The Peterson Principle 2/4/13

Former USC Linebacker Chris Claiborne lands at La Mirada

I found myself rooting for the Boston Celtics Sunday. It felt kind of strange but I believe I’ve hit LeBron overload. He got his championship last year and now everybody proclaims him to be the best basketball player on the planet…ever.

Can we just get back to reality and look at this [...]

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 [...]
