@liondog
You ever here the saying “all bark no bite”? No….. ok how about this one ” it’s best to let a sleeping giant lay”
Pshhh… What you smoking on? I would love to try it out.
El Monte will beat both SEM and Arroyo. League champs baby.Ground and Pound!!!
The only remedy is to add more more divisions. I’d go one further and put more emphasis on the releaguing process! Group teams every 4 years in Leagues within the division they are in and try to do it where geography isn’t to big of a detriment.
Lets not be so quick to look down our noses at D13 D12 and lower division efforts. There are 84 teams in D13 so some 8-2 teams still may not get one of the 16 playoff spots. To me it is very interesting to watch these teams play there hearts out. There efforts do not go unnoticed and they are happily not under reported on this site at least. In D1 thru D5 they have 18 teams, everybody gets in but 2. Where’s the fun in that? In D13 68 teams don’t get in. Its a huge struggle for these teams to go dancing. And a state run like Arroyo had last year in the 44 team D12. That’s GREAT!!
Relax… division 12. Beat 2 subpar teams. We have alot of work to do. Let’s work at a league title, than make a ton in playoffs. Good start. Beat 2 teams we should have. Good job OC and DC… Keep it up.
La Sallie is next! They don’t want it !
You can stick to your opinion, too. Just let the season play out, and we’ll see who’s right.
Opposing defenders who ignore South El Monte quarterback Daniel Olmos will be doing so at their own peril; he looked like a decent dual threat as a runner and passer. (Olmos still needs work as a passer, but at least the Eagles are throwing the ball more.)
South El Monte also has a placekicker named Gaspar Beltran who might help win a game or two. He booted a 33-yard field goal and was 3/3 on PAT’s in the opener at Alhambra. Not a bad way to start.
Oh, by the way, that “horrible” defense of South El Monte’s just recorded a shutout against La Puente. Many of us know that La Puente’s football team has been down for a few seasons, but it looks like the Eagles are making progress on “D.”
Frank Gallardo and his staff must be doing something right, in view of the fact that the Eagles have gone 13-2 since the beginning of last season.
Have a nice weekend, sir.
Like I said, South El Monte has a good team. The Arroyo Knights are going to have their hands full against SEM this season, barring any key injuries for the Eagles.
This blog should be about football & giving credit to uprising schools/teams and supporting the young men with potential in hopes to see them to make it to the next level instead we got bitter men acting liking 12 year olds commenting about coaches. Someone’s ego took a beating last night.. You mad bro?!?
Wow, really? How many points has Garfield given up in their first 2 games vs. Below average southern section teams? Stick to city section. THE TOP OF THE HILL IS FOR REAL!!!!
Norwalk is legit… very good class along with Penny at the helm…
St.Paul definitely overrated. Just look at them.
LM is facing big dawgs they’ll most likely run through league unless Norwalk has something to say about it.
La Serbs is always gonna be a top 5 team in the division, idk how they do it.
I believe Norwalk is really underrated they have a group of seniors that went 9-1 as freshmen only loss to Bosco in a close game. Four of those seniors are four year varsity guys.
South might be a bit overrated but then again with Mooney on staff they could just be getting started.
Schurr is overrated, just don’t see it in them to make a run at anything they lose two Bello by at least two scores and maybe a second round stop.
Yes, options abound for parking at Cathedral: you can leave your wheels on Broadway, and then pay for new wheels after your ride gets stripped or ripped by neighborhood dismantlers, or you can leave your ride with the parking attendant down the street for a mere $20 per minute, then perform a virtual Bataan Death March walking to and from Phantom land in today’s heat. Special thanks to Angelis for the tips.
Alphadog…wholeheartedly believe what your saying in regards to humility and it’s reflection, the debauchery that is the coaching staff at Rosemead is a trifle same and resonates of such, can’t win games using only same 5 plays.
Come on…. if if if… it was over the moment ER got the ball in the 2nd half.
Don’t think any less of RZ, back when he was at the ranch 11 players would show up to practice then on Friday the ones who didn’t show up played the whole game. Many publications the WDN etc were fooled by their Semi appearance which only happened because of the new CIF playoff rules otherwise it would have been a decade with no playoffs. The best kid at SP isn’t getting the rock because he’s Mexican. All you Whittier, Pico, Montebello, Norwalk etc kids keep being fools and paying so much money for that s**thole, Correction all your parents are the fools you just do what they tell you.
Enough of this we let one slip away crap, El Rancho sleep walked in and it took almost the whole 1st half to wake up, once they woke up it was a pounding.
Are South El Monte, Schurr and Norwalk under-rated?
Are La Mirada, La Serna and St.Paul over rated?
Last year El Rancho beat us 67-12. This year we had them 20-7 and if we don’t give them a hail mary touchdown in the final seconds of the first half I believe we win this game easily. That TD gave El Rancho the light at the end of the tunnel and they ran thru it. We have another tough game against Norwalk but we are clearly better.
There are plenty parking spaces on no. Broadway. There is also a parking structure in Chinatown. Haters will be hatets.
