Hey does Tech have a team? I havent seen a score for them yet.
September 18th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
Tech does have a team. They beat Hogan 21-0 today and also won last week.
September 18th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
i cant believe we lost to slz. Not sure about next week. Island02 please tell me we got the answers for next week.
September 19th, 2010 at 12:39 pm
In regards to Pittsburg’s loss to Monte vista…they seem to have a real tough time adjusting on defense to either the run or the pass….Lockie took advanage of this and made the Pirates pay even though the game was real close…..The game up coming against Berkeley should be a yard stick for the BVAL as Freedom stopped Berkeley 20-6….If Pittsburg struggles against Berkeley then they will have a tough time in league play…
September 19th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
Alameda 0-3! LMAO!
September 20th, 2010 at 5:25 am
Come on now ECULB! what do you mean does Tech have a team? Was that a trick question bro?
September 20th, 2010 at 10:12 am
Jet Fighter- Alameda High is 1-2. Shows how much you know which im guessing is little. ” LMAO ” aha, and tell me how was that loss on saturday? 42-13? Heard your team couldnt tackle. Be ready for the island bowl. thats a season itself.
September 20th, 2010 at 11:05 am
Hornets you guys are gonna get it bad. Your team sucks I said it all along. BLOWN OUT by BOD 46-0 at the half all players Ruckman, Harvell, McCleons quit in the 2nd quarter. BOD is a solid team at best. Definitely not upper echelon. You’re gonna play an upper echelon team on Friday.
September 20th, 2010 at 11:17 am
Like everyone has been saying all along about the Jets. They can’t hang with good teams that have more numbers. They ware down quickly and that what it sounds like Serra did. Will this series continue for years to come or just a 2 year deal?
September 20th, 2010 at 11:35 am
IN the paper they reported that Tenorio asked Walsh to continue the series. Walsh said thaty he would consider it but not committ to anything. He may feel like he has nothing to prove from playing the Jets.
September 20th, 2010 at 11:37 am
Hornet guy whos calln the offense this week? Rochlin what do you coach? I hear crickets from your biggest blogger island02. Tell rochlin to stop arguing with his oc its not like he could call the plays i doubt he knows them. The jets lost your right but u suckas loss to jacob wright. So slz must be better than encinal is what your sayin hornet guy?
September 20th, 2010 at 11:49 am
Quotes from the hornet’s fearless leader, Steve Rochlin, about Friday’s loss to SLZ…
“This is still the pre-season. What counts is the league”
“If you were there, you saw the way the game was officiated. That’s all I could say”
(http://alameda.patch.com/articles/football-alameda-falls-to-san-lorenzo-in-thrilling-shootout)
Be accountable! That loser is full of excuses… blaming officials and calling a non-league game pre-season… Every game counts… Get a clue! And I guess he’s hoping to sneak into the playoffs with that .500 league record again too.
September 20th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
With all the hype for the Island Bowl, this would be the last time Alameda would have a chance to upset the Jets. Isn’t Encinal closing next year, both schools combined 3000 plus students? Ya could be tackling your own teamate for next year? Hornets could be a dark horse!
September 20th, 2010 at 12:31 pm
Rochlin how can you win league when you cant beat slz at home? Lucky he gets to play de anza n richmond hercules doesnt look like a forsure win. I say they finish up 4-6. Berkeley n pinole will be blowouts.
September 20th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
From what i hear rochlin not happy with the o coordinator. I hear he called there former o coordinator to come help with play calling. We’ve got to play better san lorenzo was not good. I feel ruckman & cunngham are better than encinals top 2 guys. That will put us over the top.
September 20th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
my prediction for Alameda (1-2)
Encinal – Loss
De Anza – Win
Berkeley- Loss
Pinole – Win
Hercules – Win
Richmond – Win
El Cerrito -Win
Expected Finish (6-4) Playoffbound- Yes
September 20th, 2010 at 1:37 pm
yes i did see the former O coordinator at the game but hes a traitor and i dont see why rochlin would allow him to come back.
why would Rochlin bring back a former O coordinator when he already has one whose pretty good, Kemp Moyer, when he needs to bring back Reynolds and get that Defense going becausec i dont think Rochlin or Laboo know a whole lot bout Defense
September 20th, 2010 at 1:51 pm
Hello all,
Just to clear up a couple things, that was definitely a tough loss. I give Coach Wright credit, his kids came out and played hard and never gave in at any point, especially #81 the TE a very nice player, #1 WR, #9 QB, #77 two-way linemen and a few others as well. San Lorenzo did a good job and they head home with the win.
