Los Altos doing great under brown LoL
Tim if you wanted a ton of hits you should just focus on Del rio and whatever league Montebello is in. you’d have 9,000 comments every post š
Enjoy the past Moors
@Ron Vrooman
We all know Alhambra isnāt good anymore. The moors are go to finish the season 2-8 in League 1-4. Alhambra has been bad for at least 4 years before Noah Rodriguez went to Alhambra and it was under the same coaching staff. Now that the talent is all gone they sucking again. Thatās saying something. Why does the talent not want to play there???
I must say that if the Athletic Directors, Principals, League Head Coaches from the local San Gabriel Valley, Whittier, Norwalk donāt meet up and discuss a new way to bi-yearly rotate teams and move the winners into a tougher league and the losers into a weaker league High school football is going go the way of the DoDo Bird. Jr. All American and Pop Warner programs have been closing down and kids coming to high school do not have most parents wanting their poor babies to get brain damaged and ALS.
When all the games scheduled in any league during any part of the league season has running clocks at the end of the first half and or in the 4th quarter it not fun to watch,(for the winner or losers) parents students donāt buy ASB cards not pay to come watch their kids play. 2 good team or 2 bad teams are usually exciting. You donāt know what the hell is going to happen.
So please, get together Admin, Coaches, ADās design a plan and submit it to those lazy Azzess at CIF headquarters or we will see more games like Arroyo 55 El Monte 0 or Rosemead 50 Mountain View 0 and then South El Monte 49 Gabrielino 14. A hint is to start with the worst teams in an 8 team league.š§
@ Moor: That’s a curious remark because it’s not like we’re excluding anyone.
Two of the All-CIF players on our 2019 team were defensive end Bailey Robinson and wide receiver/punt returner extraordinaire Vito Russell. On our current team, we have a junior named Trey Ragland who has the potential to be a very good slot receiver.
Anyone from any background who lives in Alhambra High’s attendance area or can come here on a permit is welcome to go out for the team. However, we’re not going to chase after them.
@ Alhambra alumni: I disagree with you when it comes to showing favoritism to star athletes because that approach creates resentment on the part of players who aren’t themselves benefiting from preferential treatment.
The three or four former players I ran into who discussed the favoritism or alleged favoritism that went on in the early 2000’s were bitter enough about it to mention it on their own. In each case, we simply started taking about AHS football, and that was a topic that they happened to bring up.
The sacrifices and the benefits which come from belonging to a team should be distributed as equally as possible. I think that’s the best way of building team unity and cohesion, and it’s the approach we’re applying now. It worked well for us when we went on a 20-3 run in 2018 and 2019.
This new play-off system is messed up. Many fans and boosters are happy when their team loses. Amat fans don’t mine losses as it puts them in a lower division. La Habra and La Mirada seem fine with their losses. How far away are we from teams deliberately tanking a game? Or are we already there? Damien with a roster full of all-star recruits can only muster a measley field goal against Wanda? C’mon now!
Oh weāll have something to say about that in Week 9. Bring it!!
No they just suck because they have mediocre players and coaches that donāt know know how to enhance their skills! Bottom line.
Coach Eric needs to let the brothers back on the team donāt see any on the team when Alhambra was great it because we had brothers playing for us Gil knew this and got them to Alhambra
Administration at public schools DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF SPORTS. No wins or losses are on their checks. Theyāll take a blowout every Friday versus dealing with a coach that recruit and brings the baggage.
@Ron when u got star players u treat them a little different. Nothing wrong with that Gil give his star players special treatment and put up with more nonsense from them because they delivered. Coach Steve Gewecke was the same way with his star players they had special treatment in the baseball program. U got to do what u got to do to keep star players. As far as coach Lou he was the opposite of Gil and didnāt play the politics game Gil did to keep everyone happy. Lou was trying to clean up some of the stuff that was not seen while Gil was coach like the special treatment etc and people didnāt like that. As far as coach Eric never meet the guy so not sure how he runs the program but from seeing the team itās different then the old school Alhambra teams
Man somethings just never change over there at Gabrielino huh. Man that sucks
@ Alhambra alumni: You are correct in saying that there was an informal “star system” at AHS during the early 2000’s. I’ve been with the program since 2003, and over the years, several former players have told me that certain key athletes received favoritism.
I want to emphasize that I was talking about the standards we’ve adhered to since 2013, when Eric Bergstrom took over the Alhambra football program.
