Go Gauchos!

Suggestion..new writers covering games next year..having a 1 play update a drive when people are supposed to be “reporting the game” is unacceptable…who’s with me??
November 23rd, 2012 at 8:05 pm
I think the writers do the best they can with limited staff and lack of support from the paper in general. Live updates are fastest from the actual game – maybe you should attend the games you are interested in. My 2 cents.

November 23rd, 2012 at 8:58 pm
Yeah, give the writers a break. They can’t be at every game updating every single play/score. That’s why they often ask help from us fans at the games to tweet them any updates. If you really have a problem with the way East Bay Preps does it, you should help them out.

DeLa 49-00 over Amador Valley. I’m walkin’ my dogs odwn to the Pleaston Hotel for a drink. Someone said on this blog if Amador had a near perfect game they would beat DLS. Defense controlled AV QB all nite like a radio controlled car for Xmas.
November 23rd, 2012 at 10:28 pm
Glad Granite Bay rolled Franklyn. More proof that Pitt should have been ranked higher than MV, AV, Foothill, and SRV. Outside of AV beating Freedom in the first game of the year those teams beat no one but EBAL teams. NCS needs to stop basing these ranknings on how a team does against the EBAl. Especially for games at the begining of the year. Before anyone gives a lame “well MV blew out Pitt” excuse. MV lost 3 games in a row to finish the year and Pitt blasted them in round one. Glad for DLS… see yall in the State championship rep’n the Yay Area!!!

El Cerrito Handles Analy
El Cerrito…07…12…14…07…40
Analy……..00…00…07…14…20
The Gaucho defense put plenty of pressure on the Tiger QB to the point he was on the run most of the night and had little time to pass…In the mean time EC’ QB took several pages out of the tigers play book and used it against them, hitting his backs and recievers behind good protection….The EC speed was another factor and the way the EC QB managed to escape defenders took its toll….This was a all team effort despite all the penalities EC racked up as it didn’t change the outcome at all….There was a standing room only for El Cerrito and a very large crowd for Analy…
November 23rd, 2012 at 11:09 pm
Enough with the complaints about PITT! Win your league first for crying out loud and beat your inter-section opponents! Yeah you beat GB, but thats irrelevant to NCS! You guys were great this year. But all this whining about biased seeding getting ridiculous! Put Pitt in the 6 or 7th seed and and you wouldda had faced either cal again, or Logan who took care of freedom. Just stop!
November 23rd, 2012 at 11:25 pm
Ec totally dominated Analy,they shut down the Analy receivers and QB .all the while the offense used its speed to run away from Analy defense……Kind of disappointing end when the Analy coaches didn’t allow their players to shake hands with Ec players and coach .Very poor sportsmanship but shoutout to Analy Qb who went into Ec locker room to congratulate the Ec team the only Analy player to do so……Ec defense dominant
November 24th, 2012 at 7:54 am
@ Maxi- no matter what u were going to face the spartans anyways. So why cry, This is 2weeks old news… move on buddy. Pitt will be good next year ! And when you play a EBAL team, don’t get blown out by them,lol… just saying…
November 24th, 2012 at 8:02 am
The bird was the word on Thursday.
Sparty was looking sharp Williams the QB was looking confident and was unleashing some long on target hits.
Hands and some second efforts to make a catch seem a bit lacking on the receivers but when in sync some good stuff. Amador had a gallant effort and was playing #3 QB and it was apparent that injuries had taken a toll in the ranks. Sparty was able to get a large part of the second and 3rd rotations in at mid point 3rd qtr which is always good to see at a final home game.
Tonight will shall see who comes out on top Cal or Logan..I will go with CAL.
November 24th, 2012 at 9:32 am
Tonight’s game is interesting. Both teams are strong offensively and while on paper Logan is much stronger defensively, their schedule was much easier than Cal’s.
While this Cal team is arguably not as strong as the 2010 CHS team (who had the misfortune of coming up against one of the very best DLS squads in history) they seem to be a much more opportunistic team. I anticipate a close game tonight and frankly it’s no sure thing as far as who is going to come out on top. I will say that if there is a blowout or one-way win I would find it more likely to be on the CHS side.
That leaves the victor the prize of facing a DLS squad whose defense appears to be peaking at just the right time. In recent history, CHS has played DLS tougher than any school in the NCS section; of DLS’s 10 closest NCS games in the last 5 seasons, CHS was part of 4 of them. If CHS wins tonight, I would think they have the better chance against DLS (as small as that may be) than Logan.
Until NCS teams get it out of their heads that DLS can’t be beat, they won’t be. It’s going to take a supreme effort by an NCS team to knock DLS off their thrown. Will it happen this year? Doubtful, but you could give CHS a puncher’s chance. That said they need to take care of business before even thinking about DLS again.

The EC-Analy game went pretty much as I had expected. EC totally shut down the Analy passing game and they had no answer, only 91 total yards of offense in the first half. EC raced to a 25-0 lead early in the second half and cruised the rest of the way.
The comparison with the 2011 Campolindo team is uncanny; EC appears to be this year’s team of destiny and are only 2 victories away from a berth in the State Bowl game. Just like last year when EC gave Campo it’s toughest game of the year prior to the section final, Campo winning 16-13 on EC’s home field; EC defeated Campo 16-14 on Campo’s home field and have not looked back since.
