Several games across the Southland were either postponed or canceled Friday night due to weather conditions – namely lightning strikes that were considered too dangerous for players, coaches and fans alike.
Some of the games were ruled as finals even though the all four quarters weren’t completed if both coaches agreed.
Here are the games to be resumed Saturday as well as the current status.
Gabrielino at Rosemead – 10:30 a.m. – 7-0 Rosemead 2nd Qtr
Montebello at Schurr – 1:00 p.m. – 9-6 Schurr at Halftime
Arroyo vs El Monte at Baldwin Park – 3:00 p.m. – 8-0 El Monte 2nd Qtr
Bonita vs. Ayala at Don Lugo – 7:00 p.m. – 14-3 Ayala at Halftime
Burbank at Muir – 8:00 a.m. – 14-9 Muir at Halftime
California at El Rancho – 1:00p.m. – 28-14 El Rancho at Halftime
San Gabriel at Alhambra at Moor Field – Time TBD – No Score 1st Qtr
FINALS
Arcadia 38 Pasadena 14
Monrovia 42 La Canada 0
Northview 33 Covina 12
Yea we almost lost, we suck
Alhambra 48, San Gabriel 0.
This game was finished as a “Monday Night Special” after play was suspended on Friday evening due to hazardous weather conditions.
AHS is now in a four-way tie for first place in the Almont League at 2-1, and the Moors are 7-1 overall. Alhambra’s biggest game of the season will be on Friday night at Bell Gardens.
Cathedral 42-Crespi 0. This one was over early. The Phantoms played Their second string after the first Quarter and the rest of the game. Next up St. Francis .
Does Bonita get in D10 playoffs if they finish 2-3 in 5th place in the Palomares? In order to make it in CIF would likely have to push a 2nd or a good 3rd place team out?
Its not easy to leave your game face on the bedpost overnight
An extra nod to the players
Oi vey
Back in the day the lineman were all Irish.
With today’s passing of NBA owner and computer pioneer Paul Allen, I am reminded of a joke from Jay Leno. Leno was mentioning the marriage of Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, when he said: “those are two words you don’t want associated with your wedding night: Micro and Soft.”
I’m a Schurr graduate class of 88 I went to the game on Saturday and it was a great game played with a lot of pride from both sides. I thought it was great until things weren’t going Schurrs way man I left shaking my head and not proud of being an alumni. That coach from Schurr should be fired that situation could have got very ugly in a second. Let the kids play and at the end of the day it was a great game. Coaches should not ruin it.
Well the Don’s eked out another one. Cal was not very good this year so this win does not count for much. At least that is what the critics will say. It was a good win. The offensive line keeps blowing holes for our multiple backs especially in the 4th quarter. This version of El Rancho seems to get stronger in the 4th, the opposite of last year. A win next week against Santa Fe will assure a playoff spot. Go Don’s.
@the Dude, so now just making the playoffs is acceptable??? Hahahahaha, LA standards have really fallen in one year…
@The Dude, I was at that game. Los Altos turned the dial up. The better team came out an played and won that game. Now they have South Hills to face. South Hills is going to be a tough game.
Why was this comment even necessary
Calm it down a bit. CO is NOT the team it was last year! There was no reason LA shouldn’t have won. Everyone is beating CO this season. This week LA will get their a** handed to them. NO WAY LA BEATS SH. LA has 1 more win for them it will be against WC. I guarantee LA will not be chanting in their bus this week. On another note someone needs to step up and manage LA players, there is never a valid reason to be chanting F CO its ridiculous.
Los Altos should be very proud of beating a horrid “1 win” CO team that had a 3rd string QB, and their best lineman out with a broken leg. So proud that they marched out to the CO logo at center field and celebrated their huge accomplishment. Hilarious
Congrats to Montebello. Montebello executed 3rd and long 3 times. MHS did very well. They got the most 1st downs. Schurr offense is good and special teams. Defensively they are clueless…. Defense wins champions
How about those Conqs besting Charter Oak on Saturday. Nobody gave LA a chance and they went to CO and got the W. Now LA has to win one more and they likely qualify for the playoffs. Great job Conquerors!
What a game from both sides these kids played an incredible game but what our coaches did after the game showed no class take the loss and get over it so glad my son is done with this team and school after this year.
Not sure how carefully you threaded by saying these comments. Some truth to it yes. But when you characterize players and position based on race, that’s a very dicey road your walking on. You’ll probably piss a grip of bloggers off from that spill. Remember it’s 2018, gotta watch what you say. This was like if kanye commented about high school football…. just certain things you shouldn’t say.
When EM gets rings you could bet we wont have a Go Fund Me account to get ours.
If the Knights wouldn’t have practice Saturday morning for a Div 13 team, shows how scared they were!
We know it’s just another game but a big regular season game. Check the boards for who was doing all the talking the last few weeks now yous can’t take it?
