@DRL
Slap on the wrist if anything. Your game predictions are crap too, lol. Whittier has no discipline and no future. Have a good life!
Lol! Now that’s funny
The difference is we aren’t claiming La Serna beat us with luck, we have beaten LS this decade, perhaps we will get blown out, but that’s why we play the game.
When I hear the words Whittier or Warren, I lose interest immediately. The thought that any division 5 program would have trouble with either of these teams is even crazier funny. Stay thirsty my friends.
Ranch18 & ERPops
We gotta big week this week. Why argue over a game that ER pulled out a win…winning is winning.
No one thought we’d be in this position to have a game for the league title. Let’s celebrate that. ER has a true shot at coming out victorious but I know it wont be an easy task. GO DONS!!!!
LMAO! A decade?!?! Haahahahah
Lucky? You haven’t beaten the ranch in a decade and that’s not due to luck…
You are correct about one thing, all I have to do is see Almont or Alhambra in the first sentence and I go back to watching my home theater big screen. Can’t get fired up over schools that play 10 divisions lower than La Serna and still have trouble winning games. That’s crazy funny.
Personal connections are the most important kind. Peace to all, and enjoy the remaining weeks of football.
@ErPops
Yes WE SHOULD HAVE BLOWN OUT MONTEBELLO… let’s not cupcake it either … I get the whole Atleast we won mentality but I’d rsther fix why we blew our cushion …. bc when a good team comes around and we do that … it’s gonna be a sad night
While I do thank Ron for coming to the rescue of a thread that was out of control, I don’t think the length of his post was sufficient to rid the group of all obnoxious parties. To achieve the right soporific effect, we need the man to drone on for a least a page or two, making a personal connection with every commenter. In other words, do an MVS filibuster. When guys like LS see the enormous reading task involved, they will take their short attention span elsewhere.
@TheRanch18 haha you’re too funny. You’re starting to sound like LS. All I said was you made it sound like we should have blown out Montebello. The facts are the facts we didn’t. Should of , could of but we didn’t. This tteam continues to grow and not look back. In reality the only game they would want another crack at is Pomona. But that too is in their rear view mirror. But I will agree to your last two paragraphs. They’re spot on. FYI not a bandwagon. I have been in the program for 30 years. Good luck to your future Don. Enjoy the game on Friday.
@ Call for Help & friends: It’s high school football; have fun with it, and remember that it’s not “life or death.”
As for essays, it appears that any comment on this site which is more than a couple of paragraphs in length could qualify as one. Whether short, long, or in-between, it’s the content that counts the most. Some topics take more than just a few words to address.
I hope everyone enjoys the final week of the regular season! May the athletes stay healthy and eligible.
@ER Pops, LMAO!!!!hahahahaah
lol… i dont represent ER? why bc im realistic? i speak on facts, not emotions. Lets unwrap them panties up bc you got them all knotted up full of emotions. lol…..
Facts are: “WE” (as in ER) jumped ahead on Montebello , California, & Bell Gardens….. then what happened? we blew our cushion! but we adjusted and came out with the W!
how is that bad mouthing ER, its facts.
Yes you are correct im not a parent of a ER player on THIS team… so for that reason in your opinion I dont represent ER Footbll ? LOL LMFAO hahahaahahahaha
you must be one of those BandWagon Parents who come and go… once your child leaves dont forget about us ok, mR die hard Er football… better yet since ive been to all your sons games, start next year and come to mine 🙂 lol ….
iF we jump ahead on LS, WE MUST keep the foot on gas pedal bc LS will adjust and come back with a vengeance!!!! and ill be realistic pops, we wont be able to get the W.
now what i love about this team is their RESILIENCE, PRIDE, and HEART ….. now that comes form good leadership from coaches and seniors…. this years seniors show much more and are leaving a larger impact than previous… win or lose vs LS…. as a Program we already won, this team was supposed to go 2-8 and they are sitting pretty at 7-2!!!!!!!!!!
PSA: LS is a joke and thank goodness we only have two more days to read his nonsense and then he’ll fade to black. News flash: No one cares about your BMW…. if it was an Audi… that’d be a different story haha.
Enjoy the game Friday as it well prep your team for the playoffs. You don’t want it to be a cake walk because if it is then you’ll go into playoffs and walk right back out with a first round L.
Go Don’s!
No you’re not, you don’t even drive a bmw you drive a 1996 Toyota 4 runner with missing caps, shut up already and show some class.