The key for me is the improved play of QB Benjamin. He is light years ahead of where he was in game 4 against Campo. This is the final piece of their puzzle as they play the winner of CN vs MC next Friday or Saturday night at Pinole Valley High. I am hoping for an EC vs MC matchup as I think this has the most appeal; high profile college bound athletes at both schools. The only negative on the night for EC was the issue of penalties, way too many. EC will be ready for, favored, and prevail against either MC or CN as long as they don’t let penalties become an issue in the game.
One final comment, it’s too bad the Coliseum wasn’t selected as the venue for the D3 section final. Sure it is cavernous for a HS football game, but Campo came with several thousand fans and, for one amazing game, there was no place any of us (players and fans) would rather have been in the east bay.
November 24th, 2012 at 10:36 am
Analy didn’t shake hands because Richmond PD told them it was a safety issue since EC fans were harassing Analy to the point that the police thought it was dangerous. How’s that for sportsmanship?
November 24th, 2012 at 11:43 am
I must say this is an unfortunate black eye for the EC football program. Below is the account of what happened at the game last night, and apparently it started before the game as the Analy bus entered the parking lot. Bob Padecky is a well respected sportswriter from the Santa Rosa Press Democrat
http://pdpreps.com/news/article/40391/padecky-police-step-in-after-bad-blood-lingers-on-the-field/
Campolindo has played El Cerrito 5 consecutive years, including twice at El Cerrito; a wonderful football rivalry has resulted to the benefit of both teams. There is much respect between the two programs, but that is not to say it has been all rosy when Campo has traveled to El Cerrito.
Trash talking is a part of the game and Campo has come to expect it when they play at El Cerrito. For the fans who are only 20 feet from the field at El Cerrito, and certainly the coaches and the players, it easily heard. The intent is clearly to intimidate the players. Perhaps because they have played against each other the past 5 years, it has not been an issue for the Campo players; they know what to expect and Coach Macy likely coaches his teams to focus on the game at hand and how to deal with the perceived intimidation. However, that doensn’t excuse the behavior of a segment of El Cerrito fans who have attended the games at El Cerrito.
It is certainly a shame the game ended without the two teams shaking hands. Let’s hope the EC program, from the fans to the coaches to the players, learn from this episode; they have much to be proud of. Winning on the football field is a great accomplishment, but winning (or losing) with class is a far greater accomplishment in the game of life.
November 24th, 2012 at 11:52 am
I think it had more to do with EC’s coach coming out to midfield with a baseball bat than the EC fans but either way the PD instructed both teams to leave the field without shaking hands. 15 mins later the PD requested that Analy fans, coaches & players to vacate the premises for their own safety from what I’ve been told.
What strikes me as so odd is if you’re team wins the game, shouldnt the players & fans be celebrating & in good spirits? So whats up with all the animosity towards Analy after the game? The whole situation really reminds me of the Casa v Concord NCS Semi game back in 2010, where the winning team (Concord) comes out swinging (figure of speech) instead of shaking hands
November 24th, 2012 at 11:57 am
RedandBlue2 is right about all the penalties…El Cerrito got real sloppy in the second half…toward the end of the game although it didn’t make any difference…it led to a Analy TD and if EC gets sloppy against todays winner at Marin Catholic..it could very well cost them…
November 24th, 2012 at 12:38 pm
Really Redandblue2?? Please understand what really happened… One of the Analy coaches called one of the El Cerrito players the “B” word during the game. The EC player complained to the referee who was standing right on the side line to do something about it and the referree DID NOTHING… Thats what started everything. The Analy coach must have been upset because we were winning, you call that sportsmanship… The truth is Analy cannot believe that they LOST. Your team could have made some points off of the EC penalties, but didn’t. The basesball bat is not meant for intimidation. It is a tradition of EC to always bring the baseball bat to every game. I noticed that we still live in the past that minority players are roudy, and show no class… Well this is 2012 and we are not roudy we are passionate, we have class, we are people just like everyone else. Get over it..you were beaten ANALY by the best diverse culture of young men, just as smart and ever so talented then ANALY, CAMPO and DELASALLE.. We are proud of EC and proud of what they are accomplishing…
November 24th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
It’s a shame when bloggers and the pd preps newspaper writes a story slanted towards Ec and their fans being a threat ,it really takes away from the accomplishment of the team this year .No doubt the Ec players play hard and talk a little trash in between the lines but these are honorable young men who work hard in the classroom and are good citizens off the field .It was the Analy coaches and fans who were in shock and clearly overreacted because they had seen a team with this much talent all year long.The handshake after the game would have given the teams a chance to display sportsmanship …..funny how when Maher knocked thence running back helmet off with a hard hit he jumped up talking trash the Analy crowd went crazy in support…..urban school bias clearly ….Ec us against the world mentality
November 24th, 2012 at 1:56 pm
Hey, the Richmond Police know what to do and have a good pulse on the area. Let’s face it, EC is pure ghetto and has had problems in the past, that’s because most of those kids dont even live in El Cerrito, that’s the richmond unified school district for you, one of the lowest in the state for academics.
I followed EC football since the mid sixties, had a lot more class back then. Of course Analy isnt used to that type of taunting , another team used to it might have fought resulting in a big black eye for the NCS.
EC get your attitude on right if you want to advance, as far as that quote on being better than DLS, DeLa 49-14 over EC, no contest. DLS ineer city kids dont act like that ever and fans dont wait and attack the vistor’s bus. Lucky some country red-neck didn’t pull a gun and it gets ugly.

