People on here talk very highly about pitt when they have alot of personal foul penalties. I really think Victor Galli is not a good x’s and 0′s coach. Didnt even pass the ball the whole game and in the end and it bit pitt in the butt because they needed to pass when they had the ball but they didnt have any shotgun formation at the end of the game. Terrible play calling on his part. Very smart for freedom to know to punt them the ball and force pitt to throw.
Another thing pitt sacked dante mayes in the 2nd or 3rd quarter a pitt player punched him at the end of the play in the stomach. The pitt coaches acted like it was legal to punch a player on the opposing team. Are you kidding me? Victor Galli was sticking up for his player? why? This is the first time i seen a coach encourage that foul play.
Pitt was getting away with stepping on the opposing players while trying to block a FG. That is illegal in H.S. Football to do that. For some strange reason the refs were not calling that.

Alhambra 24 Dublin 7…..The Bulldogs had a tough time running against Dublin’s middle line, but it was a 52 yard pass and a 80 yard pass with a 70 yard run by Poydule and a field goal that did Dublin in…The Bulldogs had two TD’s called back and lost two more chances and maybe more for more scoring due to a excess amount of pentalities….
October 12th, 2012 at 11:41 pm
Cal by 3 over SRV huh? This is going to be interesting for the rest of the EBAL. Even more interesting for Logan with that romp over SRV. Heritage’s win over antioch?? WOW
October 12th, 2012 at 11:53 pm
Like I said Piedmont is a very tough place to play. They play twice as hard at home. Can’t believe you Hornet followers dismissed them as an easy win.Serves you right to keep losing games & believing you can just turn the corner & put together wins. I guess that Encinal loss is one of those losses that can end a season. The coaches have lost their team.
October 13th, 2012 at 12:25 am
Cal beats SRV for the 5th time in the last 6 meetings. This was very similar to last week’s MV game, as neither team could stop the other. Cal was lucky enough to have the ball last and was able to just take a knee deep in SRV territory to run out the final minute and a half. Karris Johnson showing once again he is the best back in the EBAL, rushing for 347 yards with 4 TDs including an 80 yard burst. Cal ran for 475 yards against the Wolves.
Birse looked great for SRV and moved the ball at will over the last 3 quarters, but SRV just ran out of time after falling behind early and never were able to get the lead. SRV had 2 inopportune fumbles that were both recovered by the Grizz, one deep in Cal territory and the other inside their own 10 which were back breakers. Great game to watch if you weren’t a defensive coach.
So there are 4 teams in the EBAL now with 1 loss, Cal, MV, SRV & Foothill. Of the 4, Cal has what would be considered the easiest road with Livermore next week and Granada to finish out, but those 2 aren’t as easy as they sound as Cal lost to Granada last season and only beat the Cowboys by a point.
MV beat Cal head to head, but still has to face AV and then finish with SRV in the rivalry game, so their road looks to be harder than Cal’s. Foothill also faces both SRV and AV, and has a trip to Livermore in between. SRV still must face Foothill and MV, probably the hardest road of the 4. Buckle up for some more offensive battles in the closing weeks of the EBAL season.

Chalk- you must be refering to San Leandro.
October 13th, 2012 at 11:23 am
DeLa still winning big with starters Moffit, Hooper out. Good depth on defense. Good time to rest with playoffs coming soon.

Forgot Liberty, add them to the list. Don’t want them to slip by us.
October 13th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
Tennyson and Arroyo was a good game last night. Hard hitting football. Tennyson have some good RB’s and Arroyo Defense was fast! Tennyson defense was fast too! Just a good game. Would love to see the D2 match up with Arroyo vs Alameda. Size vs Speed
October 13th, 2012 at 12:09 pm
has alameda won a game this year?
October 13th, 2012 at 12:29 pm
I wouldn’t put Encinal on that list. Rebuilding year. Very competetive. They are playing all D-1 schools. Other then top 3 in the D3 play-offs Encinal won’t see athletes equal to B-High, Rodriguez, Vallejo, CV & Hayward. Have them & Tennyson switch schedules they are exactly the same. Might even beat Acalanes.
October 13th, 2012 at 12:36 pm
Kemper kemper kemper unbelievable now where losing to d4 schools! Bring back the rock! How can we call ourselves “a team football” when were in the b league!
October 13th, 2012 at 12:40 pm
I think Tennyson vs Encinal would be a good match up for playoffs. Encinal do have a hard schedule tho. Would like to see those teams go at it. They both beat alameda
October 13th, 2012 at 12:52 pm
Mark Tennis all-time coaches wins to start 2012

October 13th, 2012 at 1:27 pm
Tough one jets keep battling doesnt look good for berkeley come ncs struggle on offense vs a small young school they will definitly be one n done. Damn alameda women those bsal teams are tough 0-2 vs them huh. Didnt san lorenzo beat piedmont?!?!
