    @ FBFan: I believe that you mixed me up with RHL Fan, but that’s not too bad because I think he had a solid take. By the way, I just offered my own opinions below Tim Peterson’s post regarding the new conference setup for the Foothill Area.

    @Ron Vrooman,

    I’m not too sure about that guy. First, he openly whines about playing tougher competition and then he schedules 3 City section schools, and not even the upper echelon city schools either…
    It’s Monrovia we’re talking about here, not Bassett!!

    @FBFan, didn’t Monrovia’s current head coach/Athletic Director come from LA City Section? Maybe not such a surprise that he as AD has scheduled City section schools. It’s too bad as Monrovia used to like a good hard non-league schedule. You can see why he is against a merger with the Pacific League.

    Well Smith was WR coach with a year with Packers practice squad (Super Bowl year 2010) and a career in Arena League.
    The NFL thing sounds good , but typically doesn’t equate with high school success, particularly in a public school environment. Times have changed , and football doesn’t have the dominant spot on high school
    Campuses it once did .

    My guess is either something surfaced in background or there was a major conflict with administration about what both sides thought was clearly non negotiable.

    Do we want to know the reason for Smith’s canning at Ayala? Absolutely…but it’s not because we’re busy bodies; it’s because, like the National Enquirer always says, we just want to “stay in touch” with our fellow human beings.
