Way to go Logan! I like their preseason schedule, come league then a midseason showdown wit Del Oro(Rebuilding?), shud be very interesting. This looks just about right.
September 10th, 2012 at 5:48 pm
I sure do not see how a 1-1 Mac team gets rated over the Pride and VC Viking both sitting at 3-0. Both are higher rated ,play in tougher leagues O and guess what they have not lost a game.
September 10th, 2012 at 6:26 pm
new league expert they havent played league games yet so what does a tougher league mean right now?
September 10th, 2012 at 7:40 pm
new league expert, only VC has any type of argument to be rated over Mack. Salesian’s schedule is absolute crap. They’ve played teams that are a combined 1-5. And seriously De Anza and Richmond have been consistently two of the worst football programs.
Mack lost to BOD and then beat a solid Minico squad from Idaho (and yes I know Idaho football isn’t the deepest, but some of their teams out here are actually pretty damn solid). Want some proof see what their large school state champ Couer D’Alene did to SJS team Whitney last year. 55-6 beat them worse than Del Oro did.
September 10th, 2012 at 7:42 pm
By the way that Whitney team was led by Elite 11 QB and Oregon commit Jake Rodrigues and USC TE Jalen Cope-Fitzpatrick so they weren’t chopped liver.
September 10th, 2012 at 8:26 pm
Finally giving credit to Granada. And SRV dropped out. They went 0-3 in nonleague. maybe they shouldn’t have schedule such a tough nonleague schedule. That hurts their playoff chances
September 10th, 2012 at 8:33 pm
i’ve seen granada play and they will drop off in league play. they have not beaten anybody worth mentioning. i won’t be surprise with granada finishing last in their league. preseason schedule is soft.
September 10th, 2012 at 8:48 pm
Will we see a BoD vs. Marin Catholic in the palyoffs (I know, its way to early)?
September 10th, 2012 at 8:54 pm
The rankings are a lot better, Pitt and freedom should have dropped off and Antioch and Salesian should have come into the picture at 3-0. As for the teams that have a tough non league schedule well at least it makes for exciting football unless they are getting crushed. At this early point things can still turn around, they have a mountain to climb. They may have been a bit too ambitious and lost all momentum and confidence. This week we will see a good Deer Valley team take on Folsom and I expect a great game. Any other key match ups to have an eye on?
September 10th, 2012 at 9:11 pm
I think in DFAL the two big match-ups are Campo-El Cerrito and Las Lomas-Northgate.
The Campo game is probably more relevant for El Cerrito than for Campo. For El Cerrito it’s an opportunity to show that they are able to play with the Big Boys this year and are more than hype. For Campo a loss would be bad, but as long as its close they could still pretty easily put it in the rearview mirror by running through DFAL.
I like the Las Lomas-Northgate game. If you think about it, Las Lomas has lost to two teams fairly handily. Even though they are both good teams they weren’t in either game. Their only win is against……Mission San Jose?? Not impressive. Northgate has beaten San Marin and Alameda (very badly) and lost a close one to Antioch (which is a very good team). Las Lomas should take it, but its no sure thing and the repercussions if they lose are huge for them and DFAL.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:32 pm
antioch doesn’t belong there yet. the only decent team they played is northgate. the next 2 games they have are also not worth mentioning. i see them beating heritage, liberty, and maybe freedom in league play. antioch’s preseason is weak. this is what they did last year and fellout in league play. we’ll see how they do against folsom. i’ve seen dv this past friday, and they look fast. dv defense looks real good. but again it’s still early. anything can happen.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
So the GREAT minds of the polls finally have Deer Valley in at 14. Next 3 weeks, 2 of their games are Folsom and Vacaville. One loss to either of them and the GREAT pollsters will probably leave them off the list the rest of the year no matter how good Fol. and Vaca. are.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:27 pm
Why Not Encinal in the top 15 there way better then MAK and Amador valley and pitt
September 10th, 2012 at 10:59 pm
Did Deer Valley drop the “Fly” Offense? Im thinking it wud be nice to see El Cerrito up there.Heirtage’s next 3 games looks like its gonna be rough! Im not sold on California’s preseason schedule. Nor, Monte Vista’s. We shall see how Pittsburg truly is when they face Granite Bay. Props to San Ramon Valley for scheduling Out Of Section Games to gauge themselves on how they do around the region. De La Salle is De La Salle. Ill be rooting for Logan against Del Oro. I wonder if other teams take the De La Salle/Logan Route how wud they fare? Wud there be more teams interested?
September 11th, 2012 at 12:03 am
can el cerrito run the table if they get past campo? mark it oct.13 jacobs last chance to beat my over/under of 2!he plays mt.eden!
September 11th, 2012 at 12:16 am
Personally, screw the “Out Of Section” standard. I love the teams in NCS. I love that in high school football you play against kids that you grew up with and have played with or against since primary school. I love neighbors talking smack to each other all week. That is what is missing at the college level right now.
