Good list. I agree with it but I don’t know about Miramonte. Heard they were down this year. I have a question. If Encinal loses to Serra friday do they move out the top 15?
September 14th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
ManDown,I believe we won’t have to anwser that question. Jet Pride.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
ManDown, I’d say it’d be highly unlikely they’d drop all the way out with a loss. Maybe if they lost 70-0 or something, but I highly doubt that will happen. If you notice, College Park technically moved up a bit after losing to Serra.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Jimmy,I believe we’ll beat these guys.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
we will see about miramonte after the game they play up in washington…should be interesting. glacier peak is a very good team highly ranked in that state
September 15th, 2009 at 12:21 am
The list isnt bad. Only team i disagree with on there is Miramonte. They have 1 great player in King but other than him the team is below average. Only way they are even making playoffs is because they are playing in a watered down DFAL… the DFAL has really gone down hill this year, while the EBAL, BVAL, and DVAL league races should be as competitive as ever
September 15th, 2009 at 5:11 am
can some one explain to the players at b-high,how there hard work cause them to drop in the polls if they are to be based on play the past weekend. what do the voters expect from them.they played two good teams and they did what they had to do “win”.
September 15th, 2009 at 7:52 am
With the top four teams having lost a game or just barely squeaked by, the top of this list is up for grabs this year. I don’t remember that from previous years.
September 15th, 2009 at 8:06 am
No votes for SRV ? It’s going to be tough to get noticed with their schedule. They may surprise some voters when it comes to league.
September 15th, 2009 at 8:07 am
B-High should at be on the top 3 and how does Logan get from not being ranked last week to being ranked 11 and they lost and their forfeit win against Fremont of oakland dont count cuz fremont had to forfeit again to st liz. Granda or Salesian should be in the top 15
September 15th, 2009 at 9:44 am
List looks good, but the Newcomer in town Valley Christian (Dublin). Keep an eye on them.. They are playing Sacred Heart Prep on Friday 3:30.. Watch out.
September 15th, 2009 at 10:03 am
B-High is best in the Bay I’ve seen so far and I kno for a fact far better then MV….They didn’t look to good against Logan
September 15th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Does Cal high deserve to still be on the list?
September 15th, 2009 at 10:18 am
Cal High, come on you have to put and SRV team that beat a quality West team handily over an 0-2 Cal High. To all B High fans, Deer Valley does look good this year but I think you are getting the shaft because of your league.
September 15th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Logan goes from unranked to ranked because they lost by 3 to #2 Monte Vista, and should have won. Dropped TD pass with under a minute (wide open), and missed fg at regulation. They are clearly good, and worthy of their ranking.
Is berkeley better than last year? If not, then Monte Vista beats them. Berkeley has talent, yes, but I think they are too vanilla on offense and defense to beat top teams.
September 15th, 2009 at 10:30 am
We shall see when B-High plays Pitt
September 15th, 2009 at 10:49 am
hey stiffarm
SRV isnt very good anymore… They will lose to Concord in a couple weeks
September 15th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Logan droppes wide open touchdowns with under a minute left in the game and missed a field goal at regulation and they are ranked because of that??..cant be serious….
September 15th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
drops*
September 15th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
no they are ranked because they very well could have won that game..losing to #2 ranked team by 3 pts no shame in that…i mean who do you put in over them? maybe granada but until they start winning meaningful games it is tough…they have no history of winning, so one win is not going to do it. while i do believe granada is very very talented they have a few more proving games until ranked over logan. we will find out when granada plays foothill and mv, as logan plays foothill this week..that will be the telling sign. since i don’t think granada playing too tough of non-league schedule in hopes of riding the ebal power strength of conference at 5-5 to get in.
it will shake itself out…as deer valley plays logan coming up. logan vs foothill, serra vs encinal. then league starts with good ebal, bval matchups along with clayton valley vs cp and logan vs wash. problem is b-high hasn’t played anyone and has nobody on their league schedule worth noting. while you cant control who you play in league you can control who you play out of league. logan plays mv, foothill, deer valley…washington plays cal, deer valley, cp, tracy high…cp testing themselves with washinton and already serra. so when you come from weaker leagues you got to show what you can do out of league…ebal and bval don’t have to since their conferences tough enough already.
while saying that i do thing berkeley is a good team, but you can’t just annoint them top 3 based on 2 wins when they haven’t even played a top opponent from east bay yet.
September 15th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Berkeley plays Pittsburgh in two weeks so that should say a lot about where they are at and whether they deserve to be in the top tier of the East Bay rankings.
September 15th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
very good point Eastbayscout. Too early to put B-High up there. When B-High play pitt then true rankings will come out.
September 15th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Them what u guys r really sayin is it is too early for any High School Poll to be out because it is too early to put anybody up in a top 25 list b/c nobody hasn’t really proved anything
September 15th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
true but why most early polls are based on history rather than current…but a big win early in season or bad loss at least gives a good indication…but without either of those it is too early to judge many teams
September 15th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
True but I think the Poll should after week 3 or 4
September 15th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
If Newark goes 3-0 do they deserve to be in
September 15th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Berkeley high should not have dropped in the polls, but thats ok. The teams ranked ahead of them, with exception,to Deer Valley deserve their rankings. Clayton Valley, Encinal, are two good teams, that would beat Deer Valley. We all have to wait and see, maybe its a down year for the EBAL. Pitt looked average in sac, so did B H S, versus a down Freedom team, great defense, cant pass or block well. The real coach Carter will have his troops prepared week in and week out to compete. Its early, so lets give these rankings some game, and wait and see.
September 15th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
c-high hasnt played anybody. de anza and jefferson suck and any average team SHOULD blow them out by 50 points. c-high beatin bad teams but not gonna whup srv high on the road. west is comparable to cal high this season. i think cal high has been steppin out of the comfort zone to look good, but it hurts them because they lose all the time. i think we’ll know more after cal plays west and srv. if they go 0-4 they were definitely overated and overhyped. srv better bet cuz they dont got no expectations. ebals gunna be a mess.
quote me here gonna be hella upsets.
dv high is good and SHOULD be with 3000+ pop. just like b-high should be good with ZO and 3000+ pop. dey should play preseason cuz they bigass schools. B-high
Logan SL-high and DV should always play non league cuz NCS seedings and they the biggest schools in the section. dont do nuthin if they play out of section teams when they should be playin each other.
September 15th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Berkeley should have moved up instead of dropping back. Whats up with that?
San Leandro will be back in there soon.
When Berkerley plays Pittsburgh and when Monte Vista plays De La Salle, thats when spots will change around a bit. As well as when Cal plays Foothill and O’ Dowd ( who will rech the poll soon ) play San Leandro.
September 15th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
im confused at why foothill is ranked so high. they barely got passed novato. i know they have a good quarterback but their whole offensive line running backs and wide receivers are not returning starters. also i think they only have 2 or 3 returning starters on defnese. they also lossed their best running back oscar harris due to expulsion. why are they ranked so high? somebody inform me
September 15th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
My revised Poll after correcting my errant ways with a few additional comments for spice.
1. Berkeley – Hitters with size, speed and now a system for them in 2009. Alonzo has this team believing they will win them all.
2.Deer Valley – They will beat Logan by at least 20 points, and they Might run the table in 2009 FAST! Not another team besides Encial that can match their speed across the board.
