“The name is Bonds, James Bonds.”
To P Daddy, The Reason Charter Oak is Ranked Number 1 in D3 is Cathedral was moved up to D2. You can Thank the head of the CIFSS Glen Martinez (Salesian Grad) and St. Francis Jim Bonds who are members in The CIFSS Selection committee for Cathedral not being in D3.
@KnightKnight…always the put down…but you are in the position you are in and those 12 recruiters seem to say that you don’t know what the hell your talking about…instead of negativity why not wish him well and be done with it ….no one wants to hear about your D1 and NAIA experiences….you have nothing to back that up …you can say you did it all..we don’t know who you are…you just might be one sad jealous non football playing 💩 turd…who think he know it all but inreality couldn’t carry Babb’s jockey strap……..
@Estrada does nada…..you wish you could be in his position…to continue his education, to further his life experiences, to travel, meet people, and most importantly, not be someone like you…who’s only thrill in life is to be on this site and put athletes, teams and coaches down…….
@ Tpeterson I’m not always on this site so I must have missed those pics. It’s just All I read or hear about is Schurr or Cathedral or Arroyo in stories or photos. Here you have the No.1 seed in division 3 12-0 just went to Westlake and beat a very respectable program going away. They are in Covina & have been the top program in the SGV besides Amat. I guess I would like to see more coverage. But maybe if they win this week at Rancho Verde they’ll get some love!
I agree Maverick,
Downey, Paraclete, Charter Oak would all be great matchups against Cathedral, any match up between those four teams is a toss up.
@ Graveyard it wasn’t the coaching, Cathedral could have had Bill Belichick as their coach and they still would have been rolled by Upland, the Scotts are just a whole different animal this year. I did not see the game but I’m sure you must have got a glimpse of that Beast linebacker they have (#10), he is only a Sophomore too.
I am certainly not a South Hills fan, worked chains this year when they visited West Co and saw their coaches up close, pretty classless behavior was on display by both team and coaches, but I did pick them to beat Burbank, did not know they lost their QB R. J. Sterns, he was the key to that team. I would have picked Burbank if I knew he was out.
Estrada does nada, poor form buddy, give a high school kid a break! I hope Lance Babb proves you wrong and is successful in college and life.
Don’t get the chance to see Arroyo too much but I was hoping for back to back Titles for them, would have been a nice feel good story for Coach Singster.
Good Luck to Charter Oak, Covina, South El Monte and St. Francis
He is known for that doesn’t do nothing for them once they are done playing for him. Let’s see if he helps Romi out with his grades now cause he sure got help during the season. I’m willing to bet some churros he doesn’t
What a disappointing end to Schurr’s season. Undoubtedly a HUGE let down on what should have been a banner year for the Spartan’s.
All Arroyo haters can laugh and talk the crap you want… These boys worked their butts off and the coaching staff put in alot of time… Ya they aint the best but they sure did have a dam good run… Being undefeated till that point is still great…Missed opportunites cost us the game on Friday, yes it was disappointing and we got a tatse of how rancho mirage felt when they lost the championship… It was not a goos feeling and our seniors hurt the most… But it is what it is and its time to move on… Underclassmen need to work hard and push to be a better team… Seniors keep your heads up and no matter what the outcome is in the end you still got your CIF rings last year and NO ONE can ever take that or that feeling you all felt that day…
Agreed!!
Hopefully Ramos doesn’t do his traditional play’em then dump’em. He makes promises to parents, then turns his back to them when the season is over. Ramos,help your BG star graduate from SHS. You kept him there two years to play for you, now fulfill your promise. Don’t dump him to Vail, CDS or CIS!
Arroyo. LOL
maybe you should go back to D-12
Charter Oak, Downey and Paraclete and could hang with Cathedral.
Personally I think all private Schools should be put in their own divisions, will all the recruiting and paid tuition that goes on.
Isn’t CO in the Mid Valley Sports area of coverage? Yet no mention it seems there is a bias going on. Cathedral is in LA last time I checked yet MVS seems to be there school paper! Well CO had a great come from behind win at Westlake. Down 21-0 in the 1st qtr seeing the Westlake sidelines celebrate like the game was over. Yet CO never gave up even with bad calls all night & late flags on 3rd downs, bad spots on tackles the Chargers made there way back to win going away 39-28. We have a tough semifinal game with Rancho Verde they lots of speed. Hopefully with good prep will come out victorious! Go Chargers!
From T. Peterson: Yes CO is in our coverage area. We’ve covered several games for the chargers this year. In fact just last week we featured two CO players, in a picture for our “Game Night”. We’ve had many stories about Charter Oak this year. Not sure what you’re reading.
I agree @graveyard Upland is much bigger and faster then this D2 teams .
Cathedral would had Destroy D3 and If not for Upland staying at D2 . Cathedral could be in the Semifinals..
I’ve got guys to D1-NAIA. He would be a great fit at like a APU or even like a school where your boy Cantu went.
