Saturday Morning Quarterback: San Dimas Smudges Bonita Again; Charter Oak rallies for victory; Azusa runs over La Puente

They were both dressed for practice Monday, but I hear #3 is still questionable.

#12 was in his regular rotation although I don't know how much of the flu symptoms persist.

To Durward Way

Can you tell me if #3 and #12 are healthy and ready to go?

one more thing about us huths,when we go out for a sport its all or nothing.dont wait half way thur the season and say dame the coach sucks the team sucks. no way we are part of the big picture from start to finish.
with one thing on mine the championship buddy.you dont think dick butkus knew at any time one play could end his career.k.c. has played hurt many time my friend,its not about him its about the team,its not baseball season, wrestling next then baseball.
5 weeks we waited to see dr again and his partner said its fine.he come back with another three weeks,were going to see another dr.wenseday mr. pity you wouldnt know about playing hurt ,if your not in the game you cant get hurt.

my son and i dont need your sorry as- pity.i dont coach in l.v. .coach in pasadena.it was to easy coaching in l.v. l.l.was like taking candy from a bunch of baby ... like i said i dont drink or use. i know i could use some english skills thinking about going to citrus college soon.thanks for the words of couragement my fellow christain am sure god will relief you of your sins.

KH...not only are you ignorant you're racists as well.

lack the basic tools to put a sentence together or string more than two thoughts without sounding loaded and you say that?

what a pity. this doctor looks after your son's best interest and you deal that garbage?

the man did your son a favor and probably saved his baseball career as well and you mention 7-11?

Ken you're not fun, smart, clever or a positive role model. no league in LV should accept any of your efforts to help coach kids.

ken just stop

hey i didnt go to the game .plus garett was really sick all week,whos #3 casey,his lower back acting up.we knew c.o. was going to wipe are ass.somebody told me they took it aesy on bonita acouple times so the real score should of been 50-to 0.,
well bad news for my son and bonita k.c. went to doc today there making him stay out three more weeks the season over for us. what a waste of time hes ready to go and this indain doc put the whamie on him.he said its ready but k.c. being in such great shape would go out and play to hard and might re break it.thats it am done with 7-11- back to cicrle k for my sluppies.

To KH. said:

Hey KH. with such a big game, can you tell me why Bonita did not play their reciver #3 and their tall Quarterback #12. Their offense was horrible

#3 Out from injury, on the sideline in jersey and jeans; tall Quarterback #12 missed 3 days of practice with the flu.

Big game? Please, BoHi couldn't have won this one with a Manning at QB and Ochocinco out running routes.

Hey KH. with such a big game, can you tell me why Bonita did not play their reciver #3 and their tall Quarterback #12. Their offense was horrible

glad i stayed home last night .next week my boy k.c. will be inserted into the game after the first quarter.hopefully it wont already be to late.it wont be like last year were he was bagging for plating time.he had a big stud name barne 5-7 155 and another 5-5 140 pounder he splitz his limited time with. we have seen what they did without him, now its time too seen what he dose with them...
season not over at all....
dont be a quitter.thats all

Basic,

As always you give me that different view which is what everyone needs. To look at it from all spectrums.

Let's stay classy Bearcats.

Game this week, I look at Charter Oak and I see a giant with those two RBs they have. If our boys rise to the challenge and play mistake free I think they can give them a game. We have a lot of talent and I do think we'll make the playoffs it just depends on how we play whether the Bearcats will be going in with confidence or not.

CO tonight, GO BEARCATS.

Yes Basic, you are real classy.

Very classy BASIC...thta's why La Verne rocks! People like you who have hinest opinions and know how to deflect teh personal garbage...God I wish I knew how to do that! LMAO

GP should be given a full year, full time. Last year Damien went with two Qbs and it was a joke ! All it did was appease a few for the many. The senior had three years to win the QB job and never took the bull by the horns and then suddenly his senior season he realizes all he's done or going to do is Punt and KO...nothing wrong with that but clearly Guillen had and has more upside. His Freshmen year he was twice as good as what we stated and he didn't "go for it"...His So. year he went to Varisty as a Punter so tha Jacket thing won out and no QB development...his JR year he started once and threw for over 200 yards and then nothing...senior yr he loses out during Spring Ball and Passing League and then BAM! he's all about the QB! LOL...crazy!

One game Damein set the record for turnovers with 12!!!! It was a joke but somehow illustrated why Damein needed a change in the worse way...NO PLAYER DEVELOPMENT!

Obviously that's not Bonita's issues but with any QB platooning it can happen right under your nose and it destroys everyone's credibilty.

GP, if he has the tools just needs time, schemes that play to his strenght and 100% commitmnt by teh coaches.

At Damien Mendrun had more interceptions than TDs his JR year and came back to be a legend his SR. year...that's why SO. QB who excel are so rare and so impressive.

Best of luck..I'd love to see Bonita when they play DR this year...last year you guys won but propelled DR to teh Championship in an odd way.

Keep it up Basic...I enjoy your takes and have learned blog diplomacy really works...thanks...how's the kid?

Since we're still hashing this out.

It does seem that all are in agreement on one thing. Way too many mistakes; here are some of my faves:
Blocking a kid from the back on a punt, behind the return guy after he is already downfield. DOHHH.

Twelve men on the field; only an artful timeout and a distracted side judge allowed BoHi to be flagged a single time. DDOHHH. DOHHH. DOHHH

Crazy snaps. I can see rolling a hike back from time to time but let's try and keep them all in the same area, OK? Some high, some bouncing back, some on the wrong count. Our snaps hit more spots than a Greg Maddux change up. Many DOHHH's.

Not being ready to kick a (potentially game altering) field goal. Bonita has what, three PK's? Four? Like height, kicking is one thing which BoHi seems to have in abundance. If the #1 guy is getting his equipment repaired, send in #2 or better yet, try this. “Hey, #189, lemme borrow that helmet for about 20 seconds, OK?” DOHHH!

I guess we ought to at least be thankful to have outgrown that cut blocking phase which killed so many drives the last two years. Especially since Fed changed the rule in 2006. Delayed DOHHH.

D. Way,

That Mckay line is so MONEY...Thanks. I do agree that this is not a Wildcat formation but everyone seemed to be calling it that, when what I saw was a change of QBs and scheme, where we ran the ball, and given that we do have some good RBs why not? I think this is my issue, why not be a running team if we seem to do that well this year???
I know at times it might seem like I pick on GP, and for that I am sorry, I think he is a very good kid with a huge upside and great tools (size and arm) I just don't think he is YET ready that is all, and if the coaching staff wants to put him under the fire this year in hopes of next year, I am okay with that BUT then you should STICK with him for the entire game and season, and take the lumps, so no it's not GP that I am picking on it's the coaching staff. Now if you just want him to learn this year, then let him be the change of pace QB and design 10 plays around him.
GP if by chance you read any of this junk, don't take it personal, keep your head in the game, play to your strengths, you have the tools and I know you will be successful.
Tough game this week against that mighty CO but that's why the games are played, ANYTHING can happen, so Bearcats, Play Hard and you should have no regrets, and IF you do, leave them on the field because Saturday will still be Saturday...

Hey Aaron,
I couldn't agree more. I have only been to four of the games and it does seem that the offensive line is doing much better the past few weeks. Pendelton has only been sacked once the past three games. I think the key is to use them both at qb. Pendleton looked very good at claremont and baldwin Park. Highley look good last week running the ball. But there needs to be a balance. I love the way highley gets the tough running yards and I love the way Pendelton throws the ball. If you could combine the two into one quarterback you would have a beast. We can win with either QB. The QB is not our problem. We have made too many key mistakes and too many yellow flags and some quetionable play calling. I did not see the Santa Fe game but I feel that we could have won the other games.

Honestly think the protection is better for Pendleton than it was for Jeff. Jeff was running for his life when he shouldn't have been with most of that offensive line being veteran players. But it didn't turn out to be good and Jeff had to run all over the place. He had some amazing games where he basically carried the team on his back. I also think this team is much better defensively than it was back then, no knock on Mike Hooper and Tanner Zylstra, they were studs.

