Post 14, who said anything about coaches allowing that?
First of all, we don’t really know what happened, only the suspended and team knows. If getting lubed up offends you, so what? Who cares if you know another coach? You called other high school principles to inform them of their coaches actions? Sheet, you need to lighten up man. Your holier than than other attitude is your choice, however don’t ever think you know my mentality- I didn’t do it or condone it in HS or college either, however it happened on more than several occassions at schools, it’s kind of like well I’m a member of sSgma Kei, so my frat couldn’t have beat, humilated or drowned the pledges, yet it happened. These things happen a lot in college, read the papers. Don’t think jocks don’t participate? Stick some of that icy hot on you and open up a little punk.

Freedom won a local tournament. I don’t know where. and then later they got invited to a tournament to play at the Colts Stadium, yes the pro team. Just getting invited was a big deal.

There O-line is stacked returning everyone. They have a center that doesn’t look strong. But is the strongest on the team. Kyle Lintz is built as a D1 lineman. Reminds me of Kyree Oliver. Built kind of the same.

The only problem or question they have is on Defense. That has always been there problem year in and year out. Bobby Montgomery was an animal last year. Very small Defensive Tackle but was very strong. He is returning, Daniels and Mixon will probably play more on defense. Tyler Saude will probably Outside Linebacker.

Their schedule is not that strong. Amador will be ok this year, they don’t suck but they aren’t that amazing. Foothill will be the biggest test for them. They have dominated passing league tournaments this summer.They have a player named Griffin who is being talked about alot in that program. Heard Castro Valleys program has tanked, they’ve gotten really bad the last couple of years. Franklin is almost identical to freedom in some ways, but i dont see them catching up to freedom.

I think the “Consistency” of Heritage has died down for now.

There were two LMC 7on7 tourneys that DLS participated in. They lost to Antioch in the first one and won the 2nd tournament.

Antioch has looked tremendous this summer. Freedom has looked great at times, inconsistent at others, but many say they are the team to beat. Saw Liberty earlier in summer, they looked pretty decent at DVC; from what I heard, they basically sent JV players to LMC, so I bet they did look pretty overmatched. I hear Pitt’s running game will be very solid, could be the x-factor against Freedom, and we all know DV has always had the talent to run a great pro-style/spread offense.

Passing League doesnt mean anything but it is kind of shocking to hear that DLS lost a game. Seen them a couple times at DVC tourneys over the years they have always smoked every team they’ve played Pitt, SRV, COncord, ect… They win every local tourney they attend. Porps to Antioch if anything.

@pitt grunt

You are right, some teams take the 7 on 7 more seriously than others. all i am saying is that pitt did not look like the usual pitt. their db’s look lost, and the qb does not seem to have an arm. it looks like pitt will be pounding the ball. i know pitt will be a team to beat by the time season starts. galli will get the kids ready. as for freedom, i hear that their defense is a big question. we know they’ll put points up. the lb’s is what is hear the issue is at. freedom o-line should be solid. if antioch can play as they did in the 7 on 7, they should compete. i still believe dv will be the surprise of the league with their size and athleticism. heritage and liberty looked horrible from what i saw. maybe coach haagenson can turn things around. heritage seems to have lost its shine for this year. liberty has issues in and out the field. can’t wait for this coming friday’s scrimmages. i will be at pitt to watch the scrmmages. we will see what the bval has to offer.

@Spectator2012,

I was at that LMC 7 on 7 tournament too and also saw Antioch beat De La Salle. Dose that mean Antioch should be favored to win NCS??? It’s 7 on 7. Some team go into these tournament to win, other to develop players. Different philosophies. The key to the BVAL is the Offensive and Defensive line. If you win the battle of the trenches you will win league. Every team in the BVAL has good skill players (yes, even Liberty), some better than others (hint: Freedom). This is why I think Antioch and Liberty will struggle and Pitt and DV are always in contention. No doubt the big 3 for Freedom make them the favorite. But I do wonder about their O-line and D.

From a Pitt point of view, Coach Galli’s off season over haul of his coaching staff will be tested in the first five games, with Clayton Valley, Cal High, Berkeley, Monte Vista, and Granite Bay on the schedule. Based on the practices I have attended, this staff has been very active instilling a sense of discipline. Lots of yelling, lots of hustle, and a much more disciplined feel. The new D-Coordinator is a very intense guy.

More will be learned after Friday’s scrimmages. Pitt hosts De LA Salle, Cal, and James Logan. I know Heritage participates in a Jamboree at Foothill. Anyone know were the other team will be on Friday?