And I’m not sold on other sections playing better ball anyway
September 11th, 2012 at 6:00 am
#4Renegades – You might be right about Idaho football not being deep, but one thing is certain; they are serious about their HS football. As you might expect from an area lacking any distraction from local pro teams, HS Fb is big time. Here we have a Friday night blog with junkies twittering each other with game updates. In Boise, one of the stations flys a helicopter around to all of the games on Friday nights. Was there recently, didn’t see it in action, just the ads for it, but that is serious stuff, it is not cheap to fly a copter around for three hours. Plus, they just completed a brand new state of the art stadium, shared by several schools, with over 5000 seats. Wow.
September 11th, 2012 at 11:06 am
I enjoy going to games at De La Salle…All the parent / alumni volunteers..around the stands and field. It makes for a professional setting and all are so friendly and helpful. One thing is lacking a field concession stand with restrooms. But otherwise a great home spun atmosphere. Hope to make it to Fridays game vs St. Marys of Stockton. Spartans should be able to rack up some points and get the majority of players in on rotation.
September 11th, 2012 at 12:16 pm
Northgate at Las Lomas should be interesting. NG has a very athletic QB this year Pellitier is the kicker, punter and on defense DE. Boy going beast mode. After this game they will probablly have more passing yards in 4 games than the total from the past year in total. Along with Tavake, Sharpe, Haynes, and Vorheese making some noise running the ball this could get interesting. If the Defense is a hit rather than a miss and they watch the penalties this may lean NG.
September 11th, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Here’s The Schoolmarm’s Greater Bay Area (NCS/CCS) Top 25 for after Week 2. The team’s Week 1 ranking will be shown in parenthesis.

24.(30) Clayton Valley 3-0
25.(39) Analy 3-0
(26).(12) Pittsburg 1-2
NR: not ranked
Logan 35 San Ramon Valley 0 didn’t surprise me very much. SR played Buhach Colony (who was decisively beaten 35-19 at home by Clovis North last Friday) at about the same level as they did the Colts (I saw both games), only Cameron Birsch was somewhat beat-up from the 20-31 loss at Folsom last week. Logan definetely has the starting athletes and finese to get to the Coliseum, provided they stay healthy; not a strong bench: they only suited up 34 guys! Although SR has started “slow” before with later a good season, the Wolves will need to really crank it up or they won’t even win 3 EBAL games.
September 11th, 2012 at 2:25 pm
schoolmarm you should do your rankings by divison cant see salesian or el cerrito beating pittsburg or deer valley. i know how rankings go but you gotta trust your eyes chico,the eyes they never lie!
September 11th, 2012 at 3:14 pm
@dudley dawson. y u always HATIN on ec? coach MILO didint give u much playing time back in the day huh? STOP being a HATER!!!!!
September 11th, 2012 at 5:12 pm
@ The SchoolMarm: Love your rankings. It wud be nice to see if you kid add the teams from Napa & Solano Counties (Since Marin, Sonoma Counties & as far into Monterey County). Just a thought.
September 11th, 2012 at 6:38 pm
9 out of top 15 Catholic, 11 out of top 25 Catholic. Don’t forget to say your prayers for the little jimmie’s.
))
September 11th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
Bye the way, in the SJS Jesuit undeated at 2-0, Cristian Bros. 3-0 ST. Mary’s Stockton 2-0. Just Sayin’.
September 11th, 2012 at 7:21 pm
John_quin- Are you kidding me? Antioch doesn’t play anyone worth mentioning. Their strength of schedule is complete trash Mt.Diablo Franklin Northgate and Dougherty Valley who is decent and that’s about it. Freedom and Pitt would demolish Antioch. They will not move up far.
September 11th, 2012 at 8:01 pm

no one talking about Encinal getting smacked by a mediocre Rodriguez-Fairfield team?
September 11th, 2012 at 8:17 pm
heritage will not score against logan.
logan 42(+) heritage 0
heritage couldn’t beat a weak windsor team. they will not do anything to the colts. long will have a hell of a game and may be out by the 2nd half.
running clock? maybe.
September 11th, 2012 at 8:45 pm
@ Freedom fan, your probably right in terms of Antioch getting beat in league play by both Pitt and Freedom. I’m not a big fan of strength of schedule ranking and as of right now both Pitt and Freedom are sitting at 1-2 so unless they start winning which I’m sure they will Antioch is still 3-0. We assume we know who will win week in week out but I prefer to give credit to the teams who have won. Give recognition until somebody comes along and exposes them. Personally I prefer to not see teams with losing records ranked high, but this is not going to stop the sports writers and ranking committee from ranking the teams they believe are strongest.
September 11th, 2012 at 9:14 pm
#30 – Not a fan of strength of schedule ranking? So you would rather all top tier teams schedule cupcakes in the non-league than challenge themselves and get post-season ready? Antioch ran the table with a weak non-league last season, and then got handled by Heritage, Freedom, and Liberty to open league play. This year, they will be 5-0 again, and then get exposed by Deer Valley. The two teams will be prepared at vastly different levels, and it will show. Oh yeah, but they will have already qualified for a playoff berth by clinching a .500 record (what a joke). Meanwhile, the other teams in their league are all challenging themselves with similar opponents. But then again, if it were up to you, I guess everyone would schedule Savannah State (or in this case, Franklin, Dougherty, Mt D, etc) and get the W’s . . .
