Mixing it up at Maranatha

(Pasadena) – Maranatha, welcomed Workman, El Monte, Keppel, and Roosevelt to toss it around late Tuesday afternoon. “Just another boring passing scrimmage” one might say. Not hardly. In fact this is one of the reasons why I love passing league. You always come away with something new, something interesting, something you didn’t know before. For instance guess who’s the new quarterback at Keppel?

“Leadership by Example”

Where did Maranatha transfer Caleb Devine come from? How good will another Minuteman Xavier Boone become? Do you know what “Ductus Exemplo” means? It is etched on the back of El Monte’s practice shirts.  The answers are to these questions are former San Gabriel Matador Marqus Valenzuela, Pasadena High School, very good and it is Latin for “Leadership by Example”. Those are just a few of the jewels I came with on Tuesday.