October 13th, 2012 at 1:52 pm
Reggie, ok I will take them off if they beat CV.
Remember next 3 games are weak teams especially SL and Hayward. Jets got a forfeit against Castlemont.
Losing to lousy BHS is no accomplishment. Beating a lousy Alameda team is no big deal except it was the island bowl. Encinal lost to Serra 56-07. Vallejo was a terrible team in recent years, no big win here. Now if the Jets win the next 3 they finish with 7 wins and get a playoff berth. That would be a good season for a challenged team. They have only 97 pts. scored in 8 games. They could surprise a team or two in playoffs but the offense has to come alive real quick.
October 13th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
I make no point for Encinal being a good team. But B-High is D1 Rodriguez is a D1 team. Put them both in he D3 16 team pool where do they stack up? I heard from Deer Valley coaches that Rodriguez had some very good looking kids. B-high plays d3 where do they stack up? Top 3 top 4. Guess we’ll find out when they play BOD. Too bad no EC match up this year. If B-High is top 4 EHS played them too OT. Read into it what you will. With these A & B leagues & all A league teams playing tough non-leagues its hard to judge. Don’t give teams like Tennyson any respect for playing nobody.
October 13th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
Rodriquez was good for a couple of years with the Riggins boys and others, they had some div 1 players. BHS is a shambles for many years.
You are correct- some of these B teams are going to make the playoffs and again correct they are not playing anyone. However, some of these teams have been no good for years and they couldn’t continue to take the beatings from bigger schools. There are div 3 and div 4 teams that I have seen which could beat div 1 teams, depends on the program and talent level for the year- this year not too many div 3 or 4 beating div 1 – but Marin Catholic and Cardinal Newman could beat a lot of div 1 teams, in fact most of them.
October 13th, 2012 at 5:36 pm
Reggie, Tennyson creamed Alameda last week, and beat Arroyo last night. They also played Acalanes tough. They deserve a little respect at least.
October 13th, 2012 at 6:14 pm
tj maybe if tennyson would step up there non league until then they beaten nobody. if they want respect win a game in ncs!
October 13th, 2012 at 6:28 pm
TJ,
Look at calpreps.
-28
-13.3
17.3
-19.7
-10.1
-8
3.5
AVG strength of a Tennyson opponent: -8.3
It’s not difficult when you only have to “get up” for 2 games a season. Tennyson deserves respect when they’ve played a respectable schedule.
I have/will have WAY more respect for San Leandro, Hayward, Berkeley, Encinal, Castro Valley even if they end the season with worse records.
Those teams went out and played good teams. Tennyson scheduled cupcakes because they knew their league was on the baker’s shelf.
October 13th, 2012 at 6:40 pm
seat gets hotter every week coach perry keeps getting it done while moyer continues making excuses. i told you gardner at qb 70yds to the house but he’s never been given a fair shot at the job i wonder why?
October 13th, 2012 at 8:15 pm
What number is Gardner?
October 13th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
Perry is the OC at AHS?
October 14th, 2012 at 1:12 am
Big Dog, if you add Liberty, better also add Hayward and College Park, since the Lions beat the Farmers, and Hayward beat CP. Also Ygnacio on the list, then.
October 14th, 2012 at 7:11 am
Big Joe post #20
Noticed two things from your list, Lad sure has won a boat load of games, wow. A reminder of really how great he has been as if we didnt already know and Sweeney’s the only one who has been at a public high school for all his wins. To do it at a public is equally amazing. If you divide Sweeneys 214 wins coming into this season by 24 completed seasons you get an averavge of 8.91 wins per year. Two coaches, two pretty remarkable standards.
October 14th, 2012 at 2:46 pm
Big Dog,
How are Encinal, SL, Berkeley, and Liberty in trouble?
Have them and Tennyson switch schedules and they are all 7-0/6-1.
Or take Antioch’s schedule. DV crushed AHS but only beat SL by 2 td’s.
According to your logic, better teams play weaker schedules and get more praise for it. Ask any coach in the WAAC who wanted in and who wanted out of the A league.
Encinal is a D3 public school playing in the “A” league with DI schools. Alameda, Tennyson, Arroyo all ran away from that league. Tenorio didn’t. Give credit where credit is due.
October 14th, 2012 at 4:51 pm
EB Football Coach – good point. DV did crush Antioch. I saw a couple of their other games – College Park and Liberty both played DV tougher than Antioch did. In fact, the only team that DV beat worse than Antioch was Rodriguez. This week should be a great game with DV and Pitt, but don’t be surprised if DV takes it to the Pirates. They have the d-line to stop Pitt’s run and the speed and offensive explosive ability to put up major points. The QB is flat out getting it done.
