Longtime Arroyo staffer Danny Rios was the real winner at the SGV Shootout on Saturday<\/p><\/div>\n

T-Minus-58 Days until \u201cThe Mid Valley Classic\u201d<\/p>\n

Good Afternoon!<\/p>\n

Schurr performed well down in Mission Viejo…I heard two assistants talking on Thursday at Arroyo saying if the Spartans don\u2019t win the Mid-Valley Division this year then something\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n

Alright, alright, I like Schurr (Sure) but lets not start…you know…crowning them just yet.<\/p>\n

Spartan HC Ben Negrete and crew are in studio tomorrow night. We\u2019ll get some thoughts then.<\/p>\n

Rick Neuheisel and I are tight…<\/p>\n

\u201cI like your motion Joe,\u201d he said. \u201cBut if you let Peterson near a football anywhere in the presence of my son, there will be heck to pay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jerry Neuheisel throws for Loyola.<\/p>\n

Speaking of quarterbacks and quarterback coaches; Gypsy John Tuttle, he of perpetually pre-packed suitcase fame, is currently a free agent.<\/p>\n

Azusa wide receiver Abraham Ochoa made a catch on the sidelines against Monrovia in\u00a0 Saturday\u2019s final of the SGV Shootout that was positively Lynn Swann like.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh he\u2019s the real deal,\u201d said Arroyo HC Jim Singiser about Ochoa.<\/p>\n

Have you noticed this trend starting to form with Azusa? They seem to keep on winning.<\/p>\n

So were we really waiting for the World Cup to end (Oh, and by the way, I have always been a\u00a0 Spain fan), just so we can get to the serious business of the All-Star Home Run Derby?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been to yawning festivals that were more exciting…Yeah a yawning festival…you know, the NHL Draft.<\/p>\n

Last Add Quarterbacks and Coaches: Very early in the year (February?) I wrote about Burbank quarterback Adam Colman. We love him, we think he\u2019s talented, but we also took notice that Anthony Cervantes, Sam Bethany, Jackson Diamond, and Cole Hazlewood, all big playmakers for the Bulldogs in 2009, were all graduating. These four players accounted for 22 of Colman\u2019s 24 touchdown passes.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoach what are you going to do?\u201d I asked Burbank HC Hector Valencia. \u201cYou\u2019ve lost all those receivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know heading into the last year we didn\u2019t have any big time receivers returning,\u201d said Valencia. \u201cAnd we\u2019ve got guys coming this year who are going to step up.\u201d Valencia\u00a0 shared some other concerns…we\u2019ll save for another time.<\/p>\n

Last Add Valencia: \u201cI want to establish tradition, and go back to the old ones.\u201d Valencia hit on previous coaching staffs over the years tinkering with the schools uniform and colors. \u201cI played here, we\u2019re royal blue and that\u2019s what we\u2019re gonna be.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the deal with linemen competitions?<\/p>\n

\u201cI love linemen,\u201d said one local head coach. \u201cThey\u2019re not like these pretty boy receivers and quarterbacks. They don\u2019t need a trophy at the end of the day, they\u2019re happy if we give them a hot dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

As someone who used to put Tabasco on marshmallows for students to eat and gave them whole raw onions to devour while anchoring relay races years ago…I felt right at home watching my first linemen competition at Santa Fe on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Yeah, the weight lifting made sense…but when I saw the football relay…linemen sprinting around the track I understood the torture aspect of it all and smiled (along with everyone else, including Neuheisel). Missed the tug of war and tire toss (if they did that one).<\/p>\n

But hey, Alhambra\u2019s Chris Salgado got to run with the ball.<\/p>\n

The linemen competition at Arroyo this Saturday will include pyramid building, and a sportswriter toss.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey Coach can you back it up a little,\u201d a very confident Wilson quarterback, Brandon Schreiman, said to Wildcat HC Brian Zavala last thursday during a four-way toss at Arroyo.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes sir,\u201d Zavala said.<\/p>\n

Schreiman had a nice weekend, and has moved up on Peterson and Bad News Barker\u2019s lists.<\/p>\n

Last Add LeBron James: The dude can go wherever he wants and that\u2019s that. The only thing he has to live with our the consequences of his choices. The only consequence in the case of him going to Miami is that he is no longer \u2018The Guy\u2019, but a guy.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not Kobe, he\u2019s not Bird, Jordan, or Magic. He\u2019s a guy.<\/p>\n

Charles Barkley said it best: \u201cWhen I was 25, I wanted to be the guy to lead my team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Orlando Magic General Manager Otis Smith was a little harsher: \u201cI thought he (LeBron) was a competitor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Up until this summer all I really knew about Gladstone HC Albert Sanchez were his bad experiences at the CIF offices when the football playoff brackets would come out. The Gladiators would go 8-2 during the regular season, win the Montview, and then get sent to El Morro or some other land of the giants.<\/p>\n

The last month it has become clear to me this guy is stand up all the way.<\/p>\n

With that said, I\u2019m still picking Azusa to win the Montview.<\/p>\n

The real winner at the SGV Shootout was longtime Arroyo staffer Danny Rios, who spent the day under an easy-up guarding trophies and enjoying the shade.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou didn\u2019t get a picture of me while I was sleeping did you?\u201d He asked.<\/p>\n

Arcadia had a nice showing in the passing portion of the Santa Fe extravaganza with back up, south paw, Brian Ponce handling the quarterback duties.<\/p>\n

Of all the groups I saw over the weekend, the players and staff looking like they were having the most fun were \u201cSweet\u201d Lou Torres\u2019 group from Alhambra.<\/p>\n

Now the Moors are not on anybody’s radar, and I\u2019m not trying to put them on anyones radar…but they are having fun…and teams having fun tend to be competitive.<\/p>\n

The Mid Valley poll on who will win the Rio Hondo League was no mystery, what we wanted to see was which school people thought would finish in second place. At the moment San Marino holds a five vote lead over La Canada.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll give you my opinion right now, I\u2019m going with the Spartans.<\/p>\n

Finally connected with Arroyo Lady Knights basketball HC Mike Gorball on Saturday…Yes, it was at Lampost Pizza in El Monte. Give the Gorball credit, he was taking care of his team.<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball Rush Week\u201d is coming…<\/p>\n

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