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 [...]

Mid-Valley Division Player of The Year: San Dimas Running Back Jake Payton

San Dimas running back Jake Payton
With a little less talent in the San Dimas backfield, Payton could be a 3,000 yard back. As it is he led his division in rushing with 1,658 yards but was only tenth in number of carries with 161. Only once did he have over 20 carries (21 vs. Bonita) [...]

Sierra Canyon free safety Isaiah Renfro
(“Newcomer” criteria: Player must be an underclassmen, with limited, or no, varsity experience.)

Mid-Valley Football Daily Tracking Poll: 6/12/2012

2011 look back: Monrovia's Blake Heyworth (12) and Marquise Bias (2)
Makes sense for M-Town to run away. The El Monte faithful are getting it, San Dimas holding tough…The Clete and The Canyon need to get more involved. Disappointed by the SG turnout.

SEM jumps eight spots, M-Town increases its advantage from one to 23…so we know our audience is honest. Baldwin Park is better than anyone thinks and Peterson, all of a sudden, likes Northview. The Clete and the Canyon cannot be overlooked.
Leave us [...]
