Teeazaleezy,

Learn your history.

Montgomery went 11-3 in 2009, 11-2 in 2006 and 13-0 in 2004. They won the D2 section in 2004, quarterfinals in 2006 and were in the sectional finals in 2009. They play in the NBL, the toughest league outside EBAL and BVAL (and some years NBL is tougher than BVAL) including Cardinal Newman and Rancho Cotate, so even in years they go 3-7 or 4-6 they are a battle tested bunch. Their coach has been coaching there for over 30 years and has a .660 winning percentage; quite an accomplishment given the tough league.

El Cerrito may be the real thing this year, but its way early to tell. They certainly won’t get any respect playing hapless SLZ!!!!!!!

Montgomery is from Santa Rosa, the home of Mel Gray. A very established football school from way back.
They make the playoffs on many occasions in the past.

I saw Pinole at Laney this summer. Good looking athletes tough. Looks like they’re going back to stuff on offense they use to run years ago when Steve Alameda 1st started coaching there. But the new HC didn’t seem to be able to get his guys to run his plays soundly & correct the simple errors 2 guys in the same area on pass routes constantly. I’m sure it hasn’t gotten any easier with pads on & running plays.

Spartan83,

I wouldn’t be to down over a 10 point victory over D2 Montgomery. They are a good program having a down period. Anytime you get a win over them it’s a pretty good night. Besides, I’d rather beat Mongomery by 10 than beat SLZ or De Anza by 100! What kind of chump pre-league are those for El Cerrito and Salesian???

I ain’t even gonna lie … Pinole will need to play better than they did vs Montgomery if they expect to compete for a league title. Way to many mistakes and turnovers.

League Sleeper is Valley Christian experience is in the O&D Line.. They have two players that were invited to play for the USA Team in Texas 6’4 250 McHone and 6’4 260 Flynn. They have a 3 year starter at MLB AJ Harris who is being highly recruited and will be playing RB more this season.. The team that wins in the trenches usually wins the ball game.

I think this will be a very competative league. I think Salesain, EC, and Pinole will definitely seperate themselves. Valley could be a sleeper. Salesian did graduate alot of key players, but they’re Oline has potential and they have returning senior Mike Page who played exceptional last year. Should be interesting.
