    Not a Rosemead guy, but I felt he was never a good fit there.

    The word is that the principal is taking control and hiring a family member. No interviews. Just her way or nothing. Kids aren’t excited and probably not going to show.

    ‘Legend”: correct you are , but do they have an A.D. and or a Principal that really cares? Or is it possible that an assistant will be hired? Too bad for student athletes, and the high school too, if the position is not opened up I suggest

    The Rosemead AD really need to find a coach that is gonna bring the kids out to play. Its sad to see what the program has become the last couple of years.

    All they achieved ????? Forfeits due to conduct and eligibility issues .

    Maybe the program can start moving in the right direction now . The MVL has deteriorated into D14 brigade and Rosemead was completely unable to take advantage ; when they finally beat Arroyo, it was meaningless!
    because they were both bottom feeders .

    It’s not exactly correct to say Slayton stepped down, because that program was so low, any movement away from it is a step up. The NEXT ‘Mead coach will be taking a step down.