Hold on there, you are no one to be telling people they don’t represent ER, you are also misinterpreting theranch18 post, he’s not bad mouthing ER, he backs ER to the fullest, his boy can come into the ranch and break all kinds of records next year so let’s just relax a bit
These comments are getting heated, and the antidote is to have Ron Vrooman plop one of his essays right in the middle of it all. By the time we’re told that everyone’s entitled to his opinion, and to have a pleasant evening, everyone will either be asleep or on another site.
LS coaches were just reprimanded for yelling at opposing players and then boasting about it on Twitter. They are a joke and eventually it all comes to an end. FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE A RUDE AWAKENING.
Am I baiting you simpletons? You bet I’am. You ER parents and players read my stuff 24/7 and I’am in your heads like it or not. After a couple of sentence I own you. But practice hard with my words in your heads. It will make no difference to the outcome. The tiny ER parking lot will be empty by 8:20 pm Friday night. BTW don’t look for my 2019 white BMW, I’m taking a Uber town car.
@Ranch 18 you don’t represent ER football. I know you’re not a parent that has a kid on the team currently. If you were, you would know how this year’s team handles its business. True we had the lead In the Montebello game but in the end iwe had to pull out a victory. Our boys are preparing for an epic battle w La Serna that will require us to play our best ball of the season. There is no need to call out a team or speak of any of the games ER player this year . It’s been a one game at a time approach and nothing is changing this week.
Ron, Temple City and South Pas are not in rebuilding mode. They are in Temple City and South Pas mode. Sometimes they’re a little better, sometimes a little worse, but they pretty much are who they are all the time.
If you’re supposed to be off the boards…what are you doing commenting on the same damn board????
LS the only reason the ER faithful posts is to knock the numerous posts from LS down a notch from this high pedestal of “whittier” You and your other LS fake accounts are always on. knocking down ER as if your team is so far superior then all in the DRL. But Friday night ER is gonna give you a game and you’ll have us to thank for testing you before you go to the playoffs.
Is it so wrong to root for your team and think they’re favored to win. You do the same thing. Or wait, you probably think we should say things like “Oh well I hope we win, but ER has no chance against LS” “Oh I wish ER were as good as LS” like come on man, gimme a break. This whole thought process of how LS is so much better then everyone is getting old quick. Your tone is if ER fans are beneath you and their not.
So did coach George appoint commenter LS as the exception to his blogging ban? I don’t mind the trash-talk, just the hypocrisy.
What do you mean? Like barely beating Whittier?lol yea, good talk
You obviously haven’t been reading, some of your people post some ridiculous stuff baiting ER people on this board, somehow some way now you’re playing the game and posting away on here also.
@FBFan
bro are you serious??????? it was 16-0 in the first! ER was man handling… then like typical they blew the lead … did it against BG …. if you saw the game.. you can tell it should have been put away early… ER controlled the whole game ….. i said it in the beginng.. dont sleep on The Ranch
Ever notice El Rancho fans are all over the boards and La Serna fans are not? Coach George demands players and fans to stay off the boards. And the players and parents better do that or else. Not like El Rancho people that post about their wins over Little Sisters of the Poor. Lancers are focused and are way better off without that fired guy. But don’t stop El Rancho people. It is fun to read all the dirt about yourselves.
No one is taking LS lightly at all, they are still the top dog until someone knocks them down.
San Dimas Fanatic? What are you smoking in SD!! Mater Dei and Bosco pre-college teams. APU would have a hard time surviving the Trinity. LOL! Their is a difference between Man and Boys!It wouldn’t be close.
Cool your jets about the Whittier comparisons everyone. La Serna can say the same things about the Montebello comparison. ER needed a game saving tackle to beat Montebello while La Serna had a running clock by halftime. Just let the game play out.

@PB&J. Looking forward to a El Rancho-La Serna title game? Now that is ambitious. The Donna’s still have to get by Cal and Santa Fe. Yeah they beat Whittier but my scouts tell me Whittier gave that game away. Cal or Santa Fe will beat you guys, maybe both. If by some miracle it ends up a title game I’am very curious what the score prediction is from the other side of the tracks. Mine is 56-3 LS…………..at the half.