Ferndale 21- St Vincent de Paul 7, 5:00 2nd Q
November 24th, 2012 at 1:59 pm
EC situation not good, that would never happen out in Pittsburg. Coach Galli and staff would bench anyone getting to that level or suspend.
November 24th, 2012 at 2:07 pm
The incidents condemned at Ferndale with Mack and Salesian happened and the Ferndale principle stepped up and addressed it putting the team on probation.
How come when its in reverse with an inner city school nothing is condemned or done? The Ferndale incidents also involved fans just like EC. I know, the upbringing and the area make it more acceptable right? Hey, where’s the EC team captains and coaches squashing all that BS, you think thats going to happen in college?

November 24th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
You guys are ridiculous. Tell the whole story. Stop calling EC thugs and ripping the kids just because they are from the inner city. FYI to all the haters where was all of this when EC lost in the first round with these same kids am no one was saying anything except the coaches can’t coach. Now that the kids are juniors and senior EC is doing something wrong. Secondly who attacked Analys bus? Especially since nobody was there when they arrived at De Anza except administrators from the school. They arrive about 30-40 minutes before EC did. Please stop making up stories to paint the inner city school in a negative light. This was not a situation like Ferndale at all. There was some tension during the game as there was several big hits from both teams and both teams were talking mess to each other but the EC coaches didn’t call any kid from Analy a b!tch like the Analy coach did. As for the article written about what happen….. Horrible! Hometown slant. Not very objective at all. EC has gotten no respect all year from it schedule to sportsmanship and everything in between. I guess none of the hate matters because they’re getting ready to play for a championship and those who’ve downed them all year are sending their gear in to be recertified for next season. Good Luck EC.

MC stages massive comeback with a 42-37 win over CN
November 24th, 2012 at 4:37 pm
Wow good job Mc .I believe clearly the 2 best teams are playing in d3 finals.should be a good game …..who wins? Predictions?
November 24th, 2012 at 5:02 pm
DJ….Marin Catholic’s displine will make the difference…El Cerrito put on a display of periods of no displine leading to a bunch of penalities….This will be EC’s undoing…
November 24th, 2012 at 5:59 pm
Just came back from the CN-MC game. A tale of two halfs. Goff of MC had his first two passes intercepted and threw 3 on the day. MC also fumbled giving CN a 24-14 lead at the half and a 31-14 advantage midway through the 3rd quarter. At that point MC came alive and scored 4 straight TD’s.
CN’s star player Scooby Wright injured his ankle in the 2nd quarter and though he would still play a little bit on defense, he was a non-factor the rest of the game. Clearly the CN defense missed him in the second half as they had no answer for Goff and the balanced attack MC came out with in the second half.
This is now the second consecutive semi-final game in which CN did not show up in the second half. Last year, they gave up a 21 point lead in losing to Campolindo; this year they gave up a 17 point lead and lose to Marin Catholic.
I am very much looking forward to the final at Pinole Valley HS next Saturday evening. Inexplicably, Goff threw 3 pics where there was no receiver in site. EC should be able to exploit this and slow down their passing game as they did to Campolindo, Bishop O’Dowd and Analy. However, if Goff gets going and can get some confidence, like he did in the second half today, MC can do some damage. EC will be able to move the ball against MC both on the ground and in the air. Provided EC can limit their penalties and the quick strike capability of MC they should win this game by 2 scores. I think this will be more of a defensive game along the lines of EC vs Campolindo. Prediction 24-14 EC. I still feel that EC will represent northern California in the D3 State Bowl Game.
“A fan” & DJ,
Though I didn’t see it, I did hear from some Analy parents there were a few EC supporters who said some unprintable things to the Analy players as they got off the bus upon arrival at De Anza; many of the parents came down early with the bus and saw/heard it all. Probably just a few bad apples, but it did seem to set a tone for the rest of the evening.
November 24th, 2012 at 6:03 pm
After being at the CN-MC game, I have a hard time believing that EC stands a chance. MC’s coaching and incredible athletes will make all the difference. El Cerrito cannot get 17 penalties and expect the game to be within two scores, let alone win. EC will need a near perfect game. I’m a Newman fan, so take my words with a grain of salt, but I think the top two teams in D3 may have played today. I wish El Cerrito luck though.
November 24th, 2012 at 6:10 pm
@ Bluedog …I think u might be right with all the attention the Ec story is getting will definetly put the game officials on alert for the championship game .Official will be on high alert for trash talking etc from Ec their coach must stress that point with the team …….everyone knows Ec players are passionate and talk to their opponents but the joke about what was written in the pd prep article is that the Ec fans where threatening to harm the fans and players after a dominating win puh-lease!!! Believe me Ec fans could care less about their fans. And since the Analy coach was quoted in the article as saying a lot this stuff and stating Ec needs to learn how to win with class but Analy should learn to lose with class….Notice the cc times didn’t write about it in the papers and lot of people talking about it weren’t there at the game ….lets move on we have a good d3 game to talk about between the lines
November 24th, 2012 at 6:20 pm
@ Gaucho watcher- EC fan and players are THUGS !! Right when Analy was getting off the bus, there were threats at the players from EC fans. And the players talking trash before the game to the players. You guys like to be known as THUGGS !!!!
November 24th, 2012 at 6:21 pm
Patrick …..do you think if Goff throws 3 int’s against Ec that Mc.will win? Do you think if they fumble 2 times they win? I don’t think if Ec gets up on Mc by 3 scores Mc will come back but maybe the turnovers with Mc was just one of those days ….the penalties have been ec’s Achilles heel all year .Hope to,see both teams at their best Saturday night.