September 11th, 2012 at 9:21 pm
D3 is looking well represented this year. Happy to see EC and Campo are building so much excitement this week. EC beats Campo on the Cougars field, we will see. EC is due, but them Cougars are sneaky against them. Stephens vs. Benjamin, Macy vs. Kahn, I never thought l liked high school football so much.
September 11th, 2012 at 9:34 pm
I’ll take Concord over Bethel (Identity crisis & no leader showing up, too many personalities & not focusing!) Vintage just won there last game until they meet Wood of Vacaville, Fairfield & Armijo of Fairfield. Vintage’s offense is outdated. Dont know much about their defense.
September 12th, 2012 at 7:34 am
Armijo-Fairfield probably has the best athletes out of those 3 Fairfield high schools
September 12th, 2012 at 7:41 am
I guess what I’m trying to explain is as a team if you are going to schedule strong opponents you still have to win to be considered. You can’t go 1-4 then say well we had a strong schedule so we should still be ranked in the top 10. We the fans still have our favorites and sometimes we get bullheaded about teams we think are superior like Pitt, SRV and Others hopefully they can turn things around and not rely on strength of schedule as to why they have a losing record. Are they better teams than the undeafeted teams because they had a cream puff schedule probably. They still need to perform and win hopefully the contenders will start to outperform the pretenders.
September 12th, 2012 at 8:12 am
El Cerrito is a go on all cylinders. I take EC 28-24
September 12th, 2012 at 8:38 am
If EC wants to make a statement then this is the week to do it. If they can’t beat this Campo team then they are just pretenders and not contenders. I do like EC’s chances against Campo because Campo wants to throw the ball and thats EC game. I’ll take EC this season 35-28
September 12th, 2012 at 8:41 am
Lolol, Everyone knows Encinal is not very good this season. Losing to Rodriguez just comfirmed everything that program is going through. Guess the rumors are true. They will go 5-5 at best this season.
September 12th, 2012 at 8:46 am
Whats going on down in Pitt? I can never understand why they can’t be consistant year to year. They have the players and the line to be elite and compete against DLS. Come on Pitt you should be better than to lose to Monte Vista!
September 12th, 2012 at 9:11 am
George Manley –
You picked Mt. Eden over Moreau last week and now you pick SPSV over Moreau. No dice. The Mariners beat the Bruins 28-14 on the road.
September 12th, 2012 at 9:15 am
Last year Campo took a punch to the mouth by the Gauchos, an incredibly physical game and came away with a 16-13 victory that was the most satisfying of the 10-0 regular season last year. A couple of things to look for:
Campo defense: Last year Campo had the athletes in the secondary to hang with EC. Though the Cougars turned in an outstanding defensive effort vs Sacred Heart Cathedral, the advantage clearly belongs to EC.
EC defense: With only 18 players on the entire roster, down from 38 the previous year (what happened?), conditiong and fatigue will play a roll as the game wears on. Pickett & Pippins are undoubtedly the best pair of corners in the east bay.
Campo offense: Already with 29 games of varsity experience, QB Brett Stephens is as good as it gets. The key may be the crop of Soph & Junior receivers he has to throw to as EC will look to stop their top receiver, Windatt. Campo will definitely need production out of their running game, perhaps Stephens will call his own number on a few designed runs.
EC offense: EC is breaking in a new QB but that hasn’t slowed their production down. EC spreads the ball around, both in running and passing; even Pickett & Pippins get carries and completions. Very efficient.
On paper it appears as if El Cerrito has the edge in nearly all facets of the game, with the exception of QB Stephens. Just like their final four playoff games last year Campo is likely the underdog in this game as well; somehow I think Coach Macy prefers it this way. If recent history is any guide, win or lose, one thing is for certain, he won’t get outcoached.
September 12th, 2012 at 10:29 am
I agree on Pitt. Hearing they have an o-line & d-line like LSU. What is the problem? Guarentee better athletes then Serra. They trashed Monte Vista 50-0 or something like that last hear I was there left at halftime game was over. It’s time to admit that Galli really isn’t that great of a coach.He should be beating up Monte Vista not losing to them
September 12th, 2012 at 10:36 am
PERKIN, Galil can’t be that good of a coach if he can’t get any consistancy in that program. Pitt has some of the better athletes in the bay area with over 100 kids in the entire program every year. I give props because they send kids off to college regularly but I don’t understand why they can’t compete with the best in the state and dominate the others. Galil we want to see better out of your program.
September 12th, 2012 at 10:41 am
redandblue2, The EC vs Campo game should be a good one considering how last years match went. It could be a shoot out but I think Campo will be tough for EC to beat because Macy will have his guys better prepared than Kahn. That could be the differnce in the game or EC’s athletes will be too much for Campo to handle. Should be a fun one and I will be in attendance for this match.
September 12th, 2012 at 10:41 am
Perkin…The trouble with Pittsburg isn’t Galli…its the kids..no matter how much training you pump into them..it goes in one ear and out the other…The Pittsburg kids of the past are coachable…But these kids have issues that may not be resolved…The Pirates should be on a roll instead of a floundering whipping boy…
September 12th, 2012 at 11:08 am
#28….Stuck In Spokane…This is not good…I must have been blind in one eye and couldn’t see out of the other…
September 12th, 2012 at 11:25 am
George Manley – I agree with Pawn Star; you picked against Moreau last week and they beat Mt. Eden pretty handily; I see them doing the same against St. Pat’s.
