The Peterson Principle: 3/4/2025

By Tim Peterson Glendora and West Covina have not hired head coaches as of yet which is probably a good thing. Both are solid programs and when you’re trying to replace a successful coach like Brandon Roher at Glendora or a legend like Mike Maggiore at West Covina you have to get it right.

By Tim Peterson Maranatha Madness I’m hearing good things out of Pasadena- specifically from the campus of Maranatha High School.

By Tim Peterson I didn’t make it out to Charter Oak last Thursday night for the scrimmage between the Chargers and Northview. Who won? Well based on what side of the field you were on both teams did.

By Tim Peterson I’m still waiting for the official new head football coach announcement by a local school. It’s not a bombshell or earth-shattering news by any stretch. The fate of the world doesn’t hang in the balance. Heck, a lot of people won’t even care.

By Tim Peterson I understand the premise of not releasing a new coaching hire until it’s official. “It’s pending board approval and we still have to tell the kids and do the background checks” is the common mantra that I hear from sources (Athletic Directors, coaches or otherwise) when I’m informed a new head football […]
