@ Really , why South? because they are good this year? once in a decade for 2 years they come in 2nd or 3rd place?
same with El Monte?
Arroyo and Rosemead have typically been the better teams every year in MVL , that is it.
@Sports Dad
The Olympic league is a mess. One of the schools wanted to bail but Village put the squash on it. And then canceled their program.
Dude, relax, its high school football.
San Gabriel is in the Almont. This article is about the Rio Hondo! Stop being annoying! Since there are only 5 teams anyway, CIF gives 2 guaranteed spots in leagues with 5 or 4 teams. That does not mean they cannot get in with an at-large bid. One team did last year. So, historically 3-0 in league Monrovia #1, San Marino or South Pasadena 2-1 in league. The looser and Temple City are out.
They should send the Rams and Blair to Mission Valley and add Arroyo, Rosemead and South El Monte to the Rio. Both leagues would be better off, they each get 3 playoff spots and better league competition.
Hopefully they’re getting in touch with Olympic League teams. They also had a team cancel their season. Only problem it’s a 4 team League but I’m sure they could figure out something.
Yeah that would be cool , maybe some quotes from a call about the programs status
Blair football have pretty much pulled the plug on the season. Have you guys looked into them and see how the Rio Hondo league is dealing with one less team?
Did you make contact with SG coach Encinas? How about a picture?
