these r really as expected but teejay ner shouldve been first team running back over the arroyo back
December 1st, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Well sports fans i’d like 2 thank everyone that voted 4 my son it was a unanimous selection!!! and thank everyone that took part n THE HAAL this fine football season didnt quite turn out like i would have like but the party not over we start training mid jan.
good luck Sl STATE its been something for sure
December 1st, 2009 at 6:22 pm
Tj Ner 1st Team. Ha. Child Please!!!. Cash Flow you are hilarious. Antoine Williams should have made honrable mention if not 1st or 2nd team. Joe Latu showed tremendous imrovement and should have made 2nd team.
December 1st, 2009 at 8:11 pm
I knew fukafuka would win the dlinemen of the year award because he has a ton of talent and he is very athletic and tj ner was the most powerful and explosive back in the haal by far…if he had played for bod sl he would be first team but he didn’t he played tennyson and every player that comes out of tennyson overrated in everybodys book I kno because everybody thought I was even tho I made sensational games against all of the haal teams in my senior year at tennyson
December 1st, 2009 at 8:15 pm
joe latu is extremely great athlete that didn’t hae the pieces to win games but I think they shoulda threw a helluva lot more with his arm strength he will be a first team all haal qb next year maybe and watch out in basketball for him if he plays b/c he can jump out of the gym
December 1st, 2009 at 9:50 pm
Ashawndaus Woods was never a factor!
December 1st, 2009 at 10:09 pm
T.J. Ner is definitely a talented back. It’s really a toss up between him and McMurray. Too bad, one guy had the blocking and the other didn’t. Antione Williams should’ve definitely been somewhere on the list. I believe all players nominated make the list. So, to not be anywhere must mean he was not nominated by his coach at all. Congratulations to Coach Bowers for another HAAL title.

Communism in Football
If Communism is perceived as evil in a capitalistic society, can u truly expect a child 2 by in 2 this theory.
A classless society based on common ownership with no individuality. Where individual accolades r frowned a pond. Where Ur rewards 4 a touchdown is considered to be the same as running a gasser hard. Where effort is rewarded over talent, I say no where in the world is this concept acceptable, except high school football. It was said 2 me that the kids were being taught about life beyond football, well try and go in the work place with all ur effort and no result let’s see how fast they say we really like ur effort and ur enthusiasm but we’re going 2 have 2 let u go. A child said 2 me I don’t no y Ur son is so good he doesn’t give any effort. Well kid he happens to be physically gifted and mentally prepared so that makes it look effortless or LAZY is the word he used. When he’s kick my old ass in one on one u see all the effort u can handle because he hates 2 lose. Step ur game up young man ur effort doesn’t matter if u cant handle the job at hand. STUDY FOOTBALL
December 2nd, 2009 at 9:10 am
I think you guys have a mix up between Mateaki Hausia (Mt. Eden) and his older brother Sione (Mt. Eden). Sione was the one leading sacks and tackles. Just a heads up.
December 2nd, 2009 at 11:20 am
For Every Coaching Philosphy there is someon out there to say its the wrong philoshpy…Usually an angry parent or a kid that isnt playing for whatever reason.. With the budget cuts to The bay area it’s bound to be plenty of coaching oppurtunities out there… The commitment is huge and the reward has to come from within b/c for everyone 1 parent that comes up to u and say’s “hay thanks for putting your life and family on hold to make my child better”.. There are 9 parents rdy to rip you for what u didnt do…It’s a Thanksless job to say the least.. Ihope sum of these faceless, 2nd Guessing coaching Guru’s take my challenge and apply for sum of these upcoming openings… Jus dont have any Felonies and your good to go…lol
Hey Goat..If a fellow player said your son was lazy it was probably true.. Doesn’t sound like you are debating that.. and if that is the the case are you sayin he has a right to be lazy be cause he’s a good athlete???
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Coach
Maybe u misundrstood every person motavated by different Coach
It is quite easy to motivate the masses for the are simple of mind
Control the individuals that think.
