Bonita’s Tanner Diebold (AKA Sunshine), hoping to lead Bearcats past San Dimas in Thursday’s Smudgepot at Citrus College

By Aram Tolegian, Staff Writer
Tanner Diebold couldn’t ask for a better situation to start building his legend at Bonita High School. The sophomore quarterback, nicknamed “Sunshine” by his teammates because of his blonde hair, will make the first start of what he hopes will be a banner varsity career against archrival San Dimas in Thursday’s renewal of the Smudge Pot Game at Citrus College. Kickoff is 7 p.m.
“It’s going to be fun,” Diebold said. “I’ve thought about it, but I’m going to play like it’s any other game. I think I’m going to be a little nervous, but I’m going to try and block everything else out and just play. “Yeah, it’s going to be the first varsity game I’ve played. I’m going to try my best and do the best I can.”
Diebold led Bonita’s freshmen team to a 10-0 record last season. While he was doing that, the Bearcats varsity was busy marching all the way to the CIF-SS Southeast Division final under the guidance of senior quarterbacks Greg Spathias and Garrett Pendleton.
With those two now graduated, Diebold has inherited the position after narrowly winning a heated battle with senior Aaron Burgett, but Diebold’s initial foray into life under the lights as Bonita’s starting signal caller could be short-lived if he’s not yet up to the challenge.

Duarte’s Tip Sanders looking for first win

By Fred J. Robledo, Staff Writer
Duarte coach Lavelle “Tip” Sanders isn’t ready to make bold predictions, such as guaranteeing a win in Friday’s season opener at home against Marshall, which went 0-10 last season. After all, not only did the Falcons go 0-9 last year, they were outscored 380-13 and scored just one touchdown the entire season. In fact, Duarte hasn’t won a game since Sanders took over in 2009. During that span the Falcons are 0-19 and have been outscored 841-43.

Love in the community at Arroyo

By Fred J. Robledo
John Gasparian, the owner of American Reclamation, a company that provides rubbish removal and recycling services for multifamily and commercial businesses in El Monte, donated $2,000 to the Arroyo High School football team after learning that the Knights were well short of needed funds to purchase new equipment for the 2011 season. With more than 155 players in camp but only enough equipment for approximately 100 players, Arroyo’s football team conducted a carwash fundraiser over the summer in which players went door to door selling carwash tickets to raise the necessary funds to outfit everyone.
