The Peterson Principle: 9/29/14

By Tim Peterson Cresecenta Valley has always had talented and athletic players. The Falcons run a high powered offense and to do that you need a good quarterback and quick receivers with good hands. For the most part they have had that. But this year there is a difference.

Top Ten: Southeast Division (9/29/14)

By Tim Peterson La Mirada looks invincible right now especially entering Suburban League play. St. Francis and Cathedral are still unbeaten and is La Serna too low at number three? Bellflower and Crescenta Valley, also undefeated, could be on the verge of something big. Nobody has beaten Lynwood; yes we finally noticed.

The Peterson Principle: 9/22/14

Monrovia didn’t lose the game Friday night. St. Francis won it. The Golden Knights took it. When big plays needed to be made, it was St. Francis that made them. The Golden Knights were bigger, deeper, stronger and ultimately better.

Top Ten: Southeast Division (9/21/2014)

By Tim Peterson Another giant is slayed by La Mirada while St. Francis puts it on Central Division power Monrovia. La Serna continues to impress and Cathedral and Bellflower are unbeaten. So is Crescenta Valley which is why the Falcons jumped to number seven. Norwalk? 44-6? Really? Lancers fall to five.
