prep fan , I can tell you have an extreme amount of class which is appreciated.I will admit the video came out at the wrong time.Thanx for clarification.Your team should have went beyond what it did. If all the other bloggers would conform and realize the south and the south west has an enormous amount of parent support. I am trying to do that for our kids we can compete with the best of them. If you check the scores of all american games the west won majority, our kids are awesome!!.If WEEE represent our area and push our Atheletes to the next level schools like Cal, Stanford and so on wont have to leave the area to recruit.My Handle has long in it because i have been dj falong.It was nice to meet you after the logan srv defeat.Good luck next year you deserve it. P.S Lets advertise our kids. @ the semper fi we had three and still not on the radar. these organizations are predominately East coast. Lets push our kids and flood the recruiting sites with info. The three or four that stood out needed help what about those key players. NCS lets goooo !!!

DJ, I’m sure people were just having some fun with that jamboree video that was posted. While it was just a glorified practice session, it was against 3 top tier teams and Logan did play well that day against all 3 squads. At the time it was posted, the season was well under way, so I can see how it looked like a desparation ploy to show that they had played well aganst some good teams, since the regular season was a walk over.

Logan should be a force next season, and Long is expected to be a big part again. I wish them luck in 2012 unless they face the Grizz. Seeing that your screen name has “long” in it, are you related to him or just a Logan booster.

@ all bloggers. I posted the logan JAMBOREE/season video not to show any dominance but to show the development of one player. Over the years we have had the opportunity to watch a runningback / outside linebacker grow.I wanted positive comments on LONG’s progress. The post was not to invoke negative comments filled with hate. I understand the one and done concept and believe me the srv.loss left a bad taste in mouth.I love to see all players grow and become top atheletes.Moreaufan2 pls. stop you know who we are and as someone stated earlier its probably a good think that your team wont have to contend with this group.Also logan played three well coached teams in the non division part of their schedule and physically beat those teams. If all key players remain on the field and are sent out on varying pass / run routes they should place higher than one and done good luck to all and see yins next year.

Moreaufan2,

Don’t fret over the quote. I’m not surprised whatsoever with his comments. In many people’s eyes we’re the lowest of the low and we won’t be able to pull ourselves out of it. We know we can and will, let everyone else talk and discuss. We’ll keep getting better, let it show on the field, and maybe one day (if we’re as competitive as Logan in football), it could come back to bit ‘em. But right now, it’s simple material that will be posted on the window in the coaches office for the whole team to see every day.

However, if you look at his quote, he does have a point. Right now, Logan is by far the best team in the MVAL and they only get 4 games to prove their seeding in NCS. So adding us, it takes away one of the non-league games that they could play a big time opponent. Now, I’ll admit, I don’t really understand why they’re doing this. Improving the seeding is only that great, but in DI, you will run into DLS at some point, and you always become an “also ran”. I wouldn’t be surprised if they look into joining CCS or maybe realize the difficulty of scheduling an independent schedule and move back into the MVAL.

Either way, there are far more interesting/exciting things to worry about in the Moreau Catholic football program than a quote from a coach in the middle of January. The construction of the new facilities will help us make a jump to the next level, the movement into a new league, where we should be instantly competitive, and our boys are grinding it out in the weight room getting better every day are much more exciting topics to discuss.

Ride the Wave!

i find it funny everyone comes on here and rips this league and that league…if you are not in the BVAL or EBAL you have no room to talk as a D1 competitor. All leagues are inferior to those two. The only other good league right now in terms of football is the DFAL, but they are very top heavy. Campo had a once in a lifetime season but were coming off a very down year and dublin had their best year in a long long time. So last year very good for a D2/D3 combo league, but i wouldn’t call them an elite league by any means either.

NFL, Moreau hasnt done anything, we just samll school trying to get better, but that dont mean i cant comment on what someone says and i could care less who it is! Just giving the sensitive dude a hard time! I made a comment and he took offense to it! M whole thing is this could have happened long ago, but all of a sudden u say its because of moreau, well too my knowledge he could have made his case when all this was going down!

And UC Rancher you are right, I feel his comments could have been said differently, so thats what it is! i dont disagree with them leaving but it could have happened a long time ago, so now that u do it u have to mention Moreau the way he did, just didnt agree, just move on and go from there! its the biggest school in northern Cali right, they should have been working to do this is my point!

Read the article again Moreau fan. U are the one being sensitive. Facts are facts & numbers don’t lie. They dominated league play for the past three years. The MVAL has been down for awhile now. Logan is try 2 make themselves by competing against better teams which they don’t have presently in the MVAL. U took zubers comments as a slap in the face when he was just telling the truth. You’re the only one who took offense 2 it when everybody else agree with his statements & actions.

Who said u had my respect? stop being so sensitive! Not taking cheap shots, but the way they made it sound was as if we forced their hand to go independent and thats not the case, they made it sound in the article that since we joined the league we made it worse,a dn thats not cool to me because they are a big school and could have went independent a long time ago,but to make it sond like our kids cant compete is not cool and it cud have been worded differently. And if u cud care less about moreau then why did u comment in the first place? I think alot of these coaches these days coach for the wrong reasons, its all about ego, and thats what I felt was coming from Logan in this article. U guys are expected to win u have 5,000 students, and thats all good, but to take a shot at a small school and its kids is not the way to say why ur moving out of a league! So I dont reepect the way the made their comments in the article, cuz really the MVAL is not a pwer house league! So the move could have been made long ago! And as far a reaching goes, My point is clear, just because ur considered a big dog means nothing u have to prove it, and that comes from hard work, no matter what level or division the team is on! A tem like Salesian, plays in a whack league, but they always find teams in non league to play that are playoff teams for the most part, now they are getting out of that league but u never hear them try to talk down another team as a reason for it!
