COME ON …Why Now & WHAT does it MEAN ???

If The District cleared them, who are we to judge ?

AS LONG AS IT STAYED OFF OF THE FIELD & HAD ZERO TO DO WITH ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY WITH THE PLAYERS …

Must have been doing something right !

Fight ON
TM

Well that explains it, because the team definately played the game on a different level….maybe it was the coaching? I only jest because it is pretty much a, “well what do you want us (the blog nation) to do about it?” All we can do is talk smack about eachothers views soooo….bummer that they weren’t flogged and fired but at least it’s on their records and they have to pay the $100.00 fine!!!!

My Opinion,

IMO regardless if you are doing on or off campus, as a Coach should be held to a high standard as a leader and a role model for these kids. The students themselves are watching these blogs and see what these coaches are doing so if it is ok for them to conduct themselves this way, why wouldnt the kids conduct themselves in the same manner.

Schools IMO should take a stand and have a zero tolerance for this kind of crap. But I know for a fact that is not the case. There are schools out there that will kick a kid off of the team if caught smoking dope on or off the campus. And there are other schools that allow the kids to continue to play on the football team even after being caught smoking around the corner. You want to know something interesting, the kid that was kick off of the team was the same kid that later got caught at the next school he attended who allowed him to continue to play… Oh well I guess that this is what it has come to, lets just lower the bar for our Coaches and Students to have no discipline respect or any sort of standard for the way they conduct ourselves.

They got arrested, fined and punished what else do you want? Two sides to every story and theirs must have had some validity to have the charges reduced. Do we have to ruin two young mens careers over some herb? Reads to me that they were probably growing for dispenseries which can be legal with proper authorization.

My oldest brother was an athlete and graduated in 82 and had pot parties every night that my parents went to PTA meetings. I tried it once and it didn’t take. Not a fan of hippie lettuce so who cares.

What are you teaching the kids when these two idiots are using drugs, and still employed!!!! WOW!!!!

It shows me that Santa Margarita will do anything to win!!!! I am shocked at this too because private schools usually have no tolerance for situations like that!!!!! I wonder what would happen if it was a football player???? HMMMM!!!

Yes we barely found out about this, but since these two idiots are adults and were convicted!!!!! The Court Documents to this case is of public record, and we as in public could have access to it!

First, this is directly relevant to the SGV becuase this State Champion happened to eliminate an SGV school from the playoffs. Indirectly, but more important, it is …”On Prep Sports”. Read the headline banner.

This may have culminated in a misdeameanor convinction in September at the beginning of football season (imagine how public knowledge of that might have effected the season) but the felony arrest for cultivateion and possession wth the intent to sell…LAST DECEMBER! Why we these guys even re-hired?!?

I get the whole “presumed innocent until proven guilty” but these guys had “three mature marijuana plants, 229 immature plants, watering and lighting systems, five one-gallon bags of dried marijuana with a combined weight of one pound (thousands of dollars worth in the OC) and a pay-owe notebook,”… IN THEIR OWN. GARAGE!

Some schools that have some scruples and care anout their standards more than their press, will but Head coaches on administrtative leave even for allegations that something may have happened years ago…at a different school. But our State Champion allows two guys to be around their high-school student-athletes for nine months before the trial and to finish the season…even after a conviction?!?

I wonder how they would have handled it of it was some random English teacher who was out of the public eye. My sense is they wouldn’t have even been teaching in the 2nd semester of LAST school year and would have quietly disappeared.

but we are talking about Santa Margarita who has a LONG standing tradition of sweeping things under the rug that might hurt their reputation. Look it up

lousy in the sgv,

Sorry the typos didn’t meet your Christmas Eve standards. Was up late and gave my secretary, who usually types my posts off dictation, the day off. No Scrooge here! So here you go…

…because…misdemeanor…cultivation…about… Does that help. Geez!?!

…and yes. I encourage you to go there. What happens, and how a school deals with it. Particularly the school mentioned…and since you’re fishing…you can include other schools if you want, Amat included. A school can’t necessarily Do anything about the former ( that’s a refelection of schools being a microcosm of society) but has complete control over the latter.

And feel free to correct any more typos along the way.

Joe Amat, Santa Marguerita? Are they any less talented because of this situation NO!!!! Would they have lost to Amat, if this situation Didn’t happen NO!!!! I think you need to join Amat 73 he’s at the WC mall sitting on Santas lap. With all respect to Amat players, SGV Appreciates your hard work and effort this year. GOOD LUCK!! Next year.

Big deal welcome to america so they smoke pot big deal high school kids smoke it everyday.

Dave asked: What does this have to do with the San Gabriel Valley? Fred must be hurting for stories.
Talking about Santa Margarita, who is in Bishop Amat’s playoff division and beat them in the playoffs, has as much to do with the San Gabriel Valley as talking about Upland, who embarrssed Charter Oak in the Inland playoffs – and we talk about them often.

Yes Dave – just like when we talk about Upland, who is not in the SGV either, whose blowout of CO was entertaining to some. More impportantly – it about “PREP SPORTS”.
As in “Fred J. Robledo – on PREP SPORTS”
