    Sierra Canyon is letting anybody in and taking care of their financial need’s. If you look at their basketball team they are loaded because they are offering everything free room & board. They are getting kids for football because again it’s free. Just like some Big time programs Two named mater dei & St. John Bosco that’s why their good every year.

    Most vets that have seen action have a strong aversion to speaking of their military duty. “You fought for our right to post”? Is that what you did really? I’am sure you brandish fake medals and talk the fake lingo but your sad commentary exposes you for what you are at every turn. In a previous post you even linked a proud soldier to being a proud lesbian. Please go away and stop humiliating the SC Community. We do have some fine people that really did serve but do not speak much less brag about fighting for the right to post. You are totally befouling the SC fan bases enjoyment of the season but perhaps that is your aim

    Well lets see we played a bunch of chumps . Starting in week 0 we played the #18 ranked in Utah well beat them 30-20. Then we had 2 easy games, Next up and easy school in Grace Brethren nope a really good physical team and we beat them 39-32 Then we were supposed to get man handled by Paso Robles hell they were to big and fast for us nope SC 50-36 next tough game up is the almighty Paraclete and Harrington unstoppable air attack and they just won the Division 6A state championship well look at the score SC35-7 nope no big boys yet wait until Playoffs then well see SC isn’t all there cracked up to be Lakewood high sorry SC 24-0 next up you can’t stop them against Redondo Union all respect to them they played a hell of a game but we won in triple OT next up the most respectful team we Have ever played Corona Del Mar true sportsman alike and I have so much respect for there players and staff unfortunately you did what you asked our coach to do and grow a pair well he grew a pair and went for a 2 point conversion and won the game. then its on to Big Bad La High who have kept teams scoreless throughout playoffs they were above us in Division 2 an have a huge offense and defensive line. Monsters and big boys but not tonight SC 20-6 La High averages 30= points a game still SC can’t play with the big boys so go on to state and play a chump school like Serra Ranked 32 in the state and very use to winning by double digits. So no we did start in 0 week and played until the last week and played big boys along the way and after all said and done say what you want but our kids will wear those Division 2A rings the rest of there lives not you. In regards to me having a son I do have a son who Im very proud of and he is very proud of his parents. In regards to the Proud Soldier comment I am allowed to say whatever I want in regard to that I was in the Army and deployed to Iraq with the 25th Infantry so I have even god given right to say Proud soldier because I fought for your right to post on here so don’t say crap about that one because unless you served you don’t know. so leave the military talk to someone who has earned that right 11Bravo high speed low drag and if you don’t know what that means the stay out and Golf Foxtrot Yankee

    @SC Parent; You truly are a miserable soul living through your sons accomplishments (if you really have one which I hope you don’t). Equating a Proud soldiers parent to you trying to pump up any so called deeds by a kid playing a game is indeed insane. So enjoy the free tuition (yeah right) because considering your communication skills and lack of any self esteem of your own, you need every penny you have just to buy a Taco Bell chalupa.

    My reading comprehension is on point. Regardless of your senior claim, SC is dirty. Players brought in illegally. Heavy recruiting well out of your area. Your school is so lame they even boast it in your printed program that 70-plus zip codes are represented at the school. So much for Chatsworth pride…oh wait, no is buying that nonsense in the valley.

    Good riddance, take your ponies, tell Ellinghouse to grow a pair and start playing real schools starting week 0 and we’ll see how really good you are. Oh thats right….that program would fall apart like a house of cards.

    2nd state title….yawn. The first one didn’t help you recruit and this one won’t either. I suspect their gonna open the checkbook this off-season because you have no one coming back.

    @ Pac5Scout let me here your acceptance to the Bet or as I called it challenge . Name me a school that had all seniors not some all remain on 1 team without any transfers in or players quitting in 4 years. Lastly there were no bragging words only someone saying they are PROUD . So i guess pride now is bragging Tell that to a Proud Soldier or a Proud Mom or a Proud Lesbian that there bragging, So enjoy your off Season while I enjoy my sons full tuition to college and His State Championship . Now thats a brag

    SC Parent: I’ll take that bet. You sound just like the president elect. Huge brags and exaggerations about what he was going to do but can’t PROVE anything. Plus in reality he is doing the opposite, kissing so many backsides he has gotten chapped lips. So your words and brags are meaningless to this community. Just more made up fairy tales, and you were right the first time. Take your fake show and hit the road.

    Sorry I had to post 1 more time to respond to Taco Bell Grande. My posts have not been BS. they have been fun and to be humorous, Joking that Im a writer for MVS and now my work is done . In regards to your comment about recruiting and transfers. What I stated that in an ERA of transfers in and out of schools which exist from Schools like Oaks Christian to that very heavily recruited Public school Calabasas and all other programs in between. That the group of Seniors that all came in as Freshman have remained . There was not 1 senior on that field on Saturday that transferred in and that of the 13 freshman that came in freshman year nobody transferred out. Thats what Im proud of . I challenge you Chalupa Supreme or Bell Taco or whatever your screen name is to find me a group of football players that played on a football team together and throughout 4 years nobody quit and nobody transferred in . Good Luck Grande Latte

    @ SC Parent…you’re so full of it. You guys are all about transfers and recruiting pop warner, hiring pop warner coaches to get kids, etc etc. That program as the rest of your athletics are bought and paid for. Thank god you’re done. No one cares to hear your b.s. anymore.

    @an honest man, if you believe that then you are a true moron. You voted for him because he’s so honest huh, no it’s because he’s saying what you think therefore you think it’s the truth. We will see if your man is make things better, I hope so for our children’s sake, but I highly doubt it.

    Pete & Joe: You guys really blew it in not signing SC Parent to a long term contract. I guess we will just have to put up with Anonymous.

    From Joe T.: He wanted three years with a fourth year as an option. We just weren’t ready to be locked in for so long. Plus I believe your contract is due later this spring.

    @ T. Peterson and @ Duane B. This will be my last article on MVS ,due to much delays in you getting back to me on an employment opportunity . Our season ended Saturday night as well as my sons High School career and it couldn’t have ended any better making History as the 7th team in California to go 16-0 . I am so honored to have watched these boys become young men . In an age of transfers in and out this group of Seniors , which we titled The Lucky 13 have stayed at Sierra Canyon there whole High school career. There was not 1 Senior on that field Saturday that was not there practicing back in June of 2013. And so it ended In Victory Formation with the QB taking a knee. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for My Son , The Lucky 13 and Sierra Canyon football as a whole. As for me I will continue to read Mid Valley Sports blogs and look forward to all the comments and rants and raves that go on in here. But as for me I will look for a writing opportunity elsewhere as MVS is not interested in me. I am signing off as SC Parent and from now on will be forever known as Anonymous. Thanks for your support . SC Parent

    I was going to write a reasoned response to Gretzky’s diddy on procrastination, but I think I’ll do that later.
