October 19th, 2012 at 10:27 pm
MV got a 2 X 4 upside their head at OO field tonight. A physical beat down from the opening KO hit.
October 19th, 2012 at 10:46 pm
I think one person said MV might have a chance. It certainly wasn’t a consensus. It pretty much went as most expected. No surprise there.
October 19th, 2012 at 11:06 pm
Coach P. gets ME over Alameda also.
October 20th, 2012 at 12:54 am
Man some big surprises tonight. O’dowd loses to Hayward, Concord fall to Clayton Valley Charter. Richmond beats Albany, maybe not a big surpise but man thought Richmond might not get one Waht a day.
October 20th, 2012 at 1:22 am

October 20th, 2012 at 8:28 am
A “structural advantage” is brewing at Clayton Valley. The proof is in the dominating wins.
October 20th, 2012 at 9:12 am
kemp sucks, rock sucks. Bring in an outsider.
October 20th, 2012 at 9:19 am
oof another loss for the Hornets. Bring back Hennessee!
October 20th, 2012 at 10:03 am
They could have hired peronon instead of moyer dont know how moyer resume stacks up vs peronon but the ahs hiring choose the wrong guy.
October 20th, 2012 at 10:16 am
OK, someone’s got to rip on O’Dowd for laying an egg against Hayward!
Trivia question: What is the most humiliating loss O’Dowd has suffered in the past decade?
…OK I don’t know, but I’m wondering if “Hayward – 2012″ is the correct answer!
And I don’t even want to hear that they were missing their #1 QB. All teams have to play hurt and they did have their All-World DB/WR and #2 QB King back. So no excuses!
But honestly, I’ve felt all year that Hayward had a good game or two in them. They did beat San Leandro and that’s a step up for them. But this? WOW!
October 20th, 2012 at 10:27 am
15. MiraMan:
i think the answer to your question about odowds most humiliating loss is not a game. its losing thier minds and letting perenon go. that program will slowly decline under nickerson and last night was a big indication of that.
October 20th, 2012 at 10:38 am
alot of upsets last nite
which was the biggest
these new league are showing all the fans who is really who LMAO
October 20th, 2012 at 10:47 am
The boys played one hell of a game last night and Coach P knocked one out of the park on the 2 point call. Well done Monarchs.
October 20th, 2012 at 11:11 am
An embarassing defeat. The issue that troubles me the most is that Hayward was not a good team. Nickerson will fail again in the NCS. Congrats to Coach P! Look at what he’s done in just a couple of seasons with a losing program.
In the same time that we witnessed Perenon bring Mt.Eden back to life. We have watched Nickerson kill O’Dowd’s good values & principles of morality and now in his 3rd year, he’s losing to teams we should defeat rather easily. Our moral character is contaminated with his poisonous views on how to play the game of football. We are rotting away on the inside under his leadership. He is a bad virus for for the morality of our school. The soul of Dragon football is dirty and needs to be cleaned. Or we should at least not be hypocritical in preaching morality on campus and in life, but not in the game of football.
October 20th, 2012 at 11:24 am
With regards to BOD missing their starting QB…I believe Campolindo is missing their’s as well. It doesn’t take rocket science to figure out which team is adjusting well and which team is struggling. It’s obvious that it comes down to coaching not the athletes.
October 20th, 2012 at 11:27 am
NCS screwed a few teams in playoff brackets last year.. what is this years D1 brackets gonna look like? 1-4 so far seem like a lock but what about after that??
1 – DLS
2 – Logan
3- MVista barring any late season collapse
4 – Cal same comment as above
5 – 9 who the hell will it be? Freedom, Foothill, Pitt, SRV, DV,
Might be Freedom but they barely beat Pitt, can they beat DV? Could of been Foothill but they lost to SRV and Freedom. Could be Pitt if Dv beats Freedom next week. Is SRv making a late season push.. DV is a stretch for 5…
How will 5-9 end up… .am I missing any contenders??
