30Q-2-KICKOFF (No. 25): Will title stay in the Den?
By Jimmy Durkin
Friday, August 26th, 2011 at 10:00 am in 30 Questions to Kickoff, East Bay Football.
Let’s take a look at the Hayward Area Athletic League today.
Bishop O’Dowd won its first title since 1999 last year and appears the team to beat again this year. Hardy Nickerson Jr. leads the defense and should also pick up some carries. QB Dominic Miroglio is still only a junior and a very capable signal caller. T.J. Daniel is a very good TE/DL. We’ve discussed the Dragons enough I think. I’m picking them as the favorite.
Who is the next team though?
San Leandro has always been near the top, but will they stay there. They’ve lost first-team All-HAAL running back Harold Halcomb, but Andre McBride — a star on the track as well after he won the NCS Meet of Champions in the 100 meters and was an All-East Bay pick in that event — is back. He’ll be a WR/KR and DB that should be explosive. He’s definitely got speed.
Arroyo’s signature win in James Barnes’ second year was the victory over the Pirates. It allowed the Dons to tie for second place in the HAAL at 5-2 and is probably the reason the team made the playoffs. Jordan Fogal and Michael Young return for Barnes in year two and they will lead the offense. They should have a shot to do well in league again.
After that, it’s anyone’s guess. Castro Valley was a Division I playoff team last year, but it finished 4-7. The Trojans were 4-3 in the HAAL, so they handled their own in league.
Hayward has new coach Justin Redemer. The Farmers usually are high on athletes, so if Redemer can get them headed in the right direction, Hayward is always a team with potential. We should know early if they have a shot to be good as they open with Central Catholic and Encinal.
Tennyson made its first trip to the NCS playoffs in school history last year. The Lancers finished 4-7, but that elusive playoff berth was pretty big. The team has 16 seniors so they’ll look to build on the success. QB Pablo Magallanes and WR Alson Paston Jr. should be a solid combo.
San Lorenzo returns QB Brandin Murphy and RB Christian Batiste and that should help their offense find some success after a 3-6-1 season last year. Mt. Eden enters year 2 with Paul Perenon and Ron Thompson as co-coaches and will look to improve after a rough 0-10 season that included a forfeit against Bishop O’Dowd due to a lack of players.

Tennyson looks good .
I saw Arroyo this year and Tennyson is way ahead of them. But I feel Arroyo will make a run for the title !!
August 26th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
pirates bounce back and retake their spot at the top where they belong
August 26th, 2011 at 1:07 pm
Pirate Football,
I’ll be at the Pirate house tonight! Looking forward to some good football!
August 26th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
u wouldnt know if tennyson was gonna b any good by da way terry schedules. Step it up buddy!
August 26th, 2011 at 2:39 pm
League should be balanced.
1. Tennyson
2. San Leandro
3. O’ Dowd
4. Castro
5. Arroyo
6. Hayward
7. SLZ
8. Mt. Eden
August 26th, 2011 at 7:30 pm
Sheesh, Tennyson you can’t be serious? This is worse then the Moreau guys talking bout winning league. Has Tenyson ever finshed better then 4th or 5th EVER?? WHat are you basing this on? Summer camps? WHat??
August 26th, 2011 at 7:46 pm
1.Arroyo
2.O’Dowd
3.Hayward
4.Tennyson
5.San Leandro
6.San Lorenzo
7.Castro Vally
8.Mt Eden.
August 26th, 2011 at 8:19 pm
Tennyson doesnt win league.. but theyll be competitive.
They win their non league games.. lose to O’Dowd and SL.
They beat Mt. Eden, SLZ, Hayward.
Castro, Arroyo and Tennyson are about in the same boat and i think tennyson takes at least 1/2 of those.
Tennyson goes 7-3.
O Dowd wins league
SL goes 6-4 (6-1)
Tennyson 7-3 (4-3)
Castro Valley 5-5 (4-3)
Arroyo 4-6 (3-4)
Hayward 5-6 (2-5) 11 games?
Mt. Eden 4-6 (1-6)
SLZ 2-8 (0-7)
August 26th, 2011 at 8:55 pm
Liberty was beating up arroyo in the preseason
August 26th, 2011 at 9:04 pm
Watched some the highlights from the summer camp on youtube and if Tennyson is the second or third best team in the league then the HAAL is terrible. Im not impressed at all. I don’t know what league is worse HAAL or the ACCAL.
