Contra Costa-Alameda All Star game nearing
By Ben Enos
Monday, June 14th, 2010 at 10:14 am in East Bay Football.
The 37th annual Contra Costa-Alameda All Star Classic football game is fast approaching, so I figured I’d give everyone the link to take a look at the rosters. This year, they’re using Las Lomas as the host site after holding the event at Los Medanos last year. Here’s the link to the rosters and event details.
37th annual Contra Costa-Alameda All Star Classic
Last year’s event was a huge success, with a packed house enjoying a narrow win by the Alameda squad. This year, Freedom head coach Kevin Hartwig will coach the Contra Costa team and San Lorenzo’s Jacob Wright will coach the Alameda stars.
Tickets are on sale tonight at the Laney College Forum Room from 6:30-8:30. They’re also on sale next Monday at San Lorenzo High (1:30-3:30) and Las Lomas High (6:30-8:30). General admission is $7 and $3 for students/seniors. If you buy on the day of the game, it costs $10 for general admission and $5 for students/seniors.
Football in June? You know I’m looking forward to it.
[You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.]

Any roster yet?
June 14th, 2010 at 10:37 am
They have a list of guys they’ve invited on the site, but I’d imagine the roster won’t go final until they have practices next week. And, even then, they’ll probably add a couple guys late. That’s what they did last year.
June 14th, 2010 at 10:55 am
Geez these are the best coaches they could find??
June 14th, 2010 at 1:37 pm
What is the website for the all star game?
June 14th, 2010 at 1:38 pm
Oops! I see the link.
June 14th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
perkin that was cold. hey coach wright did make it to the playoffs this past season.
June 14th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Actually he didn’t & the other guy was 1-9.
June 14th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
he did, didn’t he? even if he got the boot in the first round.
June 14th, 2010 at 11:46 pm
Nope Perkins is right he didn’t make the playoffs. can someone clue me in who makes the decision or sends the invites out for this allstar game.
June 15th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
i think the kids have to have been all league to b on the team, so i think maybe u have to b a section champ or at least a league champ to b the coach, coach wright is a good dude though
June 15th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
this is off-topic, but when is all-eastbay for baseball coming out?
June 16th, 2010 at 12:29 am
How are the players chosen?
June 16th, 2010 at 10:30 am
Wright is an underachiever. He has way better talent then his record.
June 16th, 2010 at 11:39 am
Having trouble Finding the Rosters for either team?
June 16th, 2010 at 12:36 pm
Lfielder,
We are meeting today to select the team so look for it in the paper next week or so.
June 17th, 2010 at 12:07 am
To get the All Star rosters, click on the website link above that says “37th annual Contra Costa-Alameda All Star Classic” or the link below. Then click either Alameda or Contra Costa in the brown boxes on the left side. The names of the players are in the color of their schools and interspersed with the advertisers down the middle of the page. They aren’t the easiest rosters to read, but it does give the advertisers some bang for their bucks.

June 17th, 2010 at 10:18 am
does anyody know what time the game will be??
June 17th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
to keep it real coach wright has underachieve or he’s a liar cuz every camp i’m around i hear him yap’n bout his talent but never seems 2 translate on the field. he got skunked at home by alameda nuff said. peronon u losing to him had to be the straw that broke the camels back! thats y ur out of a gig!
June 17th, 2010 at 4:41 pm
Apparently Jacob’s lack of character and of coaching ability are revealing themselves. When push comes to shove, he does crumple, but he does talk a good game, though.
He probably got the job because he’s one of Beam’s boys.
Just another who can talk-the-talk but can’t walk-the-walk (or in this case, coach football)
June 17th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
yes from my experiences wit coach wright he’s a cocky prick who thinks he cn turn a program around with the little talent he has…this years game is a wash the talent is wayyyyy downhill compared to last years but then again look who the coach was..zo knew the right kids to pick wright doesnt…but i see a couple names worth being on the roster an a few that dont
June 17th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
Allroads,
Seems like all you do is talk the talk. If you dont coach, or want to go see Coach Wright face to face to tell him your point of view, you’re all talk as well, chump. You, BJ and Perkin are all clowns. Quit hatin’
June 17th, 2010 at 11:58 pm
posts # 18 and 19 wow i had to laugh at both of ur comments, might b some truth in it, coach wright have been known to chat a bit bout his talant at slz. wow im still laughing.