3.Monte Vista – good win vs. an above average Logan team. The next three games will tell the story.
4.De La Salle – OUCH! Switch to Power I running attack BIG mistake. Spartans are Lost for offense and this will be a rough year for them.
5.Encinal – dominating team. If they beat Serra they move to # 1. They might win them all again. Unmatched speed at their division level of play.
6.Foothill – ?? Hmmmm…???? Hmmmmmmmm…??? Hmmmmmm???
7.Heritage – Win vs. much smaller opponent two divisions below them, but the Mt. Carmel victory still carries the Mo. Strong team all around.
8.Amador – Sleeper in 09, very quiet down there, angry are the Dons? But how angry?
9.Concord – Nobody much believes the Minutemen are for real. Thrashing all parties – can out-shoot everybody they play, 8 games a sure thing, might win Ten games
10.Miramonte – Mats keep on winning and winning and winning.
11.Pittsburg – Horrible showing vs. Granite Bay, QB issues galore. Top 11 pick a benefit of the doubt. When Pitt loses to Berkeley they will drop out of the Top 15.
12. College Park – Blowout vs. Alhambra good win.
13. Logan – not the same program it was 6 years ago, but above average and will win 8 games. When Logan loses to Deer Valley, they will plunge from the Elite ranks too.
14.Washington – Win vs. a very stiff & cardboard cutout Cal High team looks worse now. Cal high will finish 4 – 6 in 2009, losing to Washington, Del Oro, DLS, MV, Foothill and Amador, maybe worse.
15. Campolindo – Tougher than people think again.
September 16th, 2009 at 6:37 am
KillerD, does the “D” stand for delusional? Berkeley would lose to every single team in the EBAL with the exception of maybe Livermore, who would give them a game. Pittsburg will expose them.
September 16th, 2009 at 7:53 am
Pittsburgh is a little suspect at the QB position this year fellas. I hear he has a lot on his plate. He may need a few weeks to get good
September 16th, 2009 at 8:36 am
Gotta agree with you Proudpapa (#15), Berkeley High is very vanilla on offense… run the clock out and play sound defense. With the athletes BHS has there’s no reason they should be using TE’s and FB’s, Get The Athletes On The Field. If they think they’re goin to roll into Pitt and play smashmouth football they’re trippin. Granite Bay tried it, and got their Top RB knocked out the game. GBHS finally wised up and worked the edges and the passing game and took control of the game.
On another note, San Leandro is not that good, I know they have 2 losses to good teams but saw that comin when I ventured out to their scrimmage and saw them get rolled by Concords spread offense 4tds to 2tds, their 2nd TD came on the last play. They were real fired up but got quiet real quick (TD 1st play by CHS).
I hope they get their act together by league.
September 16th, 2009 at 10:23 am
That Don Bosco Prep in New Jersey is for real… A friend saw the game and said,”THEY HIT VERY HARD,PLAY AT A FRENZIED PACE AND NEVER STOP COMMING AT YOU”.
September 16th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Concord shouldn’t be on there. They haven’t played anybody. They schedule all cupcake teams with the exception of SRV.
September 16th, 2009 at 11:27 am
Concord’s name keeps getting thrown around so it’s time to set the record straight
SAN RAMON VALLEY NO MATTER WHO IS COACHING OR PLAYING for the Wolves should be favored vs the minutemen. They are a fantastic community and program that has produced champions for generations.
The spread much like the double wing is tough to prepare for so concord should hold an advantage in a scrimmage situation, if they rolled San Leandro it was a product of lack of preparation/conditioning to play against what the minutemen do, not a defining statement about San Leandro.
September 16th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
I am personally excited to see what happens in that Concord – San Ramon Valley game in two weeks.
So far, Concord has played two marginal teams and with Skyline not being who they used to be, this week’s game is again not a true test.
September 25 we should have a better idea if Concord is the real deal.
September 16th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
If Concord wins that big game at SRV, I think they will be their league champs. I mean, it’d be a pity to get a big non league game and then lose to other D-I and D-II teams in the dval. BUT SRV is overwhelmingly favored, it’s unbelievable how good they are at home, especially in non-league, but I must share this with you all
SRV’s total non league record going back to 2001 is 29-1-1. that’s a .935 winning percentage. calpreps.com
SRV hasn’t lost a non-league game since 2005 to San Leandro on the road. They also have a tie on the road to Washington in 2007. The Wolves have won every single home non-league game since 2001 and overall 29 out of 31 non league times since then.
Concord vs SRV will be a very exciting game for sure, because SRV ran the spread to the best sucess in 2007 beating Cardinal Newman to win NCS 3A.
September 16th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
High School Sports Junkie Says: Newark will not be 3-0. They’re playing a very good Milpitas team that has size speed and talent. Alameda and Castro Valley are very weak teams. Milpitas will blow out Newark…
September 16th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
any team from the last 8 years at SRV would roll through concord HS… but SRV is half the team it was a year ago and Concord has some talent. I fully expect Concord to win, and i say Concord should be the favorite… SRV will only beat LIvermore in EBAL play, thats how bad they are
September 16th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
Not as bad as Livermore.. SRV is tough to peg as retooling because even when they are they manage to have a winning season. beating West, an okay team, had a good RB as well, so I don’t think the defense will be as weak against the run. last year DLS and Cal High with their star RB’s wreaked havoc. I think Hightower will get his yards but what about the rest of the team? West plays Cal High and Cal is a running team somewhat too, so next week we’ll have a better idea how good SRV compares to EBAL competition with a common opponent.
The knock I have on concord is they were favored last year too and didn’t perform that well. they have experience from games both this year and last year, but they don’t play very good competition. they return key players but now that means high expectations. how much pressure does that make? srv has none right now there is no focus on them and they are looking to compete with everybody and surprise people. they are always underestimated. because of that you’ve got to favor srv as a team regardless if they are hosting.
that said, i hope it is a good game, because any help the wolves can get they will use for the ebal. i have a feeling they will beat cal high in the ebal opener and play more teams closer than people think. as for concord, they play an oal team like srv next week so best of luck to both. its always interesting to see the oal teams because they offer unique sets with talented athletes and offenses not regularly seen.
September 16th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
Granada had a solid appearance in their 1st week of play and Speedy Atkinson III is their horse and the real deal… Head Coach Silva has a swarming linebacker core with 5 or 6 hats on the football at the end of most plays on defense. Great games and loaded with talent ahead for the entire EBAL division in 2009.
September 17th, 2009 at 7:58 am
I to agree that SRV is in a great position to do some things with the attention going to other EBAL teams and I believe they will win their EBAL opener vs CAL high. The CHS/SRV game will be a very intriguing matchup, trading touchdown for touchdown, it may come down to who has the ball last. Concord has not played anybody yet, so it will be time to put up or shut up and it is still a mystery as to who SRV really is. It will all be settled on the football field… Forget watching De La gettin their faced kicked in by Lakeland, CHS and SRV will be the game to watch Sep 25.
September 17th, 2009 at 8:52 am
Are we really having this discussion about SRV and Concord. Even in a bad year, SRV is at least two touchdowns better than a good Concord team.
As Ochocinco says, ‘Child Please’ SRV is going to Kiss the Baby
September 17th, 2009 at 9:30 am
AMEN!