I agree with you that Lou Torres was a good head coach during the two years he was in charge. Coach Torres knew his football, he was a disciplinarian, and it appeared to me that he treated everyone equally. But, I believe the circumstances surrounding his departure from the program were more complicated than what you suggest.
There was a lot of behind-the-scenes drama going on in 2011 involving Coach Torres, a few parents, the booster club (which got disbanded), and the school administration. I found all of it rather surreal, since it belied the fact that the team went 9-3 and got as far as the CIF quarterfinals.
There’s a saying about not messing with success, but that’s exactly what happened in 2011. The Alhambra football program went downhill quickly as a result, and rebuilding from that decline took several years.
@ron Alhambra catered to star players before when Gil was around his grandson, Zion, Anthony brown etc all treated different. When Gil left and Lou tried to clean that up he was run out of town.
The demographics have changed in Alhambra no longer have the Zion babbs, Anthony browns, Mitchell living in the area. Or maybe Gil was a good recruiter and was able to get those type of players to Alhambra. š¤«š¤«š¤«š¤«
Only decent school they see now is Arroyo everyone else just donāt suck as much as they do. But a lot of these schools donāt run a decent weight room, thatās one thing EM did was lift and you could tell, Arroyo also hits it hard. Every position should be in there working not just line.
@ “Eric”: Alhambra played badly in the first half and still led, 7-6, at the break. Then the Moors played a pretty good second half to beat Keppel by 22 points, and you still want to fire the coaching staff?
To say that “all” of Alhambra’s talent went to Monrovia is a gross overstatement. However, the loss of three talented players to that school has cost us, at least depth-wise.
At the quarterback position, the absence of Noah Rodriguez has hardly set us back at all. Michael Gonzalez has passed for well over 1,100 yards in six games, and he has thrown 16 touchdown passes against only four interceptions.
The coaches at Alhambra don’t have the power to compel players to stay with our program when they’re bent on leaving. It also doesn’t help when there are fathers who basically offer their kids to the “highest bidder,” and there are coaches who are far too eager to poach players from other teams instead of developing their local athletes like they should.
If “keeping the talent” means catering to selfish players, or to certain parents, we’re not going to do it. Football is a team game and we strongly believe in the team concept.
As ugly as the Keppel game was, we won, and we’re currently tied for first place in the Almont League. Our task now is to do everything we can to stay there. Beating Schurr on the road next week will be a tall order, but it’s certainly not an impossible one. And, yes, Alhambra will have to play better than it did last night against Keppel.
Despite our struggles in the first half of this season, we’ve still gone 22-8 since 2018. Your solution of “cleaning house” by firing the current coaching staff is an idea that might’ve made more sense after the 2015 season, by which time they’d compiled a record of 9-21.
You’re six years behind the times.
9-1 is a solid record for the d11 Ranch dressingā¦ good luck in the post season
@Anonymous HA! How’d that work out for ya?
Its amazing the same 1 hater for Alhambra just keeps coming back. When are you going to realize that no matter how much you complain its not going to make your son any good and a star on the team.
Perhaps I was too kind in describing Almont teams as being under water. Let me amend my statement to say that if ever there was a conference that deserves zero entrants to the CIF playoffs, this is it.
I just hope ALL of our alumni @Cal enjoyed being able to attend HoCo ā¦ š
All the Parents of the Pico Kids @Cal – I told you to stay home š”ā¦ much love and respect to cal ā¦ now make sure you BEAT LS!
Wish we would have ALL stayed together ā¦ bc it would only have made This HOMEGROWN team even better
šššššš well said Eric, I agree with you. They also need to get rid of Athletic Director as well. Karma!! Donāt believe Bergstrom he LIES.
Whittier is ‘Stayin’ Alive’ with a hard-fought 34-22 win over Carl Agnew’s hapless Santa Fe Chiefs. Both administrations should be mighty proud of how they’re running things just now, you know, sort of like Joe Biden.
All kidding aside that ER Cal game was one hellava game. Both teams put on a very entertaining game.
Lol!
All the haters are now out. It only took SG ten years for SG to beat MHS. Congrats to them. They have a solid team that’s coached well. Let’s be real though. This MHS team needs rebuilding. Iām confident it will happen. The game was exciting and fun to watch. As for the MHS coaches, donāt listen to these negative people. Just remember the success you guys have had throughout the last 10 years. Every school has its ups and downs. Itās gonna happenā¦
Better go look at whoās leading your team in touchdowns and rushing
Alhambra moors just suck. All of Alhambra moors talent went to Monrovia the Coaching staff should be shamed of themselves canāt keep the talent. This is just sad to see the Moors struggle against Mark Keppel. Alhambra needs to clean house now and get rid of this horrible Coaching staff.
