    Why would the “big boys” want to play little old Arroyo?
    If Arroyo is so weak then what’s the big deal?
    As I’ve stated Arroyo played Division 3 THREE Hart. Name another team in a division close to ours who has the stones to play a team like that? I’ll wait…

    @FKnight
    Now I am sure you must have gone to Arroyo recently. Because anyone who knows the the old math and not the new math knows that 12 – 3 = 9 not 10. Really, we all get it. You must be Trumps brother or a Russian spy trying to misinform the American people about the real news @ MVS!

    You should ask your principal if you could have another chance at a home playoff game. When CIF moves you up after this next ring, it might take a while to get back to the playoffs when they put you into the Hacienda or hopefully the Del Rio or if there is a god the Palomares!! You need to be put in one of those leagues so you can fight and scratch for 4th place for a few decades. Then we won’t have to read your BS.

    @Mr: Objective HAHAHAHAHAHAH!
    Arroyo is afraid of picking up the phone when real legit teams call, you ever wonder why you only play same or lower division and the MVL?
    because he will never say yes to bog boys, and make no mistake , big boys want teams like arroyo ,but never are scheduled ,
    I wish this was a real news organization inn which they would call an interview and call out teams, that way you would hear that X teams offered a game to Arroyo or others and they said “no Thank You ” “Pass”

    Scheduling up is not scheduling Covina or Schurr. They are D11 and D12 teams. Good teams, but it’s not scheduling up. Playing Hart once will not cut it.
    I would love to see them schedule a CO, Glendora, South Hills, Claremont, Los Altos, etc. We all know Arroyo won’t do it. They want to save face. Sorry Knight, they can’t beat those teams. Don’t take it personal get back coach, they are on a different level.
    Enjoy your league championships, your gift D12 title and let it be. No need to “flash your ring around.” It just makes you look like a jack off and further proves you are the assistant to the assistant.

    Yes, Arroyo would lose to Glendora, Mayfair, Downey, and South Hills, Diamond Ranch, etc. However, it doesn’t mean they aren’t deserving of their ranking. These are just rankings. And for the record, make no mistake, Arroyo (Singiser) is absolutely not afraid to schedule tough opponents. Trust me, they’ll take on many formidable challengers. That I know.

    Great season last year. Congratulations. However, considering someone came on here to correct you on your “D2” miscalculation, I might as well clarify that Arroyo was not State “Runner up. ” They lost in the state regional final (semi final), not the state championship. The team whom ended Arroyo’s season lost in the state championship. Too bad for Arroyo they were too far away to return in time for the school’s first order of business. What was it, a dance, or something.

    SH would roll you guys. Don’t start with your crazy talk here. Keep beating TC, Covina, and SEM of the world. Different class of football, you guys playing Hart means nothing if you get steamrolled. SH played La Habra and it meant nothing because it was 40 or 50 to zero. enjoy your D12 ring because you deserved it, but stop saying you could play with these schools until you schedule them and beat them first. SH by 40 and LA by 20 over you guys

    what about a 2018 preseason schedule for Arroyo that has

    TC (rivalry game)
    La Serna or Downey
    Montebello or Schurr
    El Rancho or Los Altos

    Going into league 2-2 maybe wouldn’t be bad.

    On this list I believe Arroyo beats

    San Dimas
    Warren
    SEM, Schurr and Covina (done)
    Los Altos

    Arroyo would give game (2TDs close)
    Northview
    Mayfair
    Burbank
    South Hills

    Everyone else gets them by 3 plus TDs.

    This isn’t bashing Arroyo but give them D5 level skill guys with that staff and take take out Cathedral

    @Angelus fan. What’s wrong with kids working a Walmart? A job is a job and work is work. Typical cathedral person thinking his DELETED don’t stink and looks down at people for working at Walmart. You and D1 fan are the same person. Always thinking your above people that is not a private school. I have news for you jerk. Even private schools work at Walmart and even their parents do. Just like you think public school kids are less educated than private schools. And public schools have gangs and drugs when cathedral kids sell pills from their parents medicine cabinet. Your garbage Angelus trash. Go walk in traffic and collect your thoughts.