Concord should stay off this blog and start trying to figure out how to save face after a big loss.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Concord will win the game i am calling it. And it isnt the ground game SRV needs to fair, sure hightower might break a long run but SRV needs to prepare for rhe east bays best Junior QB Ricky Lloyd. He is absolutely tearing it up. The CHS air attack will be unbelievable this year
September 17th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
He is tearing it up against weak teams. We’ll find out when concord actually plays someone if he is still tearing it up.
September 17th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
I don’t know about you guys but I feel a upset against SRV. Oakland High will get then no doubt! Lets go Wildcats!
September 17th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Is Lloyd really a Junior? I had no idea. I only knew of the Pitt QB Mozee who is a junior and is playing well for his age against excellent teams in burbank and granite bay. anybody else wondering how the sacramento teams are getting all the hype? we have to show we’re just as good.
but by the way, SRV plays way better against passing teams, and if the minutemen pass it will be a big mistake, because those db’s go up against the mannions, nottinghams, and others and typically are much better against the pass.
I would give any legit team with a RB to upset the Wolves, but I think they may be a better defensive team than we have seen in a few years.
ManDown, I would love to see a great game with the Oakland Wildcats, but I don’t know much about their offense. QB Cobbs is a great leader, but how does he fare in road games against teams as good as his? Do they have a good running game? WR Horton is commited to Wash St. and is going to be one of the better WR SRV faces. the Concord WR Buford isn’t C.J. Porter, so I think by facing Horton first, the defense will make adjusments to any passing threats Concord might pose.
September 17th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
I got Oakland High to beat the once mighty SRV. Too much speed at every skill position. SRV isnt as good as they think they are. Town Bizz
September 17th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
How bout them Encinal Jets? another great season ahead with that game against Serra. I hope they do what we know they can do- compete with the big boys and show everyone who’s champs
September 17th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
925
thats right gonna be a war tomr night.
September 17th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Well I think its one thing to go against good passing teams but its another thing to go against good passing teams with great athletes. Ohigh don’t just have Horton… Trust me with that. SRV will have there hands full with that offence. And with the addition of Douglas the run game is that much better. Don’t sleep on Oakland High folks.
September 18th, 2009 at 12:05 am
I witness Oakland demolish Thurgood Marshall, and it wasnt that Marshall wasnt strong. The speed and power of that Douglas kid ran through the team and he hits like a hurricane. It will be a good game fri at SRV.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:07 am
Logan is young this year, but we still going to make some noise..Logan is ranked cuz they saw that night that we gave that game away to MV and that we have hard preseason games against tuff teams besides fremont high…but that was a weak zero game..my freakn nephew dropped a touchdown pass that would have put the game away for us..but we didnt.. but oakland high against SRV..lol..lol.come on now lets keep it real you know SRV is going to win that game…and someone talked about speed. trust me they have speed out there..i know oakland has speed but can they realy match up with SRV offense…but good luck anyways…i am not hating on oakland high..But they didnt even make it to the championship game they had at laney last year…lol..didnt castlemont beat them or was it fremont high that beat them…but good luck anyways
September 18th, 2009 at 8:24 am
Does anybody know what happened with Castlemont against Eureka last week? I was looking for an OAL win in that one, but they got smacked. Is Castlemont having similar eligibility issues as Fremont?
As for O-High against SRV, I am hoping for that upset, but I still think San Ramon will be too tough for Oakland. The Thurgood Marshall win is pretty meaningless as they are 1-26 in the pretty weak SF league over the past 5 years. It is hard to find a historically less successful program. It is tough to play a really good team after playing a weaker unit, but here is to O-High pulling that upset!
September 18th, 2009 at 11:31 am
Logan lost to Kennedy of Fremont last season right? Kennedy wasn’t so raw either. Supposingly Logan is much improved right? I know for a fact O – High is much improved. O – High 32, SRV 21.
September 18th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
big green the streak should come to an end 2nite so u can loosen that belt n let the nasty belly of yours breathe! but if u guys can’t beat the 1 of the worst programs around just quit! BIG nite for the oal they need prove it on the field!
September 18th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Perkin you are mistaken. Logan never lost to kennedy
September 18th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
LOL!
September 18th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
logan did not lose to kennedy last year
September 18th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Washington 27, College Park 13 (F)
so the Huskies bounce back and CP loses its first game against an NCS D-1 opponent. The Falcons have Antioch next week on the road, and then again on the road at Freedom. Those are both winnable games for CP but this has to hurt their NCS chances.
Another D1 team in trouble is Cal High. The grizzlies if they lose tonite against West and SRV upsets them after that, have no chance at NCS. If Logan beats Washington, the Grizzlies fall behind both teams.
Teams this helps the most are Logan right now. The MVAL is in good position to get 2-3 teams in the playoffs but Washington and Logan looking the strongest. Also Deer Valley plays Logan next week, big game there, and the Wolverines are in good position.
Top NCS D-1 teams in no order gotta be: DLS, Pitt, Monte Vista, Foothill, Berkeley, Deer Valley, Logan, Washington, Amador Valley.
after MV/foothill, MV/pitt, pitt/berkeley, foothill/logan, washington/logan, dls/mv, dls/foothill
dv/pitt, dv/logan
there will be a definite order. lot of positioning for seeding sure to come
Granada, Newark, Cal High, SRV, Heritage, College Park?(have to win their league to get in automatically but some good D-2 teams in the dval. no way they go undefeated against concord and clayton valley and ygnacio valley in my opinion. that league is anybodys guess each week and just look at last season everybody was capable of knocking off each other)
all those 5 are capable of getting some run together for the playoffs, but not sure who will make the cut.
is heritage ready for D-1 opponents in Monte Vista, a good DV team, great Pitt team? not sure about them
how will granada, newark, cal, srv fare in their own leagues? gotta finish high enough to make it..
out of 12 spots available, i’d say the ebal gets 4-5, bval 2-3, mval 2-3, berkeley (accal champs) san leandro(haal champs)
lets talk about who’s looking good so far. i think i covered the contenders, but its wide open..
September 18th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
after tonite gonna be some definite debates on who’s better
September 18th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
CHILD PLEASE, don’t make predictions that are WRONG. some of you aren’t as good as you think you are at calling scores LOL

September 18th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
How about that alleged Irvington fiasco…
Principal Pete Murchison is forcing the freshman football team to play with only about a dozen players. Earlier in the year, Irvington Athletic Director, Jeff Fern forgot to check the academic eligibility of the players and IHS found themselves loosing over half of the schools football players. Make that one more of Fern’s mistakes this year. Jess also hired a local youth football coach because the coach offered to pay the schools back football debt.
All these problems fall on the shoulders of Pete Murchison. You can never find Pete when there is work to be done. In this case, Pete Murchison let the athletes, the school and the community down. Pete is tenured, so there is no legal way to get rid of him. Irvington has some light at the end of the tunnel. Next year, Jeff Fern will be gone and maybe Irvington can find someone looking for more than a paycheck.
September 18th, 2009 at 8:21 pm

sounds like chaos? i thought the mval was a good top-heavy league with washington-logan-newark. the rest doesnt sound to good. american is horrible, msj should get rid of football, kennedy is out of place, why are they playing in a all d3 league with 20-30 players?
