Kick it!
You know, even as a relic from the 1970’s, I never understood or felt comfortable with the word “boogie”…Not at all…
The awards keep coming to El Monte pitch and catch duo Brandon Martinez and Abel Barajas. Martinez was named first team All-State and Barajas second team All-State.
Next Add La Mirada: Wide receiver Dallis [...]

Mid Valley Sports: All Mid-Valley Division Football Team 2012

These bookends (RT) Matt Norman & (LT) Isaac Miravet were keys to M-Town’s third consecutive CIF title.
(We’ve said it before. No second team, no third team, and we don’t make someone an MVP to move them up and then slide someone else into their position. Lot of debate. In the end we realize we’ve made [...]

The Peterson Principle 9/10/12

Tim Peterson, Arroyo, circa 1979
El Monte isn’t going to have a hard time scoring against anybody. You get the feeling that Brandon Martinez is going to get the ball in the endzone, throwing or passing or any other way every time he touches the ball.
I don’t remember in recent years a quarterback being that fast. [...]

The Peterson Principle 8/6/12

Tim Peterson and some wierd looking hippie dude like the Dodgers
I didn’t know picking La Mirada as the number one team in the Southeast Division would create such a stir. Aren’t we still in August? Isn’t Zero Week still three weeks away? I mean it’s not like we tabbed Lynwood.
Apparently the crime that we committed [...]

Kick it!
Just for illumination remember that Arcadia has Jake Medel coming back at running back…
…And Monrovia has everybody coming back in 2012.
Last Add M-Town: Tim Peterson’s prediction that the Wildcats would run the table in 2011 was premature…I believe they can run the table this fall.
Quick, somebody needs to get the Arcadia baseball team [...]

The Peterson Principle 3/26/12

Tim Peterson
After all is said and done at the View…it’s Victor Ambruso. It wasn’t the slam dunk like we thought it would be but after several interviews with candidates, declines and even a reposting of the position On the CIF website, it came full circle and Ambruso landed the gig.
Considering he is on campus, [...]