October 20th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
Mira- Odowd biggest loss of the year. Glad to see my boy Anderson for Miramonte
back in the saddle- 4 tds ain’t nothin’ to sneeze at.
Last nite it was a massacree like Daniel Boone says out at Winton Dr. There’s a couple of Spartans bustin’ some heads out there- one a very underated east bay best back in Vitale and another a USC bound Hutch with lots of bone-jarring tackles, plus the rest of the DLS team. Don’t beleive all these DeLa detractors.
YoMama knows.
October 20th, 2012 at 1:49 pm
YoMama,
Anderson did look great! Actually the entire team looked great. I know the comp wasn’t anything, but we not only scored at will, but kept them out of the endzone, even on some short-field situations late in the game where they got the ball on turnovers caused by backups.
I’m feeling like the entire team is now locked-down and ready to make a run. O-line, receivers and kicker have always been strong. Against Marin Catholic it became clear that DBs were solid, not great but solid. Then we made some changes to LB corps and now we have the best starting LBs in DFAL. Now with the old MLB moving to D-end and some other changes, our D-line is pretty solid as became evident in the Acalanes game. Running game getting a little better each week. Last night was like the last piece of the puzzle: starting QB back!
Still have to prove it on the field beating Las Lomas and Alhambra. If we can’t do that then none of it matters!
I have mixed feeling on DLS. I have nothing against their program, but sometimes I feel it would breath some new life into NCS D1 if they were to get beat. But hey, not their fault no one can step up and get it done.
I also see Nakita Zamora’s father/guardian around so I certainly wished him the best against DLS.
October 20th, 2012 at 2:25 pm
Dougherty Valley and San Leandro may both go 0-10.
October 20th, 2012 at 2:46 pm
Pitt better be careful with Heritage….if a 2-6 team can peak..they are.Heritage always plays tough against Pitt..Young kids look like they are coming together.
October 20th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
Was at the Hayward game last night, and you just have to hand it to the Farmers – great grit in hanging around, and just enough defense to get the job done. Odowd dominated the first half, and were inside the 5 yard line 4 times, but could only come away with 7 points (a missed field, goal, a stuffed run, and an interception in the end zone). The backup QB #5 is a great athlete, but not a very strong quarterback. With O’dowd’s first string QB, this game would not have been close.
In the second half, Hayward came out in a double wing formation and just jammed it down BOD’s throat. Strangely, Coach Nickerson never adjusted. Coach Barnes simply outcoached him, as the Farmers broke off 5-10 yards a run in two long scoring drives. BOD was plagued with penalties, missed throws, and dropped passes. Even with all that, they should have won it with a chip shot field goal that was missed. Great win for Hayward on Seniors night, brutal loss for O’Dowd.
October 20th, 2012 at 6:21 pm
At this point….it looks as though Dougherty and San Leandro may not win a game. I guess those players and coaching staff have some souls searching to do.
October 20th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
@ #5 Prep Fan….believe that would be Big Easy in an earlier thread but out of respect for many of his good posts perhaps he was prognosticating further ahead..MV
….Mission Viejo, perhaps?
October 20th, 2012 at 9:15 pm
That would be giving him the benefit of the doubt. 8)
October 20th, 2012 at 9:21 pm
Old Dragon Fan –
I wouldn’t say Mt. Eden has been brought back to life by Perenon. They haven’t beaten a single team of any worth. In fact, their best win is against a 2-6 Alameda team that calpreps gives a -11 rating.
I also don’t think Nickerson is a bad coach. He’s won 2 HAAL championships in 2 years. They’ve played a very hard schedule and are 6-2. And friday night’s loss to Hayward was a freak loss.
Either that, or Hayward is better than we think.