I doubt it they always blow it in the second round
Was at Disneyland and saw a Cathedral coach wearing his coaching jacket. Couldn’t help but yell and ask him how that L from Upland tasted lol glad they lost
@Maverick no one said they belong in D1. They are right where they belong in D2. They beat St. Francis (who is a top 3 team in D3) pretty handily, so they are well placed in D2. If anything, Upland belongs in D1. They blew out countless D2 teams and even beat Rancho who is a top 8 D1 team. Upland is probably the 5th best team in Southern Cali this year behind Mater Dei, Bosco, Cen10, and Mission Viejo. If not for Salter having in with CIF and crying for his team to get bumped down a division this year, then Cathedral is a semifinal team in D2.
He has over 12 offers! What qualifies you as a recruiter! Did you get any offers? I don’t think so! 12 schools believe he is D1! What you think is irrelevant! Night night….
It only takes one person to make it seem that Schurr likes to trash talk. In reality we are humble…
I wasn’t at the game but I heard about the meltdown of Cathedral football. If true the players are a reflection of the Coach, CLASSLESS FOOTBALL…
I’m so tired of hearing all year about the Cathedral hipe, have they ever won a CIF Championship?
Yes they beat St Francis and won League, but in no way do they belong in D1. Mater Dei, Bosco ,Centennial and many more would destroy them.
Another note they where beat this year by a public school.
Some of these private school admin have no clue. Cathedral staff should all be fired. Classless. Alemany fired a great coach two years ago and now he is winning titles at Paraclete.
Admin: hire class 1st. Forget the 7 on 7 jive turkeys
Why is BG even in this convo lol there not even relevant literally haven’t done anything at all its schurr and montebello in the almont thats it!
You must have not played the game. For you to talk bad about a young man earning a D1 scholarship! Doesn’t say to much of your character! Congrats Babb on the season you and the Spartans had. Wish you the best at the next level. You are one of the few to earn not given a scholarship….be proud you have earned it! Haters will hate it called being jealous!!!
All this trash talking from Schurr about BG, I don’t understand? Your head coach is a BG guy and your number 2 WR is a BG kid (both still live in Bell Gardens). Schurr had a good year, an under achieving year with the talent they had but still good. It was said on the blog in an earlier post, there is a lot of trash talking from Schurr people for a program that played one more week then BG. Again, it was only one more week. Do you hear that coughing, do you….thats your head coach and Defensive coordinator still choking from Friday night! Get them some water or something! Its okay, you’ll get use to it.
But like I said Ramos can’t win the big games that’s his calling card. Let’s see what he does with all his talent next year will if he can coach my guess is no.
Can we get confirmation about Elias or Oliva staying on top of the hill? My 8th grader has heard the youth are gonna do 7v7 and work outs soon???!?!?
Babb is no D1 guy, I’ve seen D1 guys. Shoot but if he gets the opportunity take it.
Well sorry to say but your garbage has beat you 3yrs in a row…. BUT THATS NONE OF MY BUSINESS!!!!
Like they say one man garbage is another mans treasure. Your treasure Ramos is our garbage see how that works.
CO, Covina, and SEM good luck this week and represent the valley. I was hoping that more teams would be playing, but this is the playoffs and only the good, vary good survive. All you coaches did a great job. Final four, not bad but go get the ring. A cif championship last forever and nobody can take that away.
“What others failed to do” and thats build a program.
8 league titles
CIF Championship
Semi-Final appearance.
Ramos runs a good program with Schurr kids. “If you can’t beat them join them”. You forget he ran a program down the way and did almost to nothing for 11+ years. Ramos is happy to be on the hill. No way would he be in the position he is in as a coach, If he would have stayed at BG. Support your amigo Mr. B but don’t bash other staffs good or bad that coached the mighty Spartans.
Spartans great season. Seniors thank you for the memories and good luck in all you do. To the underclass man…..follow the Spartan tradition. We will always have haters. Work hard. Belueve in the program. Ramos has done in 3 years what many have failed to do and that’s build a program.
@oiler nation/Friday knights …..,it has been great. A lot of good laughs and trash talking. All in fun my friends. I’ll probably only blog during big weeks going forward.
@MVS – continue to do what you do. What you do is great for HS sports. Not many of you around. We appreciate all you do for the programs and the recognition you give to the athletes. Good luck to all.
SPARTA OUT!!!!
Btw….BG your still garbage. Lol
Ohhh the pain…. never saw that coming at all. Arroyo Football means a lot to me and after the spoils of last season this is so tough. Kids worked so hard coaches put in so many hours and it all ended just like that. To the seniors, it was a great run tied for a championship your fresh year and won three out right your last three. Congratulations! To the Underclassmen let’s comeback next year stronger and better so that we don’t have to go through this again! Arroyo Football!
D1 ? Lol ok *rolls eyes * maybe he might be like his brother … play some college ball ..get let go then start smoking some herb and hit up the clubs … sounds about right
Schurr stinks so overrated the coaching staff are clowns. They got what they deserved. Their going to stink next year. Their numbers are low and losing a lot of seniors.
Peterson,
I wasn’t expecting someone to go out there. I just feel there should have been a story. Something to recap their season. Even though they underachieved, it was still a good season.
D1 kid is Babbs (seriously, you didn’t know that) as for Remigio being a waste at BG…Schurr played one more game then BG did. That isn’t saying much…
