Don’t we all sit behind a small screen and wrtie. I’ve never put down the players ar LA, they are kids. The problem is with their leader’s not them. You may not think I have any LA football knowledge. I have had 3 sons at LA my youngest is now a junior there. I was at Midnight Madness, where you? If you were you would have noticed the stands were almost empty. Traditionally the alumni are welcomed onto the field but last night they were all turned away.
@John Doe, you do realize that not all anonymous are the same guy right? Lol
But anyway to your point, I like how you like to hide behind “the kids” I haven’t read anyone speaking poorly about the kids. They’ve criticized your program and your coaching staff, that’s gonna happen. If you’re gonna spend your time reading what people say then you’re just easy bait….
@Anonymous Prime
Your new name is Anonymous Prime because you’re the all-knowing wise man of this blog. And the irony is that you don’t know anything about football, Los Altos football, life in general, manhood, etc…it’s too bad that you hide behind your little screen to criticize young men who are working hard to achieve a common goal. Get over yourself or get out of here, boy.
Arroyo is tough, and they’re a solid program! The problem Arroyo has is that for the first time they would have to get up and play 5 really good teams in a row, week after week it will catch up to them. For about the last 6 years, they usually play 1 really good team and/or one decent team. Then nothing again until they make playoffs. They got bumped up this year to a division they probably belong in. So no more cake walks for 5 weeks of league getting ready for playoffs. Now they would have to play 9 really good teams to get to finals. No way that’s happening. They havent played 9 really good teams in the last 5 years total
Because Aram never got around to see teams enough. Let’s be honest in his last 2 years working at Trib, how many saw him at practice for local schools? Or 7 on 7 games, or he couldnt even make it to the big tournaments. Come on man just show up for an hour and look around! But when it came time for the 2 minute drill he was there rambling on like he even knew what your team looked like, from a Maxpreps page. I know its prob extremely difficult to see every single team. However, he could’ve seen most of them. At least Escarcega shows up to these. Aram was too busy tweeting where he was eating lunch and how much money he was winning or losing on horse races. That’s the truth. Shame too because when he first started, he was great for the area. Towards the end, not so much
LA has brought in a couple guys on defense from StP and Salesian besides them who else do they have on defense? Midnight Madness is tonight so hopefully these guys bring it. This new Coach has alot riding on a successful season.
Spot on predictions LA should only beat Walnut and maybe WC
Los Altos fans are a joke thinking 3 sophomore WR’s that transferred in who have put in no work in pads will take them top top 3 in this league. Get real. LA HAS NO LINE! THEY WILL GET MAN HANDLED BY CO, DR, AND SH TAKE IT TO THE BANK!!! Also you have coach Long as your defensive coordinator, nuff said hahaha!
1. CO
2. DR
3. SH
4. LA
5. WC
6. Walnut
@ProudPapa does your son or grandson play for LA? You must have been at the Turnbull run in Saturday? If you cant feel the tension in the air you must be in denial.
What LA needs to realize is that even with similar talent with CO, SH, DR, the difference is coaching, Farrah, Bechtel, Martinez will run circles around the staff at LA. Like I said before, they’ll play for 4th place.
You are correct they’re going to surprise everyone! Everyone will say who are these kids and where did they come from!!!!
A good defense? Who is LA DC, enough said.
1. Here ye here ye….most teams that go outside their own programs do well ( as stated CO, SH, DR, and others like the most obvious, Colony,Upland, LA, CC, RC, Northview, private schools and on and on).
2. Arroyo would get beat up in the hacienda weekly by everyone. The only team they may get is Walnut, and depending on the kids that stay at WC instead of selling out to local teams, maybe arroyo could get WC depending on what I stated. As for the league they should try and step up into …they should try the Valle Vista league. It’s the next step up from that league they are in when you compare the VV to the Hacienda to the Palomares.
3. You could make an allstar squad from the MVL and they would get beat by DR, LA, and especially Co. Anyone on here who knows anything about football and the leagues and divisions….knows I am telling it like it is. Don’t ahte me for it. Take it from someone who has coached in all three leagues. No chance in the Hacienda nor Palomares. The VV is the next rung up. But hey maybe AHS can make another run in their new Div. I doubt it but maybe. They may have good staff but gotta have the kids and to be in those two leagues compared to the VV……the VV is where they should ask to go.
Good luck to them and all the teams as they try and give us all something to talk about.
