<\/a>Why not The View?<\/p><\/div>By George Hernandez <\/p>\n
[El Monte] – Mountain View named their new head coach, Paul Rodriguez former Viking defensive coordinator, this week. Could he be the guy to take the View to playoffs or have a winning record? Either one would be the first in 23 seasons. <\/p>\n
Frank Alonzo was the last Mountain View head coach to lead the Vikings to the playoffs – in 1997 a first round loss to Montebello. Since then Mt. View has managed just two 5-5 seasons and a overall record of 54-163-1. <\/p>\n
But why? Arroyo and El Monte had recent championship seasons with the same kids, South El Monte has had a few semi-final appearances and Rosemead is back to being a playoff team. Even Gabrielino pulled out a few playoff appearances in the early 2000’s and Marshall had a 6-4 record just four seasons ago. <\/p>\n
Coach Alonzo had talent like Carlos Polanco, Armando Beltran and Frank Hernandez and James Wilson had Leander Benjamin, Jose Zamora and Josymar Ulloa. Victor Romero (Ambruso) pulled out a 5-5 season and had several 1,000 yard rushers. <\/p>\n
Being an alum I know there is talent at the school. View has had multiple league MVPs in baseball, basketball and soccer, three CIF championship soccer teams and players drafted to MLB. <\/p>\n
So why not The View?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