We also didn't have the running threats of Deron Holmes, Kennie Calvin, and Giamani Johnson back then. With them I believe it should take off added pressure on Pendleton or Highley whichever starts this next game. I honestly think having Highley is greater threat as a TE and Safety as well as with his leg other for the Bearcats than playing the QB position.

I may be high on Pendleton, but we've all seen him put those tools to use a few occasions now. And when he gets that offense into a rhythm they are unstoppable.

CO this week. GO BEARCATS!

With all of the dissection and critique of the Bonita coaches and such it seemed timely to point out that what BoHi ran last week wasn't really a Wildcat, the Wildcat being an entire offense where every play begins the same, most commonly with a player (Wing Back) in motion across the formation. All Bonita did was replace one QB with another. Some of their fans already forgot #14 was the backup for Paradez last year and the JV QB the year before. Probably those same fans also forgot or never knew most of those plays have been in the system for years and used most recently with Jeff Chavez. They were re-upped after Chavo left with #14 in mind but were never really used last year because the coaches seemed happy running the spread with Price, Gatti, et al catching passes. This year they have neither the speedy receivers nor pass protection they had last year.

I don't know how many times #12 has been dropped for a loss so far this year, but I bet it's more that TP was all of last year. The idea behind using #14 at QB was apparently to offset the sacks. In that respect, it appears to work. The slightly unsteady hand on the decision making and play calling throttle may be due to the input of the Assoc HC and OC. Whether this is a precursor of the future or simply giving young coaches more responsibility is still in question. Captains? Yeah, Bonita seems to reserve the Captaincy for Seniors only no matter how critical a player is to the success of the team. Mr Basic does make one valuable point for the coaches to consider: Bonita has a height advantage, 12, 88, 14, 21, 42 and others are taller than most they play. Curious this isn't utilized more often.

If these guys are going to win this year they have to eliminate the goofs starting with the kid who misses practices and then forgets when he is supposed to be on the field and when he's supposed to be off. Lots of skills, not so much commitment. Twelve men on the field, twice, in row. I was reminded of the quote from the late John McKay when after a tough USC loss, he was asked how he felt about his team's execution. “I'm for it”, said McKay.

basic.
take it easy on all coaches
not a fun job when your losing
great job when your winning.
like i said podley will be coach of the year..
key player is coming back,
witch the team moral rise next week.
if i was a better dont care what the spead was i would put all my money on bonita to cover.
k.c. is there leader on that team.not with his mouth with his actions on the field.five weeks god seams like a life time .we both cant wait.
nobody at bonita has ever gave us any respect.we earn and takerespect . i dont think hes ever been a captain.thats a joke..player of the week first game.got to carry the flag out wowwww.no captain the next week.played with a broken foot second game .
am having a hard time sleeping at nights waiting for his first game back...love the coaches keep up the hard work happy dad.and fan kh

LMAO.. I do sound like a bitter ole man but hey that still doesn't answer my questions, does it???

What's up with all the code breaking going on in the last few messages???

Anyway, I guess I will not get answers to my questions, so like the ones before me, I will let it go...

Yes, I'm very sure

it's definitly not CN and I don't know who M is

CN???

U SURE????

SURE IT ISN'T M?

Basic:aka cn

I agree you do sound like a bitter old man.

Ken,

My comment was that a select few run most youth sports, which I said was okay by me and by the way this is not the issue I keep on bringing up, THE ISSUE is with play calling by the coaching staff on the football team. I have pasted my comments from before so some one can enlighten me. BTW, man I'm glad I have no interest in baseball, sounds like my comments are more true in baseball than in other sports....
Here is what I originally said:

1. You have one pass play go big and you go back to the same play 9 times for nothing? everyone saw the set-up but when you decide to pull the trigger, there is no pump fake, the corner does not bite, because there is less than 2 minutes left to play and he has been told "don't give up the big play over the top." Ridiculous play calling. The pump fake, off that play, was open until the last two drives, IF you are going to do it, why not in the 3rd?
2. Kick the point after, and if EH is hurt you HAVE to have a back-up just-in-case.
3. At the end of the half, you have a 5'8" corner and you don't pick on him? this is where you needed to go ALL-NIGHT-LONG, at the very worst you will get an interference call but at the end of the half how do you not throw a corner and tell one of our tall guys "go up and get it." Really though, how do you miss that miss-match? and on 4th again, why not get the 3 points?
4. The so-called wildcat, needs to be your base offense and I thought it was, until I read the comments in here and said to myself WTF? It was working and just because they got a stop or two you don't abandoned it.
5. You have 4-minutes left and you decide "let's win the game now" by throwing the ball deep, again WTF? you have enough time, and you still had 2 timeouts. How about putting a nice running drive together (you were getting 4 yards a pop, even on the dive) and maybe throw a short pass here and there (against that #5 corner) maybe a quick in, where the size of our WR would shield the much smaller corner, AND if you really want to put the ball deep, then put Casey out there and throw that fade against #5, up high.

JUST WONDERING...

i dont agree that money runs it all.
without talent, all you have is a bunch of
kids that need there parents to tie there shoes.
hey i seen what your talking abou first hand,when k.c. and i moved into laverne
we signed up for little league at wyatts park,well there was only five coaches and eight teams, why i said if this is a great town why no coaches,so tom asked me if i would take a team ,didnt want to but did,took the mets they won it all the last year so i had the last pick in the draft,thats why nobody wanted the mets they couldnt win with that team,boy were they right went 1-19 that year long season but knowing alittle about baseball i drafted for the next season .took all 11 year olds big kids i drafted like flick,big x greg v plus knew i would have the first pick took vic munoz ,the season and championship.went 19-1 won it all .so where am i going with all this .allstars time ken huth manager,[ not] wyatt and staff chanced the laverne rules atfer 30 plus season and named dodgers coach oateman as manager he wasnt a manager he was just a coach, what a slap in my face .two hard years i put in to the l.l.program well.oateman got his team in trouble not knowing the rules and lost to ted green l.l. first time in la verne history.ted green beat us, oatie got his which.his boy played s.s. and pitched every game.his boy is a left handed playing s.s. we had the best allstar s.s. only played s.s. when bobby pitched .thank you baseball gods it took care of its self.so there alot of players in all of the sports whos parents werent rich..we hit and play catch everyday k.c. and me its free.boy has it payed off he led the league with a 596 b.a. last season but only asoph. he sit ready and prepared when the head coach gave him the call. so as a parent stop crying and start working your own son out . sollow your pride and stop sending your kids to some of these so called hitting coaches.you need to go to a baseball coach.there out there.call scott winterburn. la verne college coach if you have young kids hes great with them he his a couple camps twice a year,mark creasse his great camps put the money up and jr. will learn. i started helping a friend give lessens.boy i asked the kids mom dose he play catch with his dad on the weekends,you know she told me he dosent have time he golfs with his buddys on the weekends.
boy hes missing out.sounds like my father son story.
am going to start playing golf when k.c goses to college or starts his minor league jounrey to the bigs.so all you hackers am here to give back at 50.00 a hour fourrrrrrr.k.h.

KH

And the women are HOTTER!

yea i agree with basic when it comes to our staff they need to make some smarter decisions on offense like they need to realize that this year we are more built as a running team and garret just hasn't matured yet but if we are going to depend on him we need to trust him and let him do his own thing or the last drive we had 4 minutes left and don't we practice 2 minute drills for a reason? We could've just kept running and throwing short passes and drove toward the endzone also why didn't we pick on #5 ALL NIGHT?

podley is a nice guy and he's fine on defense but we either need more of his attention on offense or a new OC

Money err Connected...

I totally got the sarcasm and it was great that is why I threw in a little myself (maybe a little miss-understood), but I honestly meant thank you for bringing in a bit of humor. As far as LV is concerned I think it's the greatest and I've said as much I also think the schools are right up there, so if someone got something else from what I was saying, then I am sorry. I was just giving my opinion on what I've seen this year with the football team/coaching staff. I agree that certain things are ran by a select few and hey I too am okay with that little hiccup but I think this is a great way for those of us that are NOT Connected to express some of our thoughts and really that is all I am doing here.