November 24th, 2012 at 6:24 pm
going to be a good game between El Cerrito vs MC !!!!! I pick MC by 7
November 24th, 2012 at 7:30 pm
@red and Blue #15 ,
The sports writer is respected in Sonoma county but not here.I think his article is clearly slated towards Analy notice he only quotes the Analy players and coaches who are clearly upset and shocked by being dominated to be fair he could’ve got a quote from the Ec coach get his side of the story….but what’s more disturbing is that a coach calls a Ec player a b*tch and no one has felt that to be black eye for the Analy program ..smh
November 24th, 2012 at 7:46 pm
The truth about the EC/Analy game: This is a simple case of the “Good Ole Boy Network”. Analy arrived alittle over 2 hours before the game time, there was nobody even in the arena yet. Analy coach/adult calls EC player/student a vulgar name.So the G.O.B.N will fabricate lies to discredit these young men. EC has been disrespected because nobody wants to believe that they are REALLY good. The G.O.B.N is great with smearing when things don’t go their way. EC will be the NCS Champs, just like Obama is the President…DEAL WITH IT!!! The Truth Hurts…
November 24th, 2012 at 8:17 pm
Gaucho watcher Ec is a bunch of thugs.
I watched the entire game and #7 couldn’t keep his mouth shut and many times he was hitting late no class.
November 24th, 2012 at 10:49 pm
Bleacher coach- it starts from the coaches .. there THUGGS too..they allow their players to trash talk or they can’t control them. they have no respect for the game !!
November 25th, 2012 at 7:29 am
@wreckcrew & @ bleacher coach. You have no idea what you’re talking about. The EC coaching staff is made up of teachers, executives and a police officer. Watch who you call thugs. Stop trying to profile people because of the way they walk, their passion or the colors of their skin.
#7 hasn’t made a tackle all season. He’s a WR and comes in in what looks like a dime package. Get your fact straight sir. I can guarantee he didn’t hit anyone late. If this was the NBA Analy and everyone that came with them would be getting fined for flopping. The coaches game plan flopped, the reporter writing that one sided story flopped and on and on. The only person with class were the couple of players including the qB that came to EC locker room to shake hands and exchange numbers with the EC QB and the couple of coaches that came across to say they weren’t the person who called the player out of his name and to apologize and shake hands.
November 25th, 2012 at 8:02 am
Bleacher has your opinion changed on Coach Moayed after they got it doen against CN?
November 25th, 2012 at 8:24 am
Where was that beez chalktalk? He must have been quiet among all the Logan fans & the as kicking we were handing out.
November 25th, 2012 at 8:55 am

I PICKED U FROM THE START
FOOTBALL SPEED THAT DLS CANT HANDLE
i hope ur that violent with de la
November 25th, 2012 at 10:34 am
which sideline will the infamous chalktalk hang around next week?
November 25th, 2012 at 7:58 pm
Be clear Ec kids have swag, Ec kids talk trash , the Ec kids are confident , and that rubs a whole lot of people wrong but are they the only team in high school that talks trash? #6 for Analy knocked Ec running back helmet off and he talked trash and the Analy crowd cheered …..Larry Bird was known as a trash talker was he a thug? ….I realize that these are urban kids from an urban area and they are a very good team that cause many to classify them as thugs but is a total mischaracterization of these young men…on the field they are mean,hard hitting ,and crass but not thugs ……Analy fans were intimidated when they got to Richmond they had probably never seen so many black people at one time in one place and they were dominated thoroughly .instead of giving credit to Ec they write about what happened before the game trash talking etc…..whether like their style of play or not respect the record 13-0 in d3 championship which they could lose or they are capable of winning …stop the hate recognize a good team
November 25th, 2012 at 8:54 pm
lol “swag”
November 25th, 2012 at 8:57 pm
Ec situation reminds me of Michigan fab 5 a few years ago when they came out with black socks and baggy shorts who talked trash and everyone considered them thugs because they didn’t act like kids from Duke ….these “thugs”will be in college in a few years stop the hate…..this is a historic season for this program and the parents and fans are excited about the possibilities .
November 25th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
Gentlemen, A thug is someone who robs,steals,intimidates and bullies people. These kids are not anything close to being thugs. A little bit of trash talk and spirited play yes.(See Encinal 08,09,10,11.) Thugs? No. What we have is just different communities comming together and not understanding each other. Please look up the meaning of Thug. Just because we all don’t behave the same does not mean we are “Bad Guys” Also please don’t blame the kids or fans for the behavior of a few silly individuals. People in this country have a bad habit of blaming the behavior of the few on the many. Enjoy High School Football responsibly. Now “say goodnight to the Bad Guy” and as always.. Jet Pride!
November 25th, 2012 at 9:11 pm
What a Thug really is: Thuggee (Hindi: ठग्गी or ṭhagī; Urdu: ٹھگ; Sanskrit: sthaga; Kannada: “thakka”), also known as tuggee or simply thugs, were organized gangs of professional assassins who traveled in groups across India for several hundred years. They were first mentioned in the Ẓiyāʾ-ud-Dīn Baranī (English: History of Fīrūz Shāh) dated around 1356.[1] In the 1830s they were targeted by William Bentinck, along with his chief captain William Henry Sleeman, for eradication. They were seemingly destroyed by this effort.[2]
The thugs would join travellers and gain their confidence. This would allow them to then surprise and strangle them by tossing a handkerchief or noose around their necks. The killings were performed in honour of the goddess Kali and were very ritualistic.[2] They would then rob the bodies of valuables and bury them. This led them to also be called Phansigar (English: using a noose), a term more commonly used in southern India. These are Football playes Not Thugs. Jet Pride!