September 12th, 2012 at 11:54 am
mamley galli has over a 100 kids in the program bench someone cut someone if you have to its not like he has a small roster send a message! way too much talent at pitt!
September 12th, 2012 at 12:24 pm
Agree with NFL. I think PITT has over 150 kids year in & year out. No excuses. Coaching needs to be better.
September 12th, 2012 at 12:44 pm
redandblue2 and mandown I agree with both of you ec has athletes galore this year but they do have a smaller roster and their line is still suspect don’t think campo will win by being pass heavy this year but if they can effectively run they will definetly have a great chance of winning but as it has been said ec’s biggest weakness is coaching where Kahn isn’t strong at game planning for the differant oponnents offensive schemes and defensive scheme his philosophy is “lets do what we do no matter the opponent”… he does get the most out of his athletes strenghts he relates well with his players but not good at coaching when there is adversity…..This week i will guarantee that Macy has looked at film and is game planning for ec both offensively and defensivelywhich makes all the differance in close games.Lastly Ec’s best coach on staff might be their new conditioning coach hired from Stanford this summer ec is in great conditon and works very hard weekly on conditioning ….this game is a tossup and ec is very motivated they felt like they let last year’s game get away from them they are out to prove something cant wait for this one.This should be the first challenge of the season for both teams.
September 12th, 2012 at 12:49 pm
Encinal is a really good team but i heard its there corner? and pitt is going to lose this weak to berkely haha berkely is good but no better then my pirates and im feeling logan is going to win the hole thing this year they going to upset De la salle watch.
September 12th, 2012 at 12:50 pm
i meant pitt is not going to lose ahhahahah my fault
September 12th, 2012 at 1:48 pm
DJ..Man Down & red & blue2….Another thing to consider is the schedules that both have played so far….Campolindo has played a tougher group of teams then El Cerrito and the Campo line by this time is farther advanced then El Cerrito’..This game could very well be won in the trenches…
September 12th, 2012 at 1:50 pm
dj watchout macy helluva coach if your dline is suspect expect campolindo to run then play action bombs away! if ec can establish there running game & stop campolindo from running i like there chances but el cerrito aint known for being tough in trenches though.
September 12th, 2012 at 1:57 pm
Perkin and NFL…
Galli has a large group of kids to work with, but almost all of them have issues..sorting out the bad seeds and the possibleables are almost the same…Its not like 10 years ago when the kids at Pittsburg were coachable…Maybe its time for some new blood, but Galli is in a tough position right now…Especially after getting bombed by Monte Vista last week…
September 12th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Pitt is not playing like a team yet and has a problem with a general lack of discipline, what more can be expected at this point in time. That was deep.
Thought number two is De La Salle is playing a very weak schedule..they knew that the pre-league teams were on the big down cycle. And today they were hit with the national ranking down-grade of 4th. Still a very good team..but a great team? that remains to be seen as we watch coach Ladouceur’s annual imitation of W.T Sherman’s march to the sea..i.e State Championship.
September 12th, 2012 at 2:41 pm
@mandown, Lets see what happends at the Serra game Before you Bury us. Still got a lot of Football to play yet. Yes We lost to a team we should’ve beat but WE AIN’T DEAD YET! Jet Pride!
September 12th, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Any Stats on the Clayton Valley vs Montgomery-Santa Rosa game? Just want to see if CV-Charter is still playing a one dimensional game.
September 12th, 2012 at 4:04 pm
#48…The Bay79…. Take another look…last week I picked Moreau over Mt Eden 32-12 and Moreau stopped Mt.Eden 45-24..
This week its St. Patrick/St. Vincent 29 Moreau 21..I think St. Patrick has the edge.
September 12th, 2012 at 4:04 pm
# 57, how can DLS predict what Bellarmine, Mullen and St. Mary’s records or downslides going to be 2years in advance. Most of these out of league schedules are done way in advance. Bellarmine is a 2 yr deal- they were state finalists last year. Mullen has been excellent for years- yea 9-3 last 2 but they have tried to put both teams together for a game for more than several yrs- Mullen actually had the opening and scheduled it. St. Mary’s is a perenial SJS playoff bound team and DLS has played them on numerous occasions, similar to playing Serra for many years.
I agree Lad is like Serman’s march to the sea but there are always battles to be fought. DLS will always be challenged to play some naional type schedule, remember these are high school kids, the team cannot travel every week out of state, that means leaving school by Weds. afternoon. The same goes for teams coming in. Mabey more of a national type California schedule, which means playing more SoCal teams, but DeLa has already proven they can deal with that.
September 12th, 2012 at 4:24 pm
nfl ec’s dline is just ok good group of linebackers kid from newark had 100 yards rushing ur right on if campo can establish the run it would open up play action pass but pippins and pickett are tough cover corners but ec’s offense is very explosive with 5or 6 guys who can break away including young quarterback havent heard much about campo’s defense? @goerge manley don’t think campo’s schedule has been tougher both schedule have been weak st. pat’s and moreau are cream puffs they played sacred heart was a decent team and ec played san lorenzo and kennedy-richmond and newark was decent.again campo is very scary because of coach macy he could be the differance.