As far as football, NO IT IS NOT PERSONAL not at all, I have much respect for all the people involved, I however, do question schemes, play calling, play selection and maybe certain formations with certain players. I know the last one seems horrible and offensive but I am not questioning the kids or bad mouthing them or taking shots at them, I am questioning why they are put in certain situations that I do not believe they are ready for, that is all. SO yes my issues are system oriented, I think, and it's the opposite, I don't think we have the personal to run the "time-tested system." and it seems that Pod is struggling with that, I saw a very good running team and been seeing this all season long, so why not go with it??? That is what I see, well and # 1, 2, 3 and 5 of my previous comments, can anyone really disagree with those and if so, give those answers that I seek.

Wow I sound like a bitter old man...

Basic, maybe you missed my sarcasm. Yes Huth is right. I've left my gargage door open all night and come back and nothing is missing. La Verne is a great city with infinite resources but let's be honest here, money talks like no other in our city. Look how the city leagues are run, how baseball all star teams are run, look at the who coaches who and why in basketball. Every city has it's issues and if son dads want to run the city development leagues I can with with that minor city hiccup. Bonita is one of the better school in the area, probably on par with Glendora.

As far as football goes just look at the Jets game tonight Rex Ryan made mistakes and was outcoached and he admitted as much after the game, it happens. Maybe what youre saying Basic is Podley isn't running the same time tested system as before, is that what you're saying? Are Bonita's problems personnel or system oriented?

Basic keep doing what you do, as long as you keep responding as you do, honestly.

azusa.
whats happening. was reading about how nice laverne is to live.
been here 10 years.its great we dont worry about the streets at night always leave things open. when i first moved here, that same night after we moved in we went to the river k.c. and i .got a house there ,so 9 days later we came home .well k.c. left the front door wide open, 9 days later all of are stuff was still there. i like azusa there was no town like azusa when it came the fouth of july.. lived in arcadia god what a boring town.. grow up in t.c. those were the days, i like that laverne has its know police force.so far so good.you should do the move now,lots of nice priced home on 5th and6th streets.great parades,good pizza and nice family people.
the biggest differents between azusa people they push there kids in shopping charts.
in laverne they have stollers. am not kidding.

FINE AS LONG AS YOU'RE CONNECTED,

I couldn't agree with you with anything less, on La Verne. That is a nice place to live and raise a family. That whole area where the 210 fwy use to end is great. I believe the city has no type of gang violence, which makes it a safe place for your sons and daughters. My worst fears sometimes are when my son or daughter's go out at night to some high crime areas, but what are you going to do.

Wouldn't mine buying my next home either in the hills of Glendora or La Verne when I retire. The City of AZUSA has been a great place to live, but is not nearly as nice as La Verne, and that's just my opinion.

HANG IN THEIR BEARCATS!

Alum,
My negative shots at our student athletes? Really??? My first sentence is " I know we lost that game due to coaching" and my two remarks that could possibly be considered negative are: 1. EH does not have a great arm which YOU actually said "while he ran well he cant throw it" so who is being more negative? and 2. GP is not ready, and that is all you see, you don't see my remarks about his arm, size, potential and about him being a good kid, that gets ignored, all you see is "he is not ready" you even miss the "YET". So no I don't think I am taking shots at these young men. Now as far as our running backs, I'd have to say they are more than "fine" they are probably one of the better things in our O and that is why we should be running the ball this year...

Connected,
Thanks for the reminder, how could I forget...now ignoring...everything is fine ahhhh.
I do agree that Pod has done miracles at times with the athletes he has had but this year I just don't see it, my points I think all have merit but hey I have to remember to have my non-fat, no whip, soy Frap and ignore the rest, right??? Thanks though

Basic, welcome to La Verne...where the weather is fine, the housing market is fine, the schools are fine, the women are fine, the community is fine and of course our teams are fine. Just ignore how much influence money and friendships play in this town.

I see Basic's points but clearly Coach Podley has done miracles with the kind of athletes he has every year so to say he's being utcoached is a stretch. On the other hand Bonita players aren't as varsity ready as they have been in year's past so there's that.

Let's just say everyone needs to have a Frappacunio and enjoy of "fine" piece our serenity called La Verne.

To Basic:

You just can't help yourself. Got to get your negative shots in on our student atheletes. Our running backs are fine and would do much better in our traditional sets. And both our Quarterbacks are just fine too and they are both READY.They each bring something a little different to the team. So once again stick to something you know. Hold on Basketball will be here soon enough.

Alum,

Sticking to something I know...I know we lost that game due to coaching. I don't claim to know football better than anyone else but can you honestly disagree with #1, 2, 3 or 5 of my comments???
The issue you have is the so called wildcat? well how about first stop calling it that, secondly we are much more of a running team than a passing team this year so why not stick with it? Yes I agree that EH does not have an arm like GP but after 5 games I can say it "GP is not ready yet" he has size and the arm but he is just not ready yet, nothing against him, he is a good kid and has great potential but he is just not ready YET but hey maybe it's the wideouts at fault, maybe they are not running good routes, fine I can give you that but take away that 1 pass play for a TD and a toss across the middle for 15-20 yards and we had nothing else on pass plays where we can say, hey we are a passing team. Stop living in the past and realize what we have this year, more of a running team, so why not go with it???.

BTW, the only "personal" issue with these comments is that they are mine comments, so don't take them personally, these are just my opinions on what I have seen out there, and the "want" to see the Bearcats do well...

TO Basic:

Once again you don't know what you are talking about. No way the wildcat should be their base offense. They should line up, let their two running backs get outside, put #33 and #3 out wide and let #12 throw it. The wildcat should only be used a few plays during the game but not as your main offense. We have our lin-backer try to run a new offense and while he ran well he cant throw it. Our running backs are fine and our Qb is fine. we could easily be 4-1. Stick to something you know.

Aztec Pride

Didn't mean to sound flippent! I just think your secondary is weak. Just an opinion.
Your a good man didn't mean it for you to take as a put down. Please don't! Just an opinion and you know opinions all of us know-it-alls have one.

LA Conq thanks for coming to the game. Don't sell our QB Hrey short when we give him the protection he is just fine. You really can't read a defense when your o-line is letting everyone and their mother coming at you.After all he has been through I think he has rebounded well. I think if he had some consistency from past coaches I think he could have put up some great numbers. As it is now he is doing the best he can. He's been pretty inpressive that last five weeks.His line let him down against Azusa

Conq,

Well said Conq, this friday Wilson will get beat, i hope they can face the fact LA is a better team and dont start making excuses like they always do.

Wilson's reality check:

Nobody cares about peewee rugby teams, and the fact that your stick figure qb played in one is laughable. I've never heard of a flag rugby league.

Back to fball. You can spout off all the names, and years of your players you want, but you have no quality (stud) talent over there to speak of. And, the quality of the teams you've played this year is a joke. The only half-decent team you've played is Schurr, and do we really want to go there??? (YES!) They slapped you down like the little girls you are.

On to coaching. All you Wilson schmucks think that you've found the new messiah in Zavala, and his coaching prophets. Another joke. Has he won anything, anywhere he's been? Yea, didn't think so. He's a first year head coach, with a first year OC, and basically first year everything else. Just because every third word out of his mouth is a F-Bomb doesn't make him a good coach.
Your offense runs about four plays, and your defense is horrible against the pass. It's like a chinese fire drill in your D-backfield. Zamano is going to light you up Friday night.

I hope you bring your A Game on Friday, because we don't want to hear any excuses after we beat you down (once again) like we have so many times in the past.

Wilson, since the days of Despain, you are destined to be in the shadow of Los Altos, and there you will remain for all eternity. Bark all you want, but come Friday night, you will be reminded once again who the big dogs of Hacienda Heights really are.

