The Peterson Principle 2/4/13

Former USC Linebacker Chris Claiborne lands at La Mirada
The San Gabriel coaching situation has been settled. It went to a name that a lot of people aren’t familiar with. J.D. Thompson, whose roots aren’t embedded in the San Gabriel Valley, has taken the job as head coach.
Thompson attended Corona Centennial where he played wide receiver [...]

Can anybody beat Dallas Shipp and La Mirada?
Should we just pencil in La Serna and La Mirada for the Southeast Division Championship right now? When you look at the records of these two teams and how they have achieved them, there’s really nobody close.
La Mirada is 7-1 with its only loss coming against Bishop Amat, [...]

The Peterson Principle 10/22/12

DE Ezzy Arrellano and Montebello held BG to just one touchdown Friday night. Surprisingly the Oilers still came up short.

Nothing is certain. Nothing is etched in stone. You [...]

Tim Peterson
So we all knew this was going to happen right? The first Sunday with the officials back and there have been at least four clearly blown calls already. And one of them was missed even after they spent five minutes reviewing the play.
No, I won’t say bring back the replacements but replacement officials or [...]

Covina, CA – Two passing and a rushing touchdown by quarterback Kevin Amezquita lead Gladstone to open their 2012 football season with a 19-10 upset of Northview Thursday night at Covina District Field.

Is La Mirada number one?
Tracking Down the Saints
San Dimas Coach Bill Zerncikow gave us the grand tour of the new stadium last Wednesday night. It’s state of the art from the new turf to the new grandstands on the East side of the field. The most impressive thing was the blue track that runs [...]

Raider Nation Gets Ready for 2012

Rowland quarterback George Campos
(Rowland Heights) – Last year was one Rowland would like to forget. The Raiders finished 2-8 and out of the playoffs. That page has turned and although they are still young they are looking for a fresh start.

Head Coach Craig Snyder leading his troops on a hot Saturday morning
“We’re just so green,” said Rowland Coach Craig Snyder. “We have [...]