August 26th, 2011 at 9:14 pm
1.) BOD – Nobody in this leagues beats this team in ’11.
2.) San Leandro – I think they will rebound from last year and give BOD all they can handle when the two teams play.
3.) Arroyo – Graduated key players from last years team but they’re on the upswing. Could surprise and take second place.
4.) Hayward – Should be finishing in the top 2 every year with the athletes they get. We kind of have to wait and see with the farmers.
5.) Tennyson – They had one of the best seasons in school history last year so lets see what they do with that in ’11
6.) Mt. Eden – Peranon will have them competing this year.
7.) Castro Valley – Running the wrong system for the type of team they have. May finish high depending what teams 5 and 6 do
8.) San Lorenzo – HC Wright has to be one of the worst coaches around. He’s the reason why they are so bad. They need a HC change bad!
August 26th, 2011 at 10:08 pm
Im curious to see how hayward looks. Yes they have the athletes, but I heard some players left and transfered to other schools. Plus its a new coach with a new offense. Nobody knows what hayward really have up on the hill
August 26th, 2011 at 11:26 pm
i heard hayward running same o as last year. Odowd wins this league arroyo san leandro hayward castro valley tennyson slz mt.eden in that order. Didnt they let jacob wright coach an all star team who made that decision should be commited!
August 27th, 2011 at 12:39 am
btw i was looking at Tennyson’s Roster… seems like you spelled Alson Paxton’s name incorrectly.
August 27th, 2011 at 3:42 am
Arroyo is not that great when i saw they.. they got man handled by the team that was in last place in the BVAL
August 27th, 2011 at 5:30 pm
Tennyson been rollin over weak teams in the summer. Schools like Kennedy-Fremont, Dougherty Valley, & American are not quality programs. Tennyson is overmatched against the bigger schools. They will never come close to a SL, Hayward or Bishop. They look like a 5-5 team to me. But for Tennyson that’s equal to winning a state championship.
August 27th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
HAAL Predictions
1. Bishop O’Dowd, 7-3(7-0): Pops & Jr. win it all.
2. San Leandro,6-4(6-1): Bishop has too much D.
3. Arroyo,6-4,(5-2): Lead the NCS in transfers.
4. Hayward,6-4(4-3): Players overcome coaching.
5. Tennyson,5-5(3-4): The best of the worst.
6. Castro Valley,2-8(2-5):When does basketball start?
7. San Lorenzo 2-8,(1-6): At least they play Mt.Eden.
8. Mt.Eden 2-8,(0-7): Non-League pretenders.
August 27th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
1)San Leandro/Bishop O’Dowd: final game should be for title
3)Arroyo: Barnes has mysteriously uncovered a large amount of athletes at Arroyo. They just need to be consitant.
4)Castro Valley: should build on end of the year success if non league doesnt discourage them.
4)Tennyson: same as cv if weak non league doesnt build their ego to much
4)Mt Eden: been told they went toe to toe with encinal for 3 days straight during summer camp. Year 2 of Thompson/Perenon should be interesting
7)San Lorenzo: lost some good talent last yr.
8)Hayward: a lot of talent as usual. been told Redemer is getting similar welcome that Thompson/Perenon got from Mt Eden last season
August 27th, 2011 at 10:41 pm
Arroyo is winning leauge they have.too many good athletes to.go 4-6 michesl young.jordan fogal justin etc nd there jv last year was pretty good too
August 28th, 2011 at 2:02 am
Bval Arroyo was missing a lot of players at that camp and key players on the o-line because Arroyo was in the CCC camp the day before so a lot of JV players played against your last place BVAL team. . But yes they did put hands on Arroyo.
August 28th, 2011 at 10:43 am
HAAL FAN: hayward had more talent last season and couldnt put it together for a coach they actually respected. what crazy juice makes you think that less talent will do better this season. and coaching is very important in youth sports.
August 28th, 2011 at 11:28 am
Arroyo got beat up by American this past weekend during the scrimmage. I dont see them second in league.
August 28th, 2011 at 11:47 am
HAAL CO/2000, are you loaded or something. Pills run out? Tennyson will never ever be able to go toe to toe with Encinal. They may have camped together, I guess, but toe to toe. NEVER! Tenneyson has improved in a city of Hayward kind of way.