It’s easy to control tom dick and harry there just happy 2 be breathing
No one gets kudos for that but if you get the SPECAIL-ONES motivated
That’s coaching. And if Ur having these problems year in and year out pull out a trusty
LOOKING GLASS 22REC 11TDS WOW!!!
December 2nd, 2009 at 3:02 pm
U one those moral victory guys
pom poms rah rah billy u did great u almost got him
Kiss my ass and leave my shit alone
December 2nd, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Motivation—–Big word, To motivate young ppl talented or not with all the distractions of today is no easy task…
Im a grown man and sometimes it’s hard for me to motivate myself..With Kids it’s a whole other story…Our only leverage is playing time or torcher (meaning sum form of conditioning in most cases)
(22 rec and 11 td”s)Nice numbers…but you help make my point..
what about the TEAM???that’s the problem today…
Doesent help 100 parents sitting @ 50 dinner tables telling little tom,dick and harry there nex Montana or Deion… But hey i can relate.. My son’s in pop warner and im his #1 fan..He’s the tha best in my eyes…maybe even the nex Montana…
December 2nd, 2009 at 3:30 pm
I’ve coached a few Championship Teams and The 1 thing they all had in common was the best Players were the hardest Workers and Pushed there teammates to step up there level of play in practice to compete with them or get layed down week after weeek until it got old…
Not VIce verse..
December 2nd, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Yes Yes this is true
Hey man I no calculus boy what u doing knowing calculus u better get from round here
We adding and subtracting round hear u sholl 2 get beat Massa whip u good he find out u no calculus
So the young man never got 2 should his calculus THE END
December 2nd, 2009 at 4:05 pm
GOAT if you’re a grown man, with all this knowledge and education, why can’t you spell. And your last post is not funny or entertaining. It’s HELLA stupid like the majority of your posts. You always have something negative to say. I think I hate you!
December 2nd, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Bob i mean Robert can i call u Robert
Robert ur not one of those specail one so i understand ur frustration u dont no what it feels like to have shackles on.But if u ever go inside the MATRIX and feel that adrenalene rush u crave it. Common things wont do and what becomes fantastic to other became common 2 u and u achieve greatness by challenging urself.
December 2nd, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Goat..U Lost me with #16..
But how bout answering my ?…Is your son Lazy or Misundersttod Greatness???
December 2nd, 2009 at 4:48 pm
goat i i think i know your son. lol!!!!
December 2nd, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Victor Bannerman was a great WR, Lenny Jones too, and Alvictor Bradford, San Leandro had a great all league trio I think one of the continuing facets about SL’s pass happy offense thats a good thing. SL be on the rise locally, as long as they schedule smart, play Washington next year or perhaps Logan, Granada, Amador, I think the pirates could beat those teams with their pass attack returing QB
December 2nd, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Bob u sound like a coaches girlfriend
i dont think a man would say i think”I THINK I HATE U” LOL
u a little 2 emotional hunny cute tho
as 4 spelling not my strong point
December 2nd, 2009 at 5:23 pm
McMurray is the defensive player of the year? Who the !@#$ was McMurray? We scored 41 points on Arroyo. Where was the Defensive player of the year at? His team gave up 28 points per game. Arroyo was the !@#$s how do they have the Defensive player of the year. Politics is a b!@#$!
Why is Dan Heka not on the 1st team? When our coach was busy benching the whole team instead of coaching them Heka was bulldozing defenses. This is BULL!
December 2nd, 2009 at 6:09 pm
wow…I’m pretty young and to see grown men bicker over high school sports like this is pretty dissapointing…alot of players read these things unfortunately and guys like you are part of the reason of why there are a growing amount of bad attituides on and off the field… coachthecoach is 100% correct
December 2nd, 2009 at 6:19 pm
And there you go again….GOAT your ass just doesn’t think at all PERIOD. And now, I’ll ignore you and let you play by yourself, or better yet, WITH yourself.
December 2nd, 2009 at 6:26 pm
No disrespect against Matt Balich against BOD but everyone really geared up to stop Mario Brown. He had talented recieving core and line was big gave him time. I felt like he underaccomplished with the core he had. I thought Joe Latu should have 2nd team all league because of what he meant to his team. But both were good Qbs and good luck to both of them on the next level.