    Cathedral people come on here and in the famous works of Carbahol, aka D1 fan aka angelus chump you are all Idiots. Cathedrals fans famous lines to save face is call us to schedule a game. You all know dam well that’s not how it works. 1- Pearson never answers his phone. 2 -do you really think they care what you want. 3 – stop making assumptions that your playing a respectable schedule when your really not. You say we are playing Serra but that’s news to them. They would love to play you. And have tried but can’t fit it in when your playing Washington prep and Cantwell. Now your saying your playing Amat. Amat smashed Cathedral the 2 seasons they played them. It was an embarrassment. Stop talking about what a big time schedule your going to have until it happens. Until then live in your shame of a sorry preseason and stop beating your chest over stats on small time schools. I heard at home coming you handed out your 7 on 7 national championship rings.

    To Knight. Cathedral sends Kids to D1 College football. Arroyo sends kids to Walmart across the street from Arroyo. The only team you might beat from the Angelus league is Salesian, They are Horrible because all their studs checked out of School last year. Every other team would beat Arroyo with no problem.

    From what I heard Cathedral has Serra, Loyola and Amat on their Pre-season Schedule. They need 1 weak team maybe Arroyo.

  22. October 18, 2017 - 3:34 pm | Permalink

    Cathedral and Arroyo preseason and season schedule are very similar matter of fact I would say Arroyos is tougher. Here’s the problem or the punchline… Arroyo is D12 Cathedral is in Division 2 yes t-w-o! How does that prep you for La Habra or upland or REV or any of the schools that your gonna meet? If doesn’t you guys are about stats not rings. Phony offers over legitimacy! Plus, i believe If you combined the Angelus league and Mission Valley League together here would be you standings
    St. Francis
    Cathedral
    Arroyo
    South El Monte
    And you guys fill the in the between teams but for last place Marshall and Salesian would be a battle!
    Don’t talk like your great until you get yourself on of these things!!!

    Lol
    That’s not what you were saying after the game! Our boys fought! Earned respect on the field that day. And guess what even though we took an L that night, we learned something valuable as a team… that lesson was enough to propel us on to winning CIF and state runners up. Cathedral can you say that? No! Ahhhhh lol you dweebs are straight comedy. We play up you play down we win rings you get stats and btw you get laughed at by any and every other school in d4 and above.
    Oh and btw yes we can hang with and or beat South hills or Los Altos this year

    Look we all know you love your beloved team. You truly believe that Arroyo had SEM right where they wanted them the whole game. I am sure that Jim may still have ice packs on his cuticles, but a win is a win. I get it. However, when you brag and state something that is not fact and you are using information that is available and it appears that you are trying to make your team look better. It will come back and bite you where the sun doesn’t shine. Like now, you said Hart was in Division 2 in 2016, By the way, Hart was in Division 3, check Maxpreps next time, I did. I get it, ” If you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying!” Thats the Arroyo way!

    Yes, big fish. Yes, small pond. Be realistic get back coach.
    The reason we are comparing Arroyo to higher division teams is because you say they deserve to be ranked among them.
    Are you going to sit there and tell me they could beat Glendora, South Hills, Northview, Los Altos? They are ranked ahead of them.
    Beating up the MVL every year and getting the gift of being in D12 last year does not mean you are a top ten team in the valley. C’mon chain gang!

    Why are you comparing higher division teams to Arroyo? What about this list has you guys so hot and bothered. Arroyo is a big fish, we know how to win games. Go ask South El Monte or Schurr. Now, need I remind you guys we played Division 2 hart last year and fought like hell. We aren’t scared to schedule up! Charter oak plays down never up! Even though they are a bigger fish in a smaller pon. No criticism! The king of the All is Cathedral they play waaaaay down and their qb gets offers out of it lmfao!