Sooooo….. what was that about CAL or Santa Fe beating ER???? Looks like my ambitions came to be and this Friday night is for the league title!!! You should be thanking us. Because now you’ll be tested before going into your divisions playoff run. And this test you might not win. Nothing guaranteed this Friday. Hell LS almost lost to Whittier last week hahaha. Wonder what your scout’s had to tell you on Saturday morning Lol. Mic drop….
Agreed, they are a well oiled machine and ER will need to play their best football to have a chance to win
La Serna WAS Division 3 for a reason…that reason is now coaching somewhere else. La Serna is now Division 5, lost to Santa Fe last year while Whittier played them tough and El Rancho MIGHT give them a game. Let us all understand something, La Serna is not the dominant program it once was. La Serna will lose First or Second Round and drop to Division 6. Sadly, all of the La Serna fans will be excited about this but we all can remember a time when the program use to strive for more. Sad…
@Anonymous, make no mistake, La Serna is NOT a terrible team. El Rancho will have it’s hands full with them and will need to play its “A” game in order to have a chance to beat them. La Serna is in division 5 for a reason. Should be a good game though. Both teams are well coached
I was thinking the same thing too. San Dimas ran Whittier off the field, I don’t understand. La Serna is terrible
Still trying to figure how a dynasty such as La Serna has to struggle for a last-second touchdown to beat WHITTIER. Explain that one first.
Lol @ LS, I see your reference to Tyrion. You’re right La Serna is not Cantwell or Santa Fe but judging from last Friday’s game you’re a lot closer ro Whittier. Watch your film clown
First off this game is no big deal to us. We have had plenty of these. Rancho is going to be gaga. I will comment more later but after watching film of Santa Fe game ER has Tyrion Lannister as their Quarterback. Well, he succeeds against a superior power only in films like Game of Thrones . We are not Cantwell or Santa Fe.
It will be a tough contest, that’s why we play the game. Good luck to both teams!
@ Almont League: I believe the league is actually somewhat better now, from top to bottom, than it was in 2010 and ’11, when only the top two teams made the playoffs.
However, I agree that there’s still a lot of room for improvement. I’ve been arguing for years that CIF should reconfigure the leagues in the San Gabriel Valley; it’s long overdue.
There are huge disparities in the quality of play within a number of the leagues, especially when it comes to football. (The Almont, Rio Hondo, and Mission Valley Leagues have been prime examples.)
@ Moorover: For the record, I was among the earliest skeptics concerning Alhambra’s number one ranking. (It was nice while it lasted, though.)
El Monte, with its powerhouse offense, is rightfully at the top now.
But, don’t give up on Alhambra just yet. We played what I’d call a “semi-tough” nonleague schedule, earning victories over two pretty good teams (South El Monte and L.A. Wilson) and another over a so-so Rowland squad.
Temple City and South Pasadena are both in rebuilding mode; I’ll give you that much.
Whether the Montebello Oilers are solid as a rock, or are doing it with smoke and mirrors, they’ll be league co-champions if they beat San Gabriel on Friday. We’ll have to give them some credit if they accomplish that.
If ER pulls off the upset and beats LS, they should have a featured thread. They’ve been underdogs all season minus Cantwell sacred heart. But the offense has been putting up numbers, and from the montebello game the defense finally is clicking on all cylinders. Making open tackles, defending passes. It’s gonna heavy weight bout type of game. I can’t wait!!
West Co needs to fire that head coach what a shame 3 wins in 2 years. Fire the whole staff but a few and start from scratch.
@Sports man… 95% of high school football teams would not survive the Trinity League. Trinity is not the standard but an outlier. Trinity teams can recruit and offer scholarships to make Mater Dei and Bosco pre-college teams. APU would have a hard time surviving the Trinity. This is the reason the great coach Bob Johnson refused to be grouped with those teams So please stop your superiority complex for teams that work with public money and use the limited resources available to them. Yes, I know what you may say, public high schools can recruit for new transfers. That may be true, but you tell me what a parent or kid may choose, a public high with limited resources or a private school with prestige and great resources? Its a simple decision.
Against a weak Duarte. Not impressed
Nogales is playing in a weak montview league. I think once playoffs start they are screwed.
Yeah, but Alhambra was ranked number ONE in D13 for a few weeks, and some commenters feels their preseason was fairly tough, and they did beat a Montebello team that’s solid as a rock. Add it all up and…well you’re right, one and done.
All playoff teams will lose first week of playoff. The league has never been so week.
Looking Sharp” LS will never survive in Trinity
Whittier exposed LS! Look for el rancho to capitalize and win league!
