Blair HC Gary Parks wants to know the number of the train that hit his team on Saturday..."The Johnny Calderon Express"<\/p><\/div>\n
Good Evening<\/p>\n
What? No countdown?<\/span><\/p>\n Spent a rough afternoon watching Blair and Bosco Tech go at it. I like the Vikings’ Gary Parks attitude, but nice guys can still lose 35-6. B.T.’s Johnny Calderon was terrific.<\/span><\/p>\n Eerie. Ten years and one day before Friday night Mike Mooney was making his debut as Temple City\u2019s head coach. The Rams had a lead with one minute to play when Arroyo\u2019s Eric Duenas went deep down the middle of the field to \u201cHe Who Must Not Be Named\u201d<\/em> Matt Vogel for the game winner in the final minute for the win.<\/span><\/p>\n All is Right with the World Dept:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Rosemead\u2019s Joey Diaz ran for 233-yards on 29-carries against Covina, so Matt Koffler has his battering ram at tailback. <\/span><\/p>\n After another 50-plus bomb, we\u2019re going to start calling the San Dimas offense, \u201cThe Pete Maravich Offense\u201d…<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ve been asked twice why Temple City didn\u2019t kick the field goal in the final minutes before giving Arroyo the ball back. Drew Tinsley does have a great leg, but the lead was only 24-21 and too much can go wrong on a field goal. They did the right thing, pin the Knights deep and let the defense take care of it.<\/span><\/p>\n As mentioned in the story Chris Rodriguez won a jump ball and made a great play.<\/span><\/p>\n All Time Kick-Off Returns for Touchdowns in \u201cMid Valley Classic\u201d History: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Arroyo: (1999 ) Matt Vogel 89-yards, (2007) Jose Martinez 93-yards, <\/span><\/p>\n Temple City: (1989) Chris Antonio 92-yards, (1998) Greg Flammang 98-yards,<\/span><\/p>\n (2001) Antonio Wagner 95-yards, (2002) Desmond Reed 89-yards, (2004) Carlos Lopez 95-yards, (2009) Max Ruckle 86-yards<\/span><\/p>\n I never had a doubt about the USC game.<\/span><\/p>\n Arroyo\u2019s Mike \u201cLet\u2019s Rock!\u201d Vasquez is the best back Arroyo has had since Anthony Olivas and hits the hole faster.<\/span><\/p>\n After Temple City fumbled an exchange between Justin Smith and Ruben Jara a voice in the crowd yelled; \u201cBring back Backus!\u201d… Of course they weren’t saying a thing in the fourth quarter…<\/span><\/p>\n Arroyo announcer Doug Stevens needs to come back down from the press booth and work the sideline. I miss the nights of dodging a 5,000 foot microphone cord for four quarters.<\/span><\/p>\n I still hate Notre Dame…great to see them lose.<\/span><\/p>\n Nearly had a \u201cDo you know who I am?\u201d moment in the second half of TC-Arroyo, but I handled it with quiet dignity and grace.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s time for Fresno State to put up or shut up…<\/span><\/p>\n How good was TC’s Justin Sutton Friday? He helped plow the road for Ruckle, recovered a fumble for a touchdown, recorded two sacks, and blew up countless plays. Oh yeah, and he\u2019s wearing Soumakian\u2019s number. When you put it all together the kid should have been declared illegal.<\/span><\/p>\n Is it just me or are UCLA games just not an event worth planning for?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The whole afternoon was painful for Blair on Saturday<\/p><\/div>\n Stay thirsty my friends…<\/p>\n 110<\/span><\/p>\n Fanview Lite appears Monday thru Saturday at www.midvalleysports.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n![\"The](\"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/DSC_0069-300x292.jpg\" "\\"DSC_0069\\"")