Conq

To Aztec Pride:

Hey I attended the LP - Azusa game because I wanted to see a good game for a change. It wasn't as good a game as I expected but I was impressed over all with Azusa. The O-line looked great and they opened holes all night for a good running back. I can't comment on the QB or the rest of the passing game because they hardly threw the ball. The weak link I saw was the Azusa secondary, and I believe if LP had started throwing the ball alot earlier in the game the outcome may have been different. A better QB would have picked apart the DB's of Azusa and that would have opened up LP's running game a little more. If you guys want to go deep into the palyoffs the secondary better step it up.
Overall the team played well and made few mistakes. Good luck to you guys the rest of the year and in the playoffs.
Lastly, dude where were your Azusa fans??? Your team is playing well but your side of the stands was pretty empty. Your people need to come out and support these boys. What are we talking ten miles??? thats weak...

WTF???

Yeah I will take some heat but it must be said...We got out-coached, period. Bearcats were faster and if not bigger the same and that is all I will say on the kids, as for the coaching, well here we go:
1. You have one pass play go big and you go back to the same play 9 times for nothing? everyone saw the set-up but when you decide to pull the trigger, there is no pump fake, the corner does not bite, because there is less than 2 minutes left to play and he has been told "don't give up the big play over the top." Ridiculous play calling. The pump fake, off that play, was open until the last two drives, IF you are going to do it, why not in the 3rd?
2. Kick the point after, and if EH is hurt you HAVE to have a back-up just-in-case.
3. At the end of the half, you have a 5'8" corner and you don't pick on him? this is where you needed to go ALL-NIGHT-LONG, at the very worst you will get an interference call but at the end of the half how do you not throw a corner and tell one of our tall guys "go up and get it."

4. The so-called wildcat, needs to be your base offense and I thought it was, until I read the comments in here and said to myself WTF? It was working and just because they got a stop or two you don't abandoned it.
5. You have 4-minutes left and you decide "let's win the game now" by throwing the ball deep, again WTF? you have enough time, and you still had 2 timeouts. How about putting a nice running drive together (you were getting 4 yards a pop, even on the dive) and maybe throw a short pass here and there (against that #5 corner) maybe a quick in, where the size of our WR would shield the much smaller corner, AND if you really want to put the ball deep, then put Casey out there and throw that fade against #5, up high.
6. Finally, run that "wildcat" as your base, you are much more a running team than a passing team.

Yes I am sure I will get some heat about this but come on someone has to say it, we got out coached, period. Everyone loves Pod, and he is a great guy but STOP the "He is the greatest coach ever, and collages coaches from all over come to learn from him"

KH

Dude, you sure nothing at all. All the drugs sure messed you up.

Yeah, SD beat your a@@ again this year.

Good luck fighting for the 3rd spot to make playoffs.

Now, lets see, who might you have to beat in your league.. Wilson and LA. We'll now that's really hard. LMFAO!

Oh yeah, Pedleton will lead the bearcats to the CIF ring. Another LMFOA!

KH,

I wouldn't either, I was just commenting how they had plenty of room over there.

Hope KC gets better a little bit faster if he can. And that offense sounds right perfect the way you poetry flows there.

win or lose
i would never sit on s.d side.
am still sticking to my guns.
i know we wont lose a game after c.o.

haha its funny how a team like Wilson can talk when its obvious they suck. They lose to Covina which isnt that good of a team. Los Altos beats a La Serna team that has more talent, than Covina or Wilson. Wait till next week when the Conquerors destroy the wildcats}

?????? your boasting days are almost over - look at the box score - Wilson QB Schreiman - 2 TD passes - sophomore // JR Nelson TD reception, 4 catches, 92 yds - sophomore // Czarnick - 17 yd TD reception - sophomore // Nelson actually scored another td at the end of the game but a ridiculous penalty call 15 yards away from the play killed it - and our starting rb didnt play the whole evening but will be there for L altos

- both teams has starters who played together for years with pop warner - Schreimann, Nelson and LA's Tibbs even played on the same CA state semi-final championship rugby team as well - why try to separate friends

- one of the wilson players put your posts you put here on a poster and will be showing it at school tomorrow - that's a really good example

WARRIOR NATION AND TO ALL THE LP FANS.

My intentions were not to come in here and put down LP. I mean we get enough of that already by other bloggers here about the MONTVIEW LEAGUE, and you know we get alot of that! I can relate to your frustrations about losing also.

What I couldn't quiet understand was, yes you mentioned and congratulated AZUSA for the win, but yet WARRIOR NATION says how our secondary was weak and LP could have burned us all night. So you can see how AZUSA fans are going to make a rebuttal and comment back. DON'T SAY SOMETHING, TO ONLY MEAN SOMETHING ELSE!

I'M JUST SAYING OR BACK TO SCHOOL, WHICH IS IT? what's up with you trying to ride with LP, or your opinion about how AZUSA is not reconizing LP's compliments. Are you some kind of blogger who has nothing better to do? Come on do better then that, don't be a little instigator. This is FOOTBALL! DON'T TRY TO BE A LITTLE FIRE STARTER, BECAUSE THAT'S (WEAK)!!!

AZTEC PRIDE!

LP.
3 Plays.
Off of the triple I, double tight.
1. Iso right
2. Iso left
3. Dive right.

ALL GAME.
You would think you would get the hang of what they were doing. I was at the game. The ONLY pass was a broken up play action that was incomplete. Azusa basically challenged you to stop the run with basically a goal line formation all game. Challenge failed. Good Job Azusa. I was actually hoping to see your passing attack, but why even risk it when you average around 6 yards a carry right? Again, my hat is off to you guys.

HEY BEARCATS FANS

BOTTOM LINE - 3 PEAT AND THE POT STAYS WHERE IT BELONGS.. WITH THE WINNER!

THE RECORD ALSO SPEAKS FOR ITSELF..

QUIT CRYING, YOU GUYS JUST LACK TALENT. HOW ABOUT GOOD OLD MEDRANO NOW 0-2. KEEP HIM, HE TALKS TO MUCH S### ALSO.

ALL YOUR SO CALLED DADDY QB COACHES SITTING IN THE STANDS! LMAO

One more thing, I think its great how WarriorNation has been able to objective towards his own team without completely bashing the other and recognizing the errors his team made. I wish other bloggers whose teams lost showed the same objectiveness.

here you go LP fred made it nice a simple for you:

Azusa 51, La Puente 20 -- The Aztecs rushed over 50 times, getting 179 yards and two TDs from Kendrec McDade and 153 yards and two TDs from Steven Blount.
Workman 42, Bassett 23 -- The Lobos keep pace with Azusa, and is probably the only Montview team that has a chance to knock them off.

To La Puente Defence (sp),

I hope your coach is proud that you guys "decided that is was better to just let you (Azusa) go with bad tackling and let you put up some halfway descent numbers." and "decided to take the night off and let you (Azusa) go at it.Beside it was homecoming and we wanted to show the people just how much work we have a head of us to be really good."

I think La Puente deserves a defense that will do what is needed to win the game and not "decide" to let the other team score just because they felt like they need to "show or prove" something.

To La Puente defense coach, I think you should find out which players "decided" that they can coach better than you.

How disappointing that players would think like this, much less put it in writing.

I'm Just saying

That was very creative and I think you summed it up for us La Puente fans!

Thanks

Aztec Pride good luck to you guys! Kind of anxious to see how we rebound next week.

We'll be back, I promise :)

Thanks for the back and forth the past week.

Stop crying LP is Dreamer and a wishful thinker.

Hey Podley, What kind of game plan was that? Who is calling the plays? Fourth and goal from the six and you call a half back option to the short side of the field. A field goal would have put you up by two scores. Put your backup kicker in and let him kick it. Then you run a new offense that we have never run before. All you did was out smart yourself. You have some fine running backs and a QB who can throw the ball. Line up and play traditional Bearcat football. Please junk the wildcat and get back to our basics.