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:00 pm
#24 i say again if u think im wrong u have never been in the MATRIX (where u’ve seen everything b4 everythings a dejavu. u no every move 2 make u pull the strings like a puppet master) It take a certain type of descipline to harness the beast.
BY THE WAY IM REALLY PROUD OF U BILLY GREAT EFFORT
U WILL GET HIM NEXT TIME OR MAYBE THE TIME AFTER THAT
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:11 pm
#19
A PLAYER from last year said i want 2 be lazy like that
i said me 2 he said me 3 lol
LAZy or not the job has to be done some body got 2 chop the wood
u one of those people the bring a knife 2 a gun fight
u lose
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Goat.. My Girlfriend..Wow.. Are u sure your old enoough to have a son playing high school ball???
One Thing u did make me realize is to not be so quick to blame my players for there antics.. U never know who they have at home as role models..Could be A GOAT!!!
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Better a goat then a stubbron old mule
how do u think he got good by accident
took years of train teaching not telling
coaching not hope ing
COACH GREEN said it best we let them of the hook he must have put those effort players in. The bottom line a talented player can always put effort in a effort play may not have the talent. So u keep hope ing and wish that BILLY makes the play Ill take the son of a goat anytime
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Micah McMurray, Arroyo 10 98 573 5.8 7
T.J. Ner, Tennyson 10 156 848 5.4 13
Micah McMurray was a first team selection…
T.J. Ner was a second team selection…
Florida voting ballot scandal all over again…
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Why are there 4 first team running backs in the first place?
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Ner had an inconsistent line and still racked up way better stats than McMurray & still got cheated out of a first team bid…my oh my, what has the world come to..
December 2nd, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Kyle, I don’t get that either. There are another 4 RBs on the second team. At least when the EBAL couldn’t make a decision as to whether Nottingham or Mannion should be first team and named them both, they didn’t put any QBs on the second team. There ought to be one player at each postion for first team all league. To have 8 all league running backs completely waters down the award. I think it was the DFAL 2 years ago where every team had a running back make all league? That just means you started at running back, which means you are good athlete, but coaches should save the 1st & 2nd team awards for the most deserving players at those positions and make the hard decisions.
December 3rd, 2009 at 7:37 am
I had the pleasure of being on the same field with the great Barry Sanders didnt work out got there late.
so i studied his every move and i equate his movement 2 a tommy gazelle Now some people would call me crazy
4 thinking that.
But as a small child i couldnt understand y a cheetah couldnt catch a GAZELLE and it came 2 me Barry not running its a series of hops Instead of putting pressure on ur legaments and tendons the pressure go 2 ur quads a muscles u can build not a tendon u can tear
FOOTBALL IS A SCIENCE 2 ME NOT TRIAL AND ERROR
December 3rd, 2009 at 8:59 am
Micah McMurray, Arroyo 10 98 573 5.8 7
T.J. Ner, Tennyson 10 156 848 5.4 13
Thats huge!!
Yea we need a recount. More carries, more yards and more TD’s.
GOAT you really cant spell man lol. Hope ing???..WOW MAN LMAO!!
December 3rd, 2009 at 10:37 am
Food 4 Thought
Brackets in a cover 2 dime . Slot corners are called snakes , regular corners are called crabs.
Snake plays bump with his but 2 the QB, crab plays bump facing QB. The key is 2 keep the WR inside the 2 corners. If anyone brakes contain snakes take flats crab has deep half the safety comes up and plays hook curl. Does this stop 4WR IS THis 2 HARD 4 HIGH SCHOOLERS 2 learn
December 3rd, 2009 at 10:56 am
I bet high school players will figure out how to stop 4 WR’s before you learn how to spell. And what high school team plays the Dime Defense?.
December 3rd, 2009 at 11:11 am
LOL you think spelling has something 2 do with intelligence
Foolish American English is a language set up by the noble
To oppress people that spoke Latin a much more logical language.
