It was Rosemead that advanced all the way to the Mid Valley CIF Division championship game before losing to Paraclete. It was Rosemead that lost only three games all of last season including the loss in the championship game. Yet so far this summer everybody is talking about Arroyo in the Mission Valley League.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 Because of the number of quality seniors that the Panthers lost and the number of quality players that the Knights have returning, Arroyo has been the consensus favorite.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 But if you talk to Rosemead Coach Matt Koffler we shouldn\u2019t hand the MVL trophy to the Knight just yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u201cLook at the size if some of these guys,\u201d Koffler said pointing to a couple of his lineman. \u201cI know nobody has seen anybody like that guy,\u201d Koffler added pointing to Conrado Simpson.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-2300\" href=\"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/?attachment_id=2300\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2300\" title=\"rosemead, show 8-22 013\" src=\"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/rosemead-show-8-22-013-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"rosemead, show 8-22 013\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a> Simpson, a senior receiver who will also see some time at defensive end, is one of the key players that Koffler is counting on to give the Knights a run.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Running back\/linebacker Joey Diaz, tight end Luis Diaz and wide receiver Greg Parham are also back and will figure heavily in the Panther\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 Three weeks before the season opener it\u2019s Arroyo.
