Arroyo-Rosemead…in May

Arroyo QB Nathan Coto is back
Arroyo and Rosemead renewed old acquaintances Saturday at B.L. Bergstrom Stadium. The Panthers and the Knights have been butting heads for decades in what is the best rivalry in the Mission Valley League but this wasn’t quite as intense as a Friday night clash in October.
Instead it was just a chance to throw the ball around a little [...]

The Peterson Principle 11/5/12

Tim Peterson
In the not too distant future all of the coaches will not be gathering together on CIF selection Sunday. It won’t be necessary. It’s really not necessary now. All of the playoff pairings are online already and a lot of gas money would be saved by simply having the coaches log in to check [...]

The TEN: 10/10/2012

The TEN
(“The Ten” is not a top ten, but ten items worth being included in The TEN)
1. After beating Arroyo 30-0 in 1990, El Monte lost to Duarte 20-13 the next week.
2. La Mirada’s Gerry Myres, Xavier Williams of Paramount and El Monte’s Brandon Martinez all made Roggin’s Heroes Sunday night.
3. Terry Francona named the [...]

The Peterson Principle 10/8/12

Tim Peterson
It finally happened and it happened convincingly. For the first time in 21 years El Monte knocked off Arroyo. It wasn’t close. El Monte jumped out to a 26-7 halftime lead and it was 32-7 as the Lions coasted from there.
 
It wasn’t exactly the way you expected Arroyo to go down but this Brandon [...]

The TEN: 10/04/2012

The TEN
(“The Ten” is not a top ten, but ten items worth being included in The TEN)
1. Oakland overcomes a 13 ½ game deficit to win the American League West.
2. Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera wins the Triple Crown.
3. Clayton Kershaw finishes with the best ERA in the Major Leagues at 2.53.
4. The NFL allows Saints suspended [...]

The Peterson Principle 9/24/12

Who’s that stiff with Vic the Brick?
Haven’t we seen this before? The Raiders win a big early season game over a possible contender and all the silver and black honks come crawling out of the woodwork proclaiming that they are ready to make a Super Bowl run.
Can we just get back to reality and look at this [...]

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 9/3/12

Covina could surprise in the Valle Vista League
Mea Culpa Covina 
I love it when I’m right but when I’m wrong, I need to acknowledge that also. And in the case of Covina it looks like I was wrong. After seeing how many players the Colts lost to graduation/transfer I thought they were in trouble.
After seeing them shut [...]

Game Night: Week One

Diamond Ranch will line up against El Rancho
Thursday 8/30
Covina (0-1) at La Puente (0-0)
La Puente has Ivan Vasquez returning at quarterback and looks like a team that will contend in the Montview. The Warriors might be the favorites. It could be a long year for Covina. The Colts defense isn’t bad but offense is [...]

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 [...]
