It ain’t yesterday, it’s today. Gabrielino is 4-0-(Photo by David Winchell)<\/p><\/div>\n

Kick it!<\/p>\n

Oh, I\u2019ve always hated fantasy football.<\/p>\n

Rosemead HC Marc Paramo: \u201cHow come I didn\u2019t see you out at Torrance?\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe T.: \u201cSorry, I accidently drove to Midwest Torrance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rosemead HC Mar Paramo: \u201cI know what you mean.\u201d<\/p>\n

Did you know that Gabrielino is 4-0 for the first time since 2004? The Eagles are playing good football, and playing a little bit better opponent in Roybal this week, but we won\u2019t really find out about them until they open league against Mt. View on October 5th.<\/p>\n

San Marino might need a closer look…<\/p>\n

On this date in 1976 Arroyo snapped a 15 game losing streak by beating El Monte 8-7 at B.L. Bergstrom. With 2:46 left in the game Knights quarterback Danny Aguirre scored on a 12-yard run. They went for two and won it when Louie Rios took a pitch from Aguirre and threw the ball to Sam Provenza. (The Lions lone score came on a one yard run by Victor Salmon)<\/p>\n

On the same night San Marino went to Arcadia and worked the Apaches 37-12 in the season opener. The Titans Chip Diggins scored two touchdowns as San Marino built a 28-0 halftime lead. Jim Mohr rushed for 210 yards on 11 carries for Arcadia but the home team could do little else.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t been blessed with the Sunday Ticket…my condolences. I have been blessed with the TIcket and was able to see the Redskins-Rams Sunday. Lot of fun, the refs were brutal…and the Rams won (at which point I ceased to care about fantasy football).<\/p>\n

Two things…one I\u2019ll get to later…but the other I\u2019ll deal with right now.<\/p>\n

Robert Griffin III is legit. He\u2019s a quarterback, who looks to pass and can pass. However, unlike Vince Young and Tim Tebow, he does not have the body to run the ball as much as he does. Not in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Note to the Redskins: If you want to keep this guy around for ten years, dump the read option. He\u2019s gonna get smashed.<\/p>\n

Detroit didn\u2019t look good last night.<\/p>\n

I knew something wasn\u2019t right at Bishop Montgomery…But Los Altos getting shutout did surprise me. I had feeling they could stumble, I didn\u2019t believe they would get shutout.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the Del Rey League, La Salle is the perfect example of never believing what anybody tells you in the supermarket, at the office, on the sidelines, or through an email without first seeing so for yourself…Then again the Lancers were a combined 1-19 over the last two years.<\/p>\n

Kershaw! I knew it, I mean I didn\u2019t know it, but…I knew it!<\/p>\n

Our records aren\u2019t complete prior to 1946, but El Monte\u2019s 66 points scored against Gladstone last Friday night was the school\u2019s highest point total going all the way back to the 1946 season.<\/p>\n

What was the most the Lions scored in a game prior to Friday night? Try 56 points in Week Four of 1996 against…Gladstone. El Monte won that night 56-34.<\/p>\n

How is a 24-22 loss worse than a 42-17 loss? When you\u2019re APU and it happens at home. The Cougars not only blew a ten point lead in the final five minutes to Dixie State, but three of the Red Storm\u2019s four touchdowns came in the most excruciating fashion.<\/p>\n

A quarterback, Griff Robles, scrambling 39-yards, on a third & nine, for a touchdown. A kick-off returned a hundred yards by Cache Morgan for a touchdown. A fumble, the game winner, returned 32-yards for a touchdown by Ray Chapman.<\/p>\n

For three quarters APU looked better against D-2 nationally ranked Humboldt State, than it did against a Dixie State team they should have beat by two touchdowns…Maybe three.<\/p>\n

Last Add El Monte Point Totals: The Lions (under Ev Bjorensen) lost to Arroyo in 1989 61-0. In 1976 (under Charles Ucker) they lost to Temple City, 61-7. In 1966 (under Bill Samarin) they lost to El Rancho, 60-7.<\/p>\n

Paraclete is special…I haven\u2019t seen Sierra Canyon live yet, but the Spirits can beat anybody and everybody else in the Mid-Valley Division right now…Yes, I am including Monrovia…They\u2019re good hosts too.<\/p>\n

Last Add Rams & Redskins: So I\u2019m watching a seventh round draft pick wear number 26 for the Rams play for Stephen Jackson and its Daryl Richardson, and I remembered another number 26 who replaced Lawrence McCutcheon…Wendell Tyler…Richardson even has some of the same speed\/power balance Tyler had. I thought it was a crazy comparison, then Richardson fumbled late in the fourth quarter and I knew it…He was Wendell Tyler.<\/p>\n

Speaking of running backs…Even without Johnny Hills, La Mirada is two touchdowns better than Norwalk this Friday night.<\/p>\n

On the Torrance Schools: We will call South, South Torrance. West, West Torrance. North, Torrance…Just to help everyone get a geographical fix on these schools.<\/p>\n

Speaking of North Torrance…The Saxons have scored 189 points and allowed only 59 through the first month of the season. They already appear to the be the team to beat in the Pioneer League, but a win over non-league rival West Torrance will affirm that point. HC Todd Croce has a big time home run hitter in Devante Jenkins.<\/p>\n

Why does it matter? Because they are in the Northwest Division…home to; La Salle, B-Tech, the Olympic and Montview Leagues.<\/p>\n

Last Add On This Date in 1976: El Rancho\u2019s Louie Salazar rushed for 130 yards, and four touchdowns on 11 carries as the Dons defeated Pioneer 34-6.<\/p>\n