Am I surrounded by fools the dime was created 2 stop 4 wides
No wonder MV has such high numbers
December 3rd, 2009 at 11:24 am
No one called you stupid, you just cant spell lol. MV got a great quarterback and a very group of receivers. So your saying 4 D-Lineman, 1 LB and 6 DB’s will stop 4 WRs? LOL ok whatever you say goat. “Hope ing” De La Salle wont run it and I know they didnt run it the first time. Just like AV and Foothill didnt run it lol.
December 3rd, 2009 at 11:39 am
Y do u think the dime was created 2 stop the run i notice that coaches think because they get away with murder that its the proper way to handle a problem. So u put unnecessary strain on the kids then when the kids doesn’t proform you yell and scream AT BILLY
hows my spelling im using spell check lmao
December 3rd, 2009 at 11:45 am
The Dime was created to put more Athletes on the field and it would only work if the team has 4 great D-Lineman and a stud LB.
Your spelling is great now LMAO..I see you finally realize that you can right click your mouse to fix your errors lol.
December 3rd, 2009 at 11:50 am
Your spell check doesn’t work!!! LOL! PERFORM! And just because I really want to show how dumb you are, KID DOESN’T, KIDS DON’T. LMAO!!!!!
December 3rd, 2009 at 11:54 am
LMAO..oh I didnt see the proform lol..wow I guess it didnt work lol. I guess I got lost on the screaming at Billy…whoever Billy is lol
December 3rd, 2009 at 11:56 am
More athletes 2 stop the run or pass
Enlighten me I like to learn its my
favorite thing Can you run the dime with LB on the field
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:08 pm
u got me lol are u a english teacher dubbing as a coach
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Like I said, The Dime can work if the D-Line and the LB is really good. Without the D-Line, you have no defense cuz thats where it starts and you dont wanna give a good running back room to run and a good quarterback time to throw to good receivers.
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:19 pm
yes i rode the yellow bus then they found out my IQ was 147 and they couldn’t figure out y i can’t process words so i got on the specail bus 4 the gifted
ur a funny funny guy i enjoy football spelling not so much english not so much violence alot
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:21 pm
The Problem with Dime In High School Goat is must teams Dont have 2 quality corners… Let alone 5…
And That matrix u keep talkin about???… I would just call that being well prepared and maybe in a zone…Its not magic…
For example take a talented sophmore whose good enough to play varsity..may struggle early but By the time he’s a senior the game will have slowed down for him to the point he enters your so called Matrix… I’d call in just a natural progression…
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Dude everything works if u have a good d-line and a stud LB what r u saying
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Could a kid learn that ? Maybe.. But 11? plus mabe 4 or 5 subs??? is that a base package you going to put in you scheme in the summer??Or something you gonna put in that week for MV? When you overload the kidz with too much they will be thinking instead of reacting and flying around… = a 50 burger on your head…Want fries wit that?
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:28 pm
I am saying most teams dont have the perfect package to run a dime. 4 great lineman, a stud LB and 6 good DB’s.
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Well natural progression is not the matrix u have 2 have the physical talent so u will never understand
u think u can teach the matrix LOL sorry u cant is like blacking out cuz u stop thinking and u react to everything perfectly u dont no how u do it it just happens sometimes
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:48 pm
So are u saying b/c i disagree with you I Lack or lacked “physical talent”??? How can u tell that from a blog?? You really must be the the first non spelling genius i ever met…
I said nothing of teaching tha “Matrix or talent”..
The Matrix is a movie!!! Jus like “The Force” from Star wars..
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:49 pm
We are fading away from the whole purpose of this blog lol. The H.A.A.L All League Team.
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:51 pm
The Goat is speaking in his own language. Anybody besides the goat will be lost because no one understands the goat, besides the goat. Im still lost on who the hell Billy is LMAO
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:56 pm
ur right boys in the hood
coach if u ever been in the MATRIX u wouldnt say the things u say My son said i think i hit the matrix i said boy u anit hit the matrix he said everything got all fuzzy but i can still see everything i said yeah thats the matrix but only the begining
December 3rd, 2009 at 1:01 pm
HOOD BOY adults that think they no everything r hard 2 teach but the kids understand my madness
22rec 11tds 28ypc 606yds
December 3rd, 2009 at 1:03 pm
LOl…good poin hood.. Goat…I’m done bickering with you even tho it’s been fun, I’ll jus I agree to disagree.. Wish the best for you and your son.. Any idea where he’s headed nex yr??
