Hopefully maxie and Pasadena are able to get past Arcadia maxies former school so Muir can show him who’s king and what he missed when he didn’t get the head job
As an Amat alum, I’m hoping they fall to D2 and win it all. It would be such a boost for the program as a whole. Constantly winning league just to get dragged by the MD and SJB of the world is getting old. They need a ring to bring their name back.
People don’t understand that the demographics have changed at Alhambra high it has become more Asian less Hispanic and African-American. Not many Asian kids play football and if they do there just learning how to play and haven’t played youth football. Also not sure if they have brought back the Thunderbird youth program that would feed Alhambra kids.
Let Schurr win league they won’t get passed second round. No one in the Almont will go far in the playoffs real team coming Schurr’s way.
@alhambra are you the one starting that rumor?? Alhambra loses, fire the coaches. Alhambra wins fire the coaches. You must be Noah’s dad
Calm down moors !!
@ron nobody plays to lose but the issue with Pete at Montebello is that he has made it a family affair at Montebello and there is some of the fan base that doesn’t like this and wants him out as coach. Pete’s son is OC and apparently being groomed to take over after Pete decides to leave and some don’t think his a good coach
Peterson had it right on this one…Cal had their moments versus La Serna, but ultimately the team with the most horses won the race. Those horses come from the entire Del Rio attendance area, and they come on the heels of a thing called open enrollment, which tells families that their sons and daughters can join the rich kids on the hill, presumably to get a better education. Until this situation changes, we can look forward to La Serna’s dominance in practically every category.
@ron our coach David will find a way to screw it up like we have always done under him. Wouldn’t be shocked if we lost to Montebello this week. Bring back Aaron Cantu and Carlos as co head coaches
Goldie
Dezzy will not comeback on this site lmfao.
Also SEM loss was massive in terms of playoffs they probably miss out and that’s a big deal given on how weak the league is this year. Massive coaching failure!
@ “Alhambra”: Troll, troll, troll.
@ Anon: I can guarantee that Montebello was playing to win last night. The score was tied at 27-all in the fourth quarter, but Alhambra outplayed the Oilers in the closing minutes to win the game.
In addition, why would a team that was already 0-2 in league deliberately tank? You have to qualify for the playoffs first in order to get into a playoff division.
I also don’t think that the San Gabriel Matadors would spoil their perfect regular season by taking an intentional 35-0 dump against Bell Gardens. An ugly loss like that isn’t a good way to set up for a playoff run.
Lol and Ramos is from and lives where.
Lol! The peanut gallery has arrived! It’s only taken about 10 years for any other team in the Almont to be relevant. Give me a break. All the teams in the Almont are soft. Including my Montebello. As for blaming the coaching staff? I don’t get it. It happens to all the area teams except La Serna. Every team will have down years. This year is Montebello. But who cares? Only the clowns that have been waiting to say something. Get real…
@B is G, good and sound programs don’t tank they WIN. Dirty and unsound programs tank. It’s about the integrity of the game.
Perspective shift for the Almont and SG, San Gabriel didn’t improve drastically….. rather Montebello really fell of this year. Interesting games to play:
SG vs Alhambra
Schurr vs BG
and wait for it… Keppel vs Montebello. Lol
El Monte beat SEM! I’d say I’m shocked but nothing SEM can do this season would shock me. Still it’s a terrible look for the swampmen Is that a worse loss than the Glendale loss?
@Dez Dez you’ve got some explaining to do, how in the hell did that happen?
I get the frustration with Pete but he has stabilized the program before him we were underachievers. No coach is perfect but he has done a good job overall. But like with everything there is a shelf life and maybe Pete’s time has come been at Montebello for I think 10 years now.
Rumor around Alhambra high is there is a coaching change coming at the end of the year new principal wants to put his stamp on things his not looking to use the job as a stepping stone to a administration position in the district office like the two previous principals.
@ Not RV: I like the humorous touch there, but I would never make that kind of a brash prediction. We play the games one at a time, and we’ll give it our best shot every week.
Two more wins would definitely put us in the playoffs, but that’s looking too far ahead. We have to win at San Gabriel first.
@ Anonymous & Joe: Schurr is now by itself at the top of the Almont League standings, and the Spartans have the clearest path to the league title. Alhambra, Bell Gardens, and San Gabriel are in a three-way tie for second place.
It’s usually a mistake to underestimate or disregard the Schurr Spartans.
@ Biggest Shock: You might get a few points for using colorful language, but your comment would’ve made a lot more sense two years ago.
In my opinion, Alhambra’s 55-48 win on the road against a tough Montebello team in 2019 has been the closest thing to a signature win for Coach Bergstrom. That hard-fought victory enabled us to win out and take the Almont League title that year.
We hope the best is yet to come.
Good move!!!
Good move.
Are you kindling me. This comment is coming from someone that does not wear any hardware on there hands. What planet are you from all year coaches are preaching winning for 14 weeks. You sound like an everybody get a trophy guy.
Real soft my friend real soft
Montebello, San Gabriel, Rosemead and Los Altos all lost on purpose to try to get into a lower division.
How did El Monte beat South?!?! Lol
As we look forward to next week’s Warren vs Downey and ER vs La Serna games, we have to ask the odd question: what’s more important, local bragging rights…or a CIF ring? The winner of these two games will face tougher competition in the playoffs as a penalty for winning local bragging rights, and that could mean an early playoff exit, with no hardware to show the grandkids twenty years from now.
