    I’m pretty sure west covina deserves to be in the top 10 after DEFEATING an upper ranked team in california. Give them credit for their win. Yeah it was an ugly loss to covina but they came back & showed everyone they’re still the team to beat in the hacienda league. Keep up the good work bulldogs.

  • Born and Raised SGV

    If WC deserves to be top ten, then where do you place Covina? Give us credit for that win and a follow up blow out.

  • Arroyo Knight

    Aram,

    in you opinion who do you think would win head to head Arroyo or Azusa? I think Arroyo needs to be ahead of Azusa and they need to be at the #10 spot!

  • Unreal…

    Venice = Not upper ranked.

    They are a good City Section team. West Covina has some more to prove before they should be let back in the top 10 and “W” this week will do it.

    ARROYO KNIGHT, if this changes your feeling and makes all things right with the world for you. I will be the bearer of GREAT NEWS AND COMFORT! Go on Miguel Melendezs article and according to the CIF polls they have ARROYO ranked #1 in the Mid Valley polls, and that my friend is the polls that count come playoff time!

    So youre wasting your time pleading to ARAM to change (HIS MIND, I MEAN POLL), also heres another one for you, and this should make you happy! Click on CAL PREPS and click on project a match up and youll have Arroyo over AZUSA by two whole points! Be aware Arroyo, CAL PREPS is pretty darn accurate! So this great news should make you way happy now!

    p.s. By the way its Steves poll and not ARAMS, and I figured you would want to rewrite your post to Steve.

    AZTEC PRIDE!

    I’m a COLTS fan thru and thru but….Even I don’t agree that the COLTS earned their way into the TOP 10……yet…..

    A lot of people believe that the wins they have so far this season have been flukes ( I’m not one of them ). Let he COLTS prove those people wrong with a couple of more decisive wins and I will join in on shouting from the top of MT Baldy with the rest of the Colt fans. We faithful are proud of their heart, their commitment, and their effort and being on a Top 10 list won’t change that. See you in the stands Friday night!

    The following is a copy of a facsimile sent via portable type set by an off duty court recorder now living in Indio. The following testimonials are true and forthright as witnessed on Wensday afternoon, 09/15/10 in Chino Hills, Ca.

    Norco: I am sitting here at McDonalds. on chino hills parkway with a former Chino Hills School football player, and now alleged recruiter, who will be known only as Mister S.

    GUEST: Woof! Woof!

    Norco: Oh, my bad! (Norco consults resource manual) Make that Mr. XI got the X, and the S sounds in your woofs mixed up. Its a common mistake…Lot of people make the same one when using the word askbut Im sure you already know that coming from Chino Hills and all(Norco calls out to the staff at Micky D`s) Can we get shake over here for my guest. Make it chocolate!

    GUEST: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Norco: My bad, change it to vanilla!…Now then, let me just clarify a few points for our listening audience; first off, I will ask Mister X several questions

    GUEST: GRRRRRRRRRRR!

    Norco: Ok! A FEW questions

    GUEST: Ruff. Ruff. Pant, pant, pant

    Norco: Mister X will then answer those same questions in the Husky dialect. The same dialect you have by now identified as a series of woofs, barks, howls, growls, pants and some whining. Now then, just in case you at home were wondering just how I intend to decipher said language, well I hold here in my hands the official Husky-speak translations, kindly donated to our cause today by a teachers aide to the secretary of the Assistant ASB coordinator at Chino Hills HS…

    GUEST: Woof! Woof! Woof! Pant-pant-pant-Ruff-ruff-ruffGrrrrrrr!

    Norco: My guest stated that he is, and I quote him Most pleasurably, affably, and gratifyingly delighted to be able to share the undeniable loquaciousness of the most decidedly renownful (is that a word?), prep football program in the entire majestic spectrum known as the San Berdino County.

    GUEST: Woof!

    Norco: Dont mention itSo now Id like to get started

    GUEST: Awhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    Norco: Good youre excited. Use that.

    GUEST: Pant-pant-pant

    Norco: Im gonna cut right to the chase here pal.

    GUEST: Ruuuuuuff!

    Norco: Do the Huskies recruit?

    GUEST: WOOF!!!…GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

    Norco: Ok, lemme rephrase thatdoes Chino Hills facilitate unwarranted transfers for the benefit of their football program through verbal or nonverbal negotiable methods / means of contact before the actual recruit

    GUEST: Grrrrrr.

