Regarding comment #3 above from Dragon. Let’s be sure we have accurate facts in regards to BO’s QB Miroglio. He did not miss the entire summer and 2 weeks of camp. He missed a 3 day team camp and 3 days of summer camp to attend vital baseball showcases. My understanding is his performance at the recent Area Code Baseball Games landed him an offer from UCLA to play baseball on scholarship there (which he has accepted). He would not have received that offer had he been at football pracrice. Miroglio has continued to work with is personal QB coach all Winter, Spring and Summer and it looked to me that he was throwing the ball better than ever against El Certito on Friday. If BO can play defense this year, which has been there downfall the last 2 years, look for great things out of the Dragons in their new, highly competetive, league.

Hey Ex-coach: I saw Mt Eden scrimmage also. Defense was shaky early on; poor tackling and lack of pursuit dogged the monarchs. Offense, though, moved the ball consistently. Nice talent at running back; off line has some size, two good looking TE’s and the players seemed to improve as the scrim wore on. For sure, tackling must improve. But the monarchs did get lined up and did not seem to be “confused” as they were last year. IMO this group shows the ability to be better in 2012. But, yes, they must improve defensively in order to be in a position to win multiple games this season.

I saw Mt.eden and they looked like a typical 2-8 Mt.Eden team. Defense was horrible.

the other day i posted on 30Q #23 that mt eden had a smashmouth approach using 3 different backs to carry the load. it wasnt wishbone or wing t it was I backs but 3 different kids carried the ball. the defense looked a bit slower than the offense. but overall they look better than last year.

Went to the the Foothill, Livermore, Heritage, and Washington scrimmage on Friday. Foothill was quite impressive and had no problem scoring on all three opponents. Sophomore QB, Kyle Kearns was impressive and I believe threw multiple TD’s. Weapons were all over the field for Foothill … Hudson, Gates, Holland, Anderson, and a couple of new sophomores. Defense should be solid … but gave up a few big plays that will cost them during EBAL play.

Livermore looked like they were playing hard and their coaching staff was quite vocal. Their offense looked a little one dimensional – mis-direction running game that broke a few long runs. Their defense seemed aggressive … but will need to be pretty shut down to overcome their ball control (low scoring) offense.

Washington was athletic … and seemed to have some playmakers however, their QB was wild. QB had a nice arm but was playing street ball (looked like Michael Vick). Cal High staff was on site scouting … should be a nice easy win for them this Friday.

Heritage was quite a rag tag outfit … wearing uniforms of both white and blue jerseys. Aggressive defense but overall didn’t look as athletic as the other teams.

Let the games begin … !

I don’t know much about DV except what I saw in the scrimmage so my comments should be taken with that in mind. Their O is a spread offense but 90% is run, and much of that was by the QB. They are athletic and big. If they did just change offenses it shows. They had problems executing. Might be more of a coaching issue than a player issue. Lots of mistakes with blocking assignments. Summary. A lot of talent but not well prepared. I’d rate the performances at this scrimmage 1 MV. 2. Windsor. 3. SRV. 4. DV. Sorry DV.