Make sure that fuzzy feelin aint comin from 1 of them fast lil females or that good ol herbal…lol j/k
December 3rd, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Speakin on The All League… I saw alot of games this season and sum film..I think this league is on the rise..Still probably wont get respect from the outside until they have better non league games showings..But i se that happening nex yr.. alot of talent scatered around.. Arroyo is gonna be loaded in the coming yrs.. Hughes outta hayward is nice, think he shoulda got more touches..Still think san Leandro is at the head of the class with that returning qb..He’s gonna be a kid to look out for next yr if he continue’s his progress (MATRIX GOAT)lol.. Felt like they had a lot of youg rb’s who didnt play enough because roberson was carryin the load.. But from what i saw i dont think they’ll lose much in the ruinning game….
December 3rd, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Any idea how to judge talent b4 the senior season
can my kid get more then 32 pass attempts in 10 games
when he’s so wide open on film that no one else is on the screen with him I dont think its funny that the QB is taught 2 read the flats first when its a man 50 yrds down the field wide open but no use crying over spilled milk now im hope ing lol somebody think 22rec and 11tds -able 2 read a D on the fly- playing with no fear stemming DB like a jedi master has a value. But i do thank everyone at SL STATE 4 the exposer
December 3rd, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Yea this league is an up and coming and its filled with Juniors and Sophomores. And its bringing up a lot of talent from the JV teams. But this league gotta play some good teams and earn some respect
December 3rd, 2009 at 1:36 pm
You should be Grateful Goat.. Check The numbers around other lges not called the EBAL… Sum teams only attempted 32 passes all yr..
December 3rd, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Coach Bowers Is on a role Scheduling the toughest games possible.. Spoke with a Logan coach last week, He Said they have San leandro for the nex 2 yrs..that should be a rivaly…
December 3rd, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Not with the best player in the league on there team
running down the field wide open u think i should be happy thats a joke So i should be happy he caught one td on bellimine wide open all day beat the dog death out of valley chst. DB’s all day 1td If he got the ball more SL state would b undefeated Should we go look at the film FILM DONT LIE
December 3rd, 2009 at 2:01 pm
U better hope i dont get a coaching job in the Haal
SL state will b exposed smoke and mirrors is no way to judge talent thats way sl get slapped upside the head in the offs coaches blow away the smoke and break the mirror
December 3rd, 2009 at 2:07 pm
LOL…I actually hope you do…
December 3rd, 2009 at 2:24 pm
San Leandro should really play Berkeley again, and add Pitt or an EBAL School. Every team in this league should really step their game up and add better teams and have good games
December 3rd, 2009 at 2:27 pm
So u can bow ur head in humage i dont want no body looking down at they play sheet nobody yelling at the kids 4 not moving a mountain and so on and so on LMAO
bY THE way Ty ward is a beast so is the tight end a san larenzo
December 3rd, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Congrats to all the “all league players”. Just glad to see that the offensive player of the year, the defensive player of the year, 3 of the 4 1st team RB’s, 1st team KR, 1st team DE, 1st team LB, 2 of the 4 1st team DB’s, and 3 honorable mentions all came from the CRUSADERS!!!! Very nice.
December 3rd, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Hey GOAT,
I know where you are comming from. Look at SL last year. they had the best QB and the 3 best recievers in the HAAL and yet they ran the ball twice as much as they threw it. we told you last year how bad it was and talked to you after the playoff game this year in the parking lot and you agreed that the play calling was questionable at best.