June 18th, 2010 at 8:31 am
I gotta agree #18 & 19 were funny as hell. But can you blame the guy. He’d get crucified if he said, ” we’re undersized, have a lotta raw talent but I can’t develop it, & we’ll get blown out a few times this year.
June 18th, 2010 at 9:32 am
#18, Billjohnson, that’s some funny stuff except the part about Alameda…..lol! I’ll take that as a compliment…right? Come on bruh give us some credit we improved over the 2008 season.
June 18th, 2010 at 1:06 pm
Thewrightstuff,
Is that you Jacob?
Doesn’t an All-Star game pre-suppose an All-Star cast? What is your record as head coach at SLZ? Nuff said there especially after they won a CIF title before you took over.
As for facing you man-to-man, been there done that and billjohnson hit the nail on the head when stating “he’s a liar.”
June 18th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
Allroads,
1. This isnt Coach Wright.
2. Identify yourself, or you’re just talking the talk, coward.
3. SLZ did not win CIF the year before Wright took over. They made it to finals and lost…still an accomplishment.
4. Coach Wright teaches more than just X’s and O’s, he teaches life skills. Ask his players, go ahead…just ask them.
5. When did you talk with Coach Wright face to face, tell us all the results of that discussion, chump?
June 18th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
No hating just calling it like I see it. The guy was 0-10 for Pete’s sake. 3-7 with a Cal Berkeley recruit. How many schools have Cal Berkeley recruits? Best year was 6-4 & didn’t make the play-offs in a 16 team brackett. Might as well have made Alameda’s coach the All-star coach atleast he made the play-offs twice.
June 18th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
thewrightstuff,
1. This isnt Coach Wright. SURE
2. Identify yourself, or you’re just talking the talk, coward. I’LL BE A COWARD, BUT AT LEAST I AM WINNING COWARD.
3. SLZ did not win CIF the year before Wright took over. They made it to finals and lost…still an accomplishment. DIDN’T YOU JUST REINFORCE MY POINT ANYWAYS?
4. Coach Wright teaches more than just X’s and O’s, he teaches life skills. Ask his players, go ahead…just ask them. THAT’S TRUE, BUT THAT’S WHAT THEY ALWAYS SAY ABOUT LOSING COACHES LIKE JACOB.
5. When did you talk with Coach Wright face to face, tell us all the results of that discussion, chump? ACTUALLY, THE FACE-TO-FACE WAS AMICABLE. IT WAS THE FICTION HE CREATED AFTERWARDS. TO THIS DAY, I CAN’T THINK OF WHY HE DIDN’T JUST TELL THE TRUTH.
ANYTHING ELSE? AND JACOB, GIVE ME A CALL. I’LL STILL TALK TO YOU.
June 18th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
What is it you want to accomplish with your blogs?
Do you want him fired, exposed, what? What’s your point?
And, tell us, please, what you are a winner of? Blogging?
To be absolutely fair to Coach Wright, this IS NOT him.
June 19th, 2010 at 9:04 am
Watch out for MACK! 7 D1 players.
June 19th, 2010 at 10:37 am
Kickoff has been pushed back to 7:30
June 19th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Mack? Everyone knows they have athletes but will they even be eligible for the season? Let alone to accept a scholarship. Same thing for the whole OAL.
June 19th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
Coach Jacob isn’t a good coach. Good guy but he can’t win games. Never has and I don’t know if he will. He has lots of talent over at SLZ and they should be right in the mix every year in that league. His players might think he is cool but I don’t see how you can really respect or wanna play for a coach that doesn’t lead you to wins. I hope that he’s not on campus because that would be really sad.
June 19th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
He is on campus. Such a huge advantage. They should be winning more games.
June 19th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
Mack huh? What camps you guys going to this year?
June 19th, 2010 at 9:11 pm
Wow! He is? Thats pitiful! On campus coaches have the best advantages. What are the early OAL predictions? What is this years best preseason games?
June 19th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
1 MACK
2 Tech
3 Fremont
4 Castlemont
5 Oakland
6 Skyline
June 19th, 2010 at 10:54 pm
hey to OAL fan, yeah mack will probably be better if they can keep their kids eligible, not sure about the 7 D1 recruits though. Plus the OAL will have alot of teams trying to rebuild, they will have thye most returners but the have a ? at QB. I am not sure they will win, Fremont still has some talent, and Tech is always dangerous with a stout defense every year. Skyline is still trying to find themselves with a young coaching staff. Oakland high has eligibility issues and one main player, Castlemont also has grade issues. So we will see. I would not say look out for Mack but if they win, then they should if they have the returners with the experience. So to me the OAL is still wide open every year.