September 12th, 2012 at 7:10 pm
@ Big Joe…You have a valid point…I thought you guys had the all seeing eye stashed somewhere on campus you know The Mason’s or is destiny controlled by the Bilderberg Conference. Just trying to stay away from comments like DLS recruits. We all know in our hearts it is the hard work and dedication by players and coaches. I will talk this over more with Peter.
All the best Stewie
September 12th, 2012 at 7:51 pm
Nobody schedules as difficult, year in and year out, as DLS. Nobody.
September 12th, 2012 at 8:49 pm
Old Former meddling Coach, Encinal teams of the past would never lose to a team of that caliber. If the Jets lose to that type of team I can only imagine whats going to happen the rest of this year. From the roster on max preps they are young and have a freshman on var and have a sophomore starting at QB. That says it all for me former coach! They wont score a touchdown against Serra and it will be over by halftime. Sorry! Serra wins 35-0
September 12th, 2012 at 9:05 pm
ManDown- That Freshmen is really good aha and the sophomore QB is really good to of course he’s going to be good he a tautalatasi haha and my prediction is Serra-49 Encinal 14
September 12th, 2012 at 9:14 pm
@DJ as a guy who has or hasn’t coached before, what are the challenges suburban players/coaches face? EC is on the brink, and it ain’t because they brought more coaches/babysitters in. I’m pretty sure Dougherty valley isn’t wondering why their former strength coach joined the EC staff. Everyone likes to win. Macy is legit, no doubt, but I guarantee he’s never had to deal with half the off field duties them EC coaches do. I’m riding with the gauchos not because I like to win, but because that’s my Alma mater, class of 96′ where y’all at?
September 12th, 2012 at 10:31 pm
@mandown, If we had that attitude we might as well not play. The game is not over til it is over and I believe in the kids. You don’t have to be sorry. It is your opinion and your welcome to it.:-) But we play hard until the last second ticks off the clock. That is Encinal Football. Jet Pride!
September 12th, 2012 at 11:53 pm
Mr. Kahn & Staff of El Cerrito football, I’ve been a coach for over 25 years and I have never seen a staff with so much talent do so little with it. I witnessed last years contest against Campo and I cannot for the life of me understand what in the world were you guys thinking. You guys had a 13 point lead and had the ball after that on two seperate drives inside the five and came away with zilch!! I know the spread offense to some coaches is the best thing since sliced bread, but when you’re inside the five????? Let me say that again, but when you’re inside the five???? Have you ever heardddddddddd of the Power “I”, “Jumbo” “Double Tight” or even the Double Wing????? I know you can learn a lot from losing. Lets see if you guys have learned your lesson this year. I got Campo becasue Coach Macy knows football and you guys pretend to know football. El Cerrito has all the ingredients to win this game but unfortunitely the coaching staff doesn’t have the RECIPE.
September 13th, 2012 at 12:05 am
Last year El Cerrito tied with Newark 14-14. This year, El Cerrito DESTROYED Newark, 44-6. My money is on EC.

Old Former Meddling Coach, I love your positive attitude. You always believe in your team regardless of the situation. Good luck.
MVAL Fan, The EC and Newark game has nothing to do with this weeks matchup. Campo is a completly differnt team than Newark so I hope you’re not basing anything off that win. I know one thing, EC better be ready for the unexpected with coach Macy. He always has some tricks up his sleeve.
September 13th, 2012 at 9:57 am
I agree, Campo in a close game. EC has all the ingredients to cook up a victory,but the coaching staff doesn’t know the recipe. 24-20 Campo in a hard hitting affair EC coaches lose this one again.
September 13th, 2012 at 10:18 am
@trudat I agree with u i know that kahn and his staff deal with many more off the field things than does macy and I believe ec is mos def on the brink of something special whether they win or lose this game my point was that because macy doesnt deal with half the stuff kahn does he can focus much more on the x’s and o’s of the game and come playoffs that makes all the differance and I think its huge that kahn has surrounded himself with better coaches and tougher coaches than he himself is because macy would get run over by the student athletes at ec and for the the record i am also a former gaucho “88″and my nephew is a current gaucho and i think they win tommorow but coaching is a definite advantage for campo in my opinion.
September 13th, 2012 at 11:29 am
George Manely – I stand corrected; although, I believe that Moreau will beat St. Pat’s – the Bruins just aren’t what they used to be. Should be a good battle.
September 13th, 2012 at 11:56 am

September 13th, 2012 at 2:16 pm
Pawnstar…..There is better then a good chance that Moreau will stop SP/SV….They have played better ball then SP/SV…High School football does not always do what we think it will do..We will know soon….
September 13th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Everyone is going a bit overboard on the genius of Macy. From 04 thru last season he is 52-30 for a winning pct of 63% and has had 3 losing seasons. Plenty of coaches in NCS have better winning percentages… some far better. Macy is good, but he’s not a reincarnated Bill Walsh.
September 13th, 2012 at 2:51 pm
George Manley – you are correct sir, High School Football does not always play out the way we think.
MtEdenHomer – I agree with George Manley, Mt Eden is not a bad team. Your running back is strong and that power running game is stout. Looking at your schedule I think Mt Eden will do well in league.
September 13th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Just to clarify, the prepfan in #81 is different than Prep Fan.
