Great come aboard&#8230;I like to give first timers an important piece of advice: Kickers go fast in our league&#8230;so draft a kicker with your first two picks&#8230;CHAMPIONSHIP!<\/p>\n<p>Trust me.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I\u2019ve always been a Casey Blake fan&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Baseball question to my friend Landestoy Luke; Did people write off Vlad Guerrero a little too early?<\/p>\n<p>Answer to the question regarding Hall of Fame game&#8230; It\u2019s the event not the game.<\/p>\n<p>In fact I have to admit the game makes me a little bit sad&#8230;It\u2019s the last time we\u2019ll see most of the players&#8230; As they played I began thinking on how quick it all came and went.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, I came and went pretty quick myself&#8230;I was gone at the start of the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Anything happen in the second half?<\/p>\n<p>Interesting seeing Monrovia\u2019s Josh Lowden wearing Temple City Rams horns on his helmet&#8230;Then I was thinking he really shouldn\u2019t have gotten those horns unless the West team won.<\/p>\n<p>Became a Gus Viramontes fan midway through last season, I was just curious as to why he was one of the few players on the East roster that didn\u2019t have a college designation next to his name in the program.<\/p>\n<p>I want to lobby for a fifth year of eligibility. Still only four years of high school, but offer a fifth year of football after graduation. Let the option rest with the players, they can move on to college or comeback to their high school team for one more season. The coaches of course could be protected by not having to start or play them. The results would be a more mature player and better football. Also the player who really began to flower halfway through his senior season could be fully developed with the extra year instead of lost in the murk of junior college ball.<\/p>\n<p>Did anyone see Chino Hills at the Bonita Tourney this weekend? Before every game they would get in a circle and jump saying: \u201cChino Hills will never give up\u201d about fifteen times, then spread out and a guy in the center would do a back flip and then they&#8217;d come together for a break.<\/p>\n<p>Had this back and forth with San Dimas Saint Theo Darlington:<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Mid:<\/span><\/strong> What is it like going into the summer as defending champion?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Darlington:<\/strong><\/span> Excited to show everyone that we intend to keep our champion status, but anxious knowing that every other team is gunning for us, especially Monrovia.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Mid:<\/span><\/strong> What position or positions are you gonna be playing this season?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Darlington:<\/span><\/strong> Fullback and varios positions on the d-line.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Mid:<\/span><\/strong> How do you feel about the smudgepot being in Zero Week?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Darlington: <\/span><\/strong>Well Its nice to just get it over with, will be a great start to our football season.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Mid:<\/span><\/strong> Do you play another another sport&#8230;do you dream about football during the off season?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Darlington:<\/span><\/strong> I wrestle, and yes I do miss football during the off season.