The main call that was unfair to the hard working kids in the program was the call on the late third quarter fumble by the San Lorenzo ball carrier. The refs said the whistle blew. It was a blatant fumble clearly 5 yards from the out of bounds. No knee or anything was close to being down and the fumble came out right when the player was hit, so no forward progress was in play. Anyone who wants to see the clip, I have the video and anyone who is an honest observer can see it was a bad call and a game changing call in that situation. That’s just a tough break though, all you can do is move forward.
As far as talking to the former OC, that hasn’t been done behind my back (I’m the current OC), we unfortunately lost our two top OL coaches right before the year for personal reasons unrelated to football. I have been the QB coach, but our line (which is young) needs some work and we hoped to bring in another coach to help with the QBs. It never hurts to have good people help coach.
As far as the Island Bowl, the Jets are a damn good team and we respect their skills and coaching. We will work hard to defend our home field, we know we face a worthy opponent.
Finally, the O’Dowd game was brutal, but we are passed that. I give Coach Nickerson credit, his kids never let up. Our starting ORT and SOLB got his leg broken in a tough manner right on our sideline early on. He’s a tough kid and will recover, but that was a very tough injury and it did effect some of our kids for the rest of the game. O’Dowd took full advantage and I credit them.
Just wanted to take a brief moment to clear up some of the various rumors and things I saw on the board when I checked it out today.
Take care to all, God bless and here’s to all the young men playing this sport staying injury free and learning many valuable life lessons.
GO HORNETS
September 20th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
i do give u credit for that funble from what i saw it was indeed a fumble and the refs messed that up
and as far as bringing in the former o cordinator i disagree with that because hes a traitor to his team and that hurts the hornets foundation. an di thought rochlin was the O line coach? didnt he go to berkeley an dplay o line for them there? so shouldnt he know a thing or two about the O line?
and whose calling the defense kemp? i feel like that is an area that needs attention bc that 9 min drive in the 4th quarter couldnt be stopped. and it was a toss after toss after toss and u guys couldnt adjust.
could u tell me what happened to the defenseive calls during that last drive that ended in a TD to San Lorenzo’s TE #81
September 20th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
well kemp what position does rochlin teach on offense? i see alot of coaches on your sidelines your gonna tell me you had to get a guy who wasnt even on the staff to coach. what do the other guys do?
September 20th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
i think some of those guys were the jv coaches but they do lack a o line coach especially if rochlin is coaching them.
rochlin is a poor excuse for a coach and so is larue none of them know anything about anything. i heard rochlin doesnt even coach anything and kemp does all the coaching and rochlin does all the paper work.
and when u put larue and rochlin together to coach the defense? talk about sorry
those kids dont deserve this
rochlin didnt even try to get reynolds back and it was partly his fault for him leaving
it sure does seem like alameda misses him now
September 20th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
rochlin has the title of d coordinator but coach l calls it on game days. as for game planning kemp would know more about how much influence rochlin has.
September 20th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
early prediction jets 34 ahs 6
September 20th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
coaching at alameda is terrrrribbblllleeee!!! kemp should be top dog. Rochlin is pretty much an AD and does what he can to keep ineligible players on the field. he cant even control his players. laroo is a terrible line coach(was fired from encinal his alma mater for being so terrible) and headed over to alameda. coach cunningham looks out only for his own son and we see how well thats been going in the recent weeks… lol… feel sorry for the talent on that team (they shoulda crossed the island if they wanted to win games). my prediction is 42-9 jets get a 4th straight win.
September 20th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
if its true there will be one high school in alameda coach t has to be given a shot. He’s done a good job with limited numbers. Rochlin has done nothing in his time with the hornets. No playoff wins his best win in his tenure is a win over a weak pinole team in 09.
September 20th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Reynolds left because there was no discipline plus harvells dad made him tapout. He basically chose the kid over the coach. Does anyone know what position rochlin coaches?island02 please chime in an let us know. Kemp slz is terrible 228 yds total offense against that defense. They are not playoff caliber team whats gonna happen when you play real teams. This could be another season like 08.
September 20th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
SLZ will make the play-offs this year in a 16 team field only obstacle would be them meeting the minimum eligibility which if they can’t do that is pathetic.
September 20th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
I don’t think that Alameda will beat Pinole this year. EC is a toss up gotta see where each team is at that time of the year.
September 20th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
SLZ ain’t making the playoffs. We will put 50 on them. O’Dowd beat Alameda 59-10 & SLZ went to the last minut with their weak ass team. PERKIN you must be drunk if you think SLZ is good.
Everybody knows by now that 2010 is the
Year of the Don.
