The Peterson Principle: 11/9/14

By Tim Peterson The CIF selections are in and now it’s time for the yelling and screaming. I wish there was one year that it wasn’t necessary…just one…but this is not going to be that year.

The Peterson Principle: 11/3/14

Man, I thought I was going to make it through unscathed Friday night. There were some drizzles early but my thinking was like Bill Murray’s character Carl Spackler in Caddyshack “I don’t think the heavy stuff will come down for quite awhile.”

By Tim Peterson Jordan Lobianco had a big game for Crescenta Valley Friday night. He caught an 82-yard touchdown pass, and returned an interception 10 yards for a touchdown. He was good enough to have his highlights shown on “The Challenge” with Fred Roggin and Petros Papadakis Sunday night on NBC.

By Tim Peterson Didn’t you just know Muir would pick it up in the Pacific? When the Mustangs were 0-3 there was the talk that they had lost it, that they weren’t the same team, that they were now a bottom tier team in league. So much for that huh?

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.

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.

By Tim Peterson Man I really wanted to see what would have happened in the Pomona – Mission Prep game last Friday night. If it wasn’t financially possible for the school make the trip to San Luis Obispo then that’s fine. But why schedule the game?

The Peterson Principle: 9/8/14

I keep hearing about Pomona. I mention that San Dimas is the team to beat in the Mid-Valley Division after last week’s loss to Monrovia and I keep hearing about Pomona. I see San Dimas beat a more physical Los Altos team Friday night by converting a two point conversion late in the fourth and […]
