Vic "The Brick" Jacobs offers this guy some journalism tips <\/p><\/div>\n

We\u2019ve hit the dead period for several area high school football teams. Although there is no set dead period now with the new CIF rules in place most teams still go dark in late July and into early August.<\/p>\n

They may be throwing in April now but many coaches don\u2019t change at all when it comes to taking time off. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t change anything,\u201d Monrovia Coach Ryan Maddox told me in June. \u201cWe plan on playing into December, so if you don\u2019t take that time off in August it makes for a long year.\u201d<\/p>\n

You may have seen the picture and information on Rosemead\u2019s Sal Chavarin on the \u201cMid Spotlight\u201d this week. He may look scary but according to teammates and coaches he\u2019s one of the nicest guys you\u2019ll meet.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s the nicest kid in the world off the field,\u201d said Rosemead DC Marc Paramo. \u201cWe just need him to learn how to get mean on the field. He\u2019s got a ton of potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

A message posted on the Hunter Duran \u201cMid Spotlight\u201d story this week said \u201cWith the system Arroyo runs, they need linemen not receivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huh? With one of the best quarterbacks in the valley in Steven Rivera, isn\u2019t it imperative that he has somebody to throw to? Well he does in Duran, Andre Kerkhoff and newcomer Brandon Jauregui. As far as the line, the Knights have a stud in Omar Partida, who bench pressed 225 pounds 21 times at the Arroyo linemen competition. Don\u2019t worry \u201cbigdog\u201d they\u2019ll be fine.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the linemen comp, West Covina taking first there and bowing out early at the SGV Shootout the week before is just a precursor of things to come in 2011. I wonder what the Bulldogs will be doing on offense this year? It will be Aaron Salgado left, Jimmy Frazier right and a whole lot of Chris Solomon everywhere. And you can expect a large amount of pancakes.<\/p>\n

Nice article by Eric Sondheimer on Crespi receiver Michael Davison in the LA Times Sunday. Davison, who stands only 5\u20192\u201d, is a nightmare for opposing secondaries. I saw Davison last summer at a passing game at South Hills and he was remarkable. I got the scoop on him from Crespi staffer James Escarcega. He\u2019s legit.<\/p>\n

I like El Monte\u2019s chances in the Mission Valley League. I really do. But I\u2019m concerned that Brandon Martinez has been playing quarterback instead of returning starter Manuel Santa Cruz. In fact Santa Cruz didn\u2019t take any reps at the SGV Shootout or a four way throw the previous week. Can the Lion faithful help me with this? Who\u2019s the guy \u2013 Martinez or Santa Cruz?\u00a0<\/p>\n

It seems like we beat a dead horse with this every year but when you look at the fate of El Monte, it\u2019s a horse worth beating. In order for the Lions to be successful, (playoff berth), they must beat Arroyo, Rosemead or both. Last year they went into the final two games of the season 3-0 in the MVL before falling to Arroyo 40-7 and Rosemead 42-29. Even if they struggle in the non league contests they can assure themselves of a spot in the post season with a second place finish.<\/p>\n

I know Mt. View made some noise last year (.500 record) and reports out of the Purple and Gold nation have the View ready to take the next step this year, but until they actually prove it I\u2019m picking the Vikes fourth in the MVL. But yes Coach Junkyard James Wilson, we still want you to come on the show.<\/p>\n

Yeah I know\u2026George Frazier, DeSean Ramirez, Luke Williams, Ellis McCarthy\u2026but I\u2019m hearing another name coming out of M-Town\u2026Brandon Wingenbach.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s my principle.<\/p>\n
