THE TEN (NEW)

(The TEN is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in (The TEN)

1. Arroyo knocks off Rancho Mirage 35-34 in overtime to win the CIF Division 12 title going for two in the first overtime and getting it.

2. USC jumped Colorado in the Playoff Selection Commitee poll and will now play Penn State in the Rose Bowl.

3. Sierra Canyon beat Corona Del Mar in double-overtime on a two point conversion to win 36-35 in the CIF Divsion IV title game.

4. UCLA traveled to Kentucky and Rupp Arena and knocked off #1 Kentucky 97-92.

5. It was a  Sophomore weekend as Ernesto Camacho (four total touchdowns) and Johnny Hawkins (four touchdown passes) led their teams to CIF titles.

6. Happy Birthday to Maranatha head coach Steve Bogan who happens to share is birthday with none other than Walt Disney.

7. Seattle Seahawk Earl Thomas breaks his leg during the 40-7 blowout win over Carolina.

8. On this day in 1970 Willie Ellison set a then NFL record of 247 yards rushing.

9. The Rams lost their third straight game and will have to win out to reach the “7-9 bolshoi” mark.

10. “We really don’t care if any team above division 6 would beat us because they aren’t going to get a chance to beat the Division 12 CIF champions. You can sit at home and cry that your team would beat us by 60, but as for me, I’ll be in La Jolla watching CIF CHAMPION ARROYO in the state playoff.” MVS commenter Still no respect.

    No disrespect here. Arroyo went out and got the best coaches they could buy and their sons to play. Its all good. Look what happened to Sierra Canyon and San Marino, and now possible Paraclete. You know they were from the crappy Mid-Valley Division when it had the Rio Hondo League, which was owned by Monrovia. Now maybe CIF will get rid of Arroyo and put them and SEM in the Rio Hondo and replace them with Keppel and Blair and make the Mission Valley League a true Division 13 league so those teams can have a chance for a playoff game in a sad division. But, truely it has been a great year guys.

    #10 Great Comment: I think there were some teams that got misplaced in the new division structure, but that is a small sacrifice compared to the success of Arroyo. Arroyo is the prime example of what the new divisions are all about. They won a championship however it was not handed to them, they had to fight for it and earn it. All those people that are criticizing their win are full of envy because their teams did not achieve equivalent success. Congratulations to Arroyo on well run race and good luck in state!!!

    Despite all the critics and haters! Arroyo did an outstanding job. To go through what they went through self imposed or otherwise was attribute to hard work and discipline. The entire coaching staff deserves so much credit for keeping that ship righted! Someone posted about how Jim Singiser treats his staff… spot on! He treats the with respect and reverence. So many head coaches treat their staff like day laborers as if they are lucky to be there. Not Jim! He understands how good Mac is and lets him be him. He understands what Leonardis does is especially important physical and mentally this is the big secret for arroyo success it’s a family. Even though he can run it like a dictatorship he knows the coaches would bail quickly that’s the biggest thing for success this season the word togetherness. Great job Jim glad you got it done! Now go win state
