@ Spotrsdad
Regarding your comment on Arroyo’s chance of beating a “Top Twenty” team.

Arroyo would lose by at least 3td to everyone related below them and 5 tds to everyone rated above them. Glendora is rated way too low should be in the middle of the top 10.
You had the 3td spread correct
SD only lost 1 game the year they won CIF. It was the first game they played against Monrovia.
Damn dimas won the smudgepot so that’s all that really matters to them.
You guys know what I’m talking about.
I’ve been following LS football since the early 2000 and witness the rebuilding to a league powerhouse. There is a sense of pride we have in our coaches and players, to watch these young men grow into great players is truly special. Regarding transfers, you don’t see boys from other cities lining up to come to LS to play football, but if you want a case of LS transfers I have first hand experience. One of my good friend lives in East Whittier and for some reason sent his son to La Habra to play football, he was a good player but LH never gave him a chance. After a year or so of riding the bench he got frustrated and decided to come to LS, the School he should have been at, He worked hard and got the starting position as LB, that was the 2013 team. In the Championship game he did a great job on Norwalks Rashaad Penny and got his ring. (I forgot to mention he was only 5’10” 170) The thing some of you don’t understand is how LS plays, we are not overwhelming big, but we are fast and play as a unit, our offence is extremely discipline and the motion on offence is special.
The OC for San Gabriel Came from Covina High.
Whens the last time San Gabriel put up 41 pts Lol
@FBFan
Couldn’t agree with you more. Community pride is huge. You get to play for and infront of the people who know you best therefore everyone takes pride in the Teams success. Now maybe it doesn’t happen every year maybe you gotta wait a couple years in between good runs. But when they happen it’s magical. Take last season for the Knights, the entire valley was pulling for us to win it. Quite different from the La Mirada run where it was a collected group of talent who do not live in the city. El Monte kids will remember 2016 forever. Certainly different from Cathedrals annual collection of INDIVIDUALS.
Bell gardens is not a bad team. Beltran is making strides.
@Football Fan,
Sure players from outside the area will help a team win. But what’s the fun in that? What’s there to be proud of? If you want want that kind of situation, go to IMG Academy. I know it’s an age old argument but IMO HS football should be about community pride and looking to make hometown school proud. Players who want to play with their friends and coaches who take pride in taking a group of ordinary kids and making them extraordinary. While it may not get yo the publicity, Seems like that would be much more rewarding.
La Mirada will beat Norwalk! I have been hearing all of this 10-0 stuff from the people at Norwalk and I have news for them…you are losing to La Mirada and maybe Mayfair. I had to see them for myself, I thought their Bell Gardens game would be a blowout and I would be able to leave at halftime maybe mid-third quarter. Boy was I wrong, Norwalk could not and did not put Bell Gardens away, matter of fact with around 1:30 left in the game Bell Gardens had the ball and were driving down 26-20. Bell Gardens fumbled and Norwalk recovered and scored a late TD to seal the deal. But by no means did Norwalk blow Bell Gardens out like I assumed they would. Bell Gardens fought hard and gave them a game, Norwalk needs to cut the stupid penalties out and be a little more disciplined. They make these adjustments they have a shot. On a side note, Coach Beltran has scheduled a tough pre-season and is getting that program headed in the right direction. I was completely surprised by what I saw. They could make some noise in the Almont League. But, Norwalk fixes the little things they have a shot at a Suburban League Championship!
@Maverick
AS your Lancers do, you have to schedule up in preseason to prepare your team for league. LM’s roster hasn’t really been an issue until this season as evidenced by LM’s win over OLu in 2016. Keep in mind schedules are usually made a couple years in advance and some times.
In order to compete at higher levels you can not count on your local kids and you need to beef up your roster. This is a formula that both La Mirada and La Habra have used successfully in years past.
If La Serna is happy staying in D3 they can continue to do what they are doing. However, don’t think La Serna doesn’t get transfers.
Ontario a D12 team that hasn’t had a winning season in forever clobbered San Dimas. Wassup with that.?
I have nothing but respect for LM, I have family and friends that live in LM. I just don’t understand why they schedule these elite D1 teams to play, knowing their roster. We all know what LM and BP coaches were doing last year recruiting players from different cities. Regarding private schools it’s a whole different ball game!