Macy is a good coach and Campo had a fantastic run last season, but I don’t think anyone was trying to put him up there with Lad or Bill Walsh.
September 13th, 2012 at 4:03 pm
Coach Macy is 93-43 (.684) going back to the 2001 season and you are right he is not Bill Walsh reincarnated and I am sure there are likely a few other public school coaches that have a higher winning percentage, though not many.
It took several years for the community of Moraga to develop a culture of appreciation for high school football. Coach Macy started a youth football camp in the late ’90s and slowly but surely, the number of kids playing football has increased at Campolindo.
Of course, like every other public school coach he is still at the mercy of what the Town will yield in terms of athletes. Right now, Campolindo is cranking out an amazing number of top flight athletes across all sports, both male and female.
Perhaps Coach Macy’s best asset has been is ability to surround himself with quality assistant coaches, who collectively, have been able to cobble together effective game plans week in and week out; and most importantly, have been able to make game time adjustments on the fly.
September 13th, 2012 at 4:34 pm
@voice of reason good perspective on coach macy let me say thats what kahn at ec is doing trying to build a program he’s just 29 years old still learning the game as far as coaching but he’s definetly headed in the right direction.I do think ec’s weakness is making game time adjustments on the fly so we will see tomorrow night.
September 13th, 2012 at 7:09 pm
DLS should drop from the EBAL. If they recruit the best out of this area then only 2nd and 3rd team players are left after DLS gets the first born from all the families. That leaves the EBAL weak from the raiding of the DLS Viking Norsemen from the North of the County.
We should then mmove to an independent schedule without any EBAL teams scheduled.
Play ALL SoCal, SJS and CCs teams plus National schedules.
Continue in the EBAL with all other sports.
The EBAL should then support DLS in their quest for NCS and state games.
September 13th, 2012 at 7:11 pm
I find this a reasonable solution. However, I for one will miss the Ebal mamas’ on the tennis court, they have great form.
September 13th, 2012 at 7:34 pm
@DJ, All coaches deal with a lot of stuff outside of the X’s & O’s so I don’t want to hear this crap about Kahn and his assistant coaches having it harder than other coaches. Either yo a** can coach or you cant. The future is not bright if you can’t win with more talent. Kahn and staff had more talent than Campo last year and what happen? DJ, let me school you on something my friend. If a coach has to depend on superior talent to win games, his a** cannot coach. They had more talent last year and didn’t have a clue on what to do with it. EC is not on the brink of nothing as long as Kahn is the head guy. DJ, if you get a chance do me a favor. Ask Kahn what in the hell were they thinking last year when their offense got stuffed twice inside the five. I guarantee you he will say, I don’t know ask the kids. Macy and his Campo team were lucky they went against Kahn built staff. Heres a clue, pound the FREAK’N ball in the POWER FREAK’N “I”. I would not have let Macy off the hook the way Kahn and his staff did. Football is cutt throat and I would have been doing the cutting. Its a rather simple concept, Kahn and his coaches are terrible. Bottom line…
September 13th, 2012 at 8:43 pm
@ real coach valid points no excuses I agree with you that Kahn is a liability and I honestly don’t think ec had more talent than campo last year but they did have better athletes campo had a better”Team” ec did not have superior talent especially at the Qb position ec was by far less superior at the most important position on the field but Macy does coach his guys up something Kahn doesn’t not do yes ec should’ve beat campo by at least 3 td’s last year.
September 13th, 2012 at 8:45 pm
another harsh potential reality. Campo is not that good- just top mnotch coaching the last several years. In high school coachiing is everything.
September 13th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
@dj and all you other haters I mean bloggers. No excuses no apologies.. Stop throwing rocks and hidin your hands… EC gone put hands and feet on whoever come watch or don’t…
September 13th, 2012 at 11:28 pm
whats really different at el cerrito? great athletes everyear kahn is terrible no doubt cuz they should be a contender in d3 everyear but it doesnt happen. hope there in good condition cuz it should be a really good game!
September 14th, 2012 at 5:49 am
Big Joe,
In regards to DLS.
Would you give your definition of the word recruit?
P.S. De La Salle is playing football this season as an
independent.
September 14th, 2012 at 7:15 am
@ A Real $&$A I’m not hatin on ec I’m a supporter I still got ec back they should’ve beat campo last year and should beat them tonite. last year they lost because of coaching u don’t run a spread offense inside 5 yard line especially when u got several explosive backs that loss was on Kahn and his staff last year I’m just saying this year ec and even next year ec has more than just good athletes they have real talent and with solid coaching sky’s the limit cause this year there are no ricmond high or de anza’s on the schedule league will be more competitive week in and week out…….and lastly to the ec/ Kahn doubters even if ec wins tonite is there anyone who would assume Kahn was a better coach than Macy? You all would say he should’ve won because of talent and if he loses the hate would continue about his coaching .I think he’s doing a good job with these kids but the reality is he needs improvement with schemes and game time adjustments which can be learned.Macy is an excellent coach but last year was the first year campo has really done anything they always solid but this years team is for the most part living off last years team accomplishments so let settle it on the field not thru the blogs.