October 14th, 2012 at 6:12 pm
EB football coach
cv sl and berkley are D1
but are not power houses by any means
so brraging that ur in the A league of the cream puff league is laughable at best………
get a win then talk!!!!!
October 14th, 2012 at 6:31 pm
In DIv 3 there are currently 9 teams undefeated in their leagues. The top 6 teams according to calpreps and then Tennyson, Hercules, and Petaluma. Hercules and Petaluma aren’t even in the top 16. Analy will knock Petaluma off, but Hercules could sneak in as a League Champion. They shouldn’t be seeded higher than 11 so they would still have to play away, unless CN loses to RC or Windsor and finds themselves in the #3 seed and Hercules gets #14. Wouldn’t that suck Gil?
October 14th, 2012 at 6:38 pm
Actually there is a tenth. If Eureka beats Arcata then they would also be an LC.
October 14th, 2012 at 11:03 pm
Somebody tell me why Encinal fans are crying about playing in the A league. The A league is not much better than the B league. Give tenorio credit for what? San Leandro, Berkeley and Hayward are terrible this year. Bishop O’Dowd lost their QB, Castro Valley is ok, but this league ain’t the EBAL.
October 15th, 2012 at 12:33 am
This week in the WACC
Piedmont @ Tennyson
If Tennyson can nip the penalty bug this ones a blowout
Tennyson 28 Piedmont 10
Arroyo @ San Lorenzo @ Arroyo
Arroyo bounces back after a tough loss to Tennyson. How much does SLZ have left in the tank after being physically abused by Mt. Eden last week. Also Arroyo has owned this cross town rivalry as of late.
Arroyo 24 San Lorenzo 6
Mt. Eden @ Alameda
It appears Mt. Eden has found itself as a physical run heavy team with just enough of a passing game now to move the chains when need be. Alameda seems to be trying to find themselves still since there loss to the Jets. Mt. Eden beat up SLZ , SLZ beat up on Piedmont , and Piedmont out lasted Alameda.
Mt. Eden 24 Alameda 13
October 15th, 2012 at 8:14 am
who’s crying? every Encinal game that I’ve been to has been well worth the price of admission.
October 15th, 2012 at 8:38 am
Foothill
Encinal @ Castro Valley
Encinal continues to struggal. Perhaps they blew there wad on Alameda. Castro Valley is easily the 2nd best team in the division and i see them running the table from here on out
Encinal 20 Castro Valley 36
Bishop O’Dowd @ Hayward
Hayward’s only shot at winning is to knock King out of the game and get the JV QB back under center
Bishop O’Dowd 42 Hayward 12
San Leandro @ Berkeley
Since beginning league play Berkeley has found ways to win. And San Leandro is still looking for that elusive 1 st victory
San leandro 14 Berkeley 13
October 15th, 2012 at 8:42 am
#30
gardner has stone hands and fumbled a snap that went the 80 yards the other. you have to question his leadership skills as well
October 15th, 2012 at 10:09 am
Who is the Encinal fan? All I know is Barnes, Smith, and Moyer all asked to be put in the “B” league while Tenorio chose to go up. For that he gets respect.
You say the league’s aren’t that different? You think Tennyson could hang with DV? You think Arroyo could put up 34 points against Cal? You’re right, it’s not the EBAL, but there’s a HUGE gap between the two leagues.
Maybe there should be an intraleague playoff where the teams play each other based on their rankings. Tennyson vs O’dowd? CV vs Arroyo? Berkeley vs Piedmont? Encinal vs Alameda? Hayward vs Mt. Eden? San Leandro vs SLZ?
That’s not even fair. In fact, I’d take the #6 Foothill team against the #1 Shoreline team. San Leandro would stomp a mudhole in Tennyson.
Don’t be angry because your team can’t get it done after moving from a bad league to a worse one. Sure, the WAAC Foothill isn’t the EBAL or BVAL, no one is saying it is, but it’s beyond your level.
October 15th, 2012 at 10:55 am
The Wacc b-league division is a big joke and all those teams would lose to all 6 teams in the a-league guarenteed. Compare the schedules of the a-league to the b-league and you will see why records are the way they are. Anyone who says Encinal is no good is mistaken. If you have played them you know you’re in for a battle for 4 quarters. I though we would win by at least 2 touchdowns but that team is tough. I know because I seen it with my own eyes. Joey has those kids playing hard and they stood strong against us even though they hella young.
October 15th, 2012 at 11:34 am
Island Chief just the man I wanted to talk too. Whats going on with the Hornets is the Encinal loss still effecting them? You were so cocky thinking you would win your last 4 were those Piedmont boys tough like I said? Alameda Piedmont old school rivalry.