LP needs to stop crying about the Azusa game and start getting ready for Workman because the Lobos will come in and kick them in the teeth because after talking to a couple Bassett players and parents they are saying Workmans O & D line is better than Azusa. In my opinion Azusa is the better team PERIOD when you are a spread passing team and you run double tight all game long and throw 2 passes then all that means is LP just got owned so cry all you want LP fan but Azusa would win 8 out of 10. If Workman handles LP which they should it will be a nice end to the season with Workman & Azusa both 8-1 playing for the Montview League and a better playoff match-up

"QB Hrey coudnt read the coverages if they where a kids book how many interceptions did he throw. d-fense cant tackle for crap and special teams for lp was terrible. play calling was horrible."

And you base your comment about Hrey on what? The Azusa game? Yeah OK ........whatever. Did you forget that he burned your asses twice. I'll take our guy over your guy any day of the week. Garret had nothing to do with what happen.

The only thing you got right was our tackling. How convenient of you not to mention how many times you got caught in the backfield but our poor tackling let you go.

And your comment about the play calling, well that's just plain stupid. When a team only wins one game last year and this new staff gets us to 4-2. That's not done with poor play calling that's called rebuilding a program and this staff has done a damn good job.

OK you beat our butts......But you better be looking over your shoulders in the next couple of years because there's a new kid on the block named WARRIOR!

KH

Kept Dreaming - CIF, wow, that stuff is really strong!

Aaron, get over your QB love. He simply doesn't have the talent to carry the team..

Diamond Ranch coach Roddy Layton: "All is right in the San Gabriel Valley. Bishop Amat is back on top. Historically, they are the best. To play a good team like that, and for us to play our worst football, I don't want to take anything away from them, but I'm just disappointed we didn't play our best football and give them a game."

If D-Ranch coach Roddy Layton can say this about Bishop Amat than why won't you Azusa fans let the Warrior fans say that about you guys. Let's switch it up and play with Roddy Laytons qoute.

WarriorNation said: "All is right in the San Gabriel Valley. Azusa is back on top, they are the best. To play a good team like that (Azusa), and for us (La Puente) to play our worst football, I don't want to take anything away from them, but I'm just disappointed we didn't play our best football and give them a game."

Deflate your egos Aztec fans your not that good! Remember USC got beat this year too and they aren't that good either!

Bonita,

Your coaching didn't "kill you", you just got out-coached. There is a difference. Stop being sore losers, and get ready for CO!

Good to see Montview people posting again. Workman vs. LP should be a hell of a game next week. #45 from LP going up againts #5 from Workman will be something to see.

The difference between la and wilson is we realize that we aren't that good, you are still living in the past. We are not going to come on this thread talking all that trash with nothing to back it up, like you.

the real big difference between the two programs is the direction they are going. The future of wilson football is looking great, while we all know the future of la football.

good luck to both teams...

plain and simple lp ran into a decsent team. no excuses lp parents that blog on this.lps D and O line are slow and weak off the snap and ball, QB Hrey coudnt read the coverages if they where a kids book how many interceptions did he throw. d-fense cant tackle for crap and special teams for lp was terrible. play calling was horrible. and for you parents dont make excuses for your kids terrible play. all i gotta say is they lost at home on homecoming with a big lp crowd. pretty embassassing. i have a feeling they got cocky plain and simple azusa did what they had to do.

yea yea yea good job azusa they had a way better game but whats up azusa pride saying stuff about LP track yea you guys won 2 years in a row but have many time has LP beat azusa before that plus azusa had more number then LP had but LP dominated the sprints and oh yea what happened to rauly in C.I.F. oh yea he didn't go and what happened to their high jumper oh yea he didn't go either cause they had prom that night. and azusa enter kids in the pole vault and they didn't even jump in C.I.F. so you may talk all this B.S about LP track even though LP don't get the good kids like other school would but if they did that coaching staff for track would be the best. well i do wish you guys luck in your sports this year and have good season this year in your sports

Go Back too school, oh, so now you want to use big words
like Suck ? Remember this becareful what you wish for and you know what you can do with your Analogy, I'm just saying..

Aztec Pride!

Aaron

we weren't in the wildcat the whole game just cause Evan was in. The fact is Evan was the starting QB and will be 4 the rest of the season. The penalties were what killed us not coaching

Go back to school, Why would you list those schools down, you don't need to remind us that we can't win those schools, because we already Know THAT!!! This is a MONTVIEW LEAGUE thing and you would't understand. So if your worried About Warrior Nation and his feeling, send him a Hope your Feeling better (CARD)!

So if you use that analogy, Azusa is proud of teams rebuilding and also I take away from that twothings the Montview does suck and Azusa is not that good.
If you can't beat those teams then why pound your chest? You beat a rebuilding La Puente big deal?
Just thought I'd ask?

Bearcats04,

I think the Bearcats need either a different OC or Coach Podley needs to take the sheet back and call the plays, because he gave that up. And if you also notice, they weren't in the base offense the majority of the game as they were running the wildcat. Defense played great, limited San Dimas offense to their least amount of yards all season. And as you know the Bearcats always seem to be small on the offensive and defensive lines.

But we had bigger and more talented skills guys. It seems as if this offense hasn't been playing together for five games...but I think what screwed it up was the installation of the Wildcat offense. I think that some of the offensive staff needs to be shaken up because that was bad. And like I said the OC, not Coach Podley is calling the plays.

Podley said that because that's what you do when you coach, you put the blame on yourself and not the kids. You are telling me San Dimas is smaller than Bonita? I don't know how far you were sitting away from the field, but there's no way the San Dimas line is smaller than the Bonita line. Bonita is lucky to have Podley. Nobody puts more time into coaching than his staff. Do you really think ANY other staff would compete for a league title with the teams that Bonita has had over the years with the league they play in?

Go back to school, Why would you list those schools down, you don't need to remind us that we can't win those schools, because we already Know THAT!!! This is a MONTVIEW LEAGUE thing and you would't understand. So if your worried About Warrior Nation and his feeling, send him a Hope your Feeling better (CARD)!

LP ALUM , you mentioned baseball??? What you forgot we were the League Champions two seasons ago and were knock off by SV last season! By the way. We also won. LP in track for the LEAGUE this last season.

AZTEC PRIDE!

Bearcats04

Don't know what game you were watching. Bonita was bigger, stronger, and faster. No doubt about it. As for the staff, we were co-champs like five or six years ago. In the world of sports it's about "What have you done for me lately???" We score on the second play of the game, then never go back to that play. In fact we change the offense. Great Coaching!! Even Podley said, A lack of coaching cost us the game" in the article, I guess he doesn't know what he's talking about right?? From the looks of things now, we'll be lucky to be 2-8.

I think the guys from Azusa can't read or something. All I have seen here is Warriors surprised and they point out more negatives on their behalf than they were putting down Azusa.
Azusa is good but can they beat Sh,BA, not a chance.

Hey to all of you Aztec pride bloggers, we are saying Azusa deserved the win Friday night but we are also saying that the team we saw Friday was not the same players that played previously. We were outplayed, no doubt about it. And I am not bad mouthing your team BUT I am saying that your secondary was beaten all night long whether the pass were complete or not your players were beat and that is your weakness. Every team has a weakness and the secondary is yours, that is just reality.

Bonita wasn't out-coached. San Dimas has better players. They are bigger and faster than Bonita. San Dimas had one big offensive play that turned the game around. I thought coaching and ball control offense kept them in the game. They couldn't kick a field goal to go up 9 becaue their QB/Kicker was injured at the time. You asked what have they done and say they are over-rated as a staff? They've won league titles in a league with Diamond Ranch, Charter Oak, and Los Altos in it.

haha La Puente stop making excuses and accept the fact that you guys aren't good. If you guys get smashed by Workman all ya need to apologize for all this false hype u guys spread on Fred's blog haha

LP alumni.....you must not read stats, because azusa does pass very well.....consider your team lucky they did not pass, other wise the score could have been 50 plus!!! dont bad talk them when they beat you guys pretty bad just take the loss!!!!

Lp Alumni n nation, when a team puts up 50 points in your house ,say what you want to say and mAke all the excuses you want. All I'm going to say Is ( Score boArd)!!!

Aztec pride!