By way of public service, I wish to inform interested parties that La Serna will play Fullerton at 7pm, over at La Habra High. This game doesn’t carry the interest of last week’s La Costa Canyon contest, but I feel that the kids work hard enough to deserve having the game’s time and place mentioned.
For those who just read commenter Angelis bubbling over about Texas A&M practicing on Cathedral’s field, you won’t have much luck trying to go watch. You see, when you drive your car anywhere in SoCal, your destination has to have a place to park your wheels, and Cathedral has MAYBE 20 spaces, not counting the theft and vandalism zone on Broadway.
Montebello beat St Paulie girls. WOW!!!!!! Hey just my opinion when you walk on to another field and disrespect (or try) to disprespect the
other program with your silly antics, YOU HAVE TO WIN!!! Coach remember you are playing Montebello, there is nothing to be proud of that fact. St Paul was playing the likes of LB Poly, Rancho, Amat ETC… so before you pound your chest and act like your doing something special you must take a bite of the humble pie served by your buddy Pete and those Montebello Oilers! Gotta love it….oh and coach your false humility is noticeable from the top row. Attitude is a reflection from YOUR leadership.
The Phantoms were on fire last night vs. Acadia. Q.b Bryce Young has 12 Red’s on two games. Another note Texas A&M Football Team is Practacing at Cathedral Today for their up coming game against UCLA.
Congrats to Coach Pete and his team!
The game wasn’t as close as the score indicated. Total control from the very beginning. Two late scores by StPaul and this is a blowout. SP came to our field and acted like they owned it. Nope! They got smashed in the mouth!! I think the coach has zero control over the kids. Not the SP of old . Lots of quitting and arguing amongst each other.
Montebello just moved ahead of SP in the football category. Great job MHS…
Man BG let one slip away, ER good job you didn’t give up. Thats what the black and blue game should be a hard fought hard hitting game. Love the respect after the game no jumping up and down like they won the super bowl just walked out with their head up high. BG you have nothing to be down about. Yes you lost the game but gained respect and that’s big.
At least Alhambra didn’t lose this week
I’m not a football dad I’m just a high school football guy who goes to a lot of the El Rancho games (graduated from the Ranch many years ago). I just want to say a few things about the ER vs. BG game, you can see El Rancho is headed in the correct direction, good adjustments and the kids never quit. Second, if you went to the game last year (I don’t remember the score but it was ugly) and went last night, I don’t know what Beltran and his staff has done over the off season but Holly cow. Bell Gardens you got yourself the right man and staff, you might not have won the game but you are going to win a lot of games in the near future. Bell Gardens is going to be scary if they stay the course.
Very happy to hear Pete Gonzales, winner of a meaningful CIF crown at St. Paul, was able to upend the current lower-division group from his former place of employment. With any luck, the Oilers will soar to new heights this season and deliver the jewelry again.
How about those Conqs tonight?
Walnut beat Dbar! What?
I saw Estrada run from one end of the sideline to the other end of the sideline super fast …. then 5 mins later , he was sitting on bench getting examined by the training for shortness of breath/dizziness/ numbness …
I’m really concerned
Hey G bulldogs stay off the blogs!! You guys blow!!!!
IS THAT YOUR TAKE? COMMENT ON THE GAMES NOT ME BORRACHO.

Someone escaped from the psych ward and didn’t take his meds today. All capital letters really? What did Chou do to you not start you when you played for him. Simmer down bud.
Hell yea!!! Love it, Montebello putting in straight work!
ER down 20-7 late in the 1st half with Bell Gardens just flat out out playing the Dons on both sides of the ball. The Dons were toast. At half time the Dons stayed at the Southern end zone while the coaches huddled. Something happened because the Dons started at last to move the ball. There were plays being made all around but the inside running of Marcos Weeks loosened things up allowing Don receivers to open up. Big ups to coach Beltran. Bell Gardens came to play and wound up just a little short
YOU SUCK AND YOUR SORRY TEAM SUCKS BECAUSE THEY HIRED A COACH WHO’S ARROGANT AND THINKS HE’S SOME SORT OF GENIUS. HE AIN’T YOU CLOWN AND HOPEFULLY THE REST OF THE KITTY FANS ARE BECOMING AWARE OF THAT. LEAVE ME ALONE POPS NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR POSITIVE TAKES THAT TRY TO BURY THE TRUE REALITY OF THIS DUMPSTER FIRE.
Great game both teams played hard , You’re an idiot. The freshman QB came of age and you sit here and bash some high school kids. I hope you’re an high School kid because if you’re not you’re straight up pathetic!

WELL AT LEAST THEY SHOWED UP FOR A HALF ON O AS OPPOSED TO NOT SHOWING UP AT ALL LAST WEEK. LANCERS STRUGGLED TO GET 10 VS ARCADIA AND THE BEST MEDICINE FOR THEIR OFFENSE WAS THE MILDCATS D. ITS 2 STEPS BACK LAST WEEK AND ANOTHER 12 STEPS THIS WEEK ON THAT SIDE OF THE BALL.