November 25th, 2012 at 9:25 pm
“Different communities coming together and not understanding each other.” is a perfect description of this situation. For an adult to call a teenage athlete a thug is a bit irresponsible….especially when THAT adult comes from a so called “thug” area. BC…don’t forget your roots young man!
November 25th, 2012 at 9:46 pm
So many lies in the article written that wasn’t even about the game. Someone please tell me when do fans show up two hours before a high school game? Where they do that at? JV wasn’t playing and I didn’t see any tailgating going on so who exactly was heckling Analy? The security guards and ladies working the gate and snack bar? That reporter owes the kids and coaches an apology written in that same paper. Calling student athletes punks is inexcusable.
November 25th, 2012 at 10:05 pm
Look @ #49
Chalktalk, I’ve never heard of any “mom” jokes coming from any respectable coach. You are a real life dumb as. I guess another stupid quote for your book on how to be a good high school football coach. “Always tell a mom joke when you got nothing else to say”.- from the book – Chalktalk 101 – Life of a hater.
November 25th, 2012 at 10:51 pm
The article by the “well respected” writer from the Press Democrat was a joke. I wasn’t there, but something tells me that it went down a little different than he tells. Hometown slant is a great description I would say. The guy in the Facebook comments, Matthew, says this behavior (from EC) doesn’t surprise him given the region that is from????? Wow. That says a lot and clears a lot of things up relative to the perspective from that side(or geography) up north…
November 26th, 2012 at 4:50 am
Those who were actually at the saw that Analy players talked trash also …Analy got blew out and were in shock after losing like they did @ old meddling u are right different communities coming together not understanding one another but the news articles totally unfair to Ec fans and players .
November 26th, 2012 at 5:13 am
Analy article definetly had some racial under tones and the Facebook comments that followed clearly showed racial stereotypical attitudes from the fans in that area .This is the second time Ec ended Analy’s playoffs hopes they did it in basketball 2 years ago when Ec shut down Analy’s great player Max Fujii sent them home with devastating loss……Everyone believes a team should win with class but you have to lose with class also……notice in the article the writer barely admits a coach says something to Ec players but quickly moves past that to continue insulting Ec players and fans.Thats not a respected writer in my opinion sounds like a homer and if he wanted “to be fair” he would’ve interviewed Ec coach to get perspective on Ec program as a whole . But he quotes a coach and fan base who were shockingly surprised they loss so convincingly and had to make a 1 hour 45 min bus ride home with a loss…..in my opinion their subsequent comments are just as ugly as the actions they criticize ec of and that article has totally taken away from a dominating performance by Ec team

A poorly written newspaper article, racist comments made on Facebook, and a tremendous defeat by the hands of inner city youth striving to make a name for themselves…sounds like Analy fans received everything they deserved. All year long I’ve read comments from those who pray on the downfall of young black and brown children, regardless of the fact that they are striving to improve their lives via the typically positive avenue of athletics. It seems like north coast teams have a hard time handling losses at the hands of those who look different from them and the reactions from the parents surely don’t help. I thought that in the new millenium parents would be instructing their kids on how live in a diverse society. Apparently the community that feeds students to Analy has not taken the huge step into the 21st century. Tragic, as the only people who truly suffer from this inability to move forward are the students who continually have this racist garbage fed to them. I played high school athletics and am curious when “trash talk” became such a big deal during a football/sporting event. I’m 33, and since I was a young man, trash talk has always had a place in any sport I’ve ever taken part in. My suggestion to Analy is to get tough, grow up, and stay out of Richmond. You people clearly lack the intestinal fortitude it takes to survive and thrive in our “hostile” community. That’s really sad, considering we’ve got heaps of beautiful things going on here. Poor sports get no love…grow up, and class up, team.

I have to laugh when I read that the EC situation is a “racist” backlash against the poor “urban” youths “striving to better themselves”! The fact is that they are a talented team with not a lot of poise or class. This is just the way they choose to play, and hey, they are 13-0. But c’mon, 18 penalties!! Are the referees racists, too? The gutless trashtalk/cheapshot mode that EC plays is not a cultural “norm”, but an unfortunate choice made by the players and coaches which embarasses us here in the East Bay. You can have swag without trying to intimidate and humiliate your opponent. As the Analy coach correctly pointed out, those are the actions of a little bitch.
November 26th, 2012 at 11:12 am
Sorry, Ray, but you sound ridiculous. It’s unjustifiable for an adult to call a child a “bitch.” Period. Do you have children? Do you speak to them in such a fashion? If so, good luck raising positive kids! Racism exists, my friend. It’s evident in our daily society, it’s evident in our entire system, and clearly, it’s evident in the writers that hate seeing a team from Richmond succeed. I never mentioned cultural norms, and I surely do not defend poor sportsmanship. I do, however, expect a journalist to present a FAIR and BALANCED critique of a game involving multiple insults from both sides. It’s clear that you’ve never played football, rugby, or any sport where physical contact occurs. If you had, you would understand that “swag” is not merely “intimidation,” but a mindset that protects athletes. Athletes involved in physical competition need swagger, because they could break their neck during contact, and that imminent threat of physical harm could be a deterrant for less confident players. EC isn’t scared. Lots of people are having a hard time seeing a group of inner city youth not backing down from the buying power of rich white schools. That’s what it is, Sir, point blank period.
