Knock out the Tartans! Get them out so they can spend all their time bashing the Trojans. If they do get by you, their season is DONE in their next game when Leuzinger runs away from them!

So many of these first round games are mismatches, and result in blowouts. Not so with tonight’s Bonita vs. Brea Olinda game…check the Maxpreps rankings and you’ll see this is an evenly matched encounter, and sparks should fly.

Bonita vs. Brea Olinda game being played at Sonora High School in La Habra.

Covina beats St. Francis 50-41!!

tartans won by 20!!!

here go the wilson parenteers crying foul over n over again….JUST LIKE FOOTBALL (dnnt-dnnt-d-d-dnnt!!!)

Hey Fred!
Why no mention of Ayala Boys Baskebtabll? They were ranked 4 in your last Valley Poll?

Sorry to see Northview and Wilsons seasons come to an end last night.

Bishop Amat and my Colts have their hands full with Alemany and St. Johns Bosco now.

Good luck to all still suiting up.

Try to be a professional for a second here Fred. Wilson blew a 13 point lead in 2 minutes and all you can talk about is one play. Wilson didn’t lose because of that one call. They lost because they didn’t handle their business in crunch time.

Also, I’m wondering about this quote from your article, “As much as Rochwerg wanted to complain about the officiating down the stretch, he took the high road.” How do you know he wanted to complain? Did coach tell you he wanted to complain or are you just putting words into his mouth?

“bailed out on a late foul call” is writing it straight?

I wonder what your biased writing looks like.

everyone at the game knew that the ref was biased on that call, he didnt even blow the whistle until he knew the ball missed and was rebounded by Wilson- game over, no one was 3 yards from the guy who got to shoot those foul shots, and the same thing on the Kato foul during that stretch, wilson just was not going to win that game, he made sure of it

but it is what it is – most people dont remember – Wilson had lost 37 league games in a row going over a 5 year period, until last January a year ago,

last year Wilson went to the 2nd round in CIF, this year they tie at league with a 9-3 record and again advance to the 2nd round,

not bad for an 0-37 history just 2 years ago

Yes I have seen articles that say a shooter was “bailed out”. But that is a complete non-sequitur to the conversation. You already revealed your opinion on the blog. It is reflected in the words “bailed out”. If you were writing it straight, you would have written that the official called a foul while shooting a 3. You injected your opinion into your “straight” article. Nothing wrong with that, just own it.

Yes I was at the game. It was the type of play that could be called either way. Yes, the defender hit the shooter’s arm. However, in my experience officials tend to “swallow the whistle” in those late game situations unless the contact was “major” or “hard”, which it was not. In short, it was the kind of foul that usually doesn’t get called, but a foul nonetheless. For the record, I was closer to the play than you, Coach Rochwerg, or the section of Wilson fans that you were adjacent to.

You haven’t given an opinion on Bishop’s comeback. I wonder what you think. Why did the lead shrink to 3 points so quickly? How did Wold get open on that play in the first place? Why didn’t Wilson guard the inbounder on the play where Olivera made the game tying shot at the buzzer? What were they doing on defense that last 2 minutes? Wilson has no one to blame but themselves for losing.

Good luck against St. John Bosco, Covina.

LOL…