    Norco: Scratch thatbefore the actual POTENTIAL APPLICANT has any idea of the following-
    ONE: That he can all of a sudden, for reasons unknown to even God almighty, no longer stand his already infallible superstar status at his present school of residence.
    TWO: His once happily married parents, who were- in May of the recent year- planning a trip to the Bahamas for their twentieth wedding anniversary and vow renewal, are now egregiously eager to kill each other, move to separate parts of the state, which strangely enough leaves the father of all people- with sole custody of the kid who happens to excel at QB (a position the Huskies sorely need to be effective).
    THREE: The absolute hard knowledge of the whereabouts of Chino Hills California on the Map of Places to Avoid at All Costs- A Working Mans Index for Real Estate Developers Looking to Stay in Business Beyond the Next Twenty Minutes
    And lastly, item FOUR: The ability of the young man and /or his dad, to spell it (Chino Hills) without first consulting the local liquor store in the beer/beverage case?

    GUEST: Woof! Woof! (The guest hands Norco an envelope)

    MBG: This isnt written in Husky is it?

    GUEST: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Norco: I have just been handed an envelope containing an official document of response, stamped, headed, and signed by the Chino Hills HS Football Boosters Club. It states, and I quote, We here at Chino Hills High School deny any and all recruiting allegations regarding illegal contact with athletes in relation to recruiting. We do however believe that it is every familys rights to exercise free will and individual discretion when choosing a school and/or community with which their student athlete attend and compete for. Even if it means we win another 16 straight CIF championships, make ten or so more bowl appearances, move kids into friends of the football programs homes for safe and legal quarter during season, and or offer them a way out of the hard-cruel streets of white suburbia. The end

    GUEST: Woof! Woof! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

    Norco: Okay, so I made that last three or so sentences up, but what about all of that? You have parents putting kids up. Your HC hiring a staff that looks like an assortment of dudes you wont find on your alma mater prestigious International Baccalaureate campus, but perhaps at the local DMV or Pep Boys. You have boundaries that are so close, so paper thin, so bound to your rivals, that you could literally stand on your front porch-err-stoop as you might refer to it, and pee onto an opposing High school kids lawn.

    GUEST: Woof! Woof! Woof!

    Norco: lemme finish here since I am paying for that shake in your hand pal!

    GUEST: Whiiiiine, whiiiiine, whinnnne

    Norco: Stop it! Save your whining for another untimely big loss to an undersized and outmanned BIGVIII8 team during the playoffs guy! And finally, by coincidence, you have unlimited resources in a community where the word resource is the equivalent to sand in Alaskas frozen tundra, or better yet, a Yukon Denali inChino Hills!

    GUEST: Woof-woof-woof-woof!

    Norco: Now answer me those questions dawg! And cut it out with the barking and drooling. Im getting angry-saliva spray in my famous star.

    GUEST: (The guest stands up and shouts) Look man, I do what I do. I drive the car dawg. Thats it. You wanna investigate them, go for it. Alls I can say is youre barkin up the wrong tree man.

    Norco: No pun intended

    GUEST: I drive the car, and thats it! Thats all your getting outta me! Interview over! (The Guest gets up out of his bench seat and looking both ways, exits out of Mcdonalds. gets into a brand new black and red Yukon Denali and drives off)

    Norco: And just whos gonna be paying for that shake tough guy?

    *End interview

  • Nicely done!!!

    Norco, LOL, classic my man, classic, but seriously, dude, you got some time on your hands, ha, ha, ha. Keep it coming that was creative. Notes: Famous star is served at Carl’s. I would use my regular screen name but I don’t want to appear biased. Good stuff though.

  • Norco

    I know…I know…I was eating a damn famous star from Carls when I was writing it….

  • Football Mom

    Norco,

    I really don’t know what prompted that lengthy post but you just made my night. My daughter came down and wanted to know why I was laughing so hard in a room by myself!

  • Dan

    Unreal,
    I agree 100%, we don’t know how good Venice really is, if we get wins over SH and Glendora in these next two weeks then we’ll have a pretty good argument.
    On a little side note, Garfield played Amat and Orange Lutheran pretty tough, they lost 23 to 0 to Amat and 15 to 3 to Orange Lutheran but they got rolled by Venice 42 to 6 in their scrimmage.
    I know it was just a scrimmage and it means nothing but it’s interesting never the less. My guess is Garfield may have been missing a few players, or maybe Garfield didn’t match up well team wise with the speed of Venice, where as with Amat & O-Lu, Garfields big size may have been a better match to the power run games of the two Pac 5 schools, Venice also blew out Harvard Westlake 47 to 12 the week after they scrimmaged Garfield, like I said it may mean nothing but I thought I’d throw it out there
    anyways.