I want to see teams truly represent players from their respected cities. In last years heartbreak loss, LS took LM to the limit all with local talent. Wishing LM best of luck in the future with the rebuilding process.
Cal beat cathedral city 42-3 Saturday night
They will not beat Norwalk.
I can clearly remember the 2011 season (CIF#2 San Gabriel) I believe when Monrovia lost three straight in pre season after a game one win over Glendora. San Dimas, Arcadia, South Hills. I guarantee nobody was calling for Maddox to be fired. Relax people it’s not the end of the world. Monrovia will bounce back if not it’s just no their season to do well. Don Lugo would smack most teams in the sgv trust me. Go Wildcats!
@Maverick
LM will be fine when league rolls around. They are playing the toughest schedule in the SGV and are playing teams that no other team in the SGV would even schedule. This with a team that lost 18 starters and had 4 starters out last night and playing a ton of sophs.
If the school admin doesn’t F up like they did and admit the kids who wanted in we would be having a different conversation.
But you to play the hand you are dealt.
They have taken their lumps but will still win league and will be pretty damn good next year.
to Air Attack, never mind me I became a Burr Bank Fan…..I was really thinking about attending their game last night but by the time I got there It was sold out. All 3 Burr Bank fans showed up wearing Green & White T-shirts in memory of game 1. You guys are just too great for my blood. Meanwhile I have been checking out at least 10 D1 players on Sat. that are ex-Wildcats or should I come over to Burr Bank and reminisce over some good old Bob Hope Music.
One interesting side note about the importance of freshmen football. El Rancho has 60 and Pomona could not field a team. Bodes well for the future.
Ocat are you serious?! We played 2 very good teams and beat the lowly cats in week 0. Stop it please. I’m pretty sure you got hammered last night, why are you spouting off??
Once again my point, ER hasn’t had the horses since the 2014 team graduated and that was a monster 2011 class which we have lacked up until this years freshmen class. Vinnie Lopez did well with Zepeda’s recruiting classes, Medrano is currently working with lopez limited classes, not taking anything away from the players there are some good kids, but not enough of them. There is absolutely no reason El Rancho has to go from 2011-2017 without a freshmen team over .500, but that’s how it happened..
A trend in high school and even college is higher scoring games. Offenses are harder to prepare for now and with so many teams running no hiddle offrnses, there will be more points because there are more plays in a game. 10 years ago a team averaging over 30 points a game was almost unheard of. Now it’s almost normal.
Throw in the fact that these guys can’t practice as long as they used to because of the concussion craze and it becomes last team with the ball wins. Football has pretty much become basketball on grass.
A year ago with All-CIF LB Garcia, ER gave up over 30 points a game and they were under .500. So maybe it is the scheme?
The Phantoms had most of their starters out of this game. Other than Bryce Young The Phantoms had most of Their subs starting. They are getting ready for Loyola next week. Good luck to all Teams.
Hold on there, idk if it’s a matter of scheme, the Outside LB playing on that right side which they kept exploiting is simply not that big of a kid, he has heart and does make plays but essentially he is a db playing OLB that took a year off last year, he has to make a play. Pomona had these monster WR’s on both sides so it was very hard for our DB’s to play the run. Last year we were blessed with having All-CIF James Garcia playing that outside spot, it’s hard to replace a kid like him. This senior class as freshmen went 2-8 so realistically we don’t have the horses yet however with the loaded freshmen class I would say that won’t be the case in a year or 2.
For me ER’s weakness was highlighted by Pomana’s one offensive play in OT. A simple run to the right that the back went in easily. Clearly the corners are not run stoppers and the backers more intent on blitzing than playing their lane and actually backing up. This all or nothing defense is not working. Norwalk showed that. Pomona proved it. Medrano came in as a defensive guru but he has fallen in love with offense and the bling that goes with it and forgot the defense. The Don’s led 35-21 at home in the 4th and then could not tackle consistently.
Best tweet of last night..
Monrovia down 42-0 in the Second Quarter!!!
Steve Ramirez Pasadena Preps : They look small and slow.
That didn’t take 140 characters to sum up your team.
It’s not the stars of the team fault they’re not getting the ball . For example Alfonso Castillo had only 5 carries coming into week 3 , Michael Washington had only 4 receptions on 7 attempts . It’s not these kids fault ,its the terrible coaching calls and negativity from the coaches . Heard from one of the kids that Chou does nothing but start problems and push limits . I feel bad for the kids who didn’t transfer it definitely ruined their senior years . Time to get the dudes the ball or put somebody else in .
