The Peterson Principle 2/25/13

Maranatha quarterback Eli Snyder has a year of experience under his belt
It would seem it wouldn’t take the death of an owner to get a team motivated but whatever it takes I guess. There have been three straight victories since the death of Dr. Jerry Buss and Dwight Howard is still in the fold so [...]

The Peterson Principle 11/12/12

La Salle was not the inferior team Friday night. This wasn’t Village Christian beating Azusa in 2010. In that game Azusa was 10-0 and Village Christian was 6-4. However Village was the superior team- stronger league, more physical, faster, etc. The Crusaders were simply better than Azusa and came away with the victory.
That wasn’t the [...]

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.
I don’t know why things turn out they way they do. It just goes to show you that the more you think you know, the less you know.
Nothing is certain. Nothing is etched in stone. You [...]

The Peterson Principle 10/01/12

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 [...]

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 [...]
