The reserved Burroughs faithful calmly roots on the Indians<\/p><\/div>\n
Good Afternoon!<\/p>\n
Was it just my surgically repaired left knee acting up, or are we finally starting to get football weather?<\/span><\/p>\n Rumors of a West Covina demise have been very premature, the WC might be hottest team heading into league play…Los Altos, unfortunately for the L.A. faithful, still looks like a work in progress.<\/span><\/p>\n No such thing as a spiritual karma, but the Mid Valley karma hit with a vengeance last night when Keppel snapped its 40-game losing streak with a 36-0 victory over Mt. View. Congrats to Mid Valley favorites Evan Bachman and Edson Gomez.<\/span><\/p>\n Irony of ironies, the Aztecs last win came at home on September 23, 2005 against the Vikings.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ve always been a Purdue fan, but how can the Boilermakers blow a 21-3 lead at home to Northwestern and expect to keep my support?<\/span><\/p>\n Note to Arroyo Offensive Line: Is it time for the \u2018Precious Cargo\u2019 talk regarding quarterback Steven Rivera?<\/span><\/p>\n No word on whether or not Andy Villathedevil is going to give up prognosticating after another week of stunning non-success.<\/span><\/p>\n Then again stunning non-success has never deterred Notre Dame HC Charlie Weiss.<\/span><\/p>\n Jarron Williams is more than a talented quarterback for Muir he is a leader who plays on both sides of the ball and a joy to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n The guy to keep your eye on in the future for Muir is Lawrence Phillips, a junior, who plays receiver and defensive back. He\u2019s a destructor.<\/span><\/p>\n Had a dream last night I went to the beach and on PCH were Mt. View players still in uniform, heads down, some in tears, over latest loss. Weird.<\/span><\/p>\n When Lucas Yanez needed eight yards on third down in the first quarter Friday night and finished a nine-yard run with a head first dive, I understood why his coaching staff loves him.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHe is a competitor,\u201d Burroughs HC Keith Knoop said of Yanez. \u201cAnd he doesn\u2019t like getting yelled at.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n On Dalton Williams\u2019 late touchdown Knoop said; \u201cI told him if he wants to be the next great Burroughs running back it was time for him to step up and he did.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Out of fairness Knoop pointed out, Williams also goes full time on defense something Dominique Barnes and Iron Joe Wiggan never did.<\/span><\/p>\n All who see Baldwin Park quarterback Manny Salcedo keep singing his praises. As the Valle Vista shapes into a two team race between BP and San Dimas, the experience of Salcedo should be the difference for the Braves.<\/span><\/p>\n Unless someone else wants to pay, please no further invites to the L.A. County Fair…I prefer the standard gun to my back when being robbed…or annual notification from the IRS…or DMV…or…<\/span><\/p>\n So it looks like Jacob Shirley, after going 10 of 10 for 319-yards against Northview, is going to remain the starting quarterback at South Hills…Of course five touchdowns by Geoffrey Vaughns doesn\u2019t hurt.<\/span><\/p>\n No truth to the rumor that the Army plans on naming its new urban assault vehicle \u201cThe Leonard Rhodes\u201d…<\/span><\/p>\n For the first time since becoming the starting tailback Max Ruckle failed to rush for a 100-yards in a regular season game for Temple City. The last time he was held under the century mark was in the semifinal against Paraclete when he posted 75 on the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI need you to stop dancing and hit the hole,\u201d Muir HC Ken Howard told Eddie Tripp. \u201cThen you can dance all you want.\u201d Which Tripp did to the tune of 102-yards on 15-carries against Burroughs.<\/span><\/p>\n Last Add Villathedevil: \u201cThis game was closer than it appeared,\u201d he said after watching Monrovia take a 35-7 halftime lead, and cruise to a 48-14 victory over La Salle.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m just as guilty as everyone else for underestimating Burbank. Give Hector Valencia, staff, and players; Adam Coleman, Ulises Ochoa, and Leo Rodas, all the credit.<\/span><\/p>\n The Pacific looks like a horse race, but B-Bank seems to have the inside track.<\/span><\/p>\n Recommended Reading: The October 2nd edition of Fanview Lite, I must say was excellent.<\/span><\/p>\n
