Wow 20 years, where have you coached at?
Sorry to hear this story from all perspectives, hoping the young man is feeling better and you guys roll CO. It’s a different game now , and not sure if Summit player was head-hunting or just solid tacking …..let’s see #3 back in action soon !
Covina will be without #3 Abraham Perez he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance just before halftime with a concussion and neck injury I hope he is ok. He was hit in the head really bad by a Summit safety. It was deemed targeting and the player was tossed from the game. What a big blow for Covina he is a very good two-way player. Now when a player gets a concussion he is out 10 days. Rest up and we hope he will be back for the Semi-Finals.
Everyone from different area looks like juggernaut , heading downhill quick
I’ve only been coaching for 20 , and I didn’t want to overstate the case lol, but I’m sure you are correct!
Rio Hondo Prep just banged heads with an OC team that was far bigger than themselves and beat them 28 to 26. I will note that this team fields a team with only about 45 boys in the entire school grades 9 thru 12 and does it without a bunch transfers like many public and private schools for that matter.
Detached Observer/ ??? 40 years
Anonymous similar to El Monte this year as they give up 50 . Is this the first football playoff win for this staff Spathias has been with for over a decade?
Detached Onserver try 40 years
@ big boy Bobby
Did I hit where one lives ?
@ ?
Good take. Our top mvs/sgv teams ran into juggernauts nothing to hang their heads on.
PS: The MVS teams may have a shot in D8. There are no OC teams but 1 in the entire draw.
BA getting clobbered by a middle seeded team means BA slipping to a D3, 4 team if that. Top guys going to RC. Hagerty’s great pep talks can only go so far. The SGV has no power teams right now. The SF’s, BA’s and Damiens are finesse type teams. They cant bang heads. When the OC played MVS in the 1st round it was 7-1 with Warren the only winner and that was by 1 point. SGV relegated to D12-14 and hope they don’t have to play any OC teams
Alpha culture: apparently this means having a tenuous grasp on the English language and a confidence that stems from the spouting of sports cliches. I bet you always give 110% and lament the inability to find No Fear t shirts in xxxxl.
What’s the karma for NV? Lost in what double OT and their QB went down.
I get your point , but you lost some of the “zing” at the end . Charter Oak was 2-8 , third in a four team league thus not an automatic qualifier; there two wins are against non playoff teams . Yet they are in and on to second round . Why ? There were other .500 and above teams in left out
There are some good aspects to the new system , but creating Divisions after the end of season invites questions of propriety regarding both CIF and coaching motivation.
I have no drawbacks about a or any upper echelon programs in the sgv getting into the gauntlet with a questionable record……that’s the reward from the football gods for vigorous scheduling year in year out. Not for pop tart, tanking, beta schedules.
How about Northview? One and done, 2 years in a row. Now that’s karma. Great job Bonita, I do got to say Div 5 is tough for the Vikings.
@ Bottom Line and @Anonymous,
One other point I forgot to make, it that the new system penalizes teams that strive for excellence in the regular season. For example, last year Charter Oak goes 10-0 winning league outright and gets “rewarded” with a road game to Yorba Linda who is 10-0. Meanwhile, also last year as an example, Campbell Hall takes 3rd place in league out of a 4 team league and gets rewarded with a home game in division 11 as an at large while the 2nd place team gets a road game in division 10.
Contrast that with this year, and Charter Oak goes something like 3-7 takes first place in league and is an automatic qualifier.
Again, go figure.
The system needs tweeked.
@ bottom line
Strongly agree.
This lack of turnout and participation is a result of school culture and administration priorities and choices . The school is responsible ; Keppel
is happy to be a basketball school , but the product they put out in the football field is embarrassing , especially since it’s been this way for twenty years !
John’s burgers over Arry’s all day everyday.
Good stuff Cantwell !
First consideration is school size. OK. What division should a school with 2200 students be in. They should be in a pretty competitive division, yet Keppel can barely get 20 kids out in their whole program and they have well over 2000 kids. So school size is out!!!!
AGREED!!!
It’s happening next year in Orange County and SGV district !
Lancers to south oc next week…
Strictly business.
La Serna football !
Cardinals?
Slow your roll. You guys finally beat MHS for the first time since who knows when. Don’t be like the rest of the area and pound your chest for nothing. You got along way to go to be considered the best in the area. Focus on the next opponent because after this year you will be out of ammo.
Yeah cause some rich guy can make that happen?! Just sit back and enjoy some playoff football.