September 18th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
but irvington’s old coach bob spain took the dougherty valley job and they have been nowhere where they used to be.. the vikings used to compete now they just try to win a game or two in league
September 18th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
the haal mval should play more games. arroyo irvington was good, arroyo newark, but tennyson and hayward should play newark

Well no excuses. We lost to a damm good football team. Too many mistakes Too many Mental lapses. Can’t do it against a team like Serra. Well heaven help Alameda next week. Jet Pride.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
nothing though for encinal to hang their head about. it was a step up for them in terms of competition and the more teams like that they play the better they will get. Did the Encinal frosh and jv play against serra as well?
September 19th, 2009 at 12:01 am
jv did i think they lost wat i heard

mike..how can you put campo ahead of el cerrito after the gauchos beat them tonight?
September 19th, 2009 at 12:36 am
Our boys played tough tonight but that darn Piedmont quarterback was too much – kid is unreal, big, fast, rocket arm and zips it deep and short.
Congrats go out to Piedmont, we thought we would take the win back home with us, but couldn’t stop your team when needed.
Tough loss for our boys at DV but we will bounce back.
September 19th, 2009 at 1:35 am
killer D you have the dumbest opinion in the world. your rankings make no sense at all. berkley has played no bodyy and they beat a freedom team that can’t get out of it own way. dls is still #1 they lost to a nationally ranked team that would anihlate every team in the east bay.
September 19th, 2009 at 2:45 am
Encinal will win NCS again they have a damn good football team in the bayarea tropics and it is amazing how that program swung around Congradulations to the Coaches,Players,Parents and proud fans of Encinal and great football game tough loss but the Encinal Jets are Foreal….Lookout East bay the Jets are a power!!!!!
September 19th, 2009 at 2:54 am
not payin attention to the final scores not back on here later
September 19th, 2009 at 7:26 am
My Jets will be hard at work all this week and i believe will make a positive statement in the Big game with Alameda this week, Jet Pride!
September 19th, 2009 at 7:45 am
More on the alleged Irvington fiasco…
Irvington beat Arroyo last week, but they did it with 6 ineligible players. Pete Murchison forced school personnel to change the June 2009 grades of 6 starting footall players in September 2009, it’s a matter of record. If you check the records, the athletes failed the spring quarter grading period as year. The players were put on the fall academic ineligible list and a week later they had their grades changed. If someone checks the grading records, they will verify this issue. Irvington is playing Clayton Valley tonight using the ineligible players. Irvington football is a disgrace this year, Murchison, Fern and Kester are cheating in order to preserve their own legacy. Shame on you Irvington.
September 19th, 2009 at 8:04 am
Instead of being at the Oakland High game I went to the Encinal vs. Serra game. I tell you what Encinal has a hellava team! I saw them go head to head with a power house team and not back down. They should have won that game but mistakes killed them. I thought they were going to pull it off but came up a little short. I was the number one guy on here saying that the Jets will get blown out but I was wrong. Encinal is the real deal and they have a hellava team. WOW! Number 34 was all over the field he is a monster and I like Mr. Duckett. I see why Washington State jumped on him. I am not one for morale victorys but that game was nothing to hang your head about that team only lost to De La Salle by 7.
September 19th, 2009 at 8:06 am
Oakland High got crushed! My boys told me we were off our game and that SRV out played us. I was wrong again. But its okay. O-High will be back next week!
September 19th, 2009 at 8:58 am
CASTLEMONT LOST 51-30 IT WAS 39-30 IN THE FOURTH BUT THE KNIGHTS RAN OUT OF GAS.AFTER COMING BACK FROM A 32-6 HALFTIME.
DON’T COUNT US OUT WE ARE GROWING UP !!!
CASTLEMONT PRIDE !!!
September 19th, 2009 at 9:08 am
YEA WEEK 1 & 2 WAS HARD WE HAVE PLAYED SOME REAL GOOD TEAMS. I AM REPLACING 9 STARTS ON DEF AND IT SHOWS. GOING UP AGAINST THESE WING-T AND OPTION TEAMS. BUT I NO WE ARE GETTING BETTER EACH WEEK BECAUSE WE ARE WEEDING OUT THE CANCERS ON THE TEAM AND BECOMING A FAMILY.
I COULD HAVE PLAYED CUP CAKE TEAMS BUT IT WOULDN’T TELL ME ANYTHING !!
CASTLEMONT PRIDE !!
September 19th, 2009 at 9:54 am
I’m sorry I can’t believe that it was 7-7 at halftime Encinal vs. Serra. Thats crazy how good that jet team is.
September 19th, 2009 at 11:02 am
Serra is having a down year =(
September 19th, 2009 at 11:12 am
well do have to remember serra’s all world rb/return man wasn’t playing in that 1st half…evident by the first time he touched the ball he took the kickoff back for 6. think about how encinal would look without there QB. encinal must be similiar to that of college park as the scores were similiar especially with serras RB out.
but no doubt encinal is a solid team
September 19th, 2009 at 11:14 am
encinal has to be the favorites for d3 though for sure
September 19th, 2009 at 11:33 am
Word is that encinals leading tackler from last yar, and projected starting running back wasn’t in cuz of injury and their star olb, so you can say it was even play.
September 19th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
nah I wouldn’t say that.
September 19th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Possible Rankings after Saturday Night’s Final Games:
1. Berkeley – Jackets are stinging other teams, Deer Valley and Zo’s team the most talented across the board in the bay area, north, south, east/west. Speed and Defense abound.
2.Deer Valley – Faster than a speeding bullet and busting through every defense before them.
3.Monte Vista – Pitt’s is down this year and not getting solid QB play, this game was only close for one half, then Mustangs torched the Pirates.
4.De La Salle – Florida team will be a good test for the Spartans and they have two weeks to prep for them.
5.Foothill – ?? Hmmmm…???? Hmmmmmmmm…??? Hmmmmmm???
6.Heritage – No-huddle offense is driving opponents into the ground with tongues dragging.
7.Amador – Win vs. awful Mt. Eden should have been what it was, a smashing.
8.Concord – Torching of skyline expected, giving up only 6 points, unexpected team defensive speed good sign.
9. Encinal – respectable showing vs. Serra but too many critical erros to overcome the Padres. Jets are for real and everybody knows it this year. If Miramonte loses in WA tonight, Jets stay at 9th
10.Miramonte – Mats need to win up North to stay in Top Ten
11.Washington – Win impressively vs. College Park, puts Huskies in driver’s seat for a League Title stretch run vs. Newark and Logan. Huskies offense better than Newark’s and Logan’s combined. MVAL is theirs to lose
12. San Ramon Valley – Wolves beat an Oakland high team that has several outstanding Division I athletes on the field – San Ramon keeps winning
13. Alhambra – Bulldogs had a bad game vs. College Park but impressive two wins, Nobody is talking about the Dogs now, and that is just the way Coach Silviera likes it.
14. Bishop O’Dowd – Dragons misfired going for the TD win vs. Alameda, so the Tie hurt them, but O’Dowd is strong up front on both sides
15. El Cerrito – Gauchos got slapped around by Encinal, a Top Ten team, then they bounce back hard and STUN everybody by beating Campolindo – a great victory
September 19th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
yea i believe ur talking about Abraham Amiri #28 when he recovers from his injury he will be out their hitting
September 19th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
We lost injuries are not an excuse. Every team has injuries. But our Defensive player of the year 2008 Abraham Amiri has not played yet. He also would have started at RB. But heh we discovered Jon Trodder. Our Starting TE has not played yet Dante Parodi. WE will get better as the year goes & our depth will improve when we get these guys back on the field. We aren’t geling like we need to yet. Dropped passes ect.. missed assignments. By week 5 or 6 we will be where we need to be. But we are definitely ready to play in the Big Game.
