    Thanks FBfan for the info. Where is the best site to go to for accurate info as Max Preps is fake news. Where did they get these roster names? From Russian hackers or what LOL.

    @ER

    While you’re probably right, I wouldn’t go off MaxPreps rosters. If you look carefully there are a lot of names on there twice. Cal-Hi has the same thing and has 199 on its roster, Schurr has 155 but Arroyo only has 18. I’m sure rosters aren’t legit until the season begins.

    That doesn’t include incoming freshmen, ER usually gets about 60-70 at the Frosh level so it could be 200+ players in the program this upcoming season.

    Don’t know how accurate the numbers are but Max Preps has The Ranch with 180 on their roster. Could include incoming frosh but still a good sign if anywhere near that number. A semi final run last year might have revived the ghosts of the past at ER.

    Saw Nogales throw against Bell Gardens, Baldwin Park and Arroyo a couple weeks ago. They are horrible, started at 11 they showed up at 11:15, they got torched by Bell Gardens and Arroyo.

    If we count all the gopher burrowings at Whittier Narrows, golfers are getting close to 100 holes for their $7.50.
