Adanguillen Alejandre, brother of Angel, is the new quarterback at Rosemead <\/p><\/div>\n

(Rosemead) \u2013 Rosemead has welcomed a familiar name into its starting lineup. Angel Alejandre may have graduated in 2009 but another Alejandre, sophomore Adanguillen, is the starting quarterback for the 2011 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe looks pretty good so far. He was our freshman starter last year and did a good job,\u201d said Rosemead Coach Matt Koffler. \u201cThink Angel when he was a sophomore. I wanted to see how he looked today running our regular offensive sets and he did a good job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adanguillen Alejandre \u2013 try saying that fast three times.<\/p>\n

Of course if you know Koffler you know he also loves to establish the running game, and pound the rock. Matt Fregoso who rushed for over 2400 yards last year, yeah 2400, has graduated but Koffler has a couple of options he can call on this year. Matt Eddy, who rushed for close to 200 yards a year ago and Andrew Gibson, who had just under 100, will both get a shot to tote the pigskin. Eddy and Gibson both play on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n

RB\/LB Andrew Gibson will be a factor on both sides <\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re both real tough kids,\u201d Koffler said.<\/p>\n

Mead may have a first year quarterback but all of the receivers are back. Steven San Miguel and Christian Garcia, who had over 900 yards combined in \u201910, lead the receiving corps.<\/p>\n

Who will pave the way and protect Alejandre? Lupe Perez and Leon Nelson return to anchor the line. Sal Chavrin, 6\u20191\u201d, 325 may be the best of the bubbas.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes he\u2019s a beast,\u201d Koffler said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have a good defense you\u2019re always going to compete. If you remember that 2008 team than went to the Finals, we did it with defense,\u201d Koffler said. \u201cSure we had some guys that made plays offensively but our defense was just so tough. We had guys flying around, rallying to the ball, making plays. Our defense this year has a chance to be really good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides Eddy and Gibson, Mike Chavez will be back as a defensive back and Dominic Salas, 54 combined tackles a year ago, is back at linebacker. Also the aforementioned Chavarin will be plugging gaps up front. Daniel Camarena, brother of former quarterback Jose, will see time on the lines as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to do what we do. We lose guys but we plug other guys in,\u201d Koffler said. \u201cWe\u2019re just consistent as a program.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Panthers finished 8-4 last year (second in the MVL) and lost in the second round of the playoffs to Village Christian. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Rosemead opens the season at Montebello on September 9 followed by Rowland and San Marino at home before traveling to San Gabriel and then returning home to play Temple City. The Panthers open Mission Valley League play at El Monte on October 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