October 15th, 2012 at 1:10 pm
What about the fact that Hayward and Tennyson were originally scheduled to play a week 0 game at Tennyson. Hayward at the last second decided they wanted to play at home (sunset) instead of playing at Tennyson like they mutually agreed. Hayward instead pulls out of the game and schedules Ygnacio Valley instead. Until 2010, Tennyson has never made the playoffs so to say they haven’t done anything in the playoffs is premature. In 2010 they were 4-6 and played #1 Ricky Lloyd-led Concord in the first round then to #5 Miramonte last year.
October 15th, 2012 at 7:19 pm
My nephew plays freshman at Alameda he told me varsity took the jv qb today at practice. What about this ernest kid i’ m readimg about ? Var has no backups ? Whats goimg on over there. Should i pull my nephew ?
October 15th, 2012 at 7:43 pm
what are the combined records of BHS, SL, Hayward. Alameda, CV and Encinal?
October 15th, 2012 at 8:19 pm
14-28
October 15th, 2012 at 8:50 pm
#45.. im not so sure that San Leandro would beat up on Tennyson, but it would be a close one.
October 15th, 2012 at 9:45 pm
All those teams (with the exception of Alameda) play the better WCAL, EBAL, DVAL, and BVAL teams in non league. None of the A league teams are punks and I see them all getting better through the years and in the playoffs because they all put themselves to the test.
October 15th, 2012 at 9:49 pm
Yeah, alameda only plays weak teams like encinal.
October 16th, 2012 at 1:40 am
MVAL Fan, So thats what happened to the Tennyson Vs Hayward Game. I was wondering why that game didnt happen. Hayward really stop the Rivalary?
October 16th, 2012 at 8:34 pm
I walk into the break room at my job and someone posts the Piedmont score on the bulletin board. I come on this blog and Encinal fans are posting lies about how we begged are way into the b division. We get accused of being cocky, We will win out. We will make the playoffs. We will go further than Encinal. At the end of the season, thats all that matter. Alameda is better than Encinal. The Island bowl 97 yard run was a miracle was a fluke. We dominated the ame. Could have blown the game wide open in the 2nd half.
Encinal fans believe Tenorio should get a trophy for opting up into the foothill. Saying kemp begged down. I talked to a few coaches and they say ithe divisions were based on enrollment and the success of a program. I checked on cal preps and gathered this.
Calpreps enrollment
Foothill
Berkeley 3239, DI ncs playoffs every year
Castro Valley 2937, DI playoffs last few years
San Leandro 2731, league titles
Hayward, 1645, league titles and made playoffs many times
Encinal, 1269, league titles and playoffs last 5 years in a row, ncs d3 title game 2 of 3 years
Bishop O’Dowd, 1146, league titles and many playoffs under perenon 200 wins
Shoreline
Arroyo, 1899, playoffs every year
Mt.Eden 1,861, no playoffs in years, but improving under perenon
Alameda, 1855, lost in the 1st round of playoffs in 2 of last 3 years
San Lorenzo, 1,624, no playoffs in years
Tennyson, 1332, made playoffs the last 2 years
Piedmont, 827, made playoffs last year, inventors of the A-11
If its based on enrollment then Arroyo and Mt. Eden should have gone up before we did.
If its based on success than Arroyo should move up before we do.
If its based on both enrollment and success then they got it right. So stop crying.
The Foothill division only has 2 good teams: Castro Valley and Bishop O’Dowd. The rest would lose 2 to 3 games in the foothill division.
Foothill
October 16th, 2012 at 9:18 pm
@island chief- Shut up alameda high is not better then Encinal you guys lost to piedmont thats pretty sad bro. And you guys will not make playoffs and Encinal will go to round 2 in the playoffs thats the highest they can go. I hate encinal but all i know you is not better then them. They should move the JV head coach up to be the head coach for varsity he don’t run what kemper runs the JV head coach is way better then Kemper the JV head coach wins game lol he blitz all day against encinal Offence thats why they won 56-7 the jv coach is way better then Kemper.
October 16th, 2012 at 9:28 pm
Island Chief,
Believe what you want. I’m not an Encinal fan, I’m a fan of good coaches and teams that play hard for 4 quarters.
Good luck against Mt. Eden. Hope you get your 3rd win. With a schedule like yours you truly deserve a playoff berth.
I spoke to a coach who was at the meeting right after it was over. He named 2 coaches who wanted into the B league right away. Both were challenged by the other coaches, but both refused to go up.
I’ll let you guess who one of them was. Enjoy the mediocrity.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:26 pm
Tennyson & Alameda?
October 17th, 2012 at 10:11 am
island chief you are a complete loser. How are you better than encinal? Your 0-2 vs bsal teams you clown! I hope you do make the playoff get cotate or concord maybe northgate that would be sweet. Are you even playing northgate next year? I hope you run the table but it aint sayn much vs mt.eden slz arroyo but arroyo will smack you guys in the mouth. Believe what you want but moyer knows when he goes to bed he asked down. Probably just didnt think his team could hang with what he had coming back i guess.