August 28th, 2011 at 12:31 pm
Lol Arroyo has two players transferred in all the rest of the player are all Arroyo kids it just took a new coach to bring them out. The two kids that came over are 10 th graders and they will be playing a back up roll to a loaded backfield. So get ur facts right..
U need to check them other HAAL team rosters and u will discover the truth wink wink wink..
Also Arroyo got beat up last year in the scrimmage and ran off six in a roll and losing to Logan by two. Scrimmages don’t mean anything it’s just a good time to see ur back up play and a few snaps for ur start. It’s overrated!!!
August 28th, 2011 at 1:36 pm
I agree that scrimmages are jus scrimmages & aren’t real games. Definitely still an evaluation time but how did your number ones look? If the 1′s looked average then you 2′s got beat up then you can’t be happy about that. Especially when the teams are American & Northgate.
August 28th, 2011 at 2:17 pm
watch out for mt eden. perenon/thompson have the monarchs headed in the right direction. 6-4 team
August 28th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
@ Dons / 2011
Arroyo ran off 5 in a row last year ,against combined record of 18-35-1. Along with a good win against a 6-5 San Leandro team, 4-7 Tennyson took them to overtime during that win streak. They lost to Logan by 3. Didn’t they leave the Antioch camp a day early? Not sure if that’s a team that “will make a run for the title !!”
August 28th, 2011 at 6:40 pm
@Ballboy,
You present a good point. However before arroyos win streak last year, they lost year of their games due to an undisciplined special teams. I watch all of the loses. Each contains punt and kick returns. Their offense and defense were pretty solid. If Arroyo is able to correct their special teams problem that they had last year, the may the team that “will make a run for the title !!”
August 28th, 2011 at 6:41 pm
Same ol’ Williams: your right Tennyson probably couldnt go toe to toe with Encinal this past summer. but i said Mt Eden. and when the season starts and the games count that might not mean anything but i hope it built some confidence for those kids. it would be good for the league as a whole if the lower tier teams could win some games out of league.
Don / 2011: losing by 2 to Logan in a game Arroyo shouldve won is not bad. but losing to Hayward by 40+ in a game where the score was closer than the game is why i say they need to become consistant. 2nd place is not a far stretch but with the ? of consistant play yet to be answered i say 3rd place and an upper half D2 NCS seed
August 28th, 2011 at 7:12 pm
Inconsistency is a sign of lack of preparation.
August 28th, 2011 at 7:58 pm
U guys make good points so will see if Arroyo correct those mistakes this year.
But for the camps come on three other teams called out also so Arroyo wasn’t the only one three days of full contact is a lot and I think Arroyo numbers couldn’t handle that. And for the record the 1 s gave up nor Td because fs fell down. Five sacks vs Northgate and more negative plays the positive and American fumble three times so if this was a game the out come would be diff. Arroyo scored three times on Nortgate and drove to thevred zone twice against American but Coach Jb call time so the other teams could play..
August 28th, 2011 at 8:13 pm
The HAAL is a quixotic league this year, but of all certainties in the ocean of iffiness residing in the HAAL in 2011, the one iron clad fact is this,
Mt. Eden will win at least 4 games and maybe as many as 6 this year.
5-5 looks promising
August 28th, 2011 at 8:16 pm
well they should EASILY start out 3-0
Terra Linda, Richmond, and Capuchino all finish dead last in this league this year.
August 28th, 2011 at 10:21 pm
KillerD: that would be amazing. considering mt eden has only 4 wins in the last 3 yrs.
August 28th, 2011 at 10:22 pm
Arroyos special teams is what killed them last year big.plays.on special teams american wasnt good at alll, the 2s played half scrimmage against them nd thats wen they scored arroyo.was.the first and last to.score at the scrimmage with a 5 RB rotation nd 2 defensive.groups
August 28th, 2011 at 10:23 pm
has anybody heard anything about how the league did this weekend at scrimages
August 28th, 2011 at 10:53 pm
ARROYO THIS ARROYO THAT
ITS SEEMS LIKE THE WHOLE HAAL IS SCARED OF COACH JB AND HIS DONS. ARROYO IS THE TALK OF THE LEAGUE HUH?
WHEN ARROYO BEAT JAMES LOGAN THIS COMING FRIDAY I DONT WANNA HEARD NOTHING ABOUT ARROYO.