When you finish 2nd in the worst league in the valley what does it say about your program. Thank you El Monte for putting the baby Knights right where they belong. I’m waiting for the excuses coming from all the Arroyo homers…
Lol it must suck that’s ur only go to line about not having a CIF championship, they beat arroyo and it wasn’t even close, looks like they are beatable… take a seat buddy
One thing I noticed watching so many games on Saturday and I tread carefully here, the Hispanic footballer is a perfect fit for the proto type aggressive high school player. Culturally they are macho,no fear types often raised that way by their fathers,brothers,uncles etc. Schools like Northview, Amat,South Hills, La Serna and up and comers El Rancho, Bell Gardens and El Monte are loaded with latino surnamed players. A cursory check reveals that top schools even with a smaller latino student population still have a ton of lunch pail latino players. The men that work in the trenches. The Big Ugly’s. the Hogs, the Animales, what ever nickname suits you. Those guys are like the transmission of a car. No trans no go. I see it at Bell Gardens, La Serna, Northview. South Hills, without those guys the wide outs, QB’s and runners are zip. All that said I see the SGV quickly catching up to the OC because the typical OC mom is more fearful of PC info than the Latino old man. If schools like El Rancho and Bell Gardens can keep the proto type latino football player to stay and play at home then I predict a very bright future. The one caveat is that the school must invest in quality coaching and equipment and the latino community needs to get more fired up in supporting these boys efforts. Every one knows about the tall well coached white QB’s and the blazing fast black skill position athletes but as I said the good teams all need a powerful Transmission to climb uphill. So if you have a kid that’s has been devouring your mexican home cooking for 12 years, 1st make sure he works hard in the classroom, 2nd goes to church and 3rd goes out for football. He is worth his weight in gold.
Crickets. What happened at these games? These boards get more comments during the 7 on 7 tournaments.
I guess that extra practice arroyo had that morning really didn’t make a difference…LOL
So the two top division 13 teams placed high in their leagues ( El Monte and Alhambra) I’m a matador but it’s good seeing programs turn it around , I hope both of these teams play each other.
PS. CIF needs to change these divisions ASAP they make no sense
Hey @Lion Roar.. is it a CIF Championship?? No>? Then shut up until you have one. El Monte has only beaten Arroyo a handful of times over the last 30 years.! Lions acting like they won the super bowl lol
Workman shocks Azusa 42-40!!! Who saw this coming???
Thank You El Monte. No More Friday Knights.
St. John Bosco just clobbered Mater Dei 41-18. Midway through the third quarter, a fan tweeted “Bosco is making MD look like a high school team.” Mean but funny.
Let’s have Alhambra play El Monte on Monday instead of San Gabriel. According to the division 13 poll, it should be a close game, right??!!
Crickets in Arroyo Town…
New Sheriff in the MVL….
So much for the pop warner offense being stopped…
Thank you El Monte. No more Friday Knight Idiot.
I went to see Schurr and Montebello great game. Schurr has #13 great athlete. Montebello had #22 offense #16 defense great athletes too. I sat on Schurr side and I was shocked when they started to chant snitcers to Montebello. Yes I know what happened everybody knows what happened. Bottom line who cares who snitched ? Even if Montebello did Schurr was found wrong for what the did. I don’t care what city your from or what football team your from wrong is wrong. Second of all I was leaving the teams were shaking hands when a Schurr coach flung his arm at a coach from Montebello. Man how terrible can your staff be from Schurr? As an ex coach for years I would have been mortified. Good job Montebello today clearly the best team won.
You guys know Friday Knight aka get back coach. He’s going to have a million excuses. Oh we’re young, we outcoached them but they have talent, blah, blah blah. Chain gang will go MIA or rest on his laurels and talk about the past.
To many people around this area praise the nights so much lol things are changing around here. There’s a new sheriff in town
And to those saying that Booth is the lions only player, all of their running backs scored today, Cueva had himself over 150 yards with 2 touchdowns I believe….
Hey FridayKnight I got something for you!!!
El Monte 38
Arroyo 14
Final
Arroyo 14
El Monte 38
Beginning of 4th
The trophy is back at Montebello for another year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
27-23 montebello final
Hats off to arcadia and Pasadena for hanging in there, persisting and finishing the game! Even though #NoApachesDown, PHS played their hearts out! 💯 💯
ABRUPT CHANGE OF PLAN: The Alhambra-San Gabriel game will be continued at Moor Field in Alhambra on MONDAY at 7 p.m.
If I play it right I can make 4 games today.!!!
The Alhambra-San Gabriel game is set to resume at Moor Field at 7:00 tonight.
Everyone loses if somebody gets killed or injured by a lightning strike.
The game between Alhambra and San Gabriel was restarted twice following delays, but the weather continued to worsen. The officials wisely suspended play after lightning flashes began to occur in the general vicinity of Moor Field.
Hopefully, the game will be resumed later today, or tonight. We’ll keep you posted.
Maranatha and Village Christian are picking up where they left off (I believe 7-7 in the 2nd quarter) at 11:00 at Maranatha.
Cathedral vs Crespi 6pm Monday at Cathedral.
The storm and postponements are tailor-made for the excuse-makers among us. Thus, EVERYONE would have won if it weren’t for the lightning.
ER vs Cal 1pm Sat – ER 28 Cal 14 at half