September 19th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Coach JB is doin a hell of a job. I for one am glad he’s playing tougher teams preseason to be set for OAL. that’s a good philosophy you got Coach and keep it goin all season! 08 silver bowl champs & GO KNIGHTS!!
September 19th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
1/2. castlemont/tech
3/4. oakland/mack
5/6. fremont/skyline
sadly fremont is falling apart. they need to pick themselves up before league. skyline is still a long ways away to be going against tough teams. they should get wins first and then build experience. mack is doing that, and seems to be working. the warriors are coming back.. O-high has the best schedule to fit the team, but only 22 players against SRV? maybe I’d schedule a lower division team but that was a good game.. Tech looks strong but those wins don’t tell us much, are they going to be as competitive in oal? and finally castlemont, fightin in every game, the defending champs, growing stronger each week. I for one don’t think they’ll tie concord again with this team, they’ll upset them if they keep progressing!
go OAL good luck to every team this season! best traditional section around
September 19th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Coach tenorio, do you think this years team. Can accomplish, what last years team did?
September 19th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Coach tenorio, do you think this years team. Can accomplish, what last years team did? And yess steve I acually will say that . abraham amerie, to me from only watching 4 games of the jets last year is one of the best all around defensive players in the area. So yess, please talk to me when you know what I am talking about.
September 19th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
And killer d, your rankings don’t mean shit, your a b high guy, LOL.
September 19th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
#109 Thats not possible any more we lost a game. But if your talking about winning a championship HELL YA! Where ever we’re at right now please believe me we will be better in week 5-6. We’re still looking pretty solid right now. Eh man, talk is cheap. We do our talking one week at a time right now its about winning the Big Game. Period. I’m not happy right now. We should have played way better last night. These mistakes & first time Varsity jitters will be fixed.
September 19th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
yeah have to agree…no doubt where you watch football with all those bay shore teams in top 15…i mean o dowd tied alameda who lost to newark…cp beat alhambra badly yet still have them in there…so cp loses to alhambra and that is ok, but logan loses to foothill and monte vista and no respect…heck san leandro, granada, cp should be ahead of all those bottom 3 teams…your top rankings are good except berkeley…until they win a meaningful game can’t put them #1…and i think heritage a little high considering fairly unimpressive vs a kennedy team that lost to dougherty valley the weak before. a #6 team doesn’t put that kind of showing vs a d3 team that is average.
September 19th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
the truth
i think killer d is trying to give us his thoughts base on the play of teams for this week.and not projecting what will happen wk 4,5,6,etc. do your thing

More alleged Irvington fiasco…
The Irvington football player taken away in an ambulance last night from the game with Clayton Valley will recover. This is an example why there is a 10 practise day requirement before being allowed to suit up for a game. The boy hurt last night joined the team on Monday of this week and did not have a single day with pads on. Murchison allows example of cheating after example of cheating to occur. Here the boy was placed in serious medical risk position by Pete Murchison just so Irvington can win games. In this case, there is evidence that of the roster history indicating the boy just joined the team, there is a hospital record that the boy was brought to the emergency ward last night by an ambulance and a entire team of players and parents who witnessed this happen. Murchison should be fired for incompetence. Where is the NCS?
September 20th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Get it straight did your son not get a starting position on the Irvington squad? why so much hate… it’s just high school football. Let it go, make sure you son gets into better shape in the off season than he might get off the bench. =p
September 20th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Steve,
My son plays basketball, not football. Enough of the sissy comments please. Just cause you are a girly man, doesn’t mean kids should getr hurt.
September 20th, 2009 at 11:31 am
We were big dogs against Acalanes and beat them up all day long in our new stadium.
The BSAL is not between Encinal, Piedmont and St. Patrick,.
Has anybody seen that new Piedmont qb? Is he that good?
We are going to bury piedmont in our league opener.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Get It Straight, if you’re right about Irvington, they should be investigated and have to forfeit the win against Arroyo. On another note, The Farmers are a team to be reckoned with in the HAAL. If the coach and the team stay healthy they should win the HAAl. Tennyson can cause some havoc as well.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Back in the summer I warned of the disastrous actual financial plight facing the Mt. Diablo School District Sports funding – even though it was headline news that MDUSD had cut all sports funding.
Sitting at a record of 3 – 0 in football, Mt. Diablo High has been told all games will be terminated unless they come up with at least $9,000 dollars no later than October 1st.
Similar funding issues are rampant at the other 5 high schools in MDUSD.
I had also warned of some West Contra Costa schools who somehow avoided losing all funding for 2009, and the MDUSD becoming like the Bronx of New York over the next decade if things are not fixed in the next couple of years.
It is almost past the terminal point of no return.
Help MDUSD!
September 20th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Doughtery valley like I been saying, this whole time is one of the most overated teams in the area, the best win in two years was againest a kennedy team from fremont??, which is a horiible team, and “DV” was expected to beat piedmont? Piedmont has atheltes, and should be 2ncd or 3rd in the bsal, all dv plays is teams like american mission san jose, or richmond, and maruo hayward? Come on? Dv will get crushed by a el cerrito team real bad!, or a hayward team, or even a alameda team, be real dv can “only” play with cupcakes” play some men!/ the coach, aint tryna see no, cal high or srv,? That just shows me he has no faith, so please get the hell outta hear with “omg I can’t belive dv lost? Hahaha.. And kenndy should of beat ya tooo lol loook wat ferndale did,.. Theirs for sure not arguing these facts.
September 20th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Groundskeeper is right!
Irvington should be investigated. My daughter’s boyfriend plays for Irvington football and I could care less about who plays and who doesn’t play. I went to Irvington 20+ years ago and I hate to see this going on at my alma mater.
Groundskeeper is right!
These facts are easy to verify and the most serious is the boy being hurt last night. Check the hospital, check the roster history, check the grades and then take action against those who violated our trust.
September 20th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
What’s goin’ on with Mt. Eden? Did they get another whippin?
September 20th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Jets Fans- why is the Encinal head coach on these blogs? I haven’t seen any other coaches on blogs talking about games, results and predications?
Is he the Lane Kiffin of Bay Area high school football? Serra took Encinal apart, not as close as it sounds- Serra had some players benched because of disinplinary action. Encinal will loose again before the season ends.
September 20th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Mt. Diablo district questions? Are parents of players contributing any money to their sons’ teams? Are they having any fund raisers? Are the players having fund raisers? Are students and faNS HAVING FUND RAISERS OR SEARCHING FOR CORPORATE/NEIGHBOORHOOD SPONSORS? Are teachers encouraging and particpating in raising money?
Where’s the alumni?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then they are in a tough spot.
If the answer is no, then they need to get off their lazy rear ends, pull up their boot straps, get off the couch, quit making excuses and raise some money. Other public school programs can do it, why not you?
How about washin’ cars?
September 20th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Yo Mama, Coach Joe has not been the only coach on the blogs and he just anwsered some questions. And believe it or not,We had a fair chance to win. No excuses were made. We lost to a good football team but if we played our A game and had all our guys back,I KNOW the game would’ve ended quite different. So what are you talking about? Jet pride!