August 29th, 2011 at 9:15 am
Can anyone elaborate on San Leandro star 1,000 yd running back Harold Halcomb leaving and going to McClymonds ? Man what a HUGE LOSS FOR SLH…
August 29th, 2011 at 9:45 am
i guess mack wasnt over the salary cap another transfer huh? did this kid family decide 2 move from san leandro to da west? wats da rule in da oal for transfers will he have 2 b approved by da league commisioner or its the wild wild west no rules!?
August 29th, 2011 at 9:45 am
Yes and 2 other players left for the Mac house and a couple few left for other schools ..
August 29th, 2011 at 9:54 am
What’s going on down at SL? Is it Bowers?
August 29th, 2011 at 10:36 am
San Leandro really didn’t look to bad at the scrimmage Friday at Las Lomas. Didn’t see McBride out there, but he is a strong kid with blazing speed. They actually looked better the Concord who I was expecting more from. Las Lomas was running circles on both C & SL with out their starting RB
Arroyo on Saturday hands down stuffed American and Northgate. Arroyo’s starting defense did their coach proud. American’s OL was awful. Their QB was a gamer but woke up Sunday mighty sore. North gate sat 5 impact starters so, jury still out on them
Logan was the surprise Friday night. Held their own scrimmaging with the Big Boy Players I’d say they will run over, up, and around Arroyo.
August 29th, 2011 at 11:15 am
Brad Bowers been crying for 2 months after he lost Harold Halcomb and they WR Isaiah Walters to Mack
August 29th, 2011 at 11:37 am
Wow,both of those SLH kids come from the 2008 #1 State ranked Crusader Midgets, as does Arroyo starts…Michael Young, Jordan Fogel,Justin Porter and Encinal star
Kaniela Kahuuanui,they had squad that year.
Do the Oakland schools have a shot for NCS playoffs or are they stuck in the OAL “Silver Bowl” ?
August 29th, 2011 at 11:40 am
Has bowers won a playoff game yet? Wit barnes at arroyo nickerson at bod now losing players 2 da oal bowers days seem numbered.
August 29th, 2011 at 12:59 pm
I see why Harold and Isaish left san leandro to go to MACK HOUSE , Brad Bowers dont send his players to College. he just worry about his league titles thats it he has more league titles then players he send out to college .
September 3rd, 2011 at 8:23 pm
Logan 41 Arroyo 0. Now STFU
September 3rd, 2011 at 10:31 pm
Arroyo= O…VER….RATED…!!
Tennyson…how bout playing a real team.
Castro Valley= sleeper
Hayward= rebuild
SLZ= non factor
Odowd= young team with overrated coaches son
Mt Eden= back 2 reality
S. Leandro= could be back on top once again
September 4th, 2011 at 9:50 am
There are some bad role models out there on our sidelines. Yelling is not coaching. Someone from admin needs to assess what’s really going on out there and clean up our program.
September 5th, 2011 at 7:42 pm
Truth be told
Jacob Wright’s offensive playbook was stolen from the crusader mighty mites.
September 5th, 2011 at 7:53 pm
Truth be told
Hardy Nickerson jr. is the most overated player in the East Bay.
September 5th, 2011 at 8:05 pm
jacob wright every off season will tell how good his team is gonna b den season starts nutn changed there terrible as usual den all his excuses come wat a loser! Terry smith n montgomery from hercules take da cake asfar as scheduling cupcakes these guys really think theyll make ncs please da committee will c past those hollow wins!
September 5th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
I hear you bill, they should be like your boy Barnes and recruit, and still get smashed on.
September 5th, 2011 at 8:34 pm
Truth Be told
JB doesn’t know offense, defense or special teams. Logan 41 Arroyo 0
September 5th, 2011 at 8:39 pm
Truth be told
The whole HAAL is wearing a kick my face in dress.
September 5th, 2011 at 8:40 pm
I heard Arroyo lost quite a few kids to grades or not getting cleared right before the 1st game a la Fremont High. Only had like 14 or 15 on JVs. Also heard a few coaches were dismissed from the staff for some reasons.
September 5th, 2011 at 9:28 pm
Truth be told show u right bout nickerson i still cant believe he was top 25 as a junior. Teehee atleast barnes is playing a team dat can chew n walk at the same time but he’s got 2 get his paperwork n order wats he think he’s still n da oal.
September 5th, 2011 at 10:05 pm
Does Nickerson go both ways?
September 5th, 2011 at 10:06 pm
Truth be told
Smith and Montgomery always schedule a cupcake to open. Maybe it’s a good way to prepare for the weakest leagues in the ncs. LMAO.
