    C’mon this season was an abbreviated season with some schools not even playing football. Arroyo, El Monte the whole Mission Valley League did not even have football and other teams only played 2 or 3 games. Those schools would beat the sox off Ganisha. Yeah Ganisha was 4-0 but who did they play. I will tell you who they played. Nogales 0-4 with a new coach. La Puente 0-3 with a new coach. Bassett 1-4 with a new coach and Bassett put up 30 something on them. Garey, the school they barely fielded a team last year. It was like the 84 Olympic when the eastern block countries boycotted the games and Carl Lewis and Marylou won all those gold medals. It would have been a different story if the eastern block countries wouldn’t have boycotted the Olympic and it would have been different story if we played a whole ten games. Ganisha would had to play better teams.
