Meaning the kick after scoring a touchdown will now require a 37-yard boot as opposed to a 20-yarder.<\/p>\n<p>Again the NFL is going backwards figuratively, as well as literally. Instead of moving the ball back, they need to eliminate the \u201ckicker\u201d position completely. Grandfather in the kickers currently on NFL rosters, but after that make it so any team\u2019s kicker has to be among their 22 starters at the beginning of a game.<\/p>\n<p>This will cut down on the automatic aspect they seem to be attempting to get away from.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to change,\u201d El Monte Lions HC Joel Sanchez said after I asked him if he was going to change anything about his offense this coming season. The Lions offense is, of course, the wide open aerial circus, punt only with a gun to your back, maximize the pressure on the defense, attack that produced a trip to the second round of the playoffs in 2012. It is also the offense they ran in 2013 when they finished 1-9. \u201cWe wouldn\u2019t be true to our beliefs if we changed. We\u2019re all in.\u201d<\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n<h3><b>El Monte High School Football 9th Annual Golf Tournament\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<h3>This fundraiser is right around the corner reserve your spot now.

I wanted to pump Sanchez for some inside info when CIF suit, in charge of changes, Glenn Martinez walked up to us.<\/p>\n<p>It was my first meeting with Martinez and I have to admit he seemed like a nice guy, but before I could give him my blueprint on how to correct the football universe he told me all things would be finalized April 30th at the Long Beach meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Good thing, because I have to know if Bakersfield High School is coming into the Southern Section.<\/p>\n<p>(I\u2019ll publish the list of athletes honored at the bottom of this column)<\/p>\n<p>The Hall of Fame game head coaches were announced. The West will be led by San Marino\u2019s Mike Hobbie, the East by Pomona\u2019s Aaron Jamieson.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s nice to know that Mt. View Principal Larry Cecil and his bearded football HC Victor Ambruso are still feeling guilt about how I got big timed and shutout of the Vikings homecoming game with Arroyo last fall by their Gate Gestapo.<\/p>\n<p>First Add Fred Robledo: Mid Valley Sports was pulled into the National Football Foundation experience when President (former Duarte HC) Tony Ortega and Leon Ward took Peterson and I out for for dinner. We had hamburgers. I talked to Robledo last night and he said when Ortega and Ward took him out they had steak.<\/p>\n<p>Final comment on the Jude Oliva departure from Maranatha: If you want to say he\u2019s not a nice man, okay. If you want to say he\u2019s a bad coach, alright. If you want to say he was in over his head, sure&#8230;But honestly folks, why do you come on here and attempt to label somebody a thief, embezzler, philanderer, or racist?<\/p>\n<p>Now most of these comments get obliterated before they see the light of our message board, but because there is such a large volume of \u201cpsycho\u201d on this subject things inevitably leak through. And for that we apologize.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing but love for San Gabriel, Alhambra, Bell Gardens, Montebello, Schurr, and even Keppel&#8230;but there is a toxic madness in the Almont fan base that taints everybody associated with the league.<\/p>\n<p>Last Add Bakersfield: I just made that up, Bakersfield is not coming into the Southern Section&#8230;but remember Morro Bay is in the Southern Section.<\/p>\n<p>I got a note sent to me about wide receiver\/defensive back Jacob Cook at Downey&#8230;I have to admit, he\u2019s under my radar but I\u2019ll look him up.