October 20th, 2012 at 10:32 pm
SL vs Encinal for the Foothill division cellar. What’s with Encinal’s offense, this game might end in a zero – zero tie. SL’s last chance to avoid an 0-10 season. DV will go 0-10. Albany will finish 0-10. Anyone have the St Liz/Emery score from today? St Liz’s only chance of not going 0-10 is either today’s Emery game or Stellar Prep next week. And last but not least (actually they are least) Elsie Allen will finish as the worst team in NCS having already lost to Emery 22-0 and only scoring 20 points on the season through 8 games.
October 20th, 2012 at 10:35 pm
Allen has lost its last four games by a combine score of 217-0.
October 20th, 2012 at 11:56 pm
With all due respect to old dragon fan. BOD is still a true force to be reckoned with. Playing a tough schedule sometimes teams can play well and sneak up on you. Lets not forget Perenons last couple years at BOD, not very impressive, they werent very good. Lost to a not good at all Skyline team that year. Ended up 4-6. still made playoof i think. And COach P is doing well at Mt. Eden, but also with a watered down schedule, loos to a terrible Oakland high team, beat an even more terrible mt Diablo, Alameda team, and a horrible Albany team. Not too impressive with that schedule, but what i impressive is them going to a watered down schedule to help build confidence within the team. thats is smart when ur trying to build and tewam from the bottom up. U try to build the kids confidence up with some wins. But I wouldnt go so far as to compare what he is doing there to Nickerson bringing o dowd down. thats just words of a tru hater, with all due respect.
October 20th, 2012 at 11:58 pm
Oh and they beat Richmond right??? 1-7. Will they get in with those victories??
October 21st, 2012 at 10:13 am
I will weigh in on the BOD loss, which I saw most of on Friday night. I think WAACed above hit it pretty well. The game really should have been over at halftime. I would also argue that BOD losing their QB is worse for them than Campo losing Stephens because Macy is just a better coach, with a more game-ready backup. This is not to hate on Hardy, who is a very good high school coach, but just doesn’t seem to be a great game manager. QB Miroglio is pretty good. A 3-year starter, league MVP. Pretty hard to replace with a defensive back, no matter how good an athlete. Just tough luck for BOD this year. If they get QB back for the playoffs, they will be a team you don’t want to face.
October 21st, 2012 at 10:42 am
miraman bod worst lost was when he lost to the great jacob wright from san lorenzo. that loss and nickerson backroom dealings is what lead to his dismisle. bod is underachieving i know the qb went down but please for a catholic school who can recruit there not where they should be. we saw what happen when valley christian came to town. st.i had been beating up bod for yrs. i also remember cardinal newman came to 98th and beat’m good those are all good teams no doubt. they just dont measure up to the top catholic schools in the bay area and i dont see why!
October 21st, 2012 at 11:19 am
U jackass B.O.D. is in oakland on 98th
dont act like u dont understand that its difficult 2 coach in oakland NO ONE DRIVING 30 MILE 2 DROP THERE KID OFF IN A WAR ZONE oakland is the 3rd worst city in the whole f-ing country Bod has a great staff far more football knowledge than coach P (NOW U CANT COACH INSTINT AND U CAN MAKE A KID HAVE HEART THAT COMES FROM THE INSIDE SO STOP HATE ING)
October 21st, 2012 at 11:29 am
Billjohnson,
Yea, its tough for me to see how O’Dowd is without a suitable backup QB. Even if King is a great QB, which it doesn’t sound like he is, it still disrupts your team dynamics to pull one of your top two-way players out of his normal position to put him at QB. Then they have to pull up their JV QB who’s clearly not ready??? By way of comparison, Miramonte usually goes three deep at QB with perhaps one of them being primarily a position player. This year we have four guys on varsity that could QB at a moments notice – though some better than others.
What happened to Channing Nesbitt? I thought he was their backup…and some said as good a Mariglio (sp)?? Did he quit to focus on baseball?
In any case, seems like piss-poor-planning!
October 21st, 2012 at 1:29 pm
chalk- been getting along with you lately- however the statement on Coach P and O’Dowd needs some clarification. You are right, no one driving 30 mi. to go to O’Dowd unless it’s basketball.
