The Peterson Principle 3/18/13

Nick Lemas led the Apaches to a win over La Salle Saturday to open the Babe Herman Tournament at Stengel Field
Seeing Stengel Field is worth taking a drive to Glendale. It’s not your typical high school baseball field although the Crescenta Valley Falcons do call it their home.
It has more of a small college feel. [...]

Tim Peterson
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.
When he hit the three pointer in regulation it killed me but when he [...]

Ready or not it’s here. For the first time in recent memory the football season kicks off on August 23. Have all the coaching vacancies even been filled yet? Have all the transfers been approved? Have all the transfers been completed?
Actually the season kicked off Saturday night when Crespi traveled to Arizona and beat [...]

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 [...]

The Peterson Principle 7/23/12

Tim Peterson
Most of the schools are on dead period which explains why I saw Arcadia Assistant Coach Eric Elias on the golf course Saturday afternoon. “What? Are the Mid Valley guys out here playing for money?” Elias laughed.
The Apaches return to the field in early August to prepare for their home opener against Rio Hondo [...]

Heggins Steps Down at Baldwin Park

James Heggins
(Baldwin Park) – James Heggins has confirmed to Mid Valley Sports that he has stepped down as the Head Coach at Baldwin Park.
