Good Morning!
T-Minus-1 until “Mid Valley Classic”
Game Twenty-Three: September 13, 2002 at Temple City
“It’s Knight-Time in Temple City”
Arroyo’s 12-play 74-yard drive taking six minutes off the clock and ending with Anthony Olivas four-yard run set the pace in a 16-14 victory over the Rams.
Great defense, long drives, and strong doses of Olivas, who rushed 39-times for 192-yards and two scores, told the story.
Defensively? The Knights limited the Temple City offense to just eight-plays, three-yards , and zero first downs in the first half.
Desmond Reed did return a kick-off 89-yards for a touchdown to keep things close, but it was never close. Arroyo answered with another long drive (12-plays, 72-yards) that ended with a 33-yard field goal by Andres Ramos.
Later in the season CIF, because of a clerical error by the Arroyo administration forfeited the win to Temple City.
“It will always count as a win in our records,” Knights coach D.J. MacKinnon said. The Mid Valley agreed and never took it away from them.
Note to Trib-Star: Any time you need video we’re happy to oblige.
Think Hoover tonight in the upset over Sierra Vista…Think A.J. Pule and the Tornadoes snapping their 20-game losing streak, 34 when you remove a victory over Glendale in 2006.
In the Keith Jones era San Gabriel is 8-1 against South Pasadena.
I like football as much as the next guy (so I’ll move over and let you talk to the next guy), but I’m not real big on the Thursday night start to the NFL season…Maybe I’d feel a little bit better about it if I could stay home tonight and watch it.
Note to High School Public Address Announcers: When doing Thursday night contests remember that a good chunk of the attending crowd is TiVo-ing the NFL or college game and a live microphone does not give you permission to get diarrhea of the mouth and start blabbing scores.
Any thoughts for a new countdown on Saturday?
This may be heresy to some, but I’d much rather see the Dodgers lose the National League West to the Giants instead of the Rockies…
Hey Wilson, you change the game time you lose the writer…Sorry.
The Basketball Hall of Fame…talk about boring…whoa!
Has Michael Crabtree signed yet?
Covina comes to Rosemead on Friday looking for its first win against the Panthers since 1984. Last season Matt Koffler’s squad dropped a 50-bomb on the Colts.
“Mid Valley Classic”
Game Twenty-Four: September 12, 2003 at Arroyo
“Deltiempo City Brings Down The Knights”
The Rams raced to a 28-0 halftime lead in Jim Singiser’s debut as Arroyo head coach and held on for a 28-14 win.
“I don’t think our players got the message that the game started at seven and not seven-thirty,” said Singiser.
Keying the TC cause was quarterback Donny Deltiempo, who threw for one, ran for one and constantly evaded defenders. Kenji Morinaga rushed for 93-yards on 20-carries for a touchdown. Tommy Bullock scored on three-yard run in the first quarter. Again Mike Mooney praised his offensive line led by Joe Badero and Mike McKinney.
For the Knights Raul Ramirez did most of the damage rushing for 119-yards and two second half scores on 20-carries.
Complaint Department: Believe it or not we received this complaint: “You spelled Temple City wrong in the headline.”
Stay thirsty my friends…
