Burbank is looking for an electrified crowd Friday night against Alhambra
Good Evening!
Can somebody tell me the last time South Hills lost in the first round of the playoffs? It hasn’t happened this decade, did it happen in the 90’s?
I was driving today with the needle on my gas tank below the slash…Pop quiz hotshot; Do I go get more gas or try to get to the store first?
I went Belichick and got the first down and made it to Vons.
What are they going to do down at “The Ranch” if the Dons upset Schurr? I have visions of bandwagoners deluxe coming out of the wood work, declaring their undying devotion…
Speaking of upsets…Note to Burroughs: Four quarters…you need four quarters against Diamond Ranch…and a healthy Lucas Yanez…and Dalton Williams averaging four-yards a crack…and most importantly to FORGET ABOUT LAST WEEK!
I think La Canada can pull something down at Valley Christian.
It sucks to be Ronnie Brown right now…
And it can’t be too good to be a Raider fan knowing how much you have invested in the most expensive back up quarterback in the league, JaMarcus Russell.
San Marino has a 13-8 edge all time (see bottom of column) over Friday night’s first round opponent Rosemead. With Matt Koffler as HC Mead has won in 2000 and 2004 at Titan Stadium. They lost there in 2002 in Larry Hatley’s first year, but were given a victory by forfeit (the Mid Valley has never acknowledged).
The best game in recent memory came in 2001 when San Marino’s Jonathan Spencer hooked up with Jonathan Saul for a 36-yard touchdown with 1:38 to play. The score brought the Titans to within one at 21-20.
“I discussed it with my coaches,” said then SM HC Rich Enright. “We were all unanimous about going for it. If we score, we score. If not, what the hell, it’s only a pre-season game.”
Spencer found Robert Kelly in corner of the end zone for the deuce and subsequent 22-21 victory.
“Total breakdown,” said Koffler. “It was a total breakdown there on the two-pointer.”
The Panthers were their own worst enemy in the contest with seven drive killing penalties and two costly fumbles. One resulting in a San Marino touchdown when Michael Avila recovered Paul Sandoval’s fumble in the end zone for six.
If the NBA is actually considering retiring Michael Jordan’s number 23 universally…I think Temple City Naz should consider retiring my number 13 for several years of pounding up and down the tartan floor during the 1980’s.
On this date in 2005 Arroyo’s Sergio Leon caught two plus 60-yard bombs from Dominic Salmon and the Knights road to an easy 44-6 victory over Schurr…On the same night Rowland clubbed San Gabriel 49-0, and Charter Oak, behind 213 rushing yards from Brian Hunter, beat Bellflower 14-7.
And on this date in 1988 San Marino’s Mark Ukropina passed for two and ran for two in the Titans 28-19 victory over South Torrance. SM would go on to win CIF.
In Santa Monica, J.P. Phillips picked off a pass in the fourth quarter and returned 65-yards to give Muir a 22-15 first round win.
This just in: Jay Cutler has thrown another interception.
Of course while we believe Muir has a puncher’s chance against Charter Oak, remember the Chargers have perhaps the best football player around in A.J. Powell.
In last year’s upset over Santa Fe, Burbank scored its first post-season football victory in 80-years…I don’t think they’ll have to wait that long again…Alhambra is going to have to find a way to run the ball to beat the Bulldogs…Whatever happens The Bank needs fan support.
Stay thirsty my friends…
