Bernie Nicholls was great last night!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Interesting how if a coach promotes his players and gets excited about them going to college&#8230;then he\u2019s all hype and no substance. Then if a coach does nothing he\u2019s just a bum, who doesn\u2019t care about his players.<\/p>\n<p>Note to Coaches: You all should have been Pastors&#8230;and whether you know it, or not, you really are.<\/p>\n<p>MVS commentor \u201cwow\u201d asked in yesterday\u2019s column \u201cWhat about Monrovia?&#8230;any word\u201d and my answer is nothing. Unless in some strange act the Rio Hondo League is moved into the Southeast nothing will change for the Wildcats.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially what yesterday accomplished was it allowed teams to complete the 2014 schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the Lakers can rehire Del Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Magic Johnson\u2019s tweet about Mike D\u2019Antoni\u2019s resignation show\u2019s how small he has become over the years. To me Magic is the greatest basketball player who ever lived. I would take him every day of the week over Michael Jordan and Lebron couldn\u2019t carry his jockstrap&#8230;but no matter how cool he attempts to come across, he is the establishment now and drifts further and further away from actual relevancy.<\/p>\n<p>NorRock\u2019s Ryan McDowell getting D-I interest this spring.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to formerly welcome Charter Oak back into our coverage zone. I\u2019m going to go out, on a not too dangerous, limb and declare them front runners for the Southeast Division title.<\/p>\n<p>And just in case nobody knows&#8230;Not only does CO WR\/RB Zion Echols have the best name in area football, but with 21 touchdowns scored as a sophomore he\u2019s among the very best in the Southeast already.<\/p>\n<p>Last Add Charter Oak: This doesn\u2019t mean much but, in regards to who is coming back, the Chargers look slightly undersized compared to previous teams.<\/p>\n<p>And the Mid Valley Sports staff, even without Big Tony, is still slightly oversized&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>First Add Dodgers: Who will we see in a Dodger uniform sooner Jack Fimple or Tim Federowicz?<\/p>\n<p>Throw Me a Freaking Bone: Can somebody up the coast, and I know some of you read us, explain to me the Tri County Athletic Association and the 14 teams that belong to it? Can you tell me what the Tri-Valley League will look like this year? Will one or two schools replace Oak Park? I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll eventually get a grasp of this, but sooner would be better than later.<\/p>\n<p>One More Time: For those wondering why Mid Valley Sports cares about what is happening around Santa Barbara&#8230;The Tri-Valley League is the dominate league in the Northwest Division. So it matters until they are moved out.<\/p>\n<p>If La Salle makes the playoffs this fall, Russell Gordon should be named \u201cCoach of The Year\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>I do have a tendency to fall in love with schools that have potential. Pomona is one of them and because of that I just don\u2019t know how Bassett or La Puente is going to compete with the Red Devils.<\/p>\n<p>LP has been solid for a long time and should continue to be and Bassett is getting better by the moment. Yet with all of that, a focused Pomona team will not be stopped in the Miramonte&#8230;Unless the school district does something crazy.<\/p>\n<p>And if the Miramonte ends up in the Northwest, without a Tri-Valley League, then the Red Devils are playing football into late November and early December. Ditto in regards to Baldwin Park.<\/p>\n<p>This is why it all matters.<\/p>\n<p>Last Add Dodgers: Thank you Dan Haren&#8230;at least for now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regards:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>In regards to<\/strong> Florida Sate quarterback Jameis Winston getting busted for shoplifting: If he were in the MLB, they would just tell him to be less obvious when he steals.<br \/>\n<strong>In regards to<\/strong> \u201cSurvivor\u201d: Paranoia kills the Golden Goose&#8230;or in this case Tony.<br \/>\n<strong>In regards to <\/strong>Fantasy Baseball: It\u2019s a lot more fun when your team is in first place.<br \/>\n<strong>In regards to<\/strong> Blood Moon: Don\u2019t care, but I do love blood oranges.<br \/>\n<strong>In regards to<\/strong> the Milwaukee Brewers: Starting to dig them.<\/p>\n<p>The Dude abides\u2026<br \/>\n546<br \/>\nJob 5:8-9<br \/>\nContact Joe at joe@midvalleysports.com<br \/>\n\u201cJoe T.\u2019s Scoreboard\u201d is found at www.midvalleynews.com every Wednesday &amp; in the hard copy of the Mid Valley News, published every Wednesday<br \/>\nFollow Joe on Twitter @joet13b<br \/>\nListen to \u201cThe Joe Show\u201d every Wednesday (6 &amp; 6:30 P.M.) at www.midvalleyradio.net<br \/>\n\u201cThe Mid Valley Sports Show\u201d is LIVE every Tuesday (7:PM) at www.midvalleysports.com (Click on \u201cUStream\u201d button)<\/p>\n<p>The Tri-County Athletic Association<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIf there&#8217;s a bustle in your hedgerow, don&#8217;t be alarmed now&#8230;\u201d&#8212;Led Zeppelin Kick it!