Bonita Alum,

I have to agree. Bonita's coaching staff is way overrated. What have these guys ever done besides lose to teams they should beat. Time for a change!

The last time I was at San Dimas for a game was four years ago, and we used that shed locker room you had there, if I remember and I'm pretty sure the Saints walked back to locker room on campus.

Yes La Verne is so rich that the Bearcats have to walk all the way back to the locker room right. There's plenty of money in San Dimas, and if you think not, look around.

Have to disagree with Steve in his article...it was standing room only on the Bonita Side, but on the SD that extra bleacher they brought in was bare. The last time I went to a game there for the Smudgepot it was much more packed on the SD side.

Bearcats lost, some bad play calling and they're still making rookie mistakes five games into the season. Hope Pendleton receives the chance to step up against CO because he didn't here because of the game plan.

KH, you could have sat on the San Dimas side, there was plenty of room, no idea why though.

my bad s.d. after i sent the kite.
like always my mind said well what
if bonita choose to stay in the end zone.
so thats why i didnt say all s.d. people suck.
sorry s.d. for running before i caught the ball,my bad. then it comes down to who made that nosence choose...we will deal with it, thats why were 1-4 not good,any luck we could be.4-1 well were still tied for 1st place in league. go bearcats

kh,

Sorry SD isnt rich like Bonita.
We dont complain like little girls, why do you?
dont be mad just cause you lost to a smaller team.

I played at Bonita years ago, and haven't missed a Smudge Pot since. What I saw last night made me sick. Both teams have a similar talent level, in fact I would argue that the Bearcats were bigger, faster, and stronger than SD. However, The Bearcats got out played, and out coached. The Saints made the adjustments at half, and their players flat out played harder. Bonita should think about going in a new direction as far as coaches are concerned!

To Diamond bar poster,
I thought Diamond Bar played hard last night, I thought you guy's ran the spread pretty well
and we were fortunate that you guy's shot yourselves a few times. I don't know why some of your posters have such a bleak outlook
about your program because there looks to be some young talent on your team. I see a lot of speedy players. If your boy's play this inspired every week they will have a good shot in any game. It looked like your coach was waiting for our defense to line up and then he would call an offensive play right on the spot, has he always done that or is this something he just started doing? It seemed to keep our "D" off balance at times. Good luck to D Bar in league, its tough over there.

I agree with the LP ALum. That Warrior team that showed up last night was not the same team that we have seen the last four weeks. We beat ourselves and against team like Azusa the mistakes that we have been making will hurt us.
One thing on our punts and PATS for the last four weeks we have always been coming close to getting them blocked and it is always coming from that one side ALWAYS. Well it finally happened last night and that blocked hurt us. Did anyone else there last night notice that our kickoffs werent getting to the nedzone last night? Forcing a twenty yard start.And we have the best kicker in the league without a doubt.
If this was a baseball series best out of five I'd take La Puente everytime. But it's not!

Azusa deserved to win the game last night, you can't win with 3 turnovers that were turned into 6pts. each: A fumble of the second half kickoff that would have given the warriors the ball on the Azusa 40, A blocked punt for a TD, a pick for a TD. What happened was simple, the Aztecs ran the same 3 plays over and over and the warriors mistackled all night long.
Azusa don't gloat to much your secondary has serious issues and Hrey made you pay each time the coaches let him throw. Also your own passing game is weak. You need to hope that Workman turns the ball over and its defense forgets how to tackle.
You may very well win the league but unless you shore up your secondary and suddenly find a passing attack the playoffs will be short lived. But I wish you luck and will certainly be rooting for you in November over the Lobos.

KH,
Sorry you did not get to the game early enough to get a seat. It is reccommended to show to smudgepot games an hour before the game. It was great to see all the Bonita Fans.

I must tell you the Bonita football team has access to the locker room at half time and before the game but the Bonita Coaching Staff dosen't want to use our locker room. (I guess they have all the answers, no need for bathrooms or white boards) Please get your facts straight before you post.

You guys played a great game!

Enjoy the rest of the year!

By putting that in at the beginning of my rant, I knew I was bound to get "SOMETHING" out of it.

To tell you, this time it was way too easy. There ought to be a law...Ha ha

Classic !

Dude, you really went above and beyond what I was expecting. You really took the bait, hook line and sinker.

Too Funny !

haha its funny how a team like Wilson can talk when its obvious they suck. They lose to Covina which isnt that good of a team. Los Altos beats a La Serna team that has more talent, than Covina or Wilson. Wait till next week when the Conquerors destroy the wildcats. Wilson goodluck next week to bad it's over for you. hopefully after the game you admit you lost to a team that is better than you

Dan you're always honest about what you see in terms of streanghts and areas of improvement...what did you think about the Diamind Bar team?

The players have been getting the business from a few select experts but I think they are really giving it their all and never quit...what's your take?

Thanks

Hey KH,

Good to see you still leading the riot with me. That game was great in the first half, Defense played great why they installed the wildcat or decided to use it after they scored in two plays I have no idea, I read the stats this morning in the paper and we would been fine using our base spread instead of doing that. There's a reason why the NFL guys call it a gimmick.

I know why they used it, Monrovia ran over them. Garrett did fine in the Baldwin Park game, and the Bearcats showed they could score fast...seems to be the same problem at Baldwin Park...first drive kept them off balance and scored quickly. But second offensive possession of this game they put Highley out there to run the wildcat which did ok...but after awhile it wasn't working. Garrett should have his head up, he had extremely limited time and threw a TD, and like I said earlier he wasn't given the chance to go out there play really.

Hope KC is ready for next week, we'll need him out there.

"Don't you juts hate it when there is no divider between urinals?"....ummm...how can I put this...YOU WOULD !!! ha ha ha ha...snasauges !!!

Okay Jcaz just to help ypu out...before you go to the bathroom think of all the pretty woman hat you know and imagine them naked....get the picture?

When your imagination has "inspired the troops" run to the middle unrinals and bring that bad boy out !!!!! ha ha ha ha ha

Hope that helps!!!! ha ha ha ha...jcaz you are a strange one. What must you do on your overseas trips, all alone in Parisian bath rooms? Hey don't ask ...don't tell.

Okay here's an old tip I learned in high school. If you're ever in a compromising position when the "troops are at attention" and you need a quick "at ease!" ... put a drop of water on the back of your neck...bam!! done!!! "London soldiers falling DOWN!!!!....it works every time!!!!

man s.d. sucks,
not the football team.They played a good game enjoyed the h.s. action on the field.
What sucks is that ive been to better jr all american game where at half time the players have a place to go inside and cool off and
go to the bathroom and relax.no at s.d. you have to stay in the end zone and watch that sorry band with no chalk broads for the coaching staff to regroup..
It was cool too, have some class rent a tent for the boys in the end zone with some oranges and gatorade cheap ,cheap cheap..
The pizza was 3 dollars a slice,do the math, theres your visiting teams tent.i had to stand all game long no room to sitwhat a joke. cheap..Great drive by the bearcats to start off the game..then bang a new qb next series. Maybe it was like the claremont game where they were working on something,had a plan to chance qb in the second half no matter what.That cost us that game..The only time we chanced qb when i played, Is when he got his ass knocked out of the game.I would be scared to be bonitas qb .it would be like walking on fire,you hit one cooled stone,get out of line but wait a couple plays you will be right back in there .keep your head up G. Your under alot of pressure i saw the qb last year throw 5 passes away,he never had to look over his shoulder.
theres acouple guys you keep throwing too, who fumble and drop your nice tight pass.
stop throwing the ball to them. get the ball in #33 hands Your numbers will increase big time .hopefully #6 is coming back, we all know hes biting at the bite. G use your weapons and they will blow up big time for the team..again no class for who ever made the team stay in the cooled end zone..
next year i would return the favor right back to you guys but it would show no class..two wrongs dont make a right.
I STILL THINK WHERE GOING TO WIN THE C.I.F. OR BE IN THE BIG GAME THIS SEASON.Had acouple kids over the house after the let down last night,there all confused whos kicking whos qb whos snapping the ball .Its time we bearcat down and put the players in one set and leave them there. lets live or die with them coach.too much on a kids plate and they will eat a little at a time.With one serving at a time, then they will eat whats in front of Make it simple and it will become simplewe as parents sometimes forget what it was like being a high schooler,go back twenty years ago .how many position did will play on and off the fields..
now all you english major go to town on me k.h. forest ranger.watching out for the bearcats.