June 20th, 2010 at 1:01 am
the OaL always have players and mange to keep them eligble i tKE MY HAT OFF TO THEM THERE CIRCUMSTANCES ISNT ALWAS GREAT1 but the kids rise to occation the mval is tring to do the same several players have a chance at a scholarship starting with deandre carter at wr/db is staring at the cal camp this weekend.
June 20th, 2010 at 10:58 am
What other teams & players were looking good at the Cal Camp?
June 20th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
I hear some guys from Berkeley High were looking good at the CAL camp
June 20th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
San Ramon Valley QB was looking real good at the Cal camp, I forgot his name, he was getting some hard looks from the Cal staff and had a lengthy conversation with Tedford after his last scrimmage. I didn’t see a real standout back compete , although Berkeley looked big on both sides of the line.
June 20th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
Deandre Carter was looking really good at out there got a good look from db coach simmons. Bishop odowd had nice receiver and db out there not sure of name too many players to narrow down names syd quan thompson brother made cameo appearance. good camp though good experience. for the kids
June 20th, 2010 at 10:57 pm
Marcus Peters DB from MACK won MVP at the Nike Combine camp at Stanford.
June 21st, 2010 at 7:38 pm
Hartwig coaching the CC all star team with a fairly even amount of talent on both squads, my favor will fall with the CC all stars by 14 points, in what should be a great battle
June 21st, 2010 at 8:06 pm
By looking at the two rosters, the Contra Costa team will kill the Alameda all stars. Don’t know who picks the players but they didn’t do a good job of recruting.
June 21st, 2010 at 8:07 pm
Seems like a lot of players on the Alameda side aren’t playing.
June 21st, 2010 at 8:54 pm
Really? Who Perkin?
June 21st, 2010 at 9:31 pm
Can’t think of anyone in particular but the OAL isn’t very well represented. Nobody who signed is playing for the Alameda team. Encinal had a lot of guys looks like only one is playing.
June 21st, 2010 at 10:00 pm
By looking at the roster they stayed in the Hayward area for recruits. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t go straight to the OAL for some good athletes. Encinal had one of the biggest lines in the bay and you are telling me that only one guy is playing? All thoses guys from Tech, Encinal, OHigh, and Fremont should be on the team.
June 22nd, 2010 at 7:03 am
got to remember anyone who signed would not play in a all-star game this late…
and there are a ton of player from the OAL i wouldn’t say they avoided there…looks like san leandro and logan have the most and they should as they were two of the better teams on the alameda side…
encinal may be a little unrepresented…washington doesn’t even have a player on here which makes me wonder considering they went the furthest of any alameda county team in d1…
got to remember it is what it is…the real all star game was in december…by now 80% of that team has scholarships now and are not going to play in the a june allstar game weeks before they start working out for there college teams. they have to do this earlier if it is going to have any significance
June 22nd, 2010 at 7:34 am
True most won’t play but there are usually one or two that play for the experience. Tech should proably have 2-3 players on this team.
June 22nd, 2010 at 8:02 am
I have to agree with Norcalfball, most of your more talented graduated seniors are 2 to 1 weeks away from starting practtice with their perspective colleges,whether thats Jr. college or a 4 year school.
June 22nd, 2010 at 11:43 am
I agree with norcalfootball, this game should be played in december as well or at the latest janurary. I’m sure some players could have used the exposure and may have even solidified a scholarship offer.
June 22nd, 2010 at 12:26 pm
Great point Norcalfootball. But I’m sure there are better players out there that don’t have scholarships than the ones at Tennyson and Albany.
June 22nd, 2010 at 12:56 pm
Brandonbeard I didn’t loose any players to eligibility last year and won’t loose any this year. We have three young men that will attend Ivy League Schools. I don’t know where you get your information. It is false and my kids don’t deserve the bad press. They are hard working kids and will earn everything that they get.
June 22nd, 2010 at 1:15 pm
There it is, straight from Coach Mac. I’ve known Coach Mac since high school and if he says he didn’t loose anyone to grades then I have to believe him. If you’re going to put a coaches program out there along with his players please get your facts straight. Players, coaches, and even parents read these blogs and negative press against the players is all bad.
