2011 look back: Monrovia's Blake Heyworth (12) and Marquise Bias (2)
Makes sense for M-Town to run away. The El Monte faithful are getting it, San Dimas holding tough…The Clete and The Canyon need to get more involved. Disappointed by the SG turnout.
Leave a comment, send a tweet, message us on FB, or drop a line through email. The more we learn about your team, the more they move up. To keep balance, because it is largely unscientific, we weighted the teams at the start. (point totals listed after each team)
1.) (6/11:#1) Monrovia Wildcats (103): Based on last year we have Isaac Miravet at left guard, Will Thorn at center, and Josh Cano at right guard…Who are the tackles going to be?
2.) (6/11:#2) Sierra Canyon Trailblazers (66): Remy Linares…Right tackle? How good is he?
3.) (6/11:#3) San Dimas Saints (61): Jake Payton should get help from Andrew Espinoza, Denzel Mitchell, and (possibly) Manny Elizade.
4.) (6/11:#5) El Monte Lions (51): Key to Lions? Jesus Palma, Joseph Lopez, Sam Hernandez, and Brandon Baiza.
5.) (6/11:#7) Arroyo Knights (50): Juan Hernandez, Aaron Landry, Marcos Lopez, James Rivera; best Knights defensive line since 2004? Remember Marco Duenas.
6.) (6/11:#6) San Gabriel Matadors (49): Steven Garcia is another one of those two-way Matador players that always seems to breakout and standout.
7.) (6/11:#4) Paraclete Spirits (47): The Clete dropped 86 on Pasadena Marshall in 2011. Points won’t be a problem this years with: Quarterback Tyler Carvalho, running back Antoyne Hutcherson, and wide outs James Holland & Damon Thompson.
8.) (6/11:#8) South Pasadena Tigers (33): Tigers O-line; David Cho (LG), Quinton Hutchins (RT), Ryan Stone (C), and Linus Zide (LT). Any changes? If not then tell us who is at right guard?
9.) (6/11:#9) South El Monte Eagles (30): Aaron Saavedra (CB), Alex Acosta (SS) and Pablo Ocegueda (FS) head up a South Soul Patrol in the secondary.
10.) (6/11:#10) Alhambra Moors (27): Home of “Bad Dude” LB’s: Nathan Quinones (ILB), Joseph Nieto (ILB), and Ivan Orozco (OLB).
11.) (6/11:#11) Bell Gardens Lancers (24): Coronel Gerrardo, Erik Galicia, and Justin Galvan, all sophomores, are the reason things are looking up down the 710.
12.) (6/11:#12) Rosemead Panthers (23): The Right Side of Doom: Right tackle Daniel Camarena, right guard Nelson Leon.
13.) (6/11:#13) Northview Vikings (23): Victor Garcia looking good this spring throwing the rock around…We love cornerback Kris Lopez.
14.) (6/11:#15) San Marino Titans (21): Lionel Escajeda…You may not know him, SM has not promoted him, but this TE/RDE can play football.
15.) (6/11:#17) La Canada Spartans (21): Strong safety Anders Iverson would get a whole more attention if he played somewhere else, but in 2012 the Spartans are expected to be something better. Remember the name.
16.) (6/11:#14) Schurr Spartans (20): Ricky Fonseca (WR) is special.
17.) (6/11:#16) Covina Colts (19): Darren Torres, it will be interesting to see if Darren Torres becomes The Man this fall in C-Town.
18.) (6/11:#19) Baldwin Park Braves (18): Coaches Sims & Palacios give us some help on the Braves O-Line: Jonathan Duarte (C?), Chris Mendoza (LG), Sergio Meza (?), Steve Trinidad (LT?)…Changes/additions…You guys block, you guys can win.
19.) (6/11:#18) Montebello Oilers (15): Wide receiver Gilbert Herrera is the big play guy in the Almont no one knows about.
20.) (6/11:#21) Mt. View Vikings (15): Cornerbacks Christian Cervantes, Xavier Yanez, and Chris Gonzalez could be special in 2012.
21.) (6/11:#23) Temple City Rams (13): Where does Anthony Valencia play? Receiver? QB?
22.) (6/11:#20) Pomona Red Devils (12): Is Terell Mosby still with the Red Devils.
23.) (6/11:22) Mark Keppel Aztecs: (12): Never seen an HC hiring create this much buzz.
24.) (6/11:#24) Brentwood School Eagles (7): Very much undersized, the Eagles are going to have a hard time making the post season this fall.
25.) (6/11:UR) Gabrielino (7): Note to Eagles Faithful: names, numbers, class standing, heights, weights, give us a hand here.
(Others) Wilson (6), Nogales (5), Blair (6), Pasadena Marshall (4), Viewpoint (3), Kilpatrick (4), Windward (2), Calvary Chapel (3)
This will run for the next five working days. Then we will launch a Northwest Division poll.
The official Mid Valley Sports Top 25s will come out August 1st.

Arroyo knights auditioning QB Nathan Coto 6′ 185lbs
Alfred Martinez is a BEAST!!!!! He will have a great year
Aroyo’s line sucks why would u even write that
Paraclete drops behind El Monte and Arroyo….really, wow! Have we been gone that long that you forgot what we’re all about? How many CIF rings do y’all have in the last five years? Football isn’t just a thing we do for fun fellas. Sleep on us, I dare ya!
DRat, it is an interactive poll based on your and other voters responses. Get more of the Paraclete fans to visit, comment and vote and see how high you can move them up!
DBarker
LT – Trinidad, LG – Lopez, C – Meza, RG – Montoya, RT – Duarte. Basketball standouts Alexis Baron & Alex Delgado give the Braves athletes on the outside to go along with H. Moran & J. Harvey if the QBs can make enough plays the Braves have the fire power and the big guys up front to put up a lot of crooked numbers. I haven’t heard about the D yet so we shall see.
el monte also has secret weapon joshua morales
Alex Acosta is a corner for the Southmen, not a SS. Alex, Aaron and Pablo are all returning starters. Pablo and Alex are returning first team all league DBs. Aaron should have been! Pablo intercepted Steven Rivera twice last year and Rivera only threw 5 INTs all year! Lastly, the amount of speed these three have is going to mean a lot of frustration for MVL receivers and quarterbacks.
I believe that Joshua is still taking snaps under center but has been working on helping to improve the defense. Last year a lot of people even some of the coaches under estimated his defensive skills, but now they realized he can help out a lot. This is going to be his year to shine. You heard it from me first. Everyone look out for Joshua “Treez” Martinez. He is a Man on a Mission to let people finally realize that not only is he good at Baseball but at Football as well. For a side note – He just got 1st team all league for baseball and he is only a sophmore.
Am Keppel fan but why is their so much buzz on the new coach? I understand u can rebuild at Keppel just look at the what Houston has done with the baseball program.
MT. View also has the “Martinez Brothers”. Even tho they are not related but share the same last name these 3 guys are Beast on the defense. Yoary Martinez plays nose, Alfred Martinez plays LB, and Joshua Martinez plays LB and CB, I think Joshua also plays QB but is focusing more on defense this year . These 3 guys are only going to be juniors and they where all starters last year. These 3 are something to look out for.
From MVS Staff: We were assuming Josh would be back at QB, so we didn’t list him in the secondary. Thanks for the update.
Denzel Mitchell ?? Is he any help to the team ?? He fumbles like crazy …so my question is he getting better ?
El Monte is ready.
Edgar Heredia, Ruben Jimenez, Josh Wu, Bryan Luevano and Abel Barajas