Man I ask the same thing. Pomona looked dead in the water when it was 35-21 and then then we couldn’t make a play on the outside at all and let them take the W. Defense looked a lot better vs Norwalk a much better team. I’m sure Montebello will be a very difficult game for us.
I agree that Cathedral’s aim in this lopsided Lynwood meeting was merely to pad their stats, not to improve or fine tune anything. If they kept statistics for having no class, the Phantoms would have set a national record in this one.
Tough loss for Baldwin Park yesterday. Down 28-7 in the first half. They battled back to tie it only to allow a kick return to lose by 6! Great comeback though
Looks like the Kings of Cameron now wear green; Amat, again loses to a fellow division 1 foe. Hmmm…Los Altos dominated St. Paul. LA defense only gave up 1 TD. They have weapons on offense, not named Kody Olmos. How about sophomore WR Rene Zaldivar going off for 9 catches and 3 TDs…Looks Arroyo the real deal. Wow.
What is happening to the Ranch? They are allowing below average teams move the ball at will. They appear slow and their special teams are non existent. Their running back #9 seems to be one of the only bright spots. Linebacker play looks weak and the receivers lack toughness. I don’t see how they are going to stop Vital and K-Rod next week. Tapia is going to have a field day. We may score 50 points or more.
I went to the ER game last night. They have a really explosive offense, but they do not play defense. They gave up over 30 points a game a year ago and are on their way to give up even more this year. I’m not sure if it is personal, defensive scheme, bad coaching, or a combination of everything?
@ Anonymous
What about LM, so much for the recruiting masters. Let’s see how they do with local talent???
DON’T USE MY TAKES TO IGNORE YOUR TEAMS PROBLEMS. HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT YOUR TEAM. SINCE YOUR CONSTANTLY PUTTING YOUR FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH I CAN SEE THAT’S PRETTY DIFFICULT. THE REST OF YOU MOUTH BREATHERS WHO WANT TO COME AT ME, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME, HAVE A TAKE ABOUT THE GAMES, ITS MORE INTERESTING THAN CHEAP COMEBACKS
Anyone catch that 63-0 drubbing division 2 Cathedral put on D11 Lynwood tonight. What a battle aye! I hope we don’t have to watch another throw breakdown for Bryce Young.
This is equivalent to boxing when they have a Mike Tyson fight a Peter McNeely. Good job Phantoms that hope you got enough ink for the stat book! Oh and by the way LaSalle lost today to Cough cough Birmingham and A rebuilding Los Altos beat St Paul and guess what??? Division 13 Cantwell beat Salesian 34-32! Yea I said D13 Cantwell so much for the Mighty Angelus league! You still think everyone in the Angelus beats Arroyo by 40? Lmfao I think not! I think you put too much emphasis on stats too much emphasis on scores and not enough emphasis where it counts the most!!! That’s why Cathedral will never win anything meaningful!
JF Burbank, keep sucking your fingers…. Looks like Burrr Bank is still celebrating weak 0
DON’T FORGET DON LUGO 56 MDOWN 27. DONT KID YOURSELVES WITH THAT SCORE, IT WAS 49-13 AT ONE POINT. YOU KNOW WHAT, AS OF RIGHT NOW I’M AMENDING MY TAKE THAT THEY’LL PROBABLY WIN LEAGUE. WITH THAT D THEY HAVE NO SHOT. SAN MARINO WILL PUT 50 ON THEM AND RECLAIM THE LEAGUE TITLE. 2ND PLACE AIN’T TOO BAD IN THEIR DIVISION RIGHT? THEY CAN GET MATCHED UP WITH SOMEONE THEY CAN BEAT IN THE PLAYOFFS…MAYBE…PROBABLY NOT…NO CHANCE IN H.E. DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS
We need to do better cats. Defense is diplorable and the qbs are horrendous. With work maybe but damn Defense 40 + in the first half. More picks 6’s quarterbacks come on!! Keep the GD ball on the ground coaches. They aren’t a throwing team get that through your old hard heads! Star players need to step up or turn in their stars and offers! Time to start from scratch again. WE NEED TO DO BETTER!
