Where do I apply for emhs job?
Winning games isn’t very important in the lower divisions, it’s about how those players are being developed and how familiar they will be with the system moving forward
You are correct Los Altos still has some talent available. Of course with the loss of Nevens and that senior class wont make things easy for the new coach. But the freshman class has some good athletes, and their JV had a great season. If their new coach can develop this young players then they can definitely compete in every game.
Regarding #4B; Lets get it straight , this kid had those stats on what 2-3 games because the rest of the games they got total 100Yards combined with the other QB(LOL), the 8 losses were also by the other QB, what would have happened if Alex start all the games? he started in only 2 and won them. lets not start on the WHY.
LA also has a 1st team All-League DB (also was 2nd team all SGV tribune and 2nd team all-league at WR) very dynamic athlete in Anthony Lopez. He had 5 rec TDs and returned 3 nits for TDs
Gil Vazquez returns. He was 1st team all league LB who had 130 tackles and ran a KO back for a TD vs Glendora
The JV team was 8-2, and was a last second TD away from beating CO and going 9-1
The Frosh tied with CO for league champs, and has a kid, who as a freshmen, is bigger and faster than Nevens was at the same age. So, the potential is there!