June 22nd, 2010 at 2:19 pm
will have to agree with island02, negative press towards the kids is all bad. talkin bad about an adult is one thing but to talking really bad about a kid is a whole other thing, sure everybody is entitled to an opinion but sometimes people on here have gone too far. i was also at the camp this past weekend and thought that BOD have some good players, they played with great energy. folsom was good on offense, didnt really get to c many other local school it was so so so many kids there. coach carter has a passing league this weekend at ccc, should b a good one, they have a big man comp. too
June 22nd, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Press? This is a BLOG. Anyone who pays any credibility to mandown should be ashamed of themselves. But, with all the hard work coaches put in, it can be frustrating to see some loud mouth hiding in anonymity in cyberspace lying about coaches, players and programs. Mandown is a clown who gets off on this kind of stuff.
June 22nd, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Electric WR,
This is a blog right? Can’t I say what I feel like everyone else? Haha! People like you just make me laugh. I’ll say what I please whether you like it or not. Get used to it or get lost.
June 22nd, 2010 at 8:31 pm
Electric WR who do you stand for?
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:13 pm
As I have said before, Perkin=Mandown=coward. I stand for trying to encourage, instead of discourage. I stand for offering solutions, instead of complaining. I stand for talking directly to a person if I have a problem, not on a blog.
I stand for hard working coaches, players and programs. I stand for the people volunteering their time for young people. I dont stand for critics who are in the arena, like both of you cowards.
Mandown, sure you have the right to blog freely, that much is obvious and quite a simple response from a simple person. I was just curious what you are attempting to accomplish with your negative words for some bay area coaches and programs.
Sadly, you did not answer my original question….what/who do you stand for?
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:15 pm
Electric Wr, you’re absolutely right this is a blog; but as a parent and a coach you can talk about me, Alameda High , our coaches , our program; but, when someone starts making negative comments against the players then we have reached a level that is disrespectful and inmmature. My son has been talked about on this blog and he used all the negativity in his favor, to fuel his passion for the game and to be a better teammate and player. His hardwork has caught the attention of a few schools already. So let’s try to keep the comments , at least the negative ones away from the kids and concentrate on pointing out the positive things some of these young men are accomplishing.
Coach Cunningham
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Island,
Somehow, I think you are agreeing with me. But if you and your son need these blogs for motivation, I might suggest looking elsewhere.
June 23rd, 2010 at 1:35 am
The Mval isn’t represented in this game at all other than logan the other schools had some talent that they be represented and be an asset to the squad. who picks these teams? coach cARTER’S PASSING LEAGUE WILL BE REALLY GOOD THIS WEKEEND it’ll be worth checking out.
June 23rd, 2010 at 4:25 am
Just what I thought. You’re such a loser.
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:24 am
Electric Wr, we don’t need any blog for motivation;but, when he reads all the negative things that were said about him it helped motivate even more. No, his motivation comes from deeper within himself, but like I said when people start hating on you , you can handle it in different ways. You can let it bring you down, you can let it anger you , or you turn it into a positive and use it as fuel. That is what I’m saying.
June 23rd, 2010 at 1:34 pm
so the game will be this saturday at 7:30 pm at the las lomas campus is that correct? imma go see my teamates steven porschet and willie owens.
June 24th, 2010 at 6:38 am
Mack Football… Get Ready!
June 24th, 2010 at 10:17 am
I just want to thank coach Wright for his phenominal coaching skills and for the superb life lessons he taught my son William Fukofuka. My son is a better man and player thanks to this man and without you he wouldn’t have gotten to the next level. We truly have been blessed to cross your path. I really can’t say enough so thanks for always being there for us both!!!! We love you and will miss you……………………….
June 24th, 2010 at 11:27 am
Thanks Fukasmom, Coach Wright deserves better than the folks on her blasting his name for not winning?
If you notice, Allroads, Perkin, Mandown dont have anything to say anymore….crickets.
Of course, their argument is that “its a blog, and I’ll say what I want.”
Cant wait to see what they come back with now.
June 24th, 2010 at 11:44 am
Electric WR,
I never said he wasn’t a good guy. He isn’t a good coach is what I said. They guy doesn’t win games, he has good players over at SLZ, and he is on campus. No reason that SLZ shouldn’t be in the mix with winning league and competing in the playoffs. Sorry but in this case the truth hurts. I thought an all star game was is supposed to have the best players with the best coaches? By the looks of it this isn’t really a all star team or staff.