Coach P was an ex- prep QB, has 211 wins, 5th all time in NorCal and some pretty good football insight. Nickerson ex-pro and Cal but a linebacker, he’s a defensive guy. If P came back and took the O and Nick had the D O’Dowd would be a strong contender in NCS.
However, as I said before, the men of O’Dowd were women in the ’70′s to a St. Mary’s man.
October 21st, 2012 at 2:50 pm
bigDOG
i measure coaching by how much u over achieve
any one can give a super star the ball and watch him run!!!! how many wins does he have with inferior teams
nick inherited an inferior team
October 21st, 2012 at 3:54 pm
marin catholic should move to the tri-county rock league and drop berean to the stone.great match ups with el cerrito pinole valley plus catholic schools salesian st.mrys.
October 21st, 2012 at 3:54 pm
Cmon chalktalk. More pros outta Oakland than anywhere. Recruits are just down the block. Should be a dynasty at BOD.
October 21st, 2012 at 4:13 pm
MOST OF THESE SO CALLED RECRUITS HAVE THEE MOST IGNORANT PARENT U HAVE EVER SEEN WITH THE KID COMES the parent lack of morals and structure ur asking 4 trouble!!! but i guess thats y its called recruiting

Question for everyone how would you determine the best QB in a league? based on league games only.
Qb rateing
Yardage
Yards per completion
Win loss record
TD to int
What’s your take?
October 22nd, 2012 at 12:45 pm
#45. Stats can be misleading. I think QB’s should be judged on their performances against quality defenses. Not against defenses who give up an average of 28 points or more.
October 22nd, 2012 at 1:47 pm
Same goes for any other offensive position. I believe true ballers step up in these situations. Just my opinion.
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:03 pm
Bod even without starting qb has no business losing to Hayward period they shouldve won that game no excuses.Is there any word on starting qb’s return? is he coming back for playoffs? 2nd round exit without qb
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:10 pm
Maxpreps has Ec ranked #1 in d3 over Cn Mc and campo but I think of the 3 the ncs ranks Mc 1 Cn 2 Ec 3 Campo 4
October 22nd, 2012 at 7:29 pm
Re #45
Interesting question C/O98, probably not a popular opinion but I think each coach should evaluate how the QB performs against them. Therefore, When an outstanding QB like BOD’s and Campo’s get hurt half way through their league I don’t see how they could be All League.
October 22nd, 2012 at 7:40 pm
DJ,
One thing to consider is CN has two tough game remaining in Rancho and Casa while MC and EC have softies. If CN loses one, then they drop to #3. If they win out, I think they get #1. Either way I think EC gets #2. Just my opion, but I think the seeding committee will want an undefeated EC #1 or #2, but since both of the northern power teams have much tougher schedules is hard to justify #1 for EC, so I think the net result is:
#1 CN if undefeated or MC if both have one loss
#2 EC as long as they go undefeated
#3 CN if they lose one, MC is CN wins-out
#4 Campo doubtful they’ll lose one to DV or Dublin
#5 Analy soft schedule, should go 10-0
#6 O’Dowd could still drop another game, then what?
#7 Novato? assuming 7-3 w/win over Tam, their win over Justin Siena might get them the nod for this spot, though not sure its deserved!
#8 Tennyson – Yea I said it! Even with their tissue soft schedule a 9-1 finish may get them in the top 8. They will still likely go one-and-done.
#9 & #10 Acalanes and Miramonte assumes both win remaining games and for Miramonte that is less certain
#11 & #12 Tam & Encinal – Encinal could still drop one or both remaining games, so who knows, but they’ll still deserve higher ranking than anyone else
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:13 pm
stats were incorrect for qb Anderson for Mira Friday nite. He threw 5 tds, not 4.
October 22nd, 2012 at 10:12 pm
D3, De la, whatever… Clayton Valley vs Northgate is game of the week… maybe of the year (until regionals). I’m there for sure.