Wow! Charter Oak beats Arroyo and SEM by at least 5 TD’s. South hills and Diamond Ranch by at least 3 TD’s. Los Altos by at least 2 TD’s. West Covina would be a toss up, there only for sure win would be Walnut. Cut it with all the nonsense. Uncle Coco, you sir are a joke for thinking otherwise. Unbelievable!lol… idiot
Can’t believe you just wrote, and believe South hills and Dranch would struggle in a win against Arroyo and SEM. lol YIKES
Ive been apart of this program awhile now and Alot of people are underestimating LA. Everyone thinks they only have to worry about #88. They have 3 sophomore WRs who will do some damage along with a Jr running back no one in this area knows about who is very shifty. Not to mention a good defense. I think LA will be ok and prove alot of nay sayers wrong. Good luck LA
…And speaking of SEM, I think it’s impressive what they do considering their enrollment numbers. 1200 kids total half of those are girls. That puts you at about 150 kids per class on campus to choose from. Not bad! Gallardo has done well.
@insider
Pure disrespectful to the the MVL at least the top two teams anyway. Let’s take last year for example. Charter Oaks wins by far but I think South Hills DRanch struggle but beat Arroyo and SEM by close margins. Los Altos probably loses to both MVL teams.
To say The JV teams win is an overstated JOKE! The only difference would be recruiting and depth. Which is probably one in the same. CO and SH programs would be terrible if they just played with local kids so they reach out and do it better than most programs could ever dream of. Los Altos is a top tier program when they get outside help but when they don’t they’re on par with Arroyo and SEM.
People keep underestimating LA thinking they only have #88 as a weapon, wait till you see the Jr who’s a running backs no knows about, also they have 3 sophomore WRs who will make a defense look silly, and not to mention they should have a very good defense.
Never count out the Conqs. They’re going to surprise people this year. They have a lot of talent, albeit young, but they definitely have talent. We shall see.
@Anonymous
I’m trying to figure out the method to your madness because it’s obvious
that you have a personal issue with LA Football. Why don’t you go to the MidValley Sports Golf blog, you might find a fellow joker there to buy your nonsense.
Why do you guys talk about Arroyo in this thread, let it go, go to the MVL thread to talk about them. We all know they would compete with WC and Walnut for last in this league.
*West Covina is not the team it used to be
LA Parent do you actually think you guys are going to win league. If a team shuts down #88 you guys are going to have trouble. Word around town is your program isn’t running as smoothly as you would like everyone to think.
Arroyo could not beat Los Altos last year in a passing tournament at Bonita when LA had everybody graduate the year before. Albeit LA staff was very good. Arroyo is where they belong in a terrible league with terrible teams.
Typical Arroyo Homer’s!!! Trying to make every thread about them. Let’s end this discussion right here. Charter Oaks JV team would win the MVL, and South Hills JV would finish 2nd. Arroyo couldn’t compete week in and week out in this league because the physical toll it would have on their team. Playing CO, South Hills, Diamond Ranch and West Covina would be physically be more than they could handle. They are fine were there at. A big fish in a very small pond.
Is the freshman quarterback still at diamond ranch, I believe he was #1
You are delusional.
Arroyo is a scrappy bunch of kids I wouldn’t doubt they can give LA a run for their money!
Charter oak, south Hills, diamond Ranch have some tough schedules ahead of them. Props to their HC’s for having the stones to schedule these games, This looks like the toughest league around.
This is supposed to be about Hacienda league. Why are all the posts about Arroyo? That is not our pond to swim in.
Arroyo would get their DELETED in if they were in the Hacienda!
It don’t work like that.
No way they can hang in this league. This is the toughest league in the valley. Arroyo won a D12 championship not a D5 championship. Big difference. Arroyo fan is myopic.
Here we go again. Arroyo wouldn’t win a game? How the hell did you guys know?
SEM played Walnut twice the last two years and blew them out twice by bigger margins than Hacienda league teams did, we beat SEM so do the math we would be in every game. !!!!
Arroyo would get smacked here.
Is it just me, but is James Escarega the dumbest sports reporter in the area. What I don’t get is why would they fire Aram and keep James. Please enlighten me.
Arroyo would only beat Walnut. If you take Walnut out and put Arroyo in than Arroyo goes 0-5. Arroyo beat SEM by one point and won a D12 championship, that’s not saying much. The D12 championship came because the field goal kicker slipped. Arroyo is not that good. They belong in the MVL.
Captain if Arroyo was in this league they would not stiff the playoffs!!! At least be realistic!!!!
This is the league Arroyo needs to be placed in.