December 3rd, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Dnrapp
You did tell me last year and this year but it was my best opption i was held hostage I truly beleive they mean well i just hurts
December 3rd, 2009 at 4:17 pm
i’m sorry but i hate when parents question coaches play calling… you guys don’t know the situation… you don’t know how reliable the line is at pass blocking… San Leandro has a great staff they know what they are doing… they know their team, their opponents, and what is best for their team. Don’t forget they almost beat de la salle a couple of years ago with a more talented group of skill players that percievably could have aired it out but they ran more then 80% of time and almost took NCS.. as soon as they try and air it out and get hit with alot of sacks or incompletions some parent is going to yell to RUN THE BALL… coaches shouldn’t give a damn waht offense parents, who don’t know how to coach high school football, wants to run but run what you’re knowledgable at and what you know your team can do
December 3rd, 2009 at 5:01 pm
#73
plz the only reason the offens almost beat dls was the talent of the players and a running QB u fool I no what i speak is the truth IF u dont no football stop it plz IM starting 2 wonder whats going on has everyone lost their minds I LIKE THE COACHES BUT PLZ STEP UR GAME UP
December 3rd, 2009 at 5:11 pm
# 73
How do u bet a regular cover 3
how about cover 3 with an 8 man blitz
u think we as parent are 2 sit back a watch a cover the kick they azz every year and not vent come come now
basically ur saying ur doing the best u can well ur suppose 2 win league u got more kids but against the other D1 scholl ur 0-7 the last 2 years let go to the FILM
December 3rd, 2009 at 9:22 pm
My good friend coaches over at foothill JC and he told me to leave the coaches alone
I failed to realize this is someone’s job and money is involved. The coaches don’t make mistakes on purpose and no matter how right I am you cant change a grown mans mind if he doesn’t want to change
So I am done badgering the coaches well maybe one more if you give a 2 year old some red punch don’t get mad when they spill it on your carpet. #73 i wish you luck in your next coaching job. Keep that same theory dont change what you know no matter what genius but i wonder how you learn.

some fans don’t realize that in high school you learn a particular offense and u teach the hell out of it… this is not the Pros or college where you can practice 10 hours a day and perfect every offense with addition to ur base offense… running one offense well is better then learning three and doing it subpar… Monte Vista is a spread to pass team and they excel at that… San Leandro is a Wing T team and they excel at the Wing T although they are good enough to pass out of it… There not good enough to abandon the wing T and run’s monte vista’s offense…
December 3rd, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Coaches learn all the time… new techniques… new concepts… its just a matter of fitting into your philosophy… just because a team is not an airraid team doesn’t mean the coach isn’t adapting… i would love to see some of the people complaining about coaching actually try and coach

I truly like the coaches im just not a fan of the wing T it has 2 many flase. I think coaching real coaching get the ball 2 the play makers some way some how. ZONE TURNS 2 MAN so if u think its easier 2 get 8 moving parts 2 move in unison compared 2 just 2 or 3- more power to you. IN SHORT SO WHAT UR IN A COVER 3 IM A BETTER PLAYER THEN U AND ITS ME AND U IN THIS DEEP 3RD
LMAO as i step on ur chest.

Like I’ve stated before Saturday Morning coachs make me sick… Goat- If the caoching was so bad @ SL why send your kid there???There’s plenty of schools in the area.. But to sit on here at take pot shots at Bowers and his coaching staff shows no class at all..
Unless your at every practice, every camp, know the injury report, know the disciplinery actions,know the grade check reports, knows whos mom said Johnny cant play this week and all the other 100′s of variables that play a role week to week with a high school football team then you knowledge of what your saying is VERY Limited..
Lastly San Leandro’s Offense has been in the top 10 in the east Bay every yr for the last 7 or 8 yrs…I think Bowers and staff are doing fine..
December 4th, 2009 at 8:29 am
I C ur ego got the best of u this morning u play schools that r not in ur class like FLORIDA PLAYING UC DAVIS not once but 6x a year lol) then u go around town beating ur chest. And u almost lost 2 ARROYO and Odowd have u no same SIR. aS 4 all those intangible which i call excuses Stop it cuz it rubbing of on the players.
December 4th, 2009 at 8:51 am
My ego???..Whatt are you talkin about… San Leandro can not help the lge there in and sl is not my team.. i coach else where.. Im speaking for all coach’s that Have GOATS like u 2nd guessing there every move.. but i do happen to know bowers personally and kno hes a hella of a coach that gives his all to the kidz…Check The d1 and pro players out San Leandro under his leadership..
