@LS
Once again another CLASSLESS! Comment way to rep your program. Get off your little brother’s coat tail doesn’t sound like you have ever suited up a day in your life.
Because LM is not the team it once was
San Dimas vs Covina next Thursday can’t wait!!!!
Yes it is in HS football as well.
Not even sure who Philly B is, but ER knows La Serna is going to be a monumental task, that’s why we play the game, we aren’t thinking of La Serna right now we’re just thinking of Cal in week 8.
3 very tough games left, ER will need an even better effort if they want to have a shot at this league title.
@PB: What kind of Annie Green Springs you been drinking cholo? Can’t wait for an LS-ER game? What a stupid joke. We just kicked Cal all over the field and Cal will beat you shrimps by 20. It will be over by the first quarter with our 2nd string. LOL!!. Don’t go all jumping bean crazy because you beat Whittier, what are they division 13? The Lancers play big boy football and you guys are still in your cheap strollers. Careful what you wish for.
Ron move on! Keep your comments to yourself. Your as bad as BG. Talking all this nonsense in previous weeks. Alhambra something needs to change on offense and defense. BG needs a coaching change. Things have to change
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. We don’t need to be fancy, we just need to make more plays, execute, and be stronger upfront. ER is looking good. Good win, let’s move on to Cal
@ Philly B
We shall see how the mighty ER stack up against the rest of the league.
There were adjustments in the 2nd half to give help to our corners. And what was open in the 1st half wasn’t in the 2nd. If you follow us this year we’re averaging almost 300 yards per game on the ground (with at least 4 different backs) getting quality touches per game. We scored on 8 of 10 possessions and it all starts up front with our O-line. It’s one thing to dominate in non-league but it’s another story to control a ball game in league. And that’s what our boys up front were able to do last night. The dominated the line of scrimmage and eventually wore Whittier down. But was most impressive was our DL and backers able to keep their QB and #29 at bay on the ground. No back breaking runs. Still plenty to work on. The Del Rio is still wide open.
There’s targeting in high school football? I knows it’s in college football, and now in the NFL. It’s in the high school rule book?
Checkmate
A little confused. The Cardinals had ER by about 6 inches to 8 inches on every matchup. Every time they put the ball up deep it was a TD or a PI penalty. EVERY TIME! I thought you only stop doing something when it ain’t working? After midway in the 3rd Whittier stopped and decided running and rolling to the sidelines was a better idea and the offense stalled. ER kept doing the same thing which was way different than what their no huddle usually does. Run and run with their QB who was not really a runner until last night, and attack the middle. They ran and ran on plays that should have been passes and ran because it kept working. They did not change to something fancier. Whittier looked better to me athletically but I rarely say this, they got out coached.
@chingon/maricon
You sound real sour there bud. Either way a second round appearance would be nice for both Montebello school.
Hard to fathom why Cathedral’s 42-10 win over La Mirada isn’t getting more notice. In this contest, the Phantoms did nothing less than establish themselves as THE team to beat in next spring’s passing tournaments.
All the Ganesha hype. Lol.
As much as I dislike Schurr and the shenanigans, its still brings me pleasure to see them beat Alhambra and BG and rep Montebello. Scary what could happen if all of our kids played at one school (MTB). May the recruiting begin..lol
The Almont goes to Montebello or schurr or the transfers your schools get every year. Transfers or not Montebello or Schurr won’t make it passed second round. Enjoy your weak league Championship… Lol
Are you even surprised. MONROVIA is the beast of the weak rio hondo. They’re going to turn san Marino into a pumpkin soon enough. I wish monrovia could play in another league….
I speak not to Vrooman in particular, but to MVS fans in general, so I urgently wish to ask this upstanding man’s forgiveness for any perceived slight. By way of healing the wound which may have been opened between us, let me say that the Moors can still score a good spot in the playoffs. They just need to arrive early enough to get those good seats near the fifty.
I LOVE IT!!!! Because everyone was all aboard riding that La Serna train HARD!!!! and I get it according to sources they have the most talent. But I have seen ER in years past and this year they just look good!!!! I’m excited for this team. Sadly I had to watch the massacre of Pasadena done by Burbank due to my obligations. But I can’t wait until ER plays LS
@Ron you should continue to beat that drum regarding poor officiating. I have only seen the officiating get worse in the SGV and I can tell you one thing, the officials don’t care one bit. They think they are the hardest working people on the field. They seem to forget they are paid (not a lot, but more than they should given how poor they are) to do a job. Poor and I would say targeted poor officiating is changing the outcomes of games. I was sent a video by a friend of a kid who was ejected for a hit. He should have not been ejected and there should not have been a flag. No helmet to helmet and no targeting. Shoulder to shoulder and the kid is thrown out by an official with a clear agenda. If schools made the nonsense official responses they get from the head of officials fans would go nuts.
What 5 transfers are you talking about “Ron” the website says 3 were cleared… why are you over exaggerating. As usual!
Looks like TC turned back into a pumpkin.
@Ron
Bro we got beat and that’s it. We had our chances and couldn’t close the deal. From the looks of it now Montebello is the team to beat for a chance at the Almont. Schurr was slightly better than we thought. I hope we can bounce back and get it done. Montebello step onto the field and may the best team win!