September 20th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Don Bosco Prep,according to a friend in n.j. was missing their starting guards against dls and if they had played may have won by more?? Who are those guys??
September 20th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
the truth. so who is your team coach truth? are they playing CAL high and SRV? who should DV. play? it’s the schools third year in existence, first year with a senior class. I looked at their schedule and they don’t play any of those teams you listed. So Piedmont is not a good team? but you said they have athletes, and you think they should be second or third in their league. and DV. lost by 6 points. coach truth have you ever seen Ferndale play? you really don’t seemed very informed. maybe you should check your facts out a little better.
September 20th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Yo Mama… I see nothing wrong with Coach Tenorio commenting on this blog. People had questions and he answered them straight up. There’s obviously a huge amount of interest in high school football here in the East Bay, evident by the thousands of comments on Prep Corner, so where better to go for information than the head coach? The press can only cover so much. By the way, other coaches have participated on this blog such as Berkeley’s Carter, Castlemont’s Coach, Alameda’s OC and a few others. I commend them all for that.
September 20th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
Hey Eculb, I didn’t mean to sound like that, but thats what he said about me. So I just gave it back to him the way he said it.
September 20th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Old former meddling coach- Encinal coach has not shown any class in the past- I remember in ’06 when his team took a hard loss at St. Pat’s, no handshake at the end and lots of trash talk player attitude. Would not meet the other coach after the game. The Jets lost 37-20, waS REALLY 37-13 until the end. No respectable coach goes on blogs with parents, fans and other players about his team. He is bush-league. Are you the former coach, if so, you didn’t teach him right.
Name another coach on blogs who is a winner?
September 20th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Well, well. St. Pats guy huh? For the record that game a player from St. Pats spit in one of my players face & we were flagged for reacting. They trash talked & played dirty. You Catholic school parents are all the same. Babies. whined last year after we spanked by 40 on both levels. And for the record I did shake Blantons hand after the game & challenged him to a rematch. He was not trying to see me. We can’t wait for this year. It will be payback time again. We can’t wait to get to Vallejo.
September 20th, 2009 at 8:05 pm
St. Pats your falling like a brick. You lost all your good players last year. Where ever Encinal is they will handle you. Every player in your program only knows how to lose to Encinal if they lost both games last year.
September 20th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Coach Carter,Had to set a couple of people straight and of course of Our friend, Big Green. So as far as Coaches,there have been more than a few posting as well as Former Coaches. As far as St Pats,It was all good when they beat us but when we whooped em’ Last year,All i heard was moaning and crying. Come on Now. I am a Former Coach,Not his former Coach. Jet Pride!
September 20th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
That they did Roeper, And with God as my witness,All i heard in the parking lot was it was not fair,They had more kids,(only had 22-25) Etc, From the St.Pats folks But it was all good in 06′. Plenty Of Coaches pop on here to get a good laugh or make sure that the story is told right. Jet Pride!
September 20th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
I guess my point is well taken. Can you believe the Encinal coach is on the blog and reacts to a blog comment? I was at that game and they did not play dirty- your team was manhandled. Now time to man-up- coaches do not react and talk trash on high school blogs-they also don’t make predications on future foes.
They also don’t insult race and religion. My affilation is with DeLaSalle and you just got sucker punched. Now get off the blog and prepare to teach class tommorrow- do you teach? Your counterparts do.
September 20th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Get it straight no one cares, let it go. Go play basketball with your son and get off the web. =p
September 20th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
OK sucker punched ok great.
De la Salle.. Uh huh.
September 20th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Haha! I just read what Yo Mama just said and it sounds crazy. There have been plenty of coaches on these blogs. I don’t know what you have been reading but many of coaches have been on here. Yo Mama sounds like you have a thing for Coach Tenorio?

LOL this guy is a Baby Mama. why do you care so much about what happened 3 years ago? nobody’s bringing up the past except you homeboy. I guess if you do love de la salle you are probably living in the past LOL. I would be after humiliating losses and falls from greatness. but this season prove it on the field. and stop hatin on coach, he’s done so many great things for the community that you are leaving out. dont forget how he’s helped send players to colleges and mentored so many on and off the field.
one more thing i’d like to add.. if i were an a spsv guy, i’d be kinda ticked that we are no longer the bosses of the league but as a neutral party why not celebrate the fact that spsv finally gets some good competition and the essence of good sportsmanship? encinal is a great program, they were underdogs last year and now they are establishing themselves as a quality program. thats why you play the game. now good luck to everybody come gametime so all this can be settled.

Hey there is nothing wrong with talking on blogs as a coach or former coach. It should all be in good fun anyway, but some people take it way over board and start to speak on coaches when they don’t even know them. But we have some people who get on here and really start to get ignorant when it is not called for, just like saying if a coach blogs he is not respectable. What is that about? We just having fun, it’s not that big a deal. And really Coach Tenorio, who I have alot of respect for, should not have to answer to anyone here. He has been on top and knows what it takes to win, bottom line! Just like some of the other coaches who blog from time to time, they know what it takes. And anyway this is about the kids.

Steve,
You need to worry more about keeping my junk from bouncing off your chin. The only benefit from you get from having a little man’s complex is you don’t need to kneel down while taking care of me. Better luck next time “tiny”.
September 21st, 2009 at 7:59 am
Folks ought to think before they post. Let’s try to keep it to a modestly respectful level out here.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:40 am
Please gentlmen, may we all keep the peace on this blog, and not insult others?
It is best for all………..
September 21st, 2009 at 10:21 am
wats up with the oal? alota talkin in da summer now ALL I HEAR R CRICKETS! big game 4 b-high they win this week they’ll get a bye in ncs plus they should run the table in da accal. if they lose at home 2 pitt don’t expect much from them come playoff time.
September 21st, 2009 at 10:29 am
any predictions this week kemp? you guys r the bigger school please tell me u guys can beat a d-3 school? if u can’t wat makes think u could beat pinole, berkeley or compete in d-2 playoffs?
September 21st, 2009 at 10:38 am
ill take a crack at the top 15 before hand…
#1 DLS – this could be the year they go down, but until they do they are still the team to beat in the east bay.
#2 MV – a great bounce back game against pitt, even if they played without star RB. offense looked good.
#3 foothill- tough to keep them below MV since played logan tougher, but until foothill knocks them out of top ebal spot (minus DLS) got to keep them just below.
#4 Deer valley – another impressive win and play logan this week who MV and Foothill already has, so good gauge.
#5 encinal – played serra tough and is playing some tougher teams this year, have to reward them for that.
#6 berkeley – could be higher? but until they play a solid opponent can’t over rate them.
#7 amador valley – haven’t really played anyone to great, so will have to wait to see in EBAL if this too high or too low. the freedom win doesn’t look all that great anymore.
#8 SRV – see Amador..big test this week. win and slide ahead of amador, lose and drop to the bottom 12-15.
#9 washington – back on track against a solid college park team. tough schedule so far and another tough one vs tracy high. if they go 3-1 with that openinging schedule may have to slide up until the above teams play some better competition.
#10 concord – win and move up, lose and move down…judgement week vs srv to show true strength.
#11 clayton valley – again haven’t played anyone so can’t give them a free pass into top 10 yet. could be worthy though, we will see.
