

SAL said:

Hahahahaha.. joe you're a funny man. Walnut wouldn't be able to stick up with rowland. If I remember the last 4 years rowland has had blowout victories all 4 years. It was 35-0, 52-20, 35-0, 56-14. Its hard to believe that rowland is 42 points worse then they were last year. Especially when it was 56-7 when they took stansell and ball out mid-way through the 3rd quarter. Walnut always has a good start. But let's be real. At the end of the season its going to be West co rowland and south hills in the playoffs and walnut the outside man looking in. This is me being nice. You'll all see tomorrow night when Rowland smashes covina, the team that walnut just barely beat, by 40 at covina district field. I MOSdef believe that Charter Oak should be number 1 in the division though. Followed by Rowland because last year I was at that game and it was one hell of a game til rowland shot themselves in the foot at the end.

You call us "flatlanders", does that make you a "hillbilly"? We all know about those people don't we? Furniture on the porch, half moon on that little shack in back of the house, and you're going to be a father, a brother, and an uncle all at the same time. That inbreeding produces gems like yourself.

SGV For 30 Years said:

Well that BCS comparison was pretty good. The only difference is that as the season goes on we know that Freds rankings really mean nothing. I don't know how much time he has spent on the practice fields of these teams he is ranking. I wish I had the time to do that. Then I could give you an accurate pre-season ranking. The thing I love about high school football is that most of these teams play eachother. That will clear up everything. So when it's all said and done. Lets see how Fread's pre-season rankings stand up.

clearly if you have been in Walnut for as long as you say you have, then obviously you would know exactly what I know...which is clear by your comments being similar to mine.

I'm not the be all end all of Walnut information. I have been around Walnut football and their other sports since the late 80's. I have met and gotten to know all of the Walnut football coaches past and present and it is interesting to get their takes on the current status of the team. I also get information from current & former players.

With all that said, your assessment of the current squad is dead on with what I have been saying.

I'm going to guess that we are speaking about the comments from "Can this be that difficult?" Am I right here? I only ask because it makes it difficult for most people to follow comments in here when allot of folks do "drive by's" you know.

Anyway, if we are speaking of the same comments, then this is where I disagree (surprise, surprise) with you. I for one do believe that Amat, as of right now anyway, is a far better team than Rancho Cu-cu-moung-ga, and keep this one simple thing in mind here, Amat will play, and Beat Loyola this year as well !

Yup, I bet you though that only the Guru (Buru) was able to make controversial predictions in here eh?

cheers !!

The REAL WALNUT INSIDER said:

To Walnut Insider!

I do not believe you have been around football as long as I have. I was born and raised in Walnut way before Walnut was even created. I know Walnut Football!

I agree Walnut is not playing the greatest football and should not be ranked #2 in CIF or #4 in the valley.

The OL and DL are not as good as last years line and need a lot of work! They are neither big or as strong as last years line.

For the personnel the d-line has they are doing well, but not spectacular. The o-line is inconsistent. They only have any type of running game because kids like king are running as tough as he does, which makes the running game sufficient. The offense is ok but not spectacular.

Special teams has been the big surprise, the saved Walnut in the Covina game and Diamond Bar game. Walnut would not have nearly as many points as they do if their special teams nor defense didnt give them good feel position.

The secondary is not strong that includes the lb's they give up to many plays, and those plays
are TD's.

Against the run they are more than adequate. But they have to improve their pass defense. Other than that, they have been pretty good.

The offense is just loaded with players, but again the line is not as good as it should be.

We'll see what they do against Arroyo. Last year Arroyo was the only pre-season team to give them fits and this year they are better.

Jcaz, not sure what you're talking about...I wrote the Jack Damiels No. 7 Rankings

Dubb3trathree Author Profile Page said:

Wow...so everyone wants to complain about Fred's rankings..but what everyone seems not able to grasp is that Fred ranks the same way college does..just in our own sgv way..look at it this way..
Amat is number one..period there the best in the sgv and there record proves it. They play the hardest teams and sch. WELL their our SGV Florida..if you wanna look at it that way..Charter Oak is 2.well they would be Texas from the Big 12 ..or ouR Miramonte. Then you got Walnut ,Rowland and West Covina..Which we could call the Pac 10.. From the San Antonio..SO ya there are Rankings,,just like in college..so when you people say..how can Bassett be ranked ahead of Los Altos..you call it a joke..Or Workman and Arroyo ranked above..the Covina's and Wilson. Then your basically saying that teams Like Utah or Boise st. Dont deserve their rankings in college..They go out and beat the teams in front of them. Do they play in the SEC no.Not even the Big 10..But they play there schdule and win their games so they deserve their ranking. Now if Fred declared an SGV mythical National champ. Maybe none of these teams would come close in the end due to who they played early on. But give the teams their Due for going out and Winning games that are in front of them. And if you dont like the Rankings well the honest truth is,,well maybe your team just should have won their games and there wouldn't be so many haters..SO to all the schools ranked up there for the first time and a long time. Enjoy it..feel good about your hard work. And continue Winning..

