    That game has been played at Schurr. It cost them 8 or 9 player deemed to be ineligible because of a club coach and players that followed him.

    @?, no sir Ramon Juarez is a stand up guy. He’s the type of guy that will garner support from the administration and the community. He will get kids that are on campus to come put to play. He knows a thing go two about a thing or two. Excellent choice PIHI.

    Manny and Marcel at Nview are stand up guys and belong in education (anyone who knows them can attest). What I mean by education in that mentoring young men and or students in every way of life. I use to play for Manny (yes he used to be a football coach) so anyone with a half of a brain could decipher this guy Matt’s claim. Don’t you think a principal who supports athletics and use to be a football coach would want what’s best for his kids and community where he works ? Or we can possibly get to the real issue after the smoke and mirrors.
    okay let’s do it. Matt wasn’t hired because Manny is a BP guy , that pretty much tells you what time of character he has to blame other people for not getting what he wants. Excuses. Is that what’s best for an established place like NView who had been one of the better schools in the area getting kids out and having constant relevance programs. Matt is an extension of the me culture for some people that’s great. But in all honesty he is just over compensating for something as in probably not playing in hs or college. Guys who say I got hurt and couldn’t play in college are those same guys who were the first on the midnight train out of team because they found out players in college are as good as them and they actually had create character and work for it .Medicine has been pretty advanced for athletic rehab. If I need advice on where to google to find recruiters in college football for “connects” I’ll call Matt(recruiter change over is as common as turn over of used car salesmen). oh yes I have photo shoot coming up as well he can show me good angles and placement of my hands.

    Northview and the Covina School District dodged a big time bullet in making a wise decision to not hire Matt Villasenor (aka Dir of Rec at premium). Marcel is a nice guy who would have been taken advantage of had Matt V been on his staff. NHS has had kids “get out” to D1 schools without the help of agents. If you have talent the college coaches will find you especially, with social media being so useful.

    The reputation on this guy is finally catching up.

    Pioneer don’t do it again! You guys once had Sergio Villasenor (the dad) on your coaching staff. Always move forward.

    Pioneer nepotism. Grand dad hires himself. Too lazy to look for a coach? Thinks this is his retirement swan song? Pioneer players have really been conned and jipped on this one. Get that Matt guy. Couldn’t do any worse.

    Honestly who cares about the former SV coach? Dude is a pariah now because he can’t keep his mouth shut at any point in his life. His only claim to fame is having college contacts. Dude is a snake oil salesman and is his own worst enemy. #talktomeniceplzBS

    Some may count Juarez’s second stint with Pioneer football as the ultimate sign of collapse. I view this hire as a sign of the school’s dedication to the act of recycling, which, along with the use of proper pronouns and democratic party loyalty, are the virtues of our day.