November 26th, 2012 at 11:13 am
Also, if you don’t think it’s “racism,” it’s for sure bigotry. Pick your poison, Son…you can settle for being a bigot if you don’t like the “R-Word.”
November 26th, 2012 at 11:15 am
Looking forward to the EC vs MC game. These two teams have been at the top of Div III all year. Too bad NCS has slated Pinole Valley as the hosting venue, but it is what it is. A little bad history for EC there, maybe this team can avenge the 2006 team.
November 26th, 2012 at 11:15 am
So far, Chalktalk seems to be the only person who truly understands the nature of football and contact sports. GO HARD, BRAH

@Eastbay Ray,
Clearly the article written had a total Analy slant which is ok i guess(I thought writers were suppose to be objective)but whatever…But where there is clear racism is in the Analy fan reaction on facebook,some clearly had a problem with losing to team from Richmond cause their comments went far beyond ec players trash talking on the field.and as far as the penalties maybe no poise but penalties doesnt make a team classless(all the penalties were not personal fouls alot was offsides they are very agressive defense)…..So now Ec(Classless and Undisciplined vs MC(classy and disciplined) who wins? not a slam dunk for either team
November 26th, 2012 at 5:19 pm
Is Ec the only team in high school that talks trash? why is this such big news? Cause a suburban newspaper wrote about it in an article. People get over it like it or not they are good…Period!!! …Only real problem is they talk trash and can back it up if Ec was 4-6 wouldnt even be a topic.They will talk trash to Mc and even if Mc beats them after the game they will shake hands and keep it moving….so Mc fans and other suburban fans you can come to pinole without fear that you will be mugged or robbed by Thuggish team and their fans get over it lets talk about the game itself Mc explosive spread offense vs Ec stingy defense(20 points they gave up to Analy is the most in any game this season)..
November 26th, 2012 at 5:25 pm
Off subject a little but Fellas how can I get out of going to a memorial service of a friend of my wife who she hadnt seen or heard from in 5 years.The service is on Saturday at 630pm Ec vs Mc game Sat at 700pm.Need help?
November 26th, 2012 at 6:03 pm
Does anyone remember a kid that went “Beastmode” from Oakland Tech? I wonder how Analy would handle playing a team from them parts…
November 26th, 2012 at 6:22 pm
Dont worry DJ MC has gone to EC and beaten them in EC before, they beat that 7-0 Lamont Thompson lead EC team in 96. MC is a pretty classy team and the fans are as well I dont see any issues on their end
November 26th, 2012 at 6:48 pm
………the parents would have never gotten out of their cars! Get off on 51st and refuse to go down Broadway! Staying in Rockridge and getting play by pay
November 26th, 2012 at 7:02 pm
Look it’s no secret that the NCS wants to send the best suburban team they can find to LA. Sad thing is if EC wins out watch them try and send Oakdale in their place
November 26th, 2012 at 7:26 pm
#79 There’s a regional game this year that will probably pit NCS winnner/Sutter for D3.
November 26th, 2012 at 10:27 pm
@suckerfree ,
That’s my point Mc is a classy team and the fans are as well but so is Ec and their fans ….We suppose to believe Ec are thugs and the fans and parents are bad role models because haters on this blog and a homer columnist and their fans wrote about it the local paper…..C’mon man!!!! …..Congrats on the win in 96 Al Bundy I mean suckafree…newsflash Ec was the last local team to beat 6-0 Matt Clizbe DeLa Salle team 14-13 on their field in the regular season…..none of that matters come Sat night
November 26th, 2012 at 11:43 pm
Not sure where to start the list of great athletes that did not talk trash because there are too many.
November 27th, 2012 at 12:01 am
i just hope its not as cold on saturday in pinole as it was for the 06 game…
November 27th, 2012 at 8:25 am
I understand not trash talking, but we’re talking about modern athletics. More often than not, teams won’t talk trash, but please rest assured, it’s battle on the field and those that even whisper an ill timed word will be handled accordingly. I saw the EC vs. Analy game, and all the supposed “thuggish” behavior EC committed was nowhere to be found. I watched the game on tape multiple times and trash talk was nowhere to be found. If anything, #75 from Analy was the biggest instigator of ill will on the field. That big, fat, white kid was clearly having a hard time losing to a team of minority kids because he was the only one late hitting players and talking trash after the plays. If EC is guilty of any transgression, it’s defending their own players from “thuggish” white kids. Ironic, isn’t it? The only players on the field that were behaving in an unsportsman like fashion were the rich white kids from Analy. Take your loss like men, kids…oh wait! They’re the kids I saw in college who were crying when their parents refused to buy them new BMWs for their birthdays. Suck it Easy, Beezies…I had to work for everything I’ve earned, and after a Bachelor’s degree from Cal Poly, SLO, and a Master’s Degree, you guys are still crying over not being provided for while I’m out here gettin’ it. EC defeats MC–28-10. LETS GO!
November 27th, 2012 at 9:53 am
Gouchofan, we all take a few cheap shots on this blog, but you really represent yourself and your community poorly with your comments. I certainly hope you have more going on in your life than a high school football team and loathing of caucasian people.
