CIF LUNCHEON: The experiences couldn’t have been more drastically different for the representatives of the Arroyo and Los Alto high school football teams at Monday’s CIF Southern Section Press Conference and Luncheon.
The Conquerors, who are playing in their second final in three years, spent time during the luncheon watching video of Friday’s opponent Paraclete on their mobile devices. Meanwhile, two tables away, Arroyo head coach Jim Singiser told the crowded banquet room that his contingent was a little bit in awe.“
It hasn’t sunk in,” Singiser said. “I want to go over and talk to (Mater Dei head coach) Bruce Rollinson. I got my picture taken with Chris Rix. I’m just like a kid. It’s awesome. It’s a real big honor for us and these kids to be able to experience this.

Los Altos wins on final play; Arroyo and La Mirada also advance

I periscoped the final mintue with Los Altos trailing 28-24. Watch the dramatic finish with Khayman King hauling in the game-winning 19 yard TD pass from Kody Olmos with no time left for a 30-28 Los Altos win.

lawin

Los Altos wins on final play of the game: Los Altos and Long Beach Wilson went toe-to-toe and back-and-forth for every second of their CIF Southern Section Division 6 semifinal game Friday night, with the right to play for the championship next week at stake.
In the end, it was Los Altos that made one more big play. And what a play it was.Khayman King pulled in an 18-yard touchdown pass from Kody Olmos as time expired for a dramatic 30-28 Conqerors’ win, saving their undefeated season and putting them in the division final for the second time in three seasons.

Arroyo rolls into Division 12 finals: It didn’t take long for Arroyo High’s offense to get it going in the CIF-SS Division 12 semifinal game on Friday night.
Once it did, the Knights did not let up.Arroyo sophomore quarterback Ernesto Camacho threw six TDs and 421 yard en route to a 70-21 blowout home victory over visiting Segerstorm.

Charter Oak can’t keep up in fourth: In the end, the Charter Oak High School football team had nothing left to give.
Besieged all season by injuries to key players, the patchwork Chargers gave undefeated Sierra Canyon all it could handle for 3 1/2 quarters. But ultimately, the Chargers gave out in a 42-19 loss in the semifinals of the CIF Southern Section Division 4 playoffs.
“It comes down to a lot of breaks and we didn’t get any, except broken bones,” Charter Oak head coach Lou Farrar said. “Nobody ever thought that after all the things we went through, that we would end up here in the semifinals.”

South El Monte’ D-13 bid comes up short: Big plays early in the game and big plays later in the game helped Rancho Christian High earn its way to the CIF-SS Division 13 championship game next week with a 42-28 win over South El Monte on Friday night.
Four of Rancho Christian’s six touchdowns were on plays of 30 yards or more. The other two touchdowns were aided by plays of 30 or more yards on each of the two drives.

Looks like Tribune Football MVP will be one of these three guys

casteel
Also, read this morning’s story on the Man of Casteel: Legendary Charter Oak High School football coach Lou Farrar wasn’t mincing words following last Friday’s win over Downey when he said that Chargers all-purpose standout Brian Casteel may be the best athlete he’s ever coached.
For Farrar, a 48-year veteran head coach, to make such a lofty statement after having coached talents like Jason David, Steve Stevenson, Adam Muema, Chris Allen, Will Harris and many more, was really say something. And the praise wasn’t lost on Casteel, who is as much a Charter Oak football historian as he is a player.
“I was surprised,” Casteel said. “But it was a blessing to be compared to all the guys who have come through here.”

SCPL semifinal football preview and semifinal predictions

There will be no blaming Aram and I this week, so save your posters. With the exception of me taking Murrieta Valley over La Habra, Aram and I are picking the rest of the area teams to win. It’s not homerism really, they are all close games on paper but there are more reasons to feel good about your local teams chances, than feel the opposite. If we’re right, or half right, we could have seven, possibly eight teams in CIF finals next week. You know that probably won’t happen, so to make this interesting, I’m going to list in order most likely teams to win down to the least likely team to win.
Most Likely to least likely
1. Los Altos
2. Arroyo
3. La Mirada
4. St. Paul
5. Charter Oak
6. Montebello
7. South El Monte
8. La Habra