True said:

BASSETT

I agree, Fred wants to please poor Bassett. Sure they're having a nice season, beating on lesser competition but to have them ahead of a team like Covina which lost to your number 4 in the last minute is a joke. Covina would be 4-0 if they had Bassett's schedule.

Can this be that difficult? …
Hey my friend, can you hold off a bit before you say mat should be ranked somewhere other than where they are. I mean, at the very least, let Amat play St. Bonnies first before you bring us down ok. Look my friend, no one in here is expecting an Amat win against this team, but let me ask you a very simple question here. Would it really be a surprise or even a shock to you if Amat actually won that game on Friday night? In fact, out of all the area teams in here, who would you most likely say, could ever beat a top (nationally) ranked team other than Amat anyway? Hum...

10/16/09 At St. Paul. They get a tune up with Bosco the week before, then you have to go to their house? :-( Well, so much for a winning season! It was nice. :-)
10/23/09 Alemany. Oh no! You s*ck again!

Now you're at 3 and 4. Four losses and the Tribune might still have you in the top 10 (cus of the Pac 5 thing. You know . . . That pride and honor about playing Pac 5 teams - Remember?), but your League is coming up!

10/30/09 Loyola. Frankly, this is your best chance at a win. No, really! We voted and we decided that you have a chance!
11/06/09 At Crespi. Well, unfortunately we voted on this one also, and guess what? No way Juan, Jose, or whatever you call yourself down in Southern West Covina!
11/13/09 Sherman Oaks Notre Dame!!! Well, what can I say? Just take it like you have for the past 10 years. Laying down! :-) Hah!!!

Thank god this miserable season is over! I just wish someone would respect you for your participation in playing Pac 5 teams! Why are people so mean?

To the Damien poster and Aaron,
Don't hate to much on WC, they have hung well with some very good teams and did this with several key starters out, 4 of the injured were
3 year varsity players, if you count both sides of the ball we had 8 positions missing vs Venice and 6 positions missing vs Amat, don't you think that would affect your teams performance?
Mike Maggiore and his staff have done a great job of patching up this team so we can be competitive. To beat a team like Glendora with the injuries and a back up QB say's a lot for West Covina.
The good news from all this is that these injuries have forced WC to develope several different players, these kids are getting better week by week, they have taken their lumps and have gained valueable game time experience, as we get healthier we can only get better and deeper.

Walnut Insider Author Profile Page said:

wow Walnut #4? & #2 in CIF? that's...interesting. I have maintained that Walnut will make the playoffs and finish 2nd or 3rd. I am not too happy with the defense as of late giving up roughly 21 ppg to teams who have only 2 wins between them. Covina almost stole the game from them last week when they had no business being in it. The secondary is not as strong as I would like it to be and Arroyo will be a good test to see just how good we have become.

Offensively, I am a little disappointed in Rhodes. The kid can hit on defense and has great hands, so why is he so timid going through the hole? He should be a 100 yard a game runner easily. I was looking for a 1-2 combination with King, but that hasn't happened yet. If Cooper can get the ball to Rhodes and Aubrey, then Walnut still has a strong shot.

BTW, I do think both of those rankings are a bit high. And being at Walnut for the last 20+ years I have noticed that the rankings seem to go to the kids' heads a bit more then they did say 15 years ago. Let's hope Walnut realizes they have to actually play the game.

Damien said:

not to beat a dead horse, BUT

Damien loses by less than the opening kickoff return and field goal to the #1 team in the area.

Look back at passing league. Damien's second stringers rolled Walnut, San Dimas, and Rowland on their little wednesday get togethers.