But Once again .. U Failed to answer my question.. You dont like the wing T which sl has been running for the past 14 sum yrs and you dont like the coaching which has been the same for the last 10…So why send young Goat there and then complain about the wing -t and coaching????
You claimed in a previous blog 89 skyline was the best team ever..My ego tells me youmust have been apart of that team..Yes? Why not send the goat up the hill to skyline????
I would advise these goat parents to do sum home work..Find out which program best fit s your son or duagther and send them to that school… There are interdistrict transfers and ways to get it done… Do sum research b4 there freshman yr..its alot easier at that point..
But Goat would rather send his son sum where then be mad when the coach wont change his enitre program to fit what he thinks they shoud be doing… Your a funny guy Goat…Classic..
December 4th, 2009 at 9:33 am
Ur argue like a woman the point is u are suppose 2 win
u have more talent and a bigger talent pool dont act like ur such a great coach let me c u go coach another team with less talent since ur such a great coach lets c how well u do all i c r play-off losses year n and year out unless u have a running QB ur offense doesnt go dude sorry u dont even no y SL wins. U guys crush the talented kids Then say they wont by in buy in 2 what reading the flat first ur handicapping the kids
anybody that really knows football would wonder y A WR IS wide open in the endzone and the QB doesnt c him oh i forgot he’s reading the flats LETS GO 2 THE FILM

December 4th, 2009 at 9:43 am
I find it strange that the A-D at SL STATE loves my kid and wants him 2 play 4 him an the coaches keep talking about how terrible he is but if u force feed a child bullshit he will soon get sick and u kill his essence for playing my son know how 2 read a d and he gets wide open not a little wide open but 10 15 yrds wide open he makes DBs fall down there running the wrong way but oh hit the flats u better not throw him the ball he’s wide open LETS GO 2 THE FILM
December 4th, 2009 at 9:46 am

If your a fan root for the school that does the philosphy u agrre with.. I your a parent send your kid to where there coaching what you believe.. problem solved.. Not very difficult.. but i’ll cut and paste my question again for an answer hopefully..
But Once again .. U Failed to answer my question.. You dont like the wing T which sl has been running for the past 14 sum yrs and you dont like the coaching which has been the same for the last 10…So why send young Goat there and then complain about the wing -t and coaching???

December 4th, 2009 at 10:45 am
LOL…wow…what happened lol??
December 4th, 2009 at 10:49 am
the question will not be answered so just let it go coach. lets get back to the purpose of this blog…
December 4th, 2009 at 10:49 am
THE LESSER OF TO EVILS
AND no one in there right mind would not hit a wide open WR or so i thought is that standrad n the wing tee
if this bickering is bothering anyone let me no
December 4th, 2009 at 10:52 am
i c u got ur friends 3 on one seems fair 2 me
December 4th, 2009 at 10:55 am
see…told you it wont be answered coach lol. No one will understand the goat, besides the goat. He is a very good receiver and a great returner. He on the first team twice with an unanimous selection. No need to be mad about that. Gotta love it
December 4th, 2009 at 10:57 am
No one is picking sides. I am the one who is saying let it go and get back to the blog
December 4th, 2009 at 10:58 am
GOAT be a coach for the love of the game and the love for the kids. Not to prove people wrong.
December 4th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Souz- Everyone is intitiled to opinon, including me..
December 4th, 2009 at 11:09 am
Goat has no idea on being Grateful… His son had an excellent season withthe pirates and all he can do is come on here and bash the COACH’s…Just My Opionion… Wonder how many catchs and td’s he woulda had @1 and 8 Skyline… Maybe he woulda made the ALL OAL Team..LOL
December 4th, 2009 at 11:10 am
My kid under achieved by his own standrad and when he say oh by the way im first team WR and KR
but we are out the offs and drops his eyes in sadness
i feel his pain
SO WHO’S THE FRONT RUNNER 2 WIN LEAGUE NEXT YEAR
December 4th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Yea maybe he would lol, but SL passed more than Skyline so nobody would know him at Skyline like people know him at SL
December 4th, 2009 at 11:14 am
He had a good year at SL
December 4th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Arroyo..They Won the Crusader battle with SL the last couple of yr..Got sum studs
December 4th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Yea its tough to lose in the playoffs. I feel his pain too. But he had a great year. Front runner for next year will be hard to pick. A lot of big names are graduating, but a lot of teams had a lot of good juniors and sophomores and good JV teams.