Regarding EC/Analy:
Miramonte has played Analy four times over the last three years. All four games have been hard-fought and the last two were decided in the waning minutes. Last year Miramonte stole a victory from Analy in the last few seconds of the game at Analy. The crowd and players were never disrespectful, mean, trash-talking, etc. In fact, I’ve never known Analy to be that way.
Now I hear the Analy team was trash-talking during the game, irate after the game and that the handshake was called off by the Richmond PD no less. Do I believe Analy was upset and out-of-control because of the loss? Do I really believe the Analy fans drove all that way to trash-talk and start a fight in Richmond? Do I really believe the Richmond PD was concerned the Analy fans were going to beat-up the EC fans? I’d have to admit the EC fans need to check themselves on this one.
Whatever your view of the facts, in the end its a black-eye for high school football and the EC football program in particular.
With regard to trash-talking, contact sports, etc.:
Suggesting that trash-talking and contact sports go hand-in-hand is just BS. Most sports at the international level don’t allow any such nonsense. Take a lesson from Olympic boxing, wrestling, judo, etc. Talk trash and you are gone! Chalktalk and any of you others that take that view, trash-talking is a choice, nothing more. Your narrow view that trash-talking is mandatory to be great because that’s what you saw in your limited sports career shows how little you really know.
November 27th, 2012 at 11:03 am
Mira where are the regional games gonna be played at?
November 27th, 2012 at 11:15 am
Perkin,
D1 – Dublin HS
D2 – DVC
D3 – Pinole Valley HS
D4 – Don’t know, but as both teams are from Marin Co., I’d assume somewhere around there.
November 27th, 2012 at 11:20 am
Perkin,
Regional games? Sorry, that I don’t know nor do I think it has been determined.
November 27th, 2012 at 11:38 am
Here is my take on El Cerritogate:
El Cerrito clearly has a chip on their shoulder and they are playing every game with passion as if the next play will be their last; and yes they talk trash. Only after the 12th game of the season does the trash talking become an issue? After watching the EC/Analy game on video a couple of times:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr29JHAVcTA
and the EC/Campo game on video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-lNoKkVup4 I come up with these conclusions:
Analy is a very good football team who knew what they were getting into with El Cerrito and tried to do some intimidation of their own. When it was clear that El Cerrito was the better team, at one point taking a 25-0 lead, frustration set in for undefeated Analy and they certainly didn’t handle it very well. El Cerrito appeared to treat this game like any other, and why not? Their skill and athleticism is likely only matched by some of the top D1 teams this year, such as Logan and De La Salle. El Cerrito had 17 penalties against Analy and 14 against Campolindo. If there is one part of their game that has not gotten better over the course of the season, it is the huge number of penalties they commit. In some respects, this shows me they could be a far even better team if they could somehow control this aspect of their game. Certainly they have their share of personal fouls, 3 against Analy and a couple against Campolindo. But the vast majority of the penalties were your garden variety, offsides – holding – procedure calls. However, this seems to be an issue for Marin Catholic as well. MC had more than their share of stupid penalties in their game with Cardinal Neman; this from a team that supposedly has more discipline?
I’m not quite sure what to make of Goff of MC. He threw 3 interceptions against CN that left me scratching my head. At this point in the season and his career, I expect a lot more out of him (so should Cal!). Benjamin of El Cerrito is clearly not the QB Goff is in terms of throwing the ball; he had 4 picks in the 2nd quarter alone against Campolindo. But he appeared to get much better over the rest of the season and his interception total after the Campo game proves it. His best asset appears to be when he runs the ball; he is such an elusive runner. If he can keep the MC secondary honest with his running, he has more than enough skill to beat MC throwing the ball. In my view, the team that plays the cleanest game in terms of fewest penalties & turnovers likely wins this game.
After reading the seemingly one sided story from Bob Padecky of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat; what, he couldn’t get any quotes from El Cerrito players or coaches??? It just didn’t make any sense he would write such a one sided hit piece considering he has been a sports writer for 4 decades. Interestingly, I dug up this piece on him concerning Kenny Stabler of the Oakland Raiders……downright weird: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1094874/index.htm
I agree, the more troubling aspect of the story were the comments that followed by Analy supporters. I don’t know the major differences between a community such as Sebastopol versus Moraga, other than the former is more rural, but it certainly appears as if the Campolindo football team and their supporters had no issues with either the trash talking or the style of play of the El Cerrito football team. In fact, after watching the video a couple of times, it appeared to be a great game; two evenly matched teams that featured great defense. El Cerrito clearly had the superior athletes, but Campolindo put up a great fight and in the end, lost by only a missed FG in the 4th quarter.
I am Christian, but I am an East Bay resident who loves great football; particularly public school teams like El Cerrito who don’t enjoy all the resources of De La Salle or even Marin Catholic. I will be rooting for the Gauchos this weekend because they are a great story, like Campolindo was last year. It just goes to show you that two teams from disparate communities and two totally different styles of play can achieve a similar goal.
Go Gauchos, I hope you make it to Carson.