September 5th, 2011 at 10:51 pm
lets be honest here.. hardy Nickerson jr is a good player here.. i don’t know why he is getting bashed THAT hard, BUt to me he is NOT an top 25 player as a jr or maybe even in the entire bay area
September 5th, 2011 at 11:13 pm
“Teehee atleast barnes is playing a team dat can chew n walk at the same time but he’s got 2 get his paperwork n order wats he think he’s still n da oal.”
Well if he had a coaching staff that could ‘chew and walk at the same time’ he wouldnt need to fill out paperwork because he wouldnt need transfers.
Sorry, I just have no love for recruiting coaches. None.
September 5th, 2011 at 11:29 pm
Let me clarify something…. Our 25 to watch list is not a list of the top 25 players. It’s exactly what it says it is…25 to watch. It’s 25 players that we feel are worth watching out for. In that regard, being the son of an NFL Pro Bowler in itself makes Nickerson worth watching. But he also has the talent to back it up. He played very well in the Franklin game. Was all over the field making tackles. And yes, he goes both ways. He also plays fullback. He’s No. 10 and you can see him making a catch if you watch the video of that game I posted. He also is the person who made the catch on the two-point conversion in the fourth quarter but was stopped at the goal line.
September 6th, 2011 at 1:30 am
1) Teehee for the last time I have three transfers that’s it I don’t have any body else on my roster that came from another school. So get your fact right Burks and Gant are no longer at Arroyo.
Two came from schools with a Gpa under 2.0 and in the HAAL they will miss the 2011 season and one paper is on hold because of legal problems. I never new these kids before that date.. So your trying to make me sound like I am recruiting and I am not . Check my 2) Castlemont teams no recruiting all my kids came from my area.
3) Now paper work was not the problem the problem with the JV team is there grades coming from middle school and the admin is refusing to sign waivers for them I can’t control grades at the middle schools and I back my Admin up so yes we have 21 on JV.
4) Also paper work was not the problem for my coaches is was the district office because they are close for the summer so some of my coaches had to wait for there background to clear my bad 2 of my coaches the rest already cleared. One coach was dismissed because of he didn’t pass DOJ.
5) Arroyo dad u seem to have a lot to say so don’t hide behind the name and bring your comments to my parent meeting Thursday 6:00pm /S-17.
September 6th, 2011 at 11:29 pm
Truth Be Told.
If anybody really believes that JB don’t recruit. I can get Dave Chappelle to perform at your school’s halftime show for nuthin. That coach be all up in the San Leandro Crusaders.
September 6th, 2011 at 11:55 pm
lol thats funny i heard the same thing from crusader coaches themselves so i guess the truth is told
September 7th, 2011 at 1:32 am
You no what the problem is when I go to Crusaders practice I am recruiting but when SL hold there practice on the same field and Logan and Hayward coaches is walking through the Crusader practice talking to player its called something else funny.
I have been to one practice I don’t talk to anyone but three kids my own. My twins play Jr-pee-wee (The best players on the team) and my little one plays cadet. And it funny because there are four or more players on the Crusader Midgets that go to Arroyo and three transferred out to SL this year.
So once again get your facts right and if the Crusader coaches said I have been recruiting there kids they are lying and I will be glad to tell them face to face. Because they want high school kids to play to the age of 15 so there are kids on the Crusaders that are 10th graders playing Pop Warner that’s a joke when they should be playing for there high school making grades.
P.S At the end of the day I will go after my San Lorenzo kids and I will not let other high schools come to my backyard and steal my players !!! check the address of some of these player at other high school and if you want a list I can provide that also (SAN LORENZO address) …
September 7th, 2011 at 8:33 am
1. Congrats to Nickerson, Jr. for getting a full ride to Cal. That is outstanding news. People should not dis minors on this board, that is not cool at all.
2. Arroyo Recruiting & Coach Barnes: Are you KiDDING?
3. It is hard enough for a solid coach like Barnes to get his OWN kids out for football at Arroyo, let alone spend the time, energy and all else to RECRUIT kids to go to Arroyo. ARROYO!
4. My unsolicited advice to Coach Barnes: You have done a very good job at your previous coaching stops, and are working with hard fight at Arroyo. The Dons are lucky to have you, and most of the players and parents and your admin surely know that.
If I were you, I would NOT post on blogs, it lessens the legitimacy of your attained well earned position, and if you give voice to your critics, it brings you down in the mud with them.