When they play with the little boys, its ugly.
When they play with the big boys, it goes against them.

oh well!

cant wait till league to see how this new staff responds to such a higher level of competition on a weekly basis

AMAT 73 Author Profile Page said:

Fred ,
Just a thought . I am not sure if you have ever posted what variables you use when you are considering the rankings of the local teams. Maybe if you broke it down for the bloggers in order of importance they will get a better idea on why you rank some teams with losing records higher than some with winning records. I can see why some backers would question CO above Rowland and Walnut since they have not lost, not that I agree with them but I can see their point. You do give a little info in your summary after the rank but a true list of the variables might help out and avoid all the posts pertaining to where your head is at concerning football in our valley. Yes you did admit to forgetting Damien ( that's what losing to AMAT does to a team , that's a joke for my friend Sparta no harm meant) in the rankings but I don't think they are to happy with a 12th place ranking either.

Why isn't Monrovia considered on this list? There closer than some, like RM, Arroyo, ect.

Aaron said:

I understand that these also involve power rankings...but WesCo are you serious? I'll take where Bonita is but there are teams with a better win-loss record but also didn't play the same schedule. It's not necessarily where they deserve to be...and I don't mean they deserve to be higher, so many issues on the offensive side of the ball. They show you they can dominate and then they fall asleep.

I've seen small teams do it, but Baldwin Park is tiny, and Bravetown, are you high? Please and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, stop using CAPS Lock, kidding about being high, it's just not fun for everyone else that you write in all caps.

San Dimas got stomped like a red headed step child by Monrovia last week so they're too high and their schedule sans M-Town has been weak.

I like what's coming out of La Puente with Coach Rohrer, if he succeeds BA might not get as many kids from home...just a thought.

Extras: What's with all of the animosity...that's worse than hatred, directed towards Diamond Bar, like we've got personal attacks on other threads of the blog, I'm all for trash talking, but geeze it's horrid..

Santa Fe and the Del Rio league, Del Rio League is gonna make our side of the division look like swiss cheese and I'm predicting Santa Fe to win the division.

I'm all ears said:

R626...what was Gano's take after the Bishp Amat game? I was really impressed with hi ability to rally the team and move teh ball down wic for scores. Not much of a pattern with his play calling as I never new what he was going to do next. Showed a great sense of the game and managed his players extremely well. I hear there is special motivation on Gano's part every time he plays against Big Lou...you know anything about that?

Still I wonder how close he believes the Spartans are o really believing they will win evry time they take the field.

What's your take on this?

I'm all ears.

Bad News for Walter Thurmond III said:

University of Oregon senior cornerback Walter Thurmond III will miss the remainder of the year after suffering a season-ending knee injury on the opening kickoff of last Saturday’s 42-3 win over California in Autzen Stadium.

A MRI on Thurmond’s right knee revealed that surgery (timing yet to be determined) would be required to repair the injury, forcing the West Covina, Calif., co-captain to miss the Ducks’ final eight games of the regular season and any potential post-season opportunities.

The pre-season All-American had gotten off to a great start in 2009 and played instrumental roles in wins over Purdue and Utah, returning an interception and punt return for touchdowns in those two games, respectively. The fourth-year starter posted 17 tackles in three appearances this year in addition to being ranked second in the Pacific-10 Conference (21st nationally) in punt returns (15.0 avg.) and fifth in the league in kickoff returns (27.7 avg.).

Thurmond, who had been included on the watch list for the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back, finishes his Oregon career scoring more touchdowns (5) than any other non-offensive player in school history, tied a school record with three interception returns for scores, and is tied for ninth on the school’s all-time interceptions list (12).

WE HAVE SKILL GUYS ALL OVER THE FIELD AND A REAL GOOD QB, BUT THAT GUY WAS RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE LAST WEEK. BONITA WAS NOT THAT GOOD ANYWAY AND BP SHOULDVE BLOWN THEM OUT.
MAKE THAT CHANGE HIGGINS OR ELSE ITS GONNA B ONE AND DONE AGAIN IN THE PLAYOFFS.

GO BRAVES !!!!

Who Cares?????? said:

Wallace should be ineligible to play any sport this year as this is truly "athletically motivated".....

Dude said:

Yeah, fred could be like Aram and tell us what he eats, who he's dating, and so on and so on, because that's what gossip followers like you want. He could stir the pot, but some of us remember these are kids, how negative the comments once were to coaches and players. Fred does a good job balancing his opinions and allowing what others can say.