AZUSA AZTECS GREAT JOB! SGV TRIBUNE GREAT ARTICLE!!!

FRED YOUR WRONG AGAIN! YOU HAVE CHOOSEN POORLY! GREAT JOB STEVE! AZUSA MADE YOU A BELIEVER!

AZTECS ENJOY THE WIN THIS WEEKEND AND GO CELEBRAT AT THE AZUSA GOLDEN DAY PARADE!

AZTEC PRIDE!

Some thoughts on the Smudgepot:
Congratulations to both teams. They both played very well and did not quit. It's great to see high school athletics at its best and that was on display last night. What an incredible high school football atmosphere.
The difference in the game was SD finally decided to do the right thing and throw the ball more. They got a kid at QB with a rocket for an arm and he throws accurately. He threw some great balls last night. The coaching staff would be crazy if they don't have that kid thow more.
SD defense also rose to the occaision in the second half. They couldn't stop Bonita at all in the first half but came out in the second and played very solid D.
Bonita didn't quit at all and their kids should be proud. Ultimately, too many turnovers and penalties, and great play by SD QB did them in.

Congratulations to the Saints. Job well done.

Kendrec McDade and Steven Blount,
We just wanted to ask you how you feel this morning. We had you both stopped in the backfield numerous times for losses so it wasn't like we weren't getting to you but we decided that is was better to just let you go with bad tackling and let you put up some halfway descent numbers.We are not taking away from your performance we just decided to take the night off and let you go at it.Beside it was homecoming and we wanted to show the people just how much work we have a head of us to be really good.
See you next year,
The La Puente Defense

Speaking of bathrooms, don’t you just hate going into a men’s room where threes no dividers between the urinals ? Man I hate that…..ha ha ha

Anyway, I finally went to a Charter Oak game last night and I have to say that it was very entertaining to say the least. The announcer was a riot, and I have to say that I wish he was calling the Lancers games instead of the guy we got over at Kieffer. Oh, and yes TROHAN, Charter Oak was indeed the better team last night, no question about it.

Having said that, it sure did take them a long time to get it going.

You see, all night long last night, it seemed as if the Eagles were just laying wood to the Chargers, and if it weren’t for either a missed extra point, a terrible punt or even a missed field goal towards the end of the game, the result could have been far different.

Still, being at that game last night, you just had the feeling that Charter Oak was just toying with these guys. In fact, it almost seemed as if it were a replay of the Rumble in the Jungle with Mohammed Ali and George Forman years ago. Charter Oak was playing, “rope a dope” with Etiwanda and just like Poor George, they probably thought that they actually had a shot at winning. To funny…

In the end however, the Chargers did in fact step up, and when they did, they just simply crushed the Eagles. You know, all Eagles had to have done was to have just made one of those three plays that I alluded to earlier and it would have been lights out for Charter Oak, but in the end, it wasn’t to be. They all knew what was coming and it was as if Etiwanda just laid down there and got screwed like a 2 dollar hooker. It was that bad for them.

I suppose that the real funny part was that no one on the Eagles sidelines seemed grasp what was happening to them, or if they did, they sure didn’t do too much to try to stop that juggernaut that was simply all over them last night.

Good game Charter Oak.

Look Walnut's defense is nothing special. Sometimes I feel like the other teams don't watch film on us. Like last week, why would Arroyo kick it to Lindsey before the half? Why did they try to establish a run or not throw deeper routes?

Sonora was killing Walnut with those tosses and sweeps early on, but they went away from them. Same with those 7 - 10 yard routes. I will give Walnut this, they made some adjustments at half time and took away those sweeps and tosses.

You have to admit, giving up a 4th & 3 with a dive is embarrassing. Same with a 4th & 13.

Rowland will easily put up 50 if Walnut doesn't pick it up.

One More Thing:

Rowland will lay 50 and Walnut will score 0 if they don't step it on both sides!

To: The Walnut Insider

You are right it was blatantly ugly and horrible.

But it was a "W"!

Keep picking on the defense as you talk all the sh#@ in the world, after watching the first 4 games, they finally lived up to the billing. They only gave up 7 points. Say it again 7 points. Move the chains all you want. But if you don't get in the end zone. Stop them from scoring in the first half with 3 minutes after their qb threw a pick. They stepped up!
The defense had short field majority of the night.

Now the offense! Why did they go away from the pass? It was working so efficiently. They need to be able to establish the run, pick up the blitz on both run and pass. They did nothing tonight. Special teams, did it again.

You're right about one thing. Coaches can't be happy! But if they play like this against Rowland they are going to get killed! Let me say it again. Rowland Raiders will demolish them if they play like this!

CO ran same exact play on 4th and 10 from the 45 yard line that they had previously ran on 3rd down. On third down, Santiago threw it to the reciever running accross the middle, incomplete. On the play, Aj Powell had the coverage beat on the play by three or four steps, but Santiago had made the wrong read. On the fourth, there was no doubt who the ball was going to and Etiwanda made no adjustments. Santiago threaded a perfect ball down the sideline to a streaking Powell for the 45 yard score and shocking come from behind victory.

CO looked dead in the water most of the game due to a tremendous game from senior Angel Santiago. Nearly 400 yards of total offense for the kid alone was pretty remarkable... CO had the better team.. On this night, Etiwanda had the better player.. But, Aj Powell proved to be the difference with his great play in the secondary as well as some great play at wide reciever.

CO got stopped on four tries from first and goal at the four with just under eight minutes left. Looked like they didn't have much of a shot, down 26-14 after the stop. Defense came up with the three and out and a punt that netted just seven yards left CO in great position to score. They did with Powell's 14 yard touchdown reception. That put them right back in the game. Without that, the game probably gets away from the Chargers..

Sophomore Travis Santiago showed his mettle after turning the ball over three times in this one. He stayed in their with three touchdown passes including the clincher on 4th and 10. Showed he was a sophomore from times including his second interception when the Chargers were driving. Made the wrong read and would have had a wide open Thropay in the endzone for the score on the play. Instead threw it into Safety help and tipped pass was intercepted. He is going to be really good in the future. For this year anyway, CO just needs him to not lose the game more than anything.

Good job tonight Workman..42-23..truth was it wasnt even that close..the lobos had a 42-7 lead with 7:00 mins to go in the 3rd qt. And pulled all their starters and let the JV play. So were already looking foward to LP..this will be a big game..Aztec Pride..i guess your boys have as much pride as you do..well be looking forward to that showdown on the nov. 13..but first up we got business with LP.. Big game for both. But once again proud of the Lobos..lets get it..the Warriors are next!!

i loved seeing the bishop amat kids in the stands tonight chanting over-rated in the mid 3rd qtr...shouldnt you guys be scouting the team thats gonna knock you out in the first round?

to bad you didnt stick around to see the finish...

i actually heard one of the kids say i cant wait to blog tonight...

covinashawn,

That's for the positive comments. It was a battle, it was fun, to bad someone had to lose.

Mr. Scheimereins aren't you a LA alumni?

keep talking, our coached up kids are going to battle.

For a program that sucks you sure talk a lot of crap.

Go Covina!! We were down 17-0 but came back to win - Wilson qb #7 is a good passer for a sophomore, cant figure out why they changed their game plan in the second half // and sophomore #23 really did score on that td pass at the end of the game - the refs blew it with that penalty - but I am proud of Covina and a W is a good W - we're better than 2-3, hope to show it again

Way to go Azusa!
CO blew my mind tonight. This is why our crew has been in attendance for the past 10+ years.
Walnut wins by 7 over Sonora. That's weak. Rowland is going to lay about 50 on you next week.
Bonita, nice try. Better be ready for league next week. See you at Charger Stadium.
West Covina allowed 20 points from Di-Bar? Must have been against their reserves.
Hey Bill, I'll bet you never leave another CO game early. Sucker.

wrong score posted on scoreboard for the san dimas bonita game. final score is s.d. 21 bonita 13

And it begins....countdown. LP vs Workman.
Should be interesting how the warriors approach this game. Rivalry game with high stakes for the Lobos. Should be a good one.