    Interview with Jeb Buddusky

    Norco: No. You lost me

    Jeb: Fellas name was Billy JohnWas one of only five three time gold medalists in the Redneck Games they have out there in Marshall, which is a lot like Chino Hills in a ton a waysWe both hit it off like a pigs in a blanket. I means we both liked milkin cows, farming, southern sounding folksWe said the same stuff alla the timewe liked 4x4s, ate the same foods, the same girls

    Norco: Did you say the Redneck Games?

    Jeb: Yeah, they do all sorts-a-stuff. The mattress chuck, armpit serenades, watermelon seed shoot off, cow patty discuss, daughter with the shortest skirt competitionthey usually do that one at the end of the day when everybodys got their rowdy on

    Norco: UmmhmmSo your friend was a big winner eh?

    Jeb: He won gold in hay baling art and the longest beer belch. Finished second by about a pinkie nail, ya know that teeny little finger on your hand. Its nailWell the competition was to see who could get the longest ash to hang on their cigaretteMy buddys was four inches long. We all told him he shoulda just bought himself some a those extra-long smokes that Virginia Slims makes, and he just shook his stubborn head and said that he wasnt gonna smoke no girly man stogies just to win another gold. So he went with the Marlboro reds. Ya know, I gotta be honest, I respect the hell outta him for that.

    Norco: Sounds like itSo what about your coaches at Chino Hills?

    Jeb: Jerks! All of emHey! Would you stop that!

    Norco: Sorry. Bad habit

    Norco: Interviews with politics?

    Jeb: Naw, just interviews that ask questionsYa know what Im meanin there?

    Norco: Im trying

    Jeb: Cool

    MBG: SoWhat does one do in Chino Hills for entertainment?

    Jeb: Oh, wellTheres neighborhood contest like, whos got the biggest deck. We measure each others decks and the winner throws a barbeque at his house for the whole block. Its a whole lotta fun for the entire family.

    Norco: I can see why.

    Jeb: We collect empty shot gun shells and decorate the trees at Christmas. No shotgun shells wasted round these parts!

    Norco: Charlton Heston would be proud.

    Jeb: We occasionally drop houses off their wheels and let em sit for a week or so at a lower level.

    Norco: Tough on the wrists I bet

    Jeb: Mister, you have know ideaWe like to cruise the new neighborhoods and try and find a house thats actually smaller than its satellite dish, and then pulverize it with fish guts or hang a deer head on itThem Italians did that in the Godfather

    Norco: Actually they didnt

    Jeb: I know, Im just kidding with thatIt was some pigs balls or something like thatHey, speaking of pigs, you gotcha any of those new pics of Brittany Spears at the hotdog eatin contest you promised?

    Norco: Later on

    Jeb: Ok

    MBG: So why is everything so hush-hush regarding the Chino Hills football program?

    Jeb: there ya go again

    Norco: Ill just take those photos home with me and youll never get to see Brittany double fisting the polski

    Jeb: Okay! Okay! Ya got meIll answer just one question

    Norco: Awesome. So regarding the last one, whats the reason for the hush-hush approach: Secret discussions off-line regarding players, kids all of a sudden up and leaving for unknown reasons, allegations of foul play in the weight program, and illegal cut blocking schemes? Its all pretty eye raising stuff JebWhats up?

    Jeb: Its Junior!

    Norco: Answer the question or I tear the photos and fed em to your pig Arnold.

    Jeb: Okay! I dont knowThings just aint right. They claim everything is, but its like one-a-those stories where your knowin that somethins fishy, and the people keep tellin ya there isnt, but then ya find out there was all along I just dont know. Alls I know is were forever sworn to secrecy like some kinda ritual youd see in a FBI movie.

    Norco: Do they brand you?

    Jeb: What? No! Its just the talkin thing. There a lot like you that way…

    Norco: When you say talkin do you mean brain washing?

    Jeb: Exactly! Thats exactly what I mean. Wait a secIs that?…I just saw coach drive by. Hey, your one of them aintcha? Your one of them, and you been tryin to trick meYou been trying to get me to crackWell Im trough with it all. Ya hear me, you people are nuts. Youre all crazy! I done everything you asked me to do. I took the Elephant hormones, I drank the diet shakes with bull batter, I gave 35 percent of all my paychecks to the foundation, I donated my eggs to the pole dancer, I even still wear my blue man thong see (Jeb drops his drawers and reveals a blue thong with a white n etched on the front side) What else do you want from me?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Norco: Jeb

    *Jeb rips off his mic and runs out the door, hops into his pick-up and drives away in a flash, throwing beer cans and mens underwear out of the windows…

    Interview over.

  • Dan

    Norco,
    Your starting to worry me, whats with you and Chino Hills, that was a lot of energy focused in that direction, never the less pretty creative,
    or could it be obsessive? uh ohhh.