#12 cal – big win to get back on track and seemed to dominate tracy west more than srv did. so could be switching spots with them shortly in the first game of ebal play.
#13 heritage – big test this week, but really unimpressive vs kennedy a d3 school.
#14 logan – after this week…a forfeit and 3 games vs. my top 4 already…a brutal schedule. foothill got them pretty good after missing on the knockout punch vs. monte vista. guessing will lose this week, so keeping them in top 15 at 1-3 (only win forfeit) is tough but well deserved with the schedule they have played. got to reward good teams from lesser leagues for not scheduling more cupcakes in non leagues as many of those teams do.
#15 miramonte – lost to WA..but because we dont know all that much about them tough to gauge. El cerrito might have some beef for this spot as well or san leandro as they have played a tough schedule too.
remember guys this is anyones guess and all in good fun…try to keep from calling out specific people…makes it too personal…coaches and players aren’t paid well for this lets give them a break.
September 21st, 2009 at 10:51 am
@Guru-black: Encinal is a quality program with some great players who work hard. They are not your run-of-the-mill D3 school and everyone on here knows that. We will work hard to prepare and give our best effort. The Island Bowl has a lot of tradition behind that and we respect that and will do our best to honor that. As far as predictions, that is not my game. That’s for unaffiliated folks on the blog to have fun with.
Take care and here’s to some great prep football through the rest of the season!
September 21st, 2009 at 11:16 am
kemp then how do u expect to achieve ur goal & win league? cuz if u can’t beat encinal how u gonna beat us at berkeley?
September 21st, 2009 at 11:26 am
Every week is a new week. Playing Encinal and playing Berkeley really have nothing to do with each other, aside from just going hard. If you’re with Berkeley good luck this week against Pittsburgh. That should be a solid battle.
September 21st, 2009 at 11:30 am
show ur telling me ur goal is not to win league? we all know to accomplish that the road leads thru b-high?
September 21st, 2009 at 11:50 am
wats up wit o’dowd? they havent played the tough opponents their not missing players, is it the coaching? peronon is gonna ride brown til the wheels fall off!
September 21st, 2009 at 11:54 am
Since we’re bringing up the past St. Pats. In 2006 when Duckett was a Freshmen the JV team beat St. Pats JV team by 45. So every player there really knows how to lose to Encinal. In 2005 when Blanton was talking bad about the ACCAL & 2A football he challenged us to a game. We beat them 41-0 on Varsity at the Nail. JVs I was the Head Coach Jon Brown & Dominique were both out with injury we still beat St. Pats 12-0.
September 21st, 2009 at 11:59 am
Alameda must be pretty good this year. They didnt let BOD beat them. Looks like they are running the ball pretty well. That Cunningham kid is awesome. This week should be telling
September 21st, 2009 at 12:09 pm
yeah they were real excited bout that tie! will c wat cunningham does these next 3 weeks if he does well props 2 him but i gotta c it! either way kemp will pade his stats when they play de anza richmond & hercules just like he tried with he’s brother. my nephew cameron brown would run the ball the whole drive then the ball is on the 2 he’d put in the back up q.b in put he’s brother at rb give him the ball so he could score.
September 21st, 2009 at 12:46 pm
How solid is Encinal compared to the rest of their league?
Who in that league can actuall beat Encinal if St. Patricks cannot do it?
Nobody?
September 21st, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Come on Guru. It’s funny when people have creative imaginations and memories. Camaron Brown led the team that year with 12 rushing TDs. Wes Moyer was second on the team with 7. They were both damn good players and continue playing to this day.
Brother, at least if you are going to try to talk smack, at least be accurate with your facts! As we all know, you are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.
Good luck this week against Pitt bro! You won’t see me trying to douse you or your organization with haterade, please consider returning the respect.
Peace…
September 21st, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Finally, before I give these boards a rest for this week, the statement that Wes was a “back up QB” is disingenuous at best. Anyone with any knowledge of the reality knows he was an every down player and impact player. He played QB, TB, FB, LB, LS, etc. and played with heart. He was first-team All-ACCAL Utility and that doesn’t just go to anyone, he woulda been first team QB in his first year ever playing QB (our projected starter went down with a torn hamstring the week before our scrimmage), but a special kid named Jonathan Brown rightfully took that home that year, Coach Tenorio can back me on that, as he was there during the vote. Please don’t put down hard working kids who love the game and play with passion, that just makes you look bad and it is not needed.
Take care and I’ll talk to folks with basic level of respect next week. Good luck this week to all hard working folks who respect the game and understand the work the kids and coaches put in with little thanks.
September 21st, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Wes Moyer was cool. I’ll give you that. He’s at Yale now learning how to make that money cant be mad at that. I hear next year he will be starting at Yale and that they are excited about him right now.
Dont wear them boys out against Encinal that doesnt mean anything to you guys. You have got to beat Berkeley. Be smart.
September 21st, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Three weeks into the season, it is surprising how little we have learned about the top teams in the area.
DeLaSalle appears vulnerable to an extent not seen in many years.
Pitt also looks to be having a down year.
Cal High is nowhere near the ‘dominant’ team that many posters were asserting over the summer. And where are those people now?
The entire HAAL is apparently down this year.
So we have some idea of teams that are not doing as well as hoped, but not much indication of who is going to rise above the rest and take control.
Encinal showed well against Serra, but certainly far from dominant.
Washington came out strong, then did not show well against Deer Valley.
Pitt has two losses.
Logan has a tough preseason schedule, but two losses to show for it so far.
Berkeley is getting a ton of hype, but has not played a strong opponent yet.
Amador Valley and San Ramon Valley have not gotten any hype, but have dominated their mediocre preseason opponents.
Monte Vista and Foothill are unbeaten, but have shown signs of weakness.
Some questions will get answered this weekend, but could it be that we are seeing more parody in Alameda/Contra Costa high school football?
September 21st, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Yes watch out for that RB from Alameda High. I hear he is a good fast one. I don’t know much about the kid but I hear he runs good and his stats so far are backing it up. I don’t know if Encinal will let that kid run wild like Smith did against them.
I don’t know whats up with the OAL so far. We have been playing really bad this preseason but at the same time there has been alot going on in the OAL off the field too. For Oakland High we just stunk it up out in San Ramon. No excuses.
September 21st, 2009 at 2:04 pm
It’s okay ManDown only the OAL fans thought they had a chance against SRV but everyone else knew other wise. =(
September 21st, 2009 at 2:55 pm
the team miramonte played was very good. had excellent depth at every position. lots of size speed and especially football smarts. the refs took away one of miramonte’s touchdowns in the first quarter when king went up for a ball in the endzone. people are saying it was a horrible call and was definitely a catch. there is a lot to be said about how well miramonte played that team. it seems that they should have won. lots of talent and athletiscm on glacier peak as well. only 4 point loss with that early touchdown score would have been at least tied
September 21st, 2009 at 3:13 pm
kemp i said u put the back up q.b in and put ur brother at fullback and gave him the ball. yes cam had 12 should have more but u had to give u bro the ball. good luck winning anything significant at that school!
September 21st, 2009 at 3:18 pm
kemp please don’t compare ur bro to brown not even close. cuz wen they were on the same team your brother played tight end & came along for the ride while brown played q.b lead his team 2 a championship something u guys at alameda know nothing about! plus niko was the best player on that’07 team.