So Los Altos won and Wilson lost..karma mr. gri...bytch slapping karma under ground worm los altos backstabber alumni

what's this guys name...scheimerem? is that german for cry baby loser hausen !!!!

lmao

Lakewood 21, Long Beach Poly 14

I personally thought that Lakewood was going to dominate LBP the way St. Bonaventure did. It did not happen but they snapped this incredible streak.

THE MIRAMONTE LEAGUE THIS YEAR IS SO WEAK!

ONLY A TWO TEAM LEAGUE, CO AND DR. WHAT A HUGE DROP AFTER THESE TWO TEAMS!

BONITA IS SO BAD, AND WILL GET KILLED IN THE MM!

Bearcats lost, they played not to lose it seems once they got the lead. The missed extra point was huge, and not going for the field goal definitely cost the Bearcats.

What to say here...Bearcats were out-coached. Penalties hurt. Offense continues to have problems. The Wildcat didn't help us much. And as far as Pendleton...he played three or four series, he wasn't given the chance to show what he could do because Highley was quarterbacking the wildcat.

Definitely snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on this one. I hope the boys can pull the rest of this season out, I'll be there the rest of the way to support our players and coaches.

Congratulations to the Saints, they just set the tone for the rest of their season and will probably be either champions or co-champions of Valle-Vista.

Aztec Pride you guys took it to us. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!
I hope our lineman learn from this!
You have to admit we didn't help ourselves!
But hey we deserved the ass kicking.

Go Los ALtos for all those people that doubted that Los Altos would beat La Serna, Next up the Wilson pussycats, get ready for a beat down

Walnut 14 - Sonora 7

ugly game. If Walnut plays like this in the San Antonio League they might not win another game. I still can't figure out which was worse giving up a 4th and 3 with a straight ahead dive play, a 4th and 13 with a pass to the flats, getting sacked 3 plays in a row, or losing 45 yards in one offensive series...so bad.

#14 Darian Lindsey is their MVP right now. Whether it be him running back a punt last week for a TD before half or him running one back to set up a TD, he is moving them more than the rest of the offense combined. Sonora controlled most of the game and it was Lindsey's return that set up Walnut's touchdown.

I know Walnut's staff can't be happy with this performance...it was ugly.

AZUSA AZTECS!!! GREAT JOB TONIGHT! COACH SHERF, YOUR MAKING THE CITY OF AZUSA PROUD! 50 points WOW...

WARRIOR NATION, NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE THE HEART OF A SMALL TEAM. WE PLAY JUST AS PHYSICAL AS ANY OTHER TEAM IN THE LEAGUE!

AZTECS ENJOY YOUR WIN THIS WEEK, BECAUSE YOU WERE PREDICTED TO LOSE! BUT THEY FORGET, WERE THE

MONTVIEW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!!!

AZTEC PRIDE.

Aaron Boy

So, who's schedule prepared who for the victory again this year, last year, the year before last and the total overall victories?

San Dimas Saints............

Now, who's QB is better? Or who got clearly out coached tonight? Your two QB's dont even come close to our one. They both are just bad and the running game is horrible.

I guess you played a team that played nobody so far, but whip you guys again this year!

I guess next year, we'll hear the same old crap from the pussy cats fans.

Later Loser!

To the La Puente lineman, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves you got your butts kicked by a bunch of short guys who made you look like a bunch of wimps hell you even towered over them.
You guys need to to say your sorry to Garret for what happened.Running backs you need to north south instead of east west.What are you thinking but first you need to olearn how to carry the ball.We should have passed all night because their secondary sucked !!! And we scored each time to prove it!
Defense not until you guys learn to contain and tackle will you guys be any good
How embarrassing!!!!!!
Azusa congratulations you kicked our asses for no apparent reason other than we just should have stayed home.
Warriors I know we are rebuilding but guys that was like you should have stayed home.
YOU LINEMAN BETTER GET YOUR ACT TOGETHERBECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE KILLING US!
Waht a disappointment

Charter Oak won.

CO just scored with 21 seconds left in the 4th they are up by 1 point, with a field goal or two point conversion coming.

Good job Azusa taking down what was said to be a good LP team 50-21! Keep it up Scherf. The Montview League title definitely goes through Azusa this year.

I heard Randy vs FC was going to be held in the local bathroom.

Montview Championship goes through Azusa. Very impressive win on the road Against L.P.

Azusa LP halftime note:
When the LP Dline & Oline decide to show up the Warriors and Azted would identical teams Azusa is not that special alot smaller than the warriors
14-7 Azusa half
warriors can burn 18,8 all night if wanted too

Tickets on sale at the Tribune front office. Steel Cage match of the century . randy vs FC . This one could be bigger than the dream match of BA vs CO . Don't hesitate on getting your tickets it will sell out fast . Sight still to be determined. Either Citrus or MT Sac.

u no who u r, call me back, we got disconnected.....i leave for the La Habra/San Clemente game around 6.....

San Dimas wins by a 14+ points! Good luck to all SGV players tonight.

Medrano, now that's a loser from the past!

May be 0-2 after tonight..

I think stat nut is an idiot!!! iam sure he never played a single down in football ever!!!!!

San Dimas > Bonita
Etiwanda > Charter Oak
El Dorado > Glendora
South Hills > Rosemead
West Covina > Diamond Bar
Azusa > La Puente
Sierra Vista > Duarte
Workman > Bassett
La Canada > Arroyo
Covina > Wilson
Rowland > El Monte
La Serna > Los Altos
Northview > Nogales
Walnut > Sonora

To all you Boomer haters:

Everyone knows that I hate Z, and if he wants to get loud again, I'll shut his mouth for him!
I'm calling it, Bonita wins by 3 TDs. I won the Smudge Pot for San Dimas two years ago, now I'll do the same for Bonita!

Signed,

Medrano

Not so fast WarriorNation
We feel the same way about our team. 2 less mistakes and we shutout Bassett. Our only loss is to a very good Bell Gardens team.
GO AZTECS

If you want to see a Juan Diaz vs. Juan Manuel Marquez type of game go and watch LP vs. Azusa that will be a great game to try and get the upperhand in the Montview race. #5 from Workman will run for 200yds tonight against Bassett and lead the Lobos to a blowout win to set up a Monster Match-up against LP for all the marbles if LP beats Azusa.

Good Luck to all the SGV toingt

I'll be at the Smudgepot for the first time in three years so let's see what the Bearcats can do.

I've seen them at their best, and their worst this season. This game is truly a toss up. This game is pure emotion and about who wants it more.

I say the Bearcats win in a close one.

Good Luck to both the Saints and the Bearcats, go out put on a show for us fans.

GO BEARCATS!

The only thing LA may win the rest of the year is a coin toss.

If LP concentrates, pays attention and just stops the stupid stuff I like the way we look. The O-line has got to sustain blocks and let Hrey and Giovanni do their thing.
If we blow some holes out up front nobody is going to catch our speed once we are off to the races. NOBODY! PERIOD!
Defence has to make tackles no more body tackles wrap your arms around guys and get the sure thing. Think smart Warriors!
This one is ours for the taking if you play it smart.

Fred,

Are changes allowed? Or are you that sure LA is going to beat La Serna. I've seen who La Serna has played. This team is good there record doesn't show it. I've also seen LA play they just don't match up.

Here's La Serna games.

Downey (Downey, CA) 13-17(W)
Wilson (Long Beach)10-32 (L)
La Mirada (La Mirada, CA) 17-38 (L)
Warren (Downey, CA) 20-55 (L)

I hope you guys are getting POINTS!

That's my upset of the week.