Gabrielino sucks! Until they have a decent weight program they will always look like a jv team compared to other decent schools. Each year itās the same thing, low turn out and pathetic size/speed.
Real football is played 11 on 11, 7 on 7 trophyās must be fine and dandy, development and teaching is what those 7 on 7ās are really for, ER hardly passed all summer, watched them at the Arroyo tournament and we were pretty bad, but I told people around me that this is all for teaching, winning during season is the goal. ER 7-0 for the first time since 1991.
El Montes principal must be regretting not letting Coach C run the program like he wanted too hahahaha
Arroyo is still king. EM had a run off the back of transfers. New coach, new excuses, back to below average football for the kitties.
Soooooo I guess with your analogy Mr Anonymous that means that Cal Hi was another weak team. What luck El Rancho has huh? Yet another reason to hate ER cuz once again ER BEATS Cal. Cal may not make the playoffs again.. That’s 4-3 Cal. Not saying we can beat LA Serna but we beat Cal. Now deal with it and just shut up.
Hey @Anonyignoramous @Calmom @Del Rio Watcher…….. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha 28 points Ha Ha Ha HA! Cough cough Ha aha Ha ha ahhh ha!
The Mission Viejo win over a rock-solid Sierra Canyon team is hands-down the most impressive of the night. The Diablos’ defense in particular deserves extreme credit.
Lol at Cal winning the ER 7 on 7 passing tourny in the summer but couldn’t stop ER’s pass IRL tonight
Monte ello played well against SG backups @anon I donāt think anybody is debating it. Most people are commenting on the game wit h the startersā¦. the first half. Best competition is Schurr, but saw the game against Rosemead. I feel Schurr is undersized slightly, but they seem faster. I think Schurr edges it out by stopping the Sg run game.
San Gabriel’s dominance is against a WHOPPING combined record of 11-23 opponent!!!!thats HORRRRRRRRIBLE!!
@ Bottom Line: We might have to throw them a life raft!
Standby CAL coming tonight. I’m glad you’ll be there for this good old fashion beat down.
If montebello wouldn’t have allowed 42pts in the first have maybe they would have had a real chance.
Schurr battled with BG for a half then the lancers ran out of steam. Who ever ran the alumni nite sucks at their job. that was a sorry turnout.
what is the over and under for the alhambra keppel game?
No brownie points. No reserves were put in. Midway thru the second quarter MTB started playing defense and stuffed the run, SG didnāt pass midfield. After a 42-0 start which one score was a PR and other a INT MTB went 28-0. Then there was that fumble when MTB was about to make it 42-35 on the hand off.
I definitely give it to SG for the big win but it wasnāt easy. I think they could finish 10-0 but I also think Schurr could get them and maybe a 3 way tie for league cause MTB owns Schurr.
Awe, Bad recruiting year for Petie
Cant win with your own players????????
Tonight is the night!!
Letās go EL RANCHO!!!
Everyone is invited to the BBQ TODAY @ The Ranch
We will be serving fresh Condor from Whittier ā¦ a little organic but , but most are shipped from Pico Rivera
š
Montebello almost came all the way back. Could of made it a one score game but fumbled inside the 5 late in the 4th qtr. When SG got rattled and uncomfortable their true colors showed. Penalties, 3 and out, gave up quick scores. Montebello made some adjustments at halftime and SG didn’t. If Montebello scores to make it a one score game, I think the outcome would of been different. SG is definitely better than they have been in the last 10 years.
A quick glance at the Calpreps power ratings reveal the following: Schurr (-3.2)….San Gabriel (-5.4)….Bell Gardens (-24.7)….Montebello (-24.7)….Alhambra (-36.4)….Keppel (-48.3). All teams are under water, registering negative ratings. I am petitioning CIF for a name change, from Almont to Titanic.
Sg dominated Montebello score doesnāt tell the story. Montebello put up brownie points in the second half when the game was already out of hand. Not sure what happened to the oiler program this year but Pete needs to get it fixed
Ugly 2nd half for SG, but they hang on for the win 42-28.
Full House at SGHS tonight, Matadors up 42-7 over Montebello at halftime.
