    The Temple City game this coming Friday night should be a good test for Alhambra. It’ll be our home opener.
    South El Monte is way down from last year at this point; Rowland looked like it could be a decent team, but the Raiders have the misfortune of being in a league that includes Covina, Northview, and San Dimas.
    Alhambra’s defense and special teams have performed pretty well. The offense is a work in progress, and I know the guys will be working hard on it.

    Alhambra is an improved team from last year. I watched them play and their competition was absolutely horrible. Not sure if they can play with a decent team, only time will tell.
