    Oh, and the Northview QB with the 2 brothers that are going to Fresno State.

    I’m sure Amat, Damien, and Muir has had to have some also. I think Muir had a DB that went to USC not too long ago.

    Serious question, how many guys has the SGV produced in the last 10-15 years? I know recently of these guys
    – there’s the Washington TE who played at Glendora who originally started at San Dimas
    – The El Monte running back
    – The La Serna safety. I believe LS also had a linebacker go to Colorado State
    – QB from CO
    – A receiver from CO
    – Matt Fink, QB from Glendora
    – Whittier running back who transferred to I believe Inglewood

    Who else? Lots of football players in the SGV, not very many who are D-1 (FBS D-1).

    Equally trustworthy is the report that Keppel has 25 D1 guys, and Hoover has 50.