September 20th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
don juan why do u think slz wont make the playoffs?
they just beat alameda which is a D2 team so that puts them ahead and they have a good shot at making it this year especially since they got screwed out of it last year
September 21st, 2010 at 9:07 am
kemp how will ur team prepare for encinal this week?
with alot of seniors gone who couldnt beat them last year, what are the chances that this years team will do it?
if theres one way ur gonna beat them, its gonna be thru the air. last year u guys rallied through the air with ur receiver #4 but it was all too late. this year start it earlier and run later. encinal cant cover pass and ur deep threat air package is made for it. spread all game force them to react to ur air passing and then run on them
be honest u dont have much of a chance so hey why not go with the pass first philosophy. if it doesnt work u guys prolly werent gonna win anyways and if it does then hey u guys win.
September 21st, 2010 at 9:20 am
They’re 2-0 against D-II all they should beat Tennyson, Mt. Eden, probably Castro Valley, Moreau that would make them 6-4 assuming that Arroyo, Hayward, SL, BOD beat them. 3-2 against D-II team shoud be good enough to get them in a watered down 16 team field.
September 21st, 2010 at 9:24 am
Don Juan, You guys over at Arroyo sure are cocky! You guys better back all that talk you do on these blogs up or else you’re just asking for it. You guys talk on here like you already won the HAAL title and can’t be stopped.
September 21st, 2010 at 7:57 pm
ManDown, We are the best team in the HAAL. Who’s better? SL? BOD? Both of them are losers. We should have beat Logan. Logan routed SL. They ain’ the same ol’ pirates now are they? The “good” crusaders are wearing red & black. We will win the league & then you will buy a Don T-Shirt that says: 2010 HAAL champions. Get on board while there is still room.
September 21st, 2010 at 8:12 pm
Cant wait 4 bod arroyo showdown. Arroyo better win or ur league title dreams r gone. If ur lucky enough 2 win this crap league remind ur coach that it doesnt make him a section champion he’s got to go 2 a real section playoff not a bunch of rematches or play a 2-8 team n da 1st round.
September 21st, 2010 at 8:22 pm
don juan u sure talk alot for being the laughing stock of the haal for the past years i hope u prove it this year
September 21st, 2010 at 8:54 pm
You calling us the laughing stock of the HAAL? SLZ is trash. SLZ almost lost to all the garbage teams in our league last year. Don’t ever mention them weak ass rebels in comparison to the DONS. This year’s score Arroyo 44 SLZ 6.
September 21st, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Don Juan, you’re coach needs to be reprimanded for all of the trash talking he does on here and the trash talking he promotes. I can’t wait til we play the self-proclaimed 2010 League champions. Our Rebels will make you eat your words.
September 21st, 2010 at 10:06 pm
DonJuan, I think your team is good but don’t take it over board. BOD and Hayward will give you a run for your money.
September 22nd, 2010 at 12:01 pm
DonJuan San Lorenzo got screwed out of the playoffs last year and just beat last years 12th seed alameda team which would probably beat the so called dons as well.
now ur saying that arroyo could beat san lorenzo? and not only beat them but kill them 44 to 6?
whose gonna stop #1?
or #81?
those two players alone could handle the dons
#1 makes all the right reads from safety and 81 brings the pressure if #1 studies hsi film he could call ur plays out easy and u kno u have no pass coverage so how u gonna stop the arial attack?
i think u need to stop talking crap on here and get realistic
September 22nd, 2010 at 12:18 pm

September 22nd, 2010 at 2:30 pm
island02 how’s practice? what vibe are you getting? san lorenzo had good size it was a tough game encinal would have trouble with them. were bigger than encinal so i feel we’ll be able to run. if cunningham gets loose they won’t catch him.
September 22nd, 2010 at 2:37 pm
island02 where you hidin at? you still comparing this team to the 07 team? more like 08! de anza next week coach you gotta luv it!
September 22nd, 2010 at 7:52 pm
I don’t know much about the Hornets this year, but to say that their top 2 RBs are better than The Jets top 2 is a joke. The Jets have a flurry of backs who can hide behind that OL until it’s too late and they’re gone! The speed of their backfield, not just running, but the action and misdirection in the backfield cannot be duplicated at practice. The offense looks like they really know what they are doing…they look well drilled and the ball handling is quick. I think the Alameda DL will get manhandled at the line of scrimmage. The Jets are small, but this week that will not be exploited. By the way…the new rumor is that THE high school on the island will be at the West End, so who knows what’s gonna happen???
September 22nd, 2010 at 7:55 pm
Also,if the Hornets try to pass, it better be with a short drop because the Jets will be firing with their little, quick LBs. There won’t be much time to throw.
September 22nd, 2010 at 8:41 pm
The petitions are in Marin Catholic & Cardinal Newman are officially going D-III this year! D-III is freaking loaded. Way stronger then D-II which is so so-so I can’t even tell who the favorites are since Washington fell off. Whoever wins D-III has a strong case to represent in State. Its a long way away but I can’t wait to see how it unfolds.