December 4th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Arroyo won the crusader battle???…Really??..they did have a lot of athletes up there tho
December 4th, 2009 at 11:34 am
what about 0dowd TY WARD and company
December 4th, 2009 at 11:41 am
Ward is good too. Dont know who is coming back with him. I think #8 is a Junior and he ran good this year. But they are losing their quarterback so I think that will be the first order of business for the Dragons.
December 4th, 2009 at 11:44 am
# 8 is a soph he should b hard next year
this is a run happy league so QB should b a problem
December 4th, 2009 at 11:50 am
A few schools got QB’s coming back for next year tho. SL, Hayward and Tennyson will have a starting QB by the time camps start with the players they worked with last year so they will be fine.
December 4th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
kicker from hayward Jose Tapia is a sophmore
December 4th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Jose Tapia, the kicker from Hayward, is a sophmore.
December 4th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
yup..Arroyo’s #34 Def player of the yr..#28 1st team corner and the jv qb all crusader kidz/all future studs… Great skill guys..Hayward’s a threat with Hughes.. And If Castro Valley get sum of those basket ball players to play football look out..How is Castro Valleys basket ball team All Black anyway??lol.. That reciever from castro valley that got hurt is a beast….
December 4th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
The JV QB is nice!. Castro Valley basketball team just beat Pitt 96-58 so it looks like they will be nice this year and they might be all black again lol. Still a shock to me lol. I thought the WR from Castro was a TE lol. Thats a big receiver but he is a beast tho and only a Jr
December 4th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
the JV QB from Arroyo
December 4th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
we r truly happy when day dreaming about future happiness after all ur happiness can only b judge by considering the happiness of others
December 4th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
there you go again GOAT..going off subject lol
December 4th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
WTH??? Are u bloggin from the mental Ward???
December 4th, 2009 at 12:54 pm

December 4th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
LMAO!!..No one understands but him lol
December 4th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
LOL!!!!Thats hella funny…Now it all makes sense…
December 4th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
I hope hes not bloggin from the mental ward. Giving someone from the mental ward a computer!!. Shit he might blow the world up pushing the wrong button lol
December 5th, 2009 at 9:25 am
Just because you don’t understand doesn’t make you right it makes you ignorant
Maybe what I’m saying is far 2 advanced. Fools laugh when they should be crying
You have 2 be one of those people that think the world is flat so you’re afraid to go 2 the edge but there is no edge only greatness beyond the horizon. U seem 2 think I’m angry 4 no reason but when I come in the office and tell u how to bet bellimine prep and u look at me like I’m a fool then get beat 2 death
By bellimine I can only wonder how you analyze football
Well here’s my attempt to explain once again Bellimine runs a wedge similar to a wedge on kick off return so u send a wedge buster instead of sitting back waiting 4 their blockers to picked you off
Once u smash the wedge the runner has 2 make a choice he can just ride his escort 2 glory mean while one corner is blitzing off the edge They have no WR so attack the would be WR In the back field send 8 and roll the other 3 incase they pass get them out there comfort zone no running team want 2 pass.
A blocking QB should never last a quarter hit him in the chin ever time pain is the great equalizer
As for my credibility look at the best WR in the league and who trained him since birth.
December 16th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
I must agree with MVAL Expert…
Newark is the greatest high school basketball team of all time.No doubt If Lebon tried out for the Cougars he would be cut in a heartbeat! They might go undefeated again this year but maybe just maybe Logan is good enough to beat them 3 times who knows.I SAY LOGAN WILL BEAT THEM LIKE A RUG! Even if the Cougars (the best high school team of all time) are having a chemitry problems and they are it doesn’t matter because they still could be the best high school team of all time! Pride of the MVAL. GO LOGAN!!!