September 21st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
I love kemp, are you the head coach at alameda? And you berkely guys make me sick lol for real, you guys are a 4a (divison 1) playing againsts ec and d.a, and you call your selfs good,.
September 21st, 2009 at 4:43 pm
And big green so far soo goood. For your program, and ST. Pats, lol you guys think your de la, RELAX. Your encinals female dawg ( use your imagination)
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:41 am
Yo Mama St.Pats JVs got blown out by 45 points in 2006 & your talking mess about winning on Var? you had to of know about it since you were there. Come on that var game is ancient history Encinal has become a NCS champion since then. But the JV game man. All your seniors were Freshmen then. Its looking bad this year for you.
I’m totally sure that your a De La Salle guy who rememers a D-III game from 3 yeara ago or coaches actions. What a moron you are. Your gonna get St. Pats whorided on these blogs.
September 22nd, 2009 at 5:01 am
Yo Mama so what happened in 2005? Got zeroed on both levels?

Irvington is losing their AD after this school year (thank God) and should really shop around. They must have somebody in mind or at least be thinking of somebody? Can’t do much about Pete except a slap on the wrist (unfortunately). They need to find someone who wants to be an AD and who won’t take any crap. How about that buff guy at kennedy they keep screwing him over and obviously don’t want him there. I here coaches talking about how they would coach for him when I’m at the games. I don’t know this guy but at least its a start.
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:06 pm
My point again is not Encinal’s ability, the point is the coaches should not make predications, remarks(especially negative) about opponents and leagues and show some dignity. I am sure the BSAL commisioner does not want to hear from the encinal coach on a blog, especially comments about Catholics and parents.
Again, if you teach school you don’t let yourself fall into that trap. I would not have commented again because one reader said peace, however the Encinal coach again came back with a comment about opponents and I must foward it to the BSAL commisioner if he continues to run his mouth. It’s your choice coach.
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:08 pm
I thought you were a De La Guy? You fell for it sucker. It will be pay back time in Vallejo St. Pats boy. I hope we don’t get a lead. Ain’t no mercy rule for cry babies St. Pats. Man. Its Alameda week & I’m getting fired up for Vallejo. I’ll calm down. Its like waiting to get out of jail. Nailhouse release release date is October 30th. Tune in Jets Fans.
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Blanton your a weak ass coach! I was at the St. Pats Piedmont game last year he ran a draw on his own 10 no timeouts under 1 minute in the game. Retire Blanton. Or run & hide in the BFL with Salesian from Encinal. You only won one game against Encinal then got blown out every other time on every other level. What chance do you think you have? Become a water boy for Ladoceur.
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:18 pm
The Real Coach Carter = student-athletes going to college, who cares if a team is said to be good, who’s getting scholarships, over 65 D1?
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Is it really that serious guys? Its a blog. Why would people threat to bring things up to a commisioner. It’s not that serious. Who cares what people on here think and have to say. Thats why it’s here. For people to voice there opinions and say whatever it is they want to say. Haha. You people are the hilarious.
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:40 pm
guru-black, fast and physical,and yellowjacketfan,
from the summer to today b-high has to prove they have what it takes to be some body. they do not give any of the schools they have played any respect. just the fact it is b-high brings the best out. ponderosa-good team with a great rb. freedom reworked there offense
hard week of practice showed in there play . castro valley is better than what people think and they will have a great season.if you are not part of the ebal or bval you are a nobody. b-high is working hard to play at their best.pitt has a great program and it will be a great game.we do not have to defend these jackets.
September 22nd, 2009 at 10:35 pm
Yo mama,You come on here, Start a ruckus,And talk about going to the league. You can’t prosecute for entrapment and this is all in fun anyway. Where is YOUR MIND? Stop making Threats and trying to create a problem in the first place. This is The CIF, Not The NFL. You talk about falling into traps and you TRY to set one. Just chill and stop hiding behind the Keyboard. Jet Pride.
September 22nd, 2009 at 11:19 pm
hahahahahahahhah! I am going to tell the principal! (Bsal commish) Lmao hahahahahahahahahh!!! You private school loser, welcome to the real world. Ahahahahahahhahahahahahh GET out of here if you can’t argue with the heavy weights.. Acting like a lil kid.. I HOPE. Encinal BLOWS you guys out. Every year. You bruin parents always wanna complain, encinal. Please keep the pedal to the medal. Not like last year where u guys coulda easily one 57 to 6.. Keep the big boys in
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:06 am
Yo mamma,
You a big dummy. Your telling the commisioner what you square bear? Cry and complain about the Jets whats the big deal? You act as if you never lost before. Suck it up dude. Do your research dont you know the Jets beat St. Pats back in the day for a championship (80′s). This is an old rivalry game. I know you never thought you would have any rivals but I think the Jets just made you one on their list. What if the Jets made it an away homecoming game? Now that will spark some cheer…
And you aint running the Veer right my friend. Bruins your going down.
September 23rd, 2009 at 11:00 am
Yikes!
Never seen a head coach of a championship program talk trash on public blogs before. What gives with the Encinal coach jabbering like a total ———– for everybody to read?
Either it really is the actual Encinal Coach saying those things or somebody else?
Hopefully it is not the actual head coach for Encinal doing so much trash talking on here?
That would be shameful for him and his program.
September 23rd, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Private school loser above me, what makes you think a coach can’t talk on the blogs? You just hella mad cause encinal owns the league and ya don’t wanna get embrassed lol get F*** outta here, loser. Ur a private school loser. Encinal runs the true VEEr..
September 28th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
First of all, I have no students at St. Patrick’s-so I am not a parent. Don’t know coach Ten and don’t have any problems with Encinal- very good team. Have an opinion on a coach, especially one who comes off an undefeated season shooting his mouth on high school blogs. I am sure he is a very good coach, but he’s not proving it by trash talking. How long have you been a varsity coach and where, other than a few years at Encinal. An apology for making those anti-Catholic remarks will do, and by the way, the BSAL comm is a teacher at SPSV. Are you a teacher at Encinal?
The Encinal principle can’t be happy with a coach making those kind of statements. Instead of everyone talking trash for him, if it is really the coach, let the coach be a man and stick to football, not race and religion. If anyone started insulting the coach’s background, race and religion, it wouldn’t be OK, right? Then how does he have any right to do so? It’s a two way street, let’s keep it like that.
September 28th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Yo mama, The Issue died. Lets let it stay dead please. Jet Pride!
September 28th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
#191 Are you serious Mama? Your name is the worst kind of sh*t talking in the world degrading people’s Moms & you want somebody to apologize to you? Get a life.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
He’s not apologizing to me, it’s the blog that needs clearing. I am willing to clear. You should stay out of it, it doesn’t concern you and my email name has nothing to do with your mama or anyone else’s. How’s that for setting it straight? Ole Former Coach says let it die, so unless you’re the coach, take his advice.
September 30th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Yo Mama,
You must have the Veri Chip. No no no… I will be tunning in. “Don’t awake a sleeping giant”. Like SPSV Fan said, “It takes more than a little talent to win a ball game”.
October 1st, 2009 at 5:05 am
Yo Mama, do us all a favor & eat sh*t & die.
October 3rd, 2009 at 10:49 am
Perkin, you’re a young foul mouthed kid, , wash out your mouth with Your Mama. Remember son, Mama Said!
