Actually more of a Frank Lupitas kind of guy, so I was disappointed to see him go. Something about that Burned-Out-Seen-Better-Days look I identify with&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I believe anybody running out on the field is a danger&#8230;and they should get all the juice available.<\/p>\n<p>Of course the true culprit in any of these circumstances, besides idiocy, is alcohol. I\u2019ve become (Tim) leery about taking my family to a Dodger game because things just aren\u2019t what they used to be. I understand owners want the bucks, but they are losing the families, in all sports, no one wants to expose their kids to drunks.<\/p>\n<p>But folks will clap when the public address announcer says: \u201cThis is a smoke free facility\u201d&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Is it wrong to be watching recorded episodes of College Football Live instead of Lakers or Dodgers games? I can\u2019t do it right now&#8230;I\u2019d sooner spend an evening with an Amway salesman. (Yes, an old joke&#8230;but still serviceable today)<\/p>\n<p>The Whittier Christian guys were great last night, now if we can only get them to work on a more Mid Valley Sports appropriate non-league schedule. Perhaps some schools in the Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>We joked about it, but Heralds DT Jeff Worthy was literally getting calls while we were shooting the interview.<\/p>\n<p>Adam \u201cPacman\u201d Jones and the Cincinnati Bengals&#8230;there\u2019s a match made for COPS&#8230;and flip cameras. Nothing to see on YouTube there.<\/p>\n<p>But you can catch Whittier Christian quarterback Stephen Anderson\u2019s highlight video on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>When are the Jazz going to start getting the ball to Jeff Hornacek? This is ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>Forgive me, ridiculous better fits the Dodgers last night. Milwaukee? What is Milwaukee?<\/p>\n<p>I should have tazed Big George Hernandez last night&#8230;or taken him to King Taco.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHope all is well in Mid Valley Town,\u201d says Wilson HC Brian Zavala.<\/p>\n<p>I love the way that sounds, sort of a play on that whole M-Town thing. Just for clarification purposes it is spelled Mid Valley News or Mid Valley Sports&#8230; No hyphen&#8230; For the football division it is spelled Mid-Valley&#8230;Hyphen included.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I know this is why you got up at 6:30 this morning&#8230;happy to oblige.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been heavily into the weight room and field work (speed training) since our last league game in 09&#8242;,\u201d says Wilson HC Brian Zavala. \u201cNo time to rest, if we want to be good we must out work everyone. I believe we are blessed with some strong\/tuff guys in our trenches.\u00a0If I am accurate, we should do well up front on both sides.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the names Zavala shared were; Junior-to-be Joseph Prohoroff, Joseph Camacho, George Lemus, and Gerardo Chavez, another junior-to-be. All the players mentioned start at 240 pounds and continue to climb. Zavala, who returns his staff intact from a year ago, also mentioned two more bubbas he expects to have ready by this fall.<\/p>\n<p>Last Add Wilson: Prohoroff, by the way, is listed on David Schuman\u2019s top ten list from the National Underclassmen Combine in Los Angeles along with Arcadia\u2019s Taylor Lagace.<\/p>\n<p>On the Darkside Zavala will draw strength with return of significant numbers filling out his back seven including; linebacker Gustavo Garcia&#8230;as well as Josh Nelson in the secondary.<\/p>\n<p>The issue will be putting enough points on the board, especially in a Valle Vista already claiming two of the division\u2019s best in San Dimas and Baldwin Park. The non-league schedule now consists of Los Altos, which moved to the Hacienda League after the break up of the Miramonte, Diamond Bar, La Puente, and El Monte.<\/p>\n<p>Of course its early, but given the status of their new league the Wildcats have the look of a bubble team. Still a lot of big dudes, can do a lot of damage at the line of scrimmage.<\/p>\n<p>We weren\u2019t looking to start trouble last night but the San Gabriel receiving trio of Steven Park, Andres Fernandez, and Mark Covarrubias were way too political when we asked them who they like to play, who their biggest rival is, who, perhaps, they want to settle some old issues with the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just love competition,\u201d they answered in near unison. I got this feeling \u201cThe Suave One\u201d and Coach Jude Oliva were above them pulling the strings.<\/p>\n<p>I understand not wanting to give your opponents grist for the mill, but an SG guy deflecting a question about Schurr? I never expected this sort of command and control out of the new Oliva regime.<\/p>\n<p>Should have known something was up when I arrived Saturday morning and Coach O said: \u201cHey Joe, where\u2019s my coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stay thirsty my friends\u2026<\/p>\n<p>260<\/p>\n<p>Fanview Lite appears Monday thru Saturday at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.midvalleysports.com\">www.midvalleysports.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fanview, the HD version, appears every Tuesday at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.midvalleynewsonline.com\">www.midvalleynewsonline.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Mid Valley Sports Show\u201d is live every Tuesday night (7-9:PM) at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.midvalleysports.com\">www.midvalleysports.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>FaithView appears every Friday in Notes on Joe T.\u2019s Facebook page<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T-Minus-127 Days until \u201cThe Mid Valley Classic\u201d Good Morning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2853,894,2428,464,2859,2120,2858,2860,1777,2119,2857,2861,513,895,1533,2333,760],"class_list":["post-6596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fanview","tag-the-suave-one","tag-andres-fernandez","tag-big-george-hernandez","tag-brian-zavala","tag-eric-mitky","tag-george-lemus","tag-gerardo-chavez","tag-gustavo-garcia","tag-jeff-worthy","tag-joseph-camacho","tag-joseph-prohoroff","tag-josh-nelson","tag-jude-oliva","tag-mark-covarrubias","tag-stephen-anderson","tag-steven-park","tag-taylor-lagace"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6596"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6596\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6948,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6596\/revisions\/6948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