September 14th, 2012 at 8:09 am
@ nfl And just to keep it real ec has good athletes every year not the best football players every year and that is where coaching comes in They should be where they have been the last couple years cause a lot of those teams had athletes but werent good teams period,but this year they have more than just good athletes they real football talent with a few D1players no excuse they shouldn’t go deep in d3 playoffs
September 14th, 2012 at 8:25 am
Coach Zuber and staff, real good job Zuber should be looking at coach of the year. He has got his team to buy in and work together. Logan’s defense can shut teams down and win big games. If this continues sparty might have to get ready for them, defense wins championships !!.
September 14th, 2012 at 9:23 am

September 14th, 2012 at 10:01 am
On Cal Hi sports show the Logan players were calling out dela salle saying they wanted to play them. Don’t know of any team that wants to play de la (San Ramon coach) but it was fearless to speak on it publicly with so much season left .Would anybody say that Logan’s schedule is just as tough as De La’s schedule?
September 14th, 2012 at 10:24 am
It’s too early to state definitively, but right now it would appear that Logan’s schedule isn’t as tough as DLS’s. There’s a reason Logan went independent, and although they’re only playing 4 former league teams, those teams range from bad to awful. Going strictly from Calpreps rating; Logan has the the toughest opponent in Del Oro, but the next 8 highest ranked opponents are all on DLS’ schedule. DLS #2 lowest ranked opponent, SRV, is Logan’s #3 highest. Again those ratings change weekly so anything could happen, but beyond that Logan’s opponents on the year have 4 wins total and a 16% win percentage.
September 14th, 2012 at 11:00 am
DJ, everyone wants to play DLS (yes, even the SRV coach) in order to guage where they are at and to see how they stack up with the most storied team in the history of high school football. Last place teams may not relish playing them as much good ones, but teams good enough to make the NCS championship game (Pitt, Cal, SRV) really get up for the game and hope to be the team that rises up and takes them down.
Of course, teams that play DLS may not like the results afterward, but I could see where a team like Logan is anxious to see how they would stack up.
I would hope that no one would say Logan’s schedule is as good as DLS’s. As good as Logan’s schedule is this year, and I give them major props for upgrading it, it is still not any tougher than what any team in the EBAL faces. Newark, Washington, Irvington and MSJ are 4 automatic wins, while there are no automatic wins in EBAL play.
Logan has looked great so far this year, I hope they are able to keep it going as they have been a good story. Their 35-0 blowout of SRV was very impressive. But the combined record of their opponents on their schedule this year so far is 4-21, with Newark the only one currently with a winning record. I’m sure it will improve as those teams get more games under their belts, but let’s not try to compare their schedule with the Spartans’.
September 14th, 2012 at 11:01 am
logan can talk all they want and believe the hype. that’s good for their team, but calling out dls and playing them will be 2 different things. if defense wins championships, then dls wins this game. it’s 2 diff animals. logan is good but not dls good. logan still has to prove that they will not fade throughout the season and win a playoff game. logan’s schedule is not close to how tough dls schedule is. logan plays a cupcake team this friday in heritage. i wish the best for logan, but playing dls in a scrimmage is not the same as playing them in a real game. a lot of football left to start looking past your whole season. win a playoff game first… then we’ll talk…
September 14th, 2012 at 1:09 pm
Logan may want to play De La Salle, but who would want to clean up all the strewn wreckage and carnage off the field afterwords? @ Spectator..you hit the nail on the head…pow & bang DLS 60 JL 0 that is the reality of the situation based on my calculations.
September 14th, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Congrats to Logan on their newly aquired lofty position. DLS needs to worry about MV and Cal.
In fact they need to concentrate a a very good St. Mary’s Stockton team tonite.
When the playoffs come, both teams will have to get thru the brackets first. Logan will most likely play some EBAL teams before getting to the final. MV and Cal are not SRV this year, so I would say Logan has the tougher road to hoe during playoff time. They might not make the final.
September 14th, 2012 at 10:35 pm
El cerrito 16 campolindo 14 now where the haters at now? El cerrito 4-0 campolindo 3-1
September 14th, 2012 at 11:28 pm
out at winton dr. tonite- Vitalie the differance 175 yds. Spartans need to shape up the defensive backfield and improve the QB play, especially pitches. St. Mary’s came to play. Spartans had a chance to put it away in early 4th with great field position. didn’t happen. need more pressure on opposing qb’s. need linebackers to step up and get into the backfield more, helping out with pass defense more than usual.
September 14th, 2012 at 11:51 pm
@ George Manley #76,
Are you serious when you say Mt.Eden has played some good teams? Like who? Albany? Richmond? Moreau? Who’s next? Bancroft Middle school? Manley, you need to put down the homer flag and wise up.
September 15th, 2012 at 4:15 am
Where is NFL who was calling kahn terrible???
It’s funny how cats call coaches terrible. None of these cats are terrible if they put there social time on the line to go out each day and coach kids. Kudos to all coaches.
September 15th, 2012 at 5:32 am
Logan has been using two time super bowl niner darryl pollard in the press box.