September 22nd, 2010 at 9:12 pm
Besides ccs open divison d3 ncs will b da most interesting. D1 is all bout who gets 2 play de la n lose. D2 will probably field sub.500 teams. D4 who cares i no i dont!
September 22nd, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Alamedas top 2 better than Encinals top 2???????? ARE U DRUNK!?!?!?!?!??!?! No way in hell Ruck and Cunningham is better than Allen and Okamora.
Reason number 1 – Okamora’s speed kills on both sides of the ball and no Alameda player can catch him and Jonathan Allen is also very quick through the holes.
Reason number 2 – Jonathan Allen had 5 TD’s in his first game this season and Okamora also added a TD.
Reason number 3 – They were on the 2008 UNDEFEATED team and have a lot more experience against better teams, and followed the footsteps of D1 athletes.
Encinal wins the Big Game by far. More experience, speed, and heart takes the jets to 4 straight Island Bowl wins.
September 22nd, 2010 at 10:16 pm
PERKIN that would be Cardinal Newman , Marin Catholic and Eureka the road to Carson starts in the Northbay. There is no Div III Eastbay team that can beat 2 of those 3 period end of story. O’dowd , Alahambra and Encinal had there chance the North will own Div III for years to come if these teams stay and eith the new rules there is no reason to leave.
September 22nd, 2010 at 10:32 pm
Bleachercoach even you no novatos not in the conversation u didnt mention them.stop claiming the north your an eastbay reject. novato this novato that now try n claim marin cardnal newman get lost. talk bout novato or shut up yarry!
September 23rd, 2010 at 2:49 am
SLZ didn’t get robbed last year. They didn’t amke the playoffs b/c they didn’t beat anybody and struggled against bad teams. Check out maxpreps.com from last year.
http://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/om2Fv7PjtEqkazlgbjC7Rg/san-lorenzo-rebels/football-fall-09/schedule.htm
I don’t EVER want to hear that SLZ got robbed last year & that Wright is a good coach.
SLZ losses:
Hayward 20 to 35
Alameda 0 to 20
Mt.Diablo 23-30
San Leandro 7 -49
They didnt beat any good teams!
SLZ wins:
Moreau 12 to 7!!!!, Moreau sucked last year!!!!
Castro Valley 27 to 14!! CV lost 8 games!!!
Tennyson 8 to 7!!!!!!!!!!! WTF?!?!?!?! Tennyson?
Mt.Eden 19-12!!! Mt.Eden only won 1 game last year!!?!!
BOD 26-21, A 4-6 D-III team,upset cost Perenon his job
Arroyo 20-14, Bad coaching, we finished 3-7.
SO EVERYONE NEEDS TO SHUT UP ABOUT SLZ being any good.
They lost to all of the winning teams on their schedule and won close games against the losing teams from the East bay.
2010 Year of the Dons.
I guarantee that Wright will beggin the refs to run the clock by halftime. Arroyo 63 SLZ 6.
September 23rd, 2010 at 5:53 am
Don Juan
dont u have newark this week SON stay focused.
Hayward 20 to 35
Alameda 0 to 20
Mt.Diablo 23-30
San Leandro 7 -49
Giants DONT IDENTIFY WITH ANTS
a new DON is coming
let them taste the morning DEW
then slap the taste out thier mouth
September 23rd, 2010 at 8:54 am
What happened at that charter school in San Lorenzo? I hear SLUSD is cracking down on a full Arroyo high school with at least 10 players going to that dumbass art charter school? Somebody chime in…
September 23rd, 2010 at 11:40 am
Yea the problem is that there are kids living in arroyo area and going to east bay arts to play sport at SLZ and some live in SLZ area and go to arroyo to play a sport.
Don Juan stop specking for my program and let are play do the talkin !!!
don pride!!!
September 23rd, 2010 at 1:15 pm
damn did the athletic director screw things up or was it deeper than that?
September 23rd, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Well it states that a kid that lives in the district and go to east bay has a choice to play at AHS or SLZ. But I think there some good players out there on each team in other sports so now coaches are starting to question. This has nothing to do with football but more with the other sports. Volleyball, Tennis,
don pride !!!
September 23rd, 2010 at 9:28 pm
Coach, I’m just lettin all these haters know what’s up. I’m a let my pads do the most talkin. But just so everybody knows. We ain’t losing again. MVAL’s 3rd fiddle will get beasted. Arroyo 42 Newark 6.
We got this coach.
2010 Year of the Dons.
September 26th, 2010 at 9:07 am
Who’s the fool telling ManDown to pick up the trash at the zoo because MV whipped Hayward? So he missed a pick, he’s got a lot more knowledge than this fool.
There’s nothing in Hayward except Moreau, Hayward is still the heroin capital of the world-get a fix fool.
