"...And God Bless Mrs. Sumler." <\/p><\/div>\n

T-Minus-31 Days until \u201cThe Mid Valley Classic\u201d<\/p>\n

Good Evening!<\/p>\n

Sunday night, during dinner, it was brought up what a Temple City victory over Arroyo would mean in Week One… I said the people at The Crest would announce drinks on the house…and the entire Arroyo coaching staff would go on suicide watch…<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know dude, maybe they could pull something?\u201d<\/em><\/strong> A Mid staffer said to me.<\/p>\n

Pull what?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve come to a minor conclusion, maybe if I\u2019m still around next year I\u2019ll make it a major conclusion, but there is infinitely more to talk about regarding prep football from January to July 31st than the first two weeks of August. Most of the discussion threads\/lines have been played out and all that\u2019s left is the action on the field.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m going to stop posting (Got a whole laundry load of \u2018lists\u2019 to get me through), but we do have to guard ourselves from over thinking things…Especially lines like; \u201cMaybe they could pull something…\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Back in 2006 when Arroyo played La Habra in the first round, I had a feeling. It was tough to describe, but I thought; \u201cMaybe they could pull something…\u201d<\/strong><\/em> So I took that game…as the Cheese I could have taken any game I wanted that night. Bad News Barker and Peterson asked if I was sure… I said; \u201cI think they\u2019re going to pull something…\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And I wanted to be there…Even wore my Carolina Blue\/Arroyo sweater vest…and saw a team, represented by a guy in a skirt, take the Knights apart 55-0, November 17, 2006.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been pretty much done with thinking \u201cmaybe they can pull something\u201d<\/em><\/strong> in regards to an underdog ever since…Or at least when I do, I keep it too myself.<\/p>\n

There is part of me wanting to dance with Gladstone as the second place team in the Montview…I like Joe Herrera, but I know folks at G-Stone are concerned how their offensive line is going to hold up.<\/p>\n

A question came up this weekend about former Rosemed Panther Tra Sumler…Last I heard (May) he was well ahead of schedule on recovering from a broken ankle while playing safety at Fullerton last fall…Was also told by coaches on staff that he was the real deal and should have a great season.<\/p>\n

The Mid still “suggests” to the Rosemead coaching staff that every team prayer should close with; “…And God Bless Mrs. Sumler.”<\/em><\/p>\n

After watching the Hall of Fame game last night, I am so thrilled to see Alex Barron playing for the Dallas Cowboys…I wish him a career span of a thousand years, as long as he never again puts on a Rams uniform.<\/p>\n

Maybe its time to re-evaluate some goals in life… It is probably about time I gave up on that dream of flying the space shuttle…as well as the hope of playing quarterback for San Gabriel…Time to admit I\u2019m really not a scheme fit for them.<\/p>\n

From James Escarcega (On the ongoing discussion about prep quarterbacks):<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI noticed that you had a note about QB’s and if they need a ‘big” arm to win a Southeast Division championship.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In a short word, I say yes.\u00a0 but, it is only part of the package.\u00a0 If I had to list the attributes for a successful quarterback – here what I would be looking for….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1)\u00a0 The ability to manage a game.\u00a0How many times do you hear a HC say that his QB may not have the strongest arm, but he can manage a great game.\u00a0That is what separated Kevin Mort from the rest of the QB in the SGV during his senior year in 2005.\u00a0 Look back at the quotes from the game and you’ll see what Bogan’s comments were from the game.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

2)\u00a0 Leadership…. enough said.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

3)\u00a0 The ability to run.\u00a0If you have a QB that is a running threat – i.e. Gus Viramontes last season for Diamond Ranch – it’s an extra threat that a Defensive Coordinator has to account for when formulating the game plan for the game.\u00a0It causes them to have grey hairs.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

4)\u00a0 Arm Strength. The positives for having a big arm are huge.\u00a0As an offensive coordinator, you can dial up\u00a0speed out routes\u00a0from one hash mark to the other and have no worries that the ball will get there.\u00a0 Jacob Shirley was a perfect example last year.\u00a0 About 25% of his completions were throwing speed outs to Ify Umodu from one hash mark to the other.\u00a0 Now, the other part of the equation is that you have to have a WR that can run those routes with a little wiggle.\u00a0 Having a QB that can sling it can really open up a offensive playbook for a offensive coordinator.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

One last point Joe.\u00a0In dealing with college football asst. coaches who are evaluating QB’s their first question is always, \u2018How accurate is arm and how far can he throw it?\u2019”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Add Sunday Night Dinner: \u201cI just don\u2019t know if I\u2019m buying all the hype on Rowland beyond Michael Ball,\u201d<\/em> said one Mid staffer.<\/p>\n

Okay.<\/p>\n

Did go out to Temple City to check up on a comment dropped in yesterday\u2019s Fanview Lite regarding former Gabrielino player Jaime Dea. The running back enrolled at Temple City last semester and is running with the squad. I only saw him for about an hour, but he hits the hole fast…Looks like he has a little bit of Tsai in him.<\/p>\n