September 15th, 2012 at 6:20 am
I picked LOGAN from day one
NOw that they have MR in gonna jump a route POLLARD
cancel XMAS
See real athletes coach from experience
and no all NFL players arent real Athletes
most of them are foot soldiers
Ill REPEAT MYSELF LOGAN HAS “”"FOOTBALL SPEED”"”
September 15th, 2012 at 6:27 am
dont start TALKING ABOUT ZUBER BEING A GREAT COACH HE’S BEEN GETTING OUT COACHED 4 YEAR LOGAN HAS THE BEST ATHLETES PERIOD athletes make plays coaches make calls
September 15th, 2012 at 7:32 am
As a huge Logan supporter with links to the coaching staff, I know that they are not talking about DLS and that the team as a whole is focused on a one game at a time mentality. All this hot air in the blogs is pretty silly. They know, and you all should know, there is a lot of season in front of us.
September 15th, 2012 at 8:44 am
Mandown,nfl.,trudat and especially realcoach where yawl at ? Ec wins!!! They played a terrible game and still won where yowl at no comments ? Must be home drinking the koolaid Lol!!!
September 15th, 2012 at 10:40 am
@DJ, Read my prior post again and I stay firm on what I know about this game Bro.
EC’s OC has no clue on what he’s doing. There is no rhyme are reason to his offensive play calling. The guy is just calling plays and never referencing his big “play card” glued to his hip for anything. The running game last night was his friend and he “THOUGHT” it was the passing game in which the QB threw 4-5 picks when “MO” was ready to put Campo to sleep. The EC offensive coordinators play calling last night was drive killers. This game should have been a major blowout if the OC had a clue. To put it nicely he would struggle to score against Pop Warner teams. The talent on EC’s sideline was wayyyyyyyyy superior to Campo. That #2, #21, #3, #4, #6, #11, #8 & #1 were the most physical and talented kids on the entire field last night. I know I missed a few #’s but you get my point. The defense didn’t do to bad last night. Which ever coach thought of jamming the receivers and pushing them out of bounds gets props. The DB play of #8 and #21 as well as the LB play of #2 and #1 was solid and they are very physical. The defense also gets props on adjusting to the unbalanced run attack of Campo’s for the most part. For Macy to keep Campo in this game against the athletes EC has was remarkable. If Campo FG kicker doesn’t hook the game winning FG to the left last night you would be singing a different song today my friend. Oh and can you explain to me why EC haven’t had a PAT unit or a FG unit on the Varsity level this entire season???? I’ve seen coaches on the lowest level of POP WARNER execute PAT’s at a high level. Like I said DJ, I stand firm on my thoughts in regards to this and will cannot be swayed.
September 15th, 2012 at 12:54 pm
dj good win. every dog has his day. kahn wont take you anywhere.
September 15th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
Campo got smacked by west county!
September 15th, 2012 at 1:40 pm
Sounds like Stephen’s had a bad game. Campo blogger last year said he was superior to Houston. Can’t see Houston loosing even to talented EC. Stephen’s is a baseball player playing QB, very good but not a true QB build and wired for college.
September 15th, 2012 at 3:16 pm
@ real coach I agree with you on almost everything you said i wish u were the coach i wish u were just on the staff they should have blown campo out they do have superior talent and ec oc play calling sucks btw they do have a field kicker who has made extra points in Newark game they had 14 penalties last nite so the missed campo field goal wouldn’t have been relevant ec should’ve had at least 2 or 3 more touchdowns but qb choked threw 4 interceptions ec played a terrible game last nite they could’ve easily lost but my friend with all that being said you answer a question for me who won last nite? And in the the words of the great al Davis “just win baby” ….but coach we can talk later cause these two teams will meet again in the playoffs and expect a better game from both teams next time and if both teams hold serve campo will have to come to ec

@real coach you make a lot of sense hope u wrong about ec but u might be right jus happy for these kids cause for me it’s not really about them winning a championship but that Kahn will be sending several of these kids from Richmond hood to college and some to d1 schools that’s to me bigger than any win on the field ….but I love high school football and love to talk high school football it ain’t nothing personal

@DJ, when you’ve been involved or around the game as long as I’ve been you don’t take this stuff personal. I know what I’m talking about and I have the creditals, accolades and achievements behind my name. Glad you wish I was on the staff because last night I would have introduced the TB screen to Campo when they were flying up field LOL. And are you sure its Kahn sending some of these Richmond kids to D1 colleges are is it their parents? I know of a parent that makes sure his boy understands that its STUDENT/athlete first not the other way around. And his son football skills are a by-product of his grades in which this is the real reason why he’s getting attention from D1 recruiters. And I couldn’t agree with you more in regards to how important it is to get the Richmond kids off the streets and into college. I coached a number of kids from Richmond and will never forget a kid by the name of “Scobby” Omar Williams. The kid was beyond his time in football but the streets are 4 real. With that being said, I love your energy as well as your understanding with most post so keep doing what you’re doing my friend. TRC…

You guys are taking this WAAAAAY to serious. These kids are just trying to have fun and live life playing football. Out of the top 25 teams in northern Cali, MAYBE 5 total players will play significant snaps at 4 year colleges. Give the kids a break.

@ Joe knowing some of the kids at ec it is more than just football true many of these kids won’t make it big in football but they will be able to get an education which is serious a lot of the kids parents don’t have the money of the parents at campo so football is their ticket to college so yes the kids are having fun but with an eye towards the future @n ya I wanna see the polls also
