Killer D
VERY good post about Lady Luck…..should go into the posters’ Hall of Fame for prep football prose. You even managed to use a word “score” that hasn’t been used since Lincoln’s Gettysburg address. All in all a post for the ages.

Now the bad news. Ran into your Lady Luck at Costco yesterday and she had her cart loaded with holiday goodies. Said she would only be able to attend Friday’s game. She said she had other commitments on Saturday, something about having to attend a company, holiday function with her husband Wishbone Willy. She said the boys will just have to kick the balls and they’ll land where they land.

Looking forward to a great 4 quarters of NorCal Ball.

Killer D,

Who do you like / what’s your score prediction in the Div IV final? It sucks my ‘Hounds are out of it (though they’re only graduating a few seniors), but I’m gonna root on the Mustangs of Middletown..

The Cal Boys are focusing on the job at hand and staying close to each other to make sure no one drifts. This game has taken the sense of family to a new level with the kids (nice to see)and Coach B has done a nice job with these players in his 2nd year they are truly his team, good luck and GATA Grizz!!
See you Saturday…

One would have to admit having a big, strong and well coached team like CAL to play DLS in the Title Game makes it very interesting and more fun, especially given the fact they played a close game already this year.

By the way is the Dublin job open?

I didn’t say Coach Lad, staff and team were looking ahead. I said it was “the DLS families and fans have been busy scheduling their flights and hotel reservations for Carson, and trying to figure out who they might be playing.”

Is there a hotel reservation with coach Lad’s name on it? Most likely. But I meant that Lady Luck might spill a little dust Cal’s way since they are not expecting or expected to win. The Grizz will try like hell, but DLS is expected to win. Should Cal pull off the monumental upset, that would make it that much sweeter of a victory.

Prep Fan Dream On. You can bet Cal is ALL Coach Lad, staff and team are focusing on. Time to worry about Carson after Saturday afternoon.

Go Grizz! And a little Lucky Dust wouldn’t hurt either.

Both teams are preparing diligently for Satuday night’s battle. That is all Cal High is focusing on. But the DLS families and fans have been busy scheduling their flights and hotel reservations for Carson, and trying to figure out who they might be playing. They know the ropes and do not want to be left out if they should win their 19th consecutive section title.

Hopefully, that little bit of lack of focus on the present will tip Lady Luck’s hand and cause her to spill a little more dust the Grizz’s way.

I was at that ’91 game too. Last L before the Streak, last NCS loss… I was 7 years old and pops took me to see these two talented teams battle it out on a cold, foggy night in the Coliseum. Fell in love with the game that night, started playing pop warner the next fall, and now its been 20 years involved in the game.

Good luck to all the East Bay teams this weekend! DLS/CAL, Concord, Encinal and Salesian!
