Does EM HC Joel Sanchez golf? Find out on April 5th<\/p><\/div>\n

Good Afternoon!<\/p>\n

T-Minus-185 Days until \u201cThe Mid Valley Classic\u201d<\/p>\n

First of all…Congrats to the Vikes…<\/p>\n

My head feels like an anvil… I haven\u2019t been this sick since seeing a Barbara Streisand movie.<\/p>\n

My problems with the NBA are summed up in the final seconds of the Lakers-Magic yesterday…all that time…all that talent on the floor…and Kobe grabs up the whole scene… Bad play Mr. Bryant…Lousy ball Mr. Bryant…<\/p>\n

Happy birthday to loyal Fanview reader; \u201cBlue State\u201d… Sixty is a good age to be… I\u2019ve been told.<\/p>\n

Am I a bad person because the most interesting part of the Academy Awards is when they do the tribute video of all people who passed away? You know, that spot in the middle of the show where you look at the screen and say; \u201cWow, I didn\u2019t know he died!\u201d or \u201cShe died? I thought she died a long time ago!\u201d or \u201c\u2018Marlin Levin, Set Coordinator\u2019… who the heck is that guy?\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking of the weekend San Gabriel\u2019s Arthur Brown and Schurr quarterback Aaron Cantu spent it in Las Vegas for a \u201cSeven on Seven\u201d camp.<\/p>\n

Note to SG HC Jude Oliva: Make Brown the tailback, twenty carries a game. But that\u2019s me…I\u2019m a gambling kinda guy…Mr. Vegas…(Especially with somebody else\u2019s future)<\/p>\n

In regards to football being a year round sport these days take notice of a pair of on going camps.<\/p>\n

First a new one. The Perennial Football Academy is run by a perennial local assistant Henry Rodriguez. Rodriguez, famed for his passion with the 52 Okie defense, and for stops at Temple City, Monrovia, and Maranatha, is jazzed about the launch of this long time dream<\/p>\n

“Our vision is to provide young football hopefuls with a progressive training program that enhances their skills and helps take them to the next level,” says Rodriguez on the website: www.perennialfootball.com<\/a><\/p>\n

The spring program begins May 7th and runs 12-weeks.<\/p>\n

Also in its second year is the Legends of Character camp, run by Oliva and Zeke Prado.<\/p>\n

When I was thirteen and my Dad was hooked up with his fourth wife he had one of those giant screen televisions with a front projector. This meant you could hardly watch it during the day if the sun was out or if a window was uncovered.<\/p>\n

The screen was this huge smooth aluminum looking thing. For a second I thought it might have been stretched canvas. So I went up and touched it with my fingers…For the next three years they were together they couldn\u2019t get those finger prints off that screen.<\/p>\n

I remember watching Billy Ray Bates have his flash in the pan moment for the Portland Trailblazers and in the middle of it all were my fingerprints.<\/p>\n

My step mom, my second, a nice lady who really didn\u2019t know what she had gotten into with my father, looked at me with special giant screen cleaner in her hand and said: \u201cWhatever possessed you to touch that screen?\u201d<\/p>\n

I remember shrugging and saying I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

Which has sort of been my reaction to friends and readers who have given me a hard time about mentioning whatever happened to Villathedevil\u2019s daily column.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever possessed you to say something?\u201d<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know…it seemed funny at the time…Remember I\u2019ve had pneumonia or some form of it all week. I\u2019m coughing like coal miner.<\/p>\n

All this talk about me stepping into the batters box against Allie Forillo from La Salle, which I will, is one thing…but I\u2019d like to see Mid Valley golfers Tim Peterson and Duane \u201cBad News\u201d Barker\u00a0 be part of the fifth annual El Monte High School Football Charity Golf Tournament on Saturday, April 5th, (11:AM check in) at San Dimas Canyon Golf Course.<\/p>\n

Those two will come up with an excuse, but if you want to participate contact Lions HC Joel Sanchez at (626) 926-6108 or Gilbert Garcia at (626) 533-3536<\/p>\n

Do so fast, last year\u2019s event sold out and this year\u2019s deadline is March 17. All proceeds go to El Monte High School Football.<\/p>\n

Stay thirsty my friends\u2026<\/p>\n