Keep up the good fight, get those kids a high school degree and teach them life through football.
Your hard work is not going unnoticed.
September 7th, 2011 at 10:02 am
I have seen Arroyo’s team, I dont think there is a lot of recruiting going on there.
Hey JB, if the situation is getting funky at Arroyo the Berkeley job should be open soon.
September 7th, 2011 at 11:33 am
Nickerson played like a regular high school kid. Nothing special. He didn’t do anything to overwhelm Franklin. Good players change gameplans but Franklin did not even change he game plan. Hardy Nickerson Sr. Is not a qualified coach. Really? But because you have pro bowls it means what? Nothing losing to a Franklin team that they could have probably beaten. No technique and they were getting blown off the ball.
September 7th, 2011 at 11:57 am
B-High carrying a Frosh team this year or is that gone too?
September 7th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
perkin

September 7th, 2011 at 8:31 pm

September 7th, 2011 at 9:09 pm

September 7th, 2011 at 9:20 pm
Truth be Told
JB’s recruits could not get into Arroyo so they went back. Crusaders need to stay home and spend the rest of their high school days running it up on the Dons.
September 7th, 2011 at 9:25 pm
Truth be told
I don’t think the arroyo coach should be criticizing the crusader midget players for playing PAL. Why should he care if san Leandro kids are playing high school ball or not?

LMAO
September 7th, 2011 at 10:13 pm
Truth be told
SL sent way more players to the college ranks than arroyo.
San Lorenzo gets more kids out on football scholarships than JB AND THEY SUCK. Arroyo got nobody playin.
And is the Arroyo parent meeting goin to address Crusader recruiting? I’ll be at the SL game when they bank 40 on the scoreboard and the frosh qb takes a knee on your title hopes. SL 40 Arroyo 0.

haalplayer_08
u mustve went to arroyo are you still mad that u couldnt win against THE SAN LEANDRO PIRATES, sorry lil buddy get over it. i give jb his props, he is a good guy, but y are u so offended bout people saying he is trying to get crusaders, the teams that SL have go to the championship vs dls the was lots of blue and gold on those teams. jb is a very smart guy. wow the crusaders arent that good anymore but the pee wee, jr midgets, and midgets all made the playoffs last year with the jm’s and midgets winning the ship, in fact the midgets have won at least 5 of the last 6 but they not good anymore thanks for the laugh. and ur saying they play 15 year olds, sure thing buddy, dont think that will set well wit that organization, oh yeah they not good anymore. u mustve got cut from them u seem to really not like them, did u play youth football did u even play high school, u calling out another guy well who are u then would love to see ur playing days highlights u would think yall arroyo fans would b quiet after 41-0

To Arroyo coach Barnes,
Some of the above posters comments border on inexplicable, wholly unreadable, and define the term ridiculous better than Websters Dictionary.
Keep up the great work Barnes, and you will continue to look superior on all accounts.
Dons are improving under brutal circumstances, generally

I went to san leandro in 2007 Brad Bowers dont care about the players or other coaches! He just worry about winning HAAL Title each year. I do agree with “HaalPlayer_08″everything you is saying Brad Bowers dont send kids out to college. Coach JB who ever you if I was you I watch BOOM !!!
Arroyo Don
Brad Bowers do be recruiting when I played crusaders “BOOM” He went to my house (WEST OAKLAND)and called my parents and told them and asked “is your son_____ coming to san leandro high for the next 4 years” my parents said “YES” . Boom told me all this stuff and put it in my ear saying I was going to play Varisty my 2nd year in high school I regret going to San Leandro High School.

haal player 08
i dont have to get on jb “good side” lol im always going to give props to a hard working coach, i dont have anything against him or his program, its u lil buddy on here bashing 2 programs i was apart of that taught me alot on and off the field. i have heard on this blog and from other people lots of not too good things bout coach boom, if whats been said is true then thats not good. im going to always support the pirate sports programs and the crusader organization. i dont know coach boom as much as you and former pirate i didnt play for the man and wont bash the guy, i wasnt very happy with my coach there either but got over it and moved on, if both of you played at SL im pretty sure i made it to a game or 2 of urs, support the kids
scoop i like the young kid and sky is the limit for a freshman qb b high qb is a soph he settled down after the 1st 2 plays and made some nice throws #6 from b high was all over the place, really good player.