Those who insist that coaches and players would never knowingly throw a game are missing the point. In the back of each player’s mind is the thought that they’re going to the playoffs anyway, and that there’s an UPSIDE to losing. It’s there in their heads, and the fans know it too. Also, why risk injury in a hard-fought local game, when a rested, healthy roster is needed in the playoffs?
Simply put, winning this local skirmish at the cost of injury and playoff penalty doesn’t make sense in the big picture. Tanking, consciously or not, keeps these teams on track to claim the big prize.
SG you know! Well I guess they didn’t know good job boys young team getting better every week coach Salazar good job bring back that BG blue collar toughness back. BG you know!!!!!!
In a game they were favored to win, the Mats of San Gabriel let hapless Bell Gardens rip them a new one, 35-0. The good news is that Vrooman will soon appear, telling us how Alhambra’s win over awful Montebello is a signature win for Bergstrom. In years past, beating Montebello gave the victor a leg-up on the league title…this year, it’s a fart in a whirlwind.
Alhambra going to show SG who’s king and daddy of the AUSD next week.
Were all the coach Eric haters now at Alhambra after we won. We going to get two more wins and go to the playoffs
What are the odds now that El Monte is going to end up in the playoffs, likely D14 and be a favorite for another championship that we have coach C suddenly back on the sidelines saying he was just joking.
We all know BG wants to be like schurr they keep hiring former schurr assistant coaches to be there head coach
Don’t look now, but I think Spat and staff has got Bassett in first place. I looked on MaxPreps and they have one less game than Garey and Ganesha. I follow him every since he coached my son and he works miracle and low and behold they are in the first place with two games left. Bassett 37, Garey 7
When Daddy Pete let’s son Pete run everything this is the result! Heard there is a bunch a tension between the coaches cause they are not allowed to coach told what to do.
Pete has been at Montebello for awhile now more than 5 years and had success the last couple of years but this year is a rebuilding year
5 turnovers in the 1st half and the absence of a very key player. Halftime adjustments worked well
Relax, we know football doesn’t work that way, LS is favored, if we want it we must go take it from them.
I’m not sure how long Gonzalez has been there but I know since he has he’s ran the almont and made I believe two semi finals. its a bad year. Some times the little brother wins a game of madden, it’s okay.
Get that South coach out of there couldn’t even beat a JV EM team. Guy will have some kind of excuse I remember two years ago his kids wanted to go trick or treating week 10 sp just to cancel the game. Gtfoh with that.
Here comes all the ER talking about how LS only beat Cal by so much when they beat th by more. Don’t give LS no fuel to run it up next week just talk nice this week.
Rosemead with there three play coach gets torched. Just like I knew they would. Hopefully nobody spoke bad in the stands or mama in law will post how mean they are.
MV gots to learn how to win. They had that game against Gabrielino and instead of their RB running out of bounds he runs in and fumbles. But then you got Gabrielino and their coaches celebrating like they just won CIF comes on guys.
Warren and Downey next week is going to be crazy! Warren I could see being the favorite but damn it’s going to be fire works.
Amat loses to a team that’s their level and got hammering their chest after beating yearly D4 schools like La Habra and Damien. They’re fall to D2 or D3 they’ll have a great show at a ring.
Charter Oak is one year away, but could still be a big threat in this years playoffs.
South Hills! Wow!
SG might just blow it and miss the playoffs
SV not wanting to play this week but their HC another game. Should be coaching up your kids.
BP hasn’t played a murderers role but if they get ranked anywhere from D11 to D14 they’ll make a run, same thing goes for Arroyo. I’d love to see that match up.
A Monrovia vs SP playoff game would be exciting.
“Rant” over…
What’s going on at Montebello? Looks like Pete can’t win without recruiting. Bet he becomes that used car salesman this off-season and gets what he needs. Looks like the Pete that first got to Montebello horrible teams until he started pulling kids.
How do you manipulate your team to keep the pedal to the metal to sore on your last possession in the waning moments of a running clock out of hand game?
Easy, you tell them they are about to set a scoring record for their school. However to do so they would have had to score a 21 point touchdown in their last possession to tie their scoring record..
Too bad Cal Preps is around to demonstrate the truth
As Wooden said “Sports do not build character, they reveal it “
If Cal doesn’t give up that pick 6 they win that game. No pick 6 and La Serna would have stressed out and Cal could have relaxed.
Was the score correct. Santa Fe had El Rancho 14-14 in the 3rd quarter? What happened in the 1st half ?
@anonymous
So if BG is the “daddy” in the almont , then what does that make Schurr ? Cus the Spartans spanked BG.
Hard fight win for Alhambra maybe it turns the year around need to win the next two games against Sg and bell gardens.
Bell gardens showed Sg who’s daddy in the almont dominating them from start to finish. Tune up game next week against keppel then Alhambra for the marbles
BG 28 -SG O end of 3rd qtr. BG much more physical and multiple turnovers hurt. SG.
Same ole SP!! They beat all the little guys until they face a team that have a few players. They got out coached again. They will never be the storied program they once were. Get rid of all the coaching staff and bring the old guys back!!
EVERYBODY has St. Francis sweating since Bonds died. Remember, the Swordsmen were given a severe test by a depleted Diamond Ranch club.
Kudos SP…. They had Sf sweating till the last second . lol
