G-Stone's Joseph Herrera is key for the Gladiators in 2010<\/p><\/div>\n

T-Minus-77 Days until \u201cThe Mid Valley Classic\u201d<\/p>\n

Good Afternoon!<\/p>\n

Not From the Deep End Note: Folks, when I posted on FB this morning that I have always been a soccer fan\u2026I was joking. Even with the big win this morning\u2026My focus for the day is on the NBA Draft\u2026because the NBA ROCKS!<\/p>\n

(Not really, but I can live in denial for the next few weeks)<\/p>\n

Former Arroyo quarterback Brian Partida rocked last night.<\/p>\n

People have been asking if I\u2019m burned that the Trib-Star is coming out with its PrepXtra Magazine this summer, previewing the upcoming season\u2026 Why would I be burned? I think it\u2019s great for the area\u2026 I think it adds another resource, I\u2019m gonna get a copy. And I bet it comes out looking pretty slick\u2026.I also hope they make a lot of money\u2026 Properly Paid sportswriters are becoming as scarce as the Jedi these days.<\/p>\n

Just because they do their thing, doesn\u2019t mean we still won\u2019t be doing our thing at the start of September.<\/p>\n

(My only issue with the Star-Trib, Robledo and I worked through them last year, was I just don\u2019t like people bagging on my young guys. I pay them dirt, they\u2019re hard workers, so I feel a responsibility to look out for them. On the other hand, I\u2019m fair game. Bag on me left and right, bag on Peterson left and right, bag on Bad News Barker left and right\u2026 AND PLEASE bag on Villathedevil left and right.)<\/p>\n

Enough of that stuff.<\/p>\n

Got to an Arroyo four-way yesterday and noticed the Knights had Whittier Christian in the opener\u2026which they did…in which they did not play seven starters; four on offense, three on defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you can’t get to practice on time or class on time, then you can watch the guys that are on-time,\u201d said Arroyo HC Jim Singiser. \u201cFor some of these guys it may be the first time they have ever been disciplined, but it is so early in summer we wanted to set a tone. Doesn’t matter if you\u2019re the star, if you miss you sit. It\u2019s different during the off-season there isn’t much you can take away from players that affects them. Run them, suspend them, kick them out of the weight room, etcetera, but it is amazing what happens when you sit them for a glorified game of two hand touch. We’ll see how they react.\u201d<\/p>\n

On this date in 1973, the Dodger infield of Ron Cey, Bill Russell, Davey Lopes and Steve Garvey started the second game of a doubleheader against the Reds, beginning an 8 1\/2 year run together in Los Angeles. The quartet officially split up in 1982, when Lopes was traded to the Oakland A\u2019s on Feb. 8, 1982.<\/p>\n

The Heralds weren\u2019t too happy with their performance yesterday… Coach Pete Karavedas sent me a text during \u201cThe Mid Valley Sports Show\u201d last night accusing me of being bad luck for the WC.<\/p>\n

They did have some rough spots, but it was Heralds receiver Grant Escobar who spared me a bashing when I lost track of where I was on the field while fiddling with my camera. A rookie mistake, thank goodness I had a veteran wide out covering my back.<\/p>\n

Speaking of coverage the Azusa defensive backs looked good especially Desmond Reed and Steven Blount. It\u2019s still early but Jose Nunez appears to have the edge on Jake Martinez at quarterback. Nunez has the bigger arm but then again Martinez did get quite a few snaps last season and opened Tuesday as the starter.<\/p>\n

The Aztecs Abraham Ochoa, 39-catches 7-touchdowns in 2009, is still making plays for Joe Scherf\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

With the departure of Paul Flores to APU, playmakers are what Gladstone HC Albert Sanchez is looking for. Andres \u201cPeanut\u201d Uribe is the heir apparent at quarterback but expect the Gladiators to lean heavily on fourth year varsity guy Joseph Herrera.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been with me since he was a freshman as a starter,\u201d said Sanchez of Herrera. \u201cWe\u2019re going to be leaning on him a lot. He\u2019s our leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

Herrera, who starts at middle linebacker, rushed for 436-yards last season and expects to get an increased workload to take the pressure off of Uribe at quarterback.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what to expect from the Hall of Fame game this Friday. I\u2019ve never picked a winner. I pick the West it goes to the East, I pick the East and Tommy Cogburn goes deep three times in single coverage for the West\u2026 I don\u2019t want to give the smooch of death to the Mike Maggiore\u2019s East squad this time around, but its tough to pick against that group.<\/p>\n

Bad News Barker says that Bill Zernickow is feeling better than \u201cOkay\u201d about his team this season at San Dimas. Then again if I had five offensive linemen returning to support a whole slew of skill guys, I\u2019d be feeling better than \u201cOkay\u201d too.<\/p>\n

Note to Singiser: You were right to bench your guys. The Mid Valley Division is serious business, especially if you\u2019ve got a shot.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s tough to make the Knights the favorite with Monrovia, San Dimas, Schurr, Whittier Christian looming large. Arroyo can get there\u2026but they are going to need all hands on deck.<\/p>\n

The Mid: \u201cSo Coach, have the recruiters back backed off now that (Jeff) Worthy has given a verbal to Boise?<\/p>\n

Sergio Gradilla: \u201cNo, they\u2019re still calling. Calling us and asking if he\u2019s sure.”<\/p>\n

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