Teams aired it out at the Bonita Air Assault on Saturday!
(La Verne) – Diamond Ranch beat Upland 18-16 to win the championship at the Bonita Air Assault Saturday. The Panthers beat Valencia in the semis to advance while Upland knocked off Monrovia. Culver City beat Muir in the consolation final. Here’s a few shots.
LA Parent; I think the second string players need to prove they are as good or better. Real football will begin soon and the ‘hitting begins’. If I was a parent, which I was in the past, I would ‘sell’ my son to prove coaches made mistakes during summer ball. Wake them up. Best I think is to not put down coaches such as ‘they cannot win in the fall’
Sometimes the coaches catch a case of “ligma “ when it comes to our LA fans…
It’s pretty pathetic when we’re on here talking about parents rather than the players. But I’ll say this, LA parents are the worst. They just don’t get it, and probably never will. Coaches are going to do what they think is best for their program. Period. End of story. LA parents, if lil Jimmy ain’t cuttin’ it, go play baseball or golf, or whatever. Not everyone is meant to play football. It’s a unique sport. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with not being able to play football. But, there is something wrong with you lambasting the coaching staff about it. Just shut your mouth already.
Good statement LA parent. A little common sense. Kids new to varsity need reps.
Why are LA parents always complaining about playing time. Yes its time to practice no the coach will not put players on the field that don’t know the game well enough to make 1st team practice is where the kids practice.
Former Rosemead HC Matt Koffler has his son at Edison putting on a show at Battle at the Beach on Saturday. Cole Koffler 6’3’ 180lbs WR. Kids a stud. He caught two TDs against a pretty good Poly team and was a standout in the whole tournament.
Lots of talent out at this tournament for sure. All the transfer were with their new teams one kid is now with his 4th team in 3 years and showed up with his new squad Paraclete. Hopefully it’s his last stop and the kid can finally show if he’s worth the ink.
Diamond Ranch will win the Hacienda hands down. Heard their tough upfront as well as loaded athletically. With. Bechtel at Damien, DR should dominate the Hacienda next two years.
Muir will turn some heads. Not sure about names but one of their receivers is next lever no doubt!
Bonita has the answer at QB looks like the train will keep running
Arroyo got lambasted. Not a very good showing at all. I expected a bit more. Lacking athletically.
Just a couple of observations
One thing for certain is Los Altos parents don’t mess around. They ensure their kids get playing time. Mr Brown this comment isn’t just a question it’s his warning shot to you. Los Altos parents are straight ruthless when it comes to getting their kids on the field or removing coaches who interfere with that agenda.
Great shots!
Thanks for covering. I would not know the results without you.
Looks like Diamond Ranch reloaded and ready to take the hacienda
In all our 7 on 7 tournament or 4 ways we have the same guys on offense that are on defense. If we lose one guys it’s like losing two starters. We have the talent to play more than just 7 guys in the tournaments. How do you expect the backups to play when called upon if they get no work in? My kid plays a little but most of our kids don’t see the field. Isn’t the spring and summer to improve your team and get them ready for the fall? The 7 on 7 can’t be your be all end all. Why try to win every 7 on 7, is it because we can’t win in the fall and it keeps the parents of the coaches back? Let me know if I am wrong.
