No the game isn’t always on the 26th. It’s always on the Saturday after the state championships. But obviously this past Saturday was Christmas so we got the CIF blessing to move it to Sunday. That was just a coincidence on the 26th. But i can easily see how east Bay fans think that way. I thought the crowd was ok given it was Sunday, the weather was blah and it was a day after Christmas.

The game is up at http://www.wannaplaycollegesports.com Click on the allstar link and go do something else for ten minutes. Its high resolution so it takes time to load. Put your computer on full screen and it looks very nice.

Wow- Servite had 8 players make all Orange County, 5 on defense. Guess those De La Salle offensive lineman that aren’t very good must have caught Servite on a night off. East Bay Coach, go to the doghouse and DO NOT pass GO and collect $ 200. Your running back selection had less than 100 yds. in 4 games against that De La defense in 2 years- that’s 25 yds. per game.

The last one standing speaks for itself. 11 on the 3 teams.

It’s sure going to look great with all those selections from Ben and Jimmie in the paper. That’s all that counts- season over.

we got worked. our o-line was getting clowned. how are we bigger than them and still didnt slow them down?? can we pass protect? i still think other players were left out that shouldve went and couldve blocked those islanders from Grant. what a waste of my time. we shouldve had more kids from concord to help ricky. i was embarrassed. we shouldve had more kids who play our offense.

at least we get to host next year…different results.

Regarding the Holiday Classic several issues first the Sac D-line had a number of kids (Grant) that were huge (Lopa,Moala,Sau)but the biggest issue was Hamilton’s game plan – he didn’t try to establish any ground game and sent the message that he was going to let Ricky’s arm win the game. Once Sac adjusted to that and started blitzing every down it was a jail break every play. The biggest guys on the East Bay O-line weren’t as strong or as technically sound as they needed to be to win those battles (interestingly he moved his biggest tackles to the guard position)and for any LLoyd-haters the kid is the real deal and a solid leader (Pac 10 you missed out). In addition, you saw an amazing variety of football intelligence and discipline from palyer to player based on the program they were representing.
