Whittier Christian QB Ryan Esslinger
(El Monte) – Whittier Christian, Arcadia and Gladstone were the latest schools to make their way to Arroyo on Thursday to chuck the ball around. You know the drill. Here’s a few notes and some shots…
Arcadia Transfer QB Joey Harmon is competing for the starting job
South Pasadena transfer Joey Harmon got in some reps for Arcadia. Zach Yee took most of the snaps early and Harmon came on later and threw against Arroyo. He seemed to making all the reads and looked confident throwing the ball. He certainly makes things interesting at Arcadia. Where Yee was definitely the guy before now the Apaches have a decision to make. Right now it’s a competition. We’ll probably never know the exact reason why Harmon transferred (do we ever about any transfers?) but word is that Harmon wasn’t too hip on South Pasadena’s run first offense.

Senior TE/DL Jonathan Hopkins (former TCA little leaguer -Red Sox) is looking to have a big year for Arcadia as is DE Joseph Haines (brother of Arcadia standout Robbie Haines – class of 2012.) Robbie Haines will be playing at Citrus College in the fall.
Arroyo QB Chaz Miller
Junior Ryan Esslinger is taking over at quarterback for the graduated Daniel Chacon at Whittier Christian. The Heralds will be without receiver Cody Bronkar for a few weeks. Bronkar sufferred a leg injury at combine and is in a soft cast. Bronkar recently received an offer from the Air Force Academy.

Nathan Coto and Chaz Miller are both still bucking for the starting quarterback job although Coto got most of the action Thursday and has emerged as the frontrunner. HC Jim Singiser likes his defense.

Moors – When I go to a passing league I don’t keep score. I just get a few shots and some information about the players from coaches etc. If it’s a big tournament like the Bonita Air Assault or SGV Shootout then I’ll report who won but as far as a four way etc.. no, It doesn’t make any sense. “Cause it’s a glorified practice” is absolutely right. It is just that – a glorified practice. I did see the Moors on Saturday out at Bellflower though and thought they looked pretty good.
I like seeing La Salle back on the TC schedule, but it is strange not opening against Arroyo. SG was week 3 for a long time, then Arcadia filled the slot, but sorry, I just can’t see the benefit in scheduling Hoover anywhere. SEM was a better opponent, only in the fact they gave TC an eye opener on toughening up their demeanor and not taking any SH@#%. Likely that the Apaches saw us as their Hoover, providing them no benefit in preparing for Pac Leauge play. Rosemead is a beneficial pre-league opponent for TC, tough up front – and they come out hot and ready to mix it up.
I am not sure when we will see a Temple City team that hits the field with blood in their eye again, but one can only hope such a Friday night will dawn soon. With Blair as RHL opener, the Rams should enjoy a 1-0 league debut…but guess you never know. They close league against the Wildcats.
My prediction is this is the last year Monrovia will be in the RHL.
Coach Dena
say it ain’t so….
Temple city is bad they have Hoover on there schedule instead of apaches. Lol you guys will win two or three games
EM will thump Arroyo they are weak!!!!!!
Alhambra sucks even more without Mendoza.

Blue Pride Baby!!!
Moors. Cause it’s passing league and nobody really keeps score except in tournament play, that’s why.