June 24th, 2010 at 12:24 pm
FUKASMOM Wright should have done way better with the athletes he had. Your son with the other 2 polys alone were studs & thats all that I’m metioning there were others. 6-4 & no play-offs in a 16 team brackett is not an all-start coach.
June 24th, 2010 at 1:51 pm
Mandown,
How can you evaluate a coach when you are not a coach?
Or, are/were you a coach? Where and when?
How do you know good coaching? Let me guess, you’re a raiders fan, right?
June 24th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Yes, I am a Raiders fan matter of fact! It doesn’t matter if I am a coach or not, any idiot can tell good coaching from bad coaching. Just like my Raiders, if you can’t win with all those good athletes then something is wrong with what you are running. Jacob Wright cannot win games with good players. Electric WR seems to believe thats not true when his record says other.
June 24th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
“any idiot can tell good coaching from bad coaching.”
Thats where you and I disagree. Any idiot can go on a blog and criticize HIGH SCHOOL coaches, it doesn’t mean that same idiot (mandown) can tell good coaching from bad coaching. It means your opinion is invalid. And yes, I know, you have the right to your opinion.
Too bad they don’t have blogs to criticize whatever it is you do for a living. And if you are a raider fan, I could take a guess at what you do for a living.
June 24th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
Wow!!!! Mandown I guess you didn’t know that your beloved Raiders came to our school and gave Coach Wright an award for his great coaching skills….but I guess the Raiders just do that for anybody! Yes we got robbed with the playoffs NCS letting in a school with a losing record 4-6 over us but we know it’s all politics and our coach and boys worked really hard to get there. That being said I really feel sorry for people who have to come on here and trash talk others just to feel good about themselves so I’ll pray for you.
June 24th, 2010 at 8:30 pm
You seem to think he is this great coach and I don’t. Good person but not a very good coach. The guy had one winning season out of four and still didn’t make the playoffs. Any idiot knows thats not good. I don’t know why you are so mad at that but its the truth and you know it. This is the same guy who has scholarship caliber athletes and still can’t win with them. Sorry but I know that there are teams with better records out in the bay that wish they can have the type of players he has.
June 24th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
NEVER have I said he is great. I just dont think he deserves idiots like you blasting him for his record, when there is more to it than you could ever know (since I know you have never coached a minute in your life). You only come on here to criticize coaches and programs and you know it, and that’s why you are a coward.
And please tell us, which, “teams with better records out in the bay that wish they can have the type of players he has.” Since you know so much.
June 24th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
Getting zeroed by Alameda with all those athletes is not a good job.

Perkin I’ll take that as a compliment ! The gsbe was actuly closer than hthe score indicates. Keep’in it real SLZ dropped alot of big passes.
June 25th, 2010 at 4:29 am
It is a compliment. Good job to you guys. Your coach should be coaching the All-star game over coach Wright. You have been to the play-offs 2 out of the last 3 years he has never been.
June 25th, 2010 at 6:26 am
Thanks Perkin
June 25th, 2010 at 7:21 am
Perkin (or, mandown),
1. If Coach Wright wins the all-star game, does that give him instant credibility? Careful, the answer could come back to haunt you.
2. I wonder what would happen if you coached the all-star game. you talk like you could do better.
3. I’ll ask again, what is your point? Do you think Coach Wright should be fired?
I bet your answer is something like:
I can blog all I want, its my opinion
or
He has good athletes
or
look at his record
We have heard it all before, just answer my questions, critic.
June 25th, 2010 at 9:50 am
This is gonna be a great game to watch the players perform, not by how the coaches perform
June 25th, 2010 at 10:31 am
It won’t give him any credibility winning an all star game. I hope he does win this all star game because this is the side I’m rooting for. I bet if he wins you will be on here acting like he won the state championship. Either he should be fired or he needs to step his game up by giving his kids a good chance of winning and competing in the playoffs. The teams SLZ plays aren’t really good except SL, every other team on that schedule is very beatable.
June 25th, 2010 at 12:49 pm
Mandown and Perkin,
I have news for you. Someone WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY smarter than you picked Coach Wright to be the coach. Find out who that was, and direct all of your sissyfied comments to them. I’m done. I’ll see you on here in August when all of the predictions start rolling out and you, once again, begin to criticize hard working coaches. You’re gutless.
