Yes, victory, or defeat, in the Smudge Pot really does mean something.<\/p><\/div>\n

T-Minus-24 Days until \u201cThe Mid Valley Classic\u201d<\/p>\n

Good Morning!<\/p>\n

Smudge Pot #1: November 17, 1972 at Bonita.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the course of the football season Bonita had been using a Turkish battle cry; \u201cAzizleri Hakla!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until halftime of the first Smudge Pot game with San Dimas that its meaning was announced; \u201cBeat the Saints!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t work. <\/strong><\/p>\n

After a scoreless first quarter, SD\u2019s Wayne Moses returned a punt 63-yards for the first touchdown of the game and this intense rivalry. In third quarter Moses ran 28-yards for another touchdown to make it 14-0 San Dimas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Things went from bad to worse for the Bearcats when punter Harold Drake had a snap sail over his head. Scooping up the ball his attempt at a kick was blocked by Tony Perez and recovered by Randy Spahr, who returned it 23-yards to paydirt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Down three scores, Bonita was forced into another punting situation. This time Drake\u2019s punt hit his up-back, SD\u2019s Bob Rollins picked up the ball and went in for the game\u2019s fourth touchdown.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the fourth quarter, after Dave Johnson intercepted a Bearcat pass by Bruce McNaught (2 of 15 for 28-yards), San Dimas quarterback Steve Barnard hit John Kerfoot from 14-yards for another score.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bonita would collect only three first downs the entire night as it finished the season 2-7.<\/strong><\/p>\n

San Dimas finished 3-4 in the Hacienda League, 5-4 overall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amazing what a little research can turn up on the Smudge Pot game…I am totally bought it…Staff assignments done for zero week…Others took San Gabriel-Muir, Rowland-Baldwin Park, and that game between Charter Oak and Glendora…I took the Smudge…<\/p>\n

Now if I can only get some preferred parking…Perhaps Podley can work something out for me…<\/p>\n

Monday night\u2019s lineup for \u201cRush Week\u201d (August 23) includes Jim Singiser, Matt Koffler, and Whittier Christian HC Sergio Gradilla and DC Pete Karavedas.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know, I kind of liked the video. Bag on me if you didn\u2019t like the El Monte video, but saying the Lions will have a bad season or good season based on 2:44 clip is like saying Tim Tebow will be rookie of the year in the NFL just because he scored a touchdown last night.<\/p>\n

Of course that\u2019s one more touchdown offensively in one game than the Dallas Cowboys have scored in two games and eight quarters this preseason. Smile.<\/p>\n

Folks really seem to like Bell Gardens chances this season. I like them too, there\u2019s just a lot of congestion at the top of the Almont.<\/p>\n

With the Dodgers ten games out now, I\u2019m still waiting for the Padre collapse that was supposed to have arrived about a month or so ago…<\/p>\n

Final Add Dodgers: Matt Kemp is one of the few reasons to watch the team play, mistake to trade him. Not unless Roger Cedeno is available.<\/p>\n

Go EMA!<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball Rush Week\u201d is coming\u2026August 23-27.<\/p>\n

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