Anytime you have humans engaged in any endeavor, there is corruption. It happens in sports, politics, marriage and the job market. I’m saying that all things considered, the new system beats the old by a mile. I’m making the assumption that in the playoffs, nobody “tanks’…everybody plays their A-game, and look at the results: last night’s games were GREAT!
Get Back Coach….polish your ring extra hard tonight.
@Bottom Line,
The new system is seriously flawed and those flaws need to be addressed with a human element that takes those flaws into account. For example, it has opened the flood gates for coaches to entertain the idea of purposefully tanking in the regular season to drop ranking lowering their potential playoff divisions. It encourages transfers as you see teams with kids that become eligible right as league starts and they automatically qualify for playoff do to league standings. That breeds the very elements and environments that corruption can flourish in.
Most of all, it does not take into account the two most impactful pieces of the puzzle.
First, school size. The natural statistical fact that larger schools will by their very nature have more kids to field a team (simple math).
Second, private versus public school. California is like the only state in the country that makes no distinction between the two and has them playing against eachother (ex: 2 years ago, St. Francis versus Long Beach poly).
Fix the problems CIF. You can still use the ranking system to help seperate teams, while at the same time taking into account a small versus large school status both for public and private schools.
This is an easy fix and makes reasonable and logical sense.
The real question is, does @CIF have the character and common sense to make the right choice?
Time will tell….
If they use this system for playoffs why not make leagues based on the same ratings for next year. Only slight exception would be distance and would cause for adjustments. Easily done. Equal amount of teams in each league. Be great.
In division 2, Servite (power ranking 58.8) hosts LB Poly (60.3)…..in division 3, Warren (45.6) hosts Oak Hills (44.2)…..in division 4, Trabuco Hills (35.4) hosts La Serna (42.9)…..and in division 12, Santa Fe (-6.3) hosts Arrowhead Christian (-7.5).
As you can see, the power ratings are all within a few points of each other, except in the case of La Serna, which probably should have been put into division 3, but will have an easier ride through the postseason, probably because some rich guy wanted it that way.
Lol a young Div 13 school is the biggest disappointment huh? A team with no transfers. How bout the majority of the sgv getting bounced. Crazy the one or two people worried about sg on here. The real disappointment is a school full of transfers losing 1st round. How bout just Give props to bg, Santa Fe, Covina playing good football in the respective division with local kids
Damien accomplishments thus far….
1. Tough schedule
2. 1st round exit
3. Cool hype videos
4. No league championships
That’s pretty nice you have such high expectations for them. They are starting all underclassmen. They exceeded expectations after graduating their whole team last year.
Marantha didn’t fix their weakness from last year. Team is loaded with offensive talent. If you can’t stop the run you can’t win in the playoffs. That’s two years in a row they’ve been bounced because of run defense.
San Gabriel loss is the most disappointing IMO.
CO playing Covina next week! Should be some tailgating before an all Covina playoff. Can’t remember these 2 teams ever playing each other before.
Arroyo! Did Singiser and the old staff take the night off?
Once again Arroyo the biggest chokers
Congrats to 1st round Ramos. Another year no rings. Transfer game might get you a t shirt for league, but if you want to win a ring you need home grown talent.
Regardless of all the Schurr negativity, I do wish the QB a speedy and smooth recovery. Sucks when these kids get hurt.
you MHS homies please have a good take for once. all I hear from you clowns is Schurr sucks but yet the Oilers didn’t even make the playoff. look in the mirror next time before opening your mouth. looks like the Cardrnials of CSMH are the best program in Mokeybebllo anyways. shot out to their O line and the TB #5.they took mrnatha to the wood shed. hope the kid taken by ambulance from the field for Marntha is OK. The Well is rising!
It’s playoff football… anything can happen. Look at how many league champions lost in the first round.
The new system is in full effect, providing us with a slew of great games. Gone are the 62-0 wipeouts of the past; in are the nail-biters and overtime heartbreakers. Kudos to the Calpreps guys and their software.
Lol! Schurr bounced in first round again?? They run a joke of a program and now it shows again. All those transfers create all kinds of drama. IMO, they should get rid of Ramos and his clown coaches.
So much for Cantwell not being able to handle Maranatha. Where is the love for our RB?! Smh
Playoff Ramos strikes again, even with all those transfers, even with their 7 on 7 team playing since December of last year somehow someway find a way to lose to westfreakinminster. Catastrophic floods at mhs tonight from all the tears flowing down from “the hill”
Really Schurr? Another Dave Ramos choke job. I guess it’s not different up on the hill lol