June 25th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
Fellas I think you guys are missing the point. The question isnt if coach wright wins game even though that helps. It’s if he is getting his kids college scholarships. that should be the goal of every highschool coach.If not then alot of these guys need to be fired. Not sure of coach wright’s record far as getting kids scholarships can someone elaborate on that?
June 25th, 2010 at 1:05 pm
Who is the starting qb for cc and ac?
June 26th, 2010 at 12:17 am
It’s the players in the game that count – what are they made of? Can they bring the A game, can they bring anything for that matter. Big crowd last year, this should be good entertainment no matter what, and an oasis of football in the summer to whet the appetite. Always good to see players performing at a high level, no matter who the coach. The coaches are to be commended for spending the time. It’s not like they’re out there trying to lose or goof somebody up. Look for the good things, you’ll find them – can’t wait for the game.
June 26th, 2010 at 10:43 am
ac starting QB Cormac Craigie from Piedmont
cc starting QB Tommy Stephens from Campo
June 26th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
I would have had Barry Ford coach the AlCo team. What you think about him Perkin?
June 26th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
YOU guys hear the castlemont player from 07 that went to cal by the name of christopher little jr was kicked off the cal team earleier this week, SMDH.. tedford is terrible
June 26th, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Larry,
Is Barry Ford a head coach. I looked for him on maxpreps. He wasn’t listed.
June 27th, 2010 at 3:08 am
Oalfan, every year people rank bod over sl in the haal. but every year sl always comes up on top. what happened to bod last year? slz did better than them matter of fact they beat bod too. we all know sl is going to end up winning league again. watch out for other teams such as slz, arroyo, and hayward though.
Predictions.
1. San Leandro
2. SLZ
3/4. Hayward/ Arroyo
5.Castro Valley
6. BOD

jeff tedford stated that it was every day things like here and there. HE needs athletes and was a bay area kid as well as a projected starter. he was the best player in the OAl in 07, 06

Arroyo in 1st? I don’t know about that. SL will be good this year, I have them coming in first. Barnes will do a good job up there at Arroyo but I’m not sure if he will take league in his first year. I like
1. San Leandro
2. Hayward
3. Arroyo
4. BOD
5. Castro Valley
6. SLZ
7. Tennyson
8. Mt. Eden

Lets not put too much on Coach Barnes he’s taking over a 1-9 team. I’m sure he’d love too win league but I doubt that it will happen in his first year. If he can get young & be 5-5 thats as good as it will probably get. All kids know in that program is how too lose. So it will take some time.
Realistically. SLZ, CV, & Tennyson should finish in front of him. If he beats out any of those teams it will be huge strides.(Mt. EDen is terrible if that same guy is still there Arroyo better beat them.) League will be contested by SL & Hayward. BOD has a lot of kids coming back but who knows what Nickerson is gonna do.

I agree PERKIN. I want to see what Nickerson will do with ODowd now that he has his wish. This isn’t the NFL so we’ll wait and see if firing Peranon was the right move. I think that Barnes will beat SLZ, Mt. Eden, and Tennyson. Those three teams are terrible! He will lose to Hayward, SL, BOD, and he has a chance against Castro Valley.

I think this change at o’dowd is really whats going to put them over the bump. They have many returning starters and all-league players. They have about 6 or 7 D1 athletes. Dont sleep on odowd.
I believe the reign has ended at sl. They have a nice qb, but i dont think their skill players are what they used to be.
Hayward has a good rushing attack coming back but they are very one-sided. Cv has nothing besides Garrick coming off an ACL injury. and Arroyo is very overrated

lets just say winning the HAAL.. doesnt mean anything. probably one of the worst leagues in the entire bay area.

@ footballfanatic, are you kidding me? the end of SL reign? i believe we’re just getting started. till one of the haal teams back up what they’re saying i dont think our reign as haal champs is coming to an end. the only thing the other haal teams are gonna see this is year is #15 Chris Musni throwing touchdowns, #24 Kyrian Obidiegwu running down the side lines, #45 Talce Evans making defensive plays, and #22 Taylor Leota punishing those defenders going between the tackles. we got too many weapons coming back try and stop us. We’re taking league to make the streak 4 in a row.
