So what is Viking Coach Jim Arellanes predicting? A Valle Vista League title of course.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u201cA third straight league title, absolutely,\u201d Arellanes said Tuesday night on the Mid Valley Sports Show. \u201cSomeone told me the other day we were the favorites to win the Valle Vista and I said good. That\u2019s where we should be. We should be favored.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 Arellanes will be relying heavily on Kamaron Germany to lead the Vikes to the league crown. The senior running back will also be playing on the defensive side of the ball in the secondary. Junior Martin Arredondo is slated to replace Robles at quarterback and senior Randy Contreras is expected to anchor the lines.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u201cHe\u2019s been a beast so far this summer. In fact I\u2019ve had to tell him to tone it down before he hurts someone,\u201d Arellanes said of Contreras.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Life in Westwood<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Honestly I\u2019ve never been a UCLA fan. But with former Arcadia linebacker Todd Golper now wearing the powder and blue, suddenly I can\u2019t wait for the Bruins first game.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>View from the South <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While Northview is counting the number of players that graduated in June, South Hills is counting the number of players coming back. Geoffrey Vaughns, Ify Umodu, and Miles Bevel among others are all back as Steve Bogan\u2019s Huskies prepare to make a run at the Southeastern title. South Hills will be tested right out of the box with Ayala, La Habra and Tesoro in the first three weeks. The Huskies get Northview at Covina District Field in week four.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>TC QB? Anybody got a Clue?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trying to find out who the starting quarterback is going to be at Temple City is like trying to find weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East. We know he\u2019s out there hiding somewhere but we just can\u2019t find him or when he will be revealed. Someone even suggested that Morgan Hatch is petitioning for a fifth year of eligibility. Coach Anthony White may not decide until five minutes before the Mid Valley Classic kick off.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Another Acosta on the Scene<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another Acosta is looking to make an impact at South El Monte.\u00a0Mark Acosta has the\u00a0inside track to the starting quarterback position at South El Monte. First year Coach Ray Hernandez will need him to fill the big shoes of the graduated Jose Garay. South, like Northview has a lot of holes to fill. However Mark is not the brother\u00a0of three sport star Manny Acosta\u00a0who is heading to Cal State LA\u00a0on a scholarhship this year to play baseball. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zeroing In \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nogales at La Puente, Alhambra at Roosevelt, Cathedral at San Gabriel, San Dimas at Los Altos, Diamond Ranch at Muir, Norwalk at South El Monte and Arcadia at Monrovia are among the games to be played in zero week \u2013 Friday September 4.