I think what all the Schurr comments were aimed towards, were the attack all week how you were 5-0 and that you were just gonna give it to us! Well let’s see, our freshman won 42-0 and JV won by 14 and now our varsity who consists of a whole lot of sophomores beat your “senior” base team! You said coaching but y’all got our coached and had a lot of help from the refs. Let’s be honest, even your faithful Ron knows it!
Wow Norwalk loses to Glenn, Norwalk is 0-8 Harrison has got to go!!!
Wow! Whittier was riding high just a few weeks ago! League play has humbled the cardinals every year. Anchoke and staff need to go.
First off hats off to Whittier for battling back and not hanging their heads after we went up 21-0. Our boys make no excuses. We play with what we have and we’re proud of the young men that battle each and every week. Underdog? That’s nothing new for the Ranch. Let’s continue to support our boys in a positive way because each league game is important in the Del Rio, plus we haven’t proved or earned anything yet.
Alhambra won’t beat BG, nor Montebello. Hey the Moors can still finish 7-3 and miss the playoffs……
When was the last Alhambra beat Schurr ? Schurr wins when it matters
Greetings Ron Vrooman,
You guys only had two plays. All Montebello has to do is take care of your run game. I suggest adding more plays. As for transfers only two are cleared. Its clear that you are annoyed that we won and it’s okay. Good luck in trying to get into playoffs. I think if you make playoffs then it’s a good season and especially with your preseason record. Again 5-1 is good. (Sarcasm)
It’s official back to back whoopings of Mt View and Gabrielino and nobody is touching us in Divison 10. #TheSwamp
They’re a D13 school who do you want them to schedule? South was 11-2, Wilson 6-6, South Pas 5-5, Rowland 5-5, TC 5-5… south is 4-3 and Wilson 5-1 right now. Learn how to win Schurr
Forgive me for sounding excited but all we were told is how we would be lucky to win 2 games all season. 1-0 in league is just 1-0 gotta play with the same intensity the next 3 games. Spare me the what if’s, if ER’s corners were taller, if ER doesn’t drop 2 kickoffs… there are no what ifs tho..
@ Anonymous: What game were you watching? Yeah, it looked like the Moors got away with offensive pass interference on one play, but we were subjected to horrible calls as well.
One case in point: The late hit out-of-bounds on our punter, who had just run for 10 yards on 4th-and-16 late in the first quarter. That personal foul should’ve given AHS a first down at the Schurr 33, but the officials incorrectly ruled it a dead-ball foul and awarded the ball to the Spartans after marking off the penalty yardage.
The officiating was terrible in general, and I’m sure that it adversely affected both sides. The refs were disorganized or disoriented much of the time; they were the worst crew we’ve seen so far this season.
@ No Moor: The Spartans played well tonight; I’m convinced that the five transfer players who became eligible this week helped them. At the very least, their getting reinforcements didn’t hurt. Having said that, Schurr has a tradition of putting it together for league play.
Two more takeaways from tonight’s game: 1) Nathaniel Palacios is a good quarterback for Schurr, and he has excellent receivers in Jeremiah Hartfield and Ray Whitney. 2) Running back Isaiah Contreras took a beating, but he kept right on going; he’s a tough kid.
By the way, the Moors will bounce back; we’ll be ready for Montebello. Our running game has to improve, and that’s one of the main things we’ll be working on next week.
Schurr and Alhambra both looked like playoff-caliber teams to me; don’t be surprised if both make it to the postseason. And, by all means, you’re welcome to try your condescending attitude on someone else.
Good win for the Dons but gloating is not a good look. Only a fumble at the Dons 1 ft. line by Whittier that rolled out in and out of the end zone for a touch back , rallied ER for the win. I like ER please don’t start sounding like some of the other blowhards on here.
Alhambra………new faces….same results.
Bonita beat Colony. It’s official. No one is touching the Bearcats in D-10
Hey Alhambra looks like we didn’t beat the Spartans. Maybe need to schedule up and not so much of a powder ouff schedule. Lucky the refs kept you in the game!
As we close the books on this year’s Alhambra season, I’d like to thank the team for their stellar play in preseason. Gosh, if only you guys could pick who you play in league, you’d probably roll through undefeated. Sometimes life isn’t fair.
Just want to say for all those who questioned where were all the athletes, why does ER suck in 7 on 7, ER will win only 2 games and lose out in the Del Rio, Whittier RB is going to run wild, ER has played no one, in pre season Whittier is more battle tester… y’all can suck it….
we got a lot of work to do, but at 5-2 with losses to Northview and Pomona 2 likely league champs, were sitting nicely with a shot at a playoff berth.
Almost championship still goes through Montebello schools.
Even though would’ve lost 7-0 it was a pleasure to see our local kids play.
What is wrong with west covina? I know they were a great program in the past!!! Did Maggori make that much of a difference???? They are getting blown out by teams!!!
I said I expected more points from Arcadia not that I said they should have ran the score up…there is a difference. That makes sense that they pulled everyone, good to see they showed class.
What is the point? Why would Arcadia put up more points? They beat Hoover by 40, should they have kept scoring and demoralize Hoover kids even more? I’m not by far an Arcadia fan, but they showed class. The CV game was much closer in score.
I was told Arcadia put up 40 on Hoover in 15 minutes and rather than call the game they ran th clock the rest of the way and pulled everyone. Could have been 100 – 0.
Wow I thought CV would beat Burroughs by more and also expected more points put up by Arcadia…..what happened ?
