And having first team receivers McGovern or Shapiro is somehow a much tougher target for a QB to throw to than Taft or Sarmenta? Poor analogy. The only bad stretch for Reil all year was the NCS finals last week at the Coliseum where he had two poor plays in the 2nd quarter leading to 2 DLS scores, and the all EBAL teams are chosen prior to the playoffs. Obviously he didn’t get selected for 1st team all EBAL, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have been deserving of it had he been selected. Just because no one outside of San Ramon (and some inside) had never heard of Reil prior to this season and Houston and Lockie came in highly touted should not be a factor in the selection process, but it appears it may have been.

For those saying Reil should have gotten first team clearly didn’t watch the games. He had the stats but he also had Taft and Sarmenta to catch his rather poorly thrown passes. Nonetheless he stood up to the plate and filled in pretty nicely for a person who’s never started a high school game before but I’d say 1st team would definitely be pushing it

Rumor is spreading on changes in EBAL. Does anyone know what teams will be in EBAL next year?

Once again there are a couple buffoons on here. How dare you washed up nobodies come on here and claim absurd and rude statements. There are so many wrong things posted on here, and I wish I could see all you guy’s sitting behind your screen talking trash about a high school student. If your points are accurate then get off your lazy butt and publically state it. The coaches have a better perspective than any of you, so don’t you even think about continuing this non sense stating that some players are overrated. Yes Dane Turner was a very good WR, but you have to be dumb in the head to say that he shines more tha McGovern. Bryce McGovern did not allow WR’s to have big games, and as a WR every game was a big game or him. Whoever said that Bryce can only handle the 2 yard receptions please never post on this site again. The kid broke more tackles and made something out of nothing more than any other receiver in EBAL. Yeah you’re right those two brothers (what’s their name’s again) are faster than McGovern. But quit babying them, there afraid of contact. Those coaches at ND have so much work to do, if they want those boys to be even on the scout team! You could throw McGovern in front of a train and he would get up and catch a 60 yard pass for a TD. That’s what he did, he was a playmaker and every single coach saw it. I hope some of you realize that you are on here trying to take a hard working athlete’s award and pride away from them.

Allstar Coach,

You remind me of that teacher in Charlie Brown cartoons: “Wah wah wah wah wah.” Lots of words and nothing meaningful said. But of course, you’re right and the EBAL coaches are dead wrong.

Allstar coach? Yeah, right. No legitimate “allstar coach” would write what you have written about a stellar athlete.

Change your handle or try to add value to the board next time.

Let me predict your response: “WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH!”

OK all i keep hearing is how MCGOVERN hits but db’s first job is to COVER PEOPLE AND HE HAS NO COVER SKILSS WHAT SO EVER!Name one WR he covered well.
As far as receiver he isnt eventhe best wr on his own team dane turner makes that offense go. And in the bay area please it isn’t even close the carter kid hands down is a better athlete and player than mcgovern. way more explosive and if there offense coordinator wasn’t an idiot he would’ve had 40tds this year instead of 30td 2yd completions are great but the name of the game is putting points on the board and carter can score from anywhere on the field

Josh a better hs player than George. Josh a hitter and in it every play. George afraid of contact….great athlete and hope that he can get bigger and absorb practice at ND let alone full contact. Shocked Joshed tagged along in a package deal.

You’re right about today, Big Joe.

When I was growing up, my across-the-street neighbor was a gentleman named Harry Brown. On December 7th, 1941, he was a Navy pilot stationed at Pearl Harbor.

Harry told me that the night before the attack, there was some sort of officer’s party, and he was still up and wearing his dress pants when the attack happened. He quickly put on a shirt and a pair of shoes,and tried to make it to his plane. But the main airfield, along with all of the planes. was in the process of being completely destroyed.

He knew of a remote airfield that the Japanese may have missed, so Harry and a fellow Navy pilot hopped into Harry’s car. A Japanese pilot saw them driving along the coast and tried several times to strafe them. The pilot could have gotten them easily from behind, but fortunately for Harry, he only shot at them from the side.

They made it unscathed to the surprisingly untouched airfield, and they both took off in separate planes. Harry shot down 2 Japanese planes during the attack, and he became an Ace pilot during the war by recording 8 kills.

Harry Brown was my neighbor, and he was a great man.

Allstar Coach, what are you the Twin’s PR Rep? Geez those kids run fast but head for the sidelines all day long! In addition, stop talking about passing league, it’s playoff time baby and your boys are home watching. All of us who were at passing league heard and saw what happened vs. Cal and what J said to a Coach (really?!)…

I thought McGovern and Sullas were both far the 2 best players for MV this season. I hope they both go on to play college ball at some level, as both were fearless competitors and fun to watch.