Baseball Man,
Will Wallace be playing football for The Lancers this season? Come on people give our buddy Fred a BREAK ! He does a DAMN good job & this blog in MY OPINION is BETTER than any other local HS blog out there .

Fight On

Is Wallace on the Football team? or is he strictly at Amat for Baseball?

Please Bring Aram Tolegian back! said:

This blog has been a joke since Aram Tolegian has left for greener pastures. I have followed this blog since it has started and can not express how much disappoint has come to this blog since being turned over to Mr. Fred Robledo. There is a constant lack of reporting knowledge of every team in the SGV and a show of favoritism towards certain programs. I have said this before and I will say it again, Fred does not get the job done here! The bloggers are the ones stirring up the pot in here, not you Fred. Thanks to the bloggers this blog is still alive, otherwise it would have been dead a long time ago. We need some controversial topics and opinions from you. Is there rationality to your rankings? maybe...i really don't think so though. It shows in your "tribskin pickems" with your record how poor you are in you reporting and analysis of each team. Especially the top teams in the valley. You are always going to have vultures and upset people in this blog, but thats what its all about (controversy). If you (Fred) are so quick to change the rankings the following week because a fellow blogger thinks it is wrong, YOU ARE TRUELY SOFT! Grow some cajones and stand behind what you write and what you think. This is not a personal attack on you Fred. What I'm asking from you is to simply do your job the way it was intended to be done. Plain and simple.

1) Bishop Amat

I believe this has been one of the weakest SGV football seasons in recent memory.

Look, I made a mistake leaving Damien out, I will correct it. Listen to all of you whine, think I would really drop Damien from the polls? Bunch of vultures in here.

Can this be that difficult? said:


I had to read this over and over and over again to make sure I was rading this right....Fred are you saying El Rancho, Venice and Bishop Amat are tougher than Rancho Cucamonga, who beat Charter Oak your current #2 and former #1, St. John Bosco who is ranked 52 in the state and has loses to St. Bonnie's by 24 and Loyola by 11 and plays in the Pac 5, and Bishop Amat , your new #1 who beat Damien in a back and forth war by essentially 1 TD isn't even ranked?

....West Covina is #5 and lost to Bishop Amat by 2 TDs while their star RB was held to 45 yeards and Damien runners had almost 4 times as many yards? Glendora is #6 when they've only beaten Canyon after almost quitting and got beat by West Covina by 1?

Come on Fred...that doesn't make any sense...what happens if Damien beats your #2 this Friday...will they move ahead of a winless Diamond Bar who hasn't won a game since Oct of last year..... Really?

South Hills beats a broken down and rebuilding Los Altos team by 14 while San Dimas ranked 1 spot ahead of them smokes Los Altos by 26! And Los Altos, as bad as they are are ranked #20?

Bonita ranked #11 after all the negative comments coming form some of the blog' most supportive fans? Ahead of unranked Damien who's had arguably the SGV's tougest schedule to date?

Fred after Bishop Amat and Damien tangled just three days ago the Spartans fall off the top 31?

Completely inexcusable...Damien is no worse than #6 ahead of Baldwin Park, South Hills, West Covina, San Dimas and Arroyo who lost to CLAREMONT.....WHO LOSES TO CLAREMONT????? Certainly not Damien !!!.

No offense to any of the schools metioned but come on...not even ranked...LOL!

Where is Damien?

You will have to excuse Fred - he is trying to figure out which side of his A$$ he is thinking/speaking right now.

In one breath he is slobering over Charter Oak even with their monstrous schedule the 1st 3 weeks!!! - then says WC belongs at 1-3 because of who they have played. Yet Damien is no where to be found

Wake up Fred!!!! You expose yourself as a moron more and more each day!

Hey Freddie,

I know our defeat of Damien didn't drop them entirely out of the Top 31 or exile them from the SGV. You might want to put them in before My Friend and other Sparta supporters give you too much of a hard time.(BTW-Workman is #12 AND #16) Just lookin' out!

The way I look at it in reading your comments the order of the top two probably shouldn't change this week regardless of the outcome of Amat/Bonnies game.

If Amat is there today would losing to the #9 team in the country really change that at all - given they'll have they'll have the same record as CO (assuming CO takes care of business, which they should but certainly isn't a given vs Damien) And CO's loss would have come vs the number 200-and something team in the country. I mean, if we're comparing.

It is also refreshing to read what you write about South Hills and recognizing the losses to two pretty good teams in La Habra and Tesoro. Who you play matters.