November 27th, 2012 at 12:52 pm
@Miraman,
I agree to an extent anyone who “watched” the game objectively won’t deny that Ec players talked trash but the Analy players regardless of what they did when they played Mira talked trash as well this game #75 #6 #4 all were talkers for Analy so why is just a black eye for the Ec program.Its confirmed in Pd prep article that “a man” which happened to be a coach screamed a profanity at a ec player….So my problem Mira is did trash talking just start this year? Is Ec the first and only team who has trash talked? Why all the attention now?….Because a predominantly caucasian school and their newspaper columnist wrote about it the local paper and commented about it on Facebook…1)And to answer your questions Do you believe Analy was out of control because of the loss?No but they were clearly upset about the loss and how they loss they were crushed and the players and fans alike were frustrated with seeing the ec fans boisterously celebrating and players alike 2)Do you believe they came all they way to Richmond to trash talk and start a fight? No but the team and fans were clearly intimidated but there was no threat of violence I believe richmond pd was being overly cautious several players and coaches from each team did shake hands later after the game and exchanged phone numbers which was not noted in the pd prep article……But what is bothersome about your perspective and some others who share your opinions is that a lot these comments are coming from people who werent at this game and are basing their comments on what they heard,games a few years ago,the article itself where only one side of the story was told….HEAR THIS!! both teams talked trash but why is it an black on just the Ec program? Cause the game was played in Richmond?….Mira read the facebook comments from Analy fans that berated the entire area of Richmond and it’s residents,If it was just about a game why go there?…..Lastly if this was Ec vs.Berkeley high Mclymonds vs Oakland Tech(who down thru the years talk trash)would this even be news? Red and Blue post #15 says says 5 years ec played Campo it was known Ec talks trash why is it news now?
November 27th, 2012 at 12:56 pm

how dare u even line up across from me
this is an insult
BUT IF UR A TECHNIQUE GUY A FUNDAMENTAL GUY
UVE BEEN TAUGHT WHAT 2 DO
AND ANY MINUTE NOW MY TALENT CAN BY PASS EVERYTHING UVE EVER LEARNED
so i would imagine most people dont talk trash
November 27th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
Miraman–Who are you?! I represent myself poorly? Sorry, Son, but you are sorely mistaken. As D-Harmony said, this would not have even been an issue were EC just a mediocre team, as opposed to the powerhouse they are this year. White people come to Richmond expecting trouble, and you know what? They never found it. They did, however, expose themselves in that the community of Analy consists of classless, racist, bigots, that do not handle losing to minorities in the least bit. Makes me think about how Adolf felt when Jesse Owens took over the olympics. Get back, Whitey. Your racist ignorant ways have no power over me. That, Son, is the power of education. Eductate yourself, Miraman. The world’s bigger than your upper class, Starbucks sipping, never had to work for a thing existence.
November 27th, 2012 at 1:46 pm
tom brady richard sherman trash talk
google it
tom brady told sherman 2 see him after the game and new england lost

shultz told harbuagh 2 learn the rule book (talking trash)
then got slapped hard
November 27th, 2012 at 5:09 pm
Gauchofan,
Shouting racial slurs and telling me to educate myself all in the same breath – classy!
I’m probably alot older than you and definitely alot more mature, so I’ll take the high road and just say the problem happened at your house with a team that hasn’t had problems in the past. You either take responsibility or you don’t. The excuse that if EC was mediocre or playing some other inner-city team it wouldn’t be an issue is a load of BS. It wouldn’t perhaps be in the papers, but it would still be just as big of a black eye to EC’s program. It’s not me that is effected by it, BUT YOU SHOULD CARE!
If you’re OK with a team that gets in shouting matches with opponents, well than that’s a reflection of who you are and your value system.
November 27th, 2012 at 5:47 pm
Gauchofan & DJGaucho:
For what it’s worth, I am a person of color and a former football player. Football is one of those rare sports where you can do your talking with your play – physically imposing your will.
You will be interested to know that the head of the North Coast Section, Gil Lemon, was at the EC/Analy game, and was appalled at the behavior. He has sent a letter to the EC principal outlining what he expects for the next game, including no more trash talking, filthy language, and baseball bats on the sideline. Hopefully we can be talking about the GAME after this one!
Speaking of which:
I agree with the comment above about Goff. People have criticized EC for their weak schedule, but after their preseason games, MC’s schedule is terrible. They play in a D4 league, where the receivers run free. Goff has no pressure, and essentially plays 7 on 7. He is a lot like the other Cal QB’s – strong armed, but mechanical (and a work-out warrior). I think the EC secondary can really challenge MC’s passing game, especially if they can get any kind of rush.
Also, somewhat lost in all the trashtalk discussion, is the fact that EC QB Benjamin had his best game of the season last week. If he can force MC to respect the passing game, EC will be very dangerous, and could really dominate.
Here’s to a good game.
November 27th, 2012 at 6:22 pm
Miraman,
I don’t share gauchofans racial sentiments but in regards to it being big news because it was a rural,suburban team predominantly Caucasian against an urban team from Richmond is not BS .its not news what happens in and amongst urban teams first because no one would report it to the local newspapers 2nd because .This isn’t the first season trash talk was invented its been happening its just not news .2nd how would you know what Analy’s history is in regards to trash talking ? Since this article was written there have players from other teams in Analy’s area confirming that Analy is known as trash talkers as well in that area…..why in this incident is not Analy’s program not stained?..don’t misunderstand me I don’t condone bad behavior in sports but I really feel its unfair to the young men who are good student athletes to be branded as thugs period!! Or for that teams fan base to denigrate an whole area( Richmond) …Mira with all due respect if you think there’s not a racial undertone to the comments from Analy fans you are blind……I think Ec fans can admit Ec team are talkers but thugs? c’mon and I assure you they would’ve shook hands with Analy after the game and there would not have been a problem but between the lines this team are beast. …..Bod talked junk the week prior where’s the complaints,newspaper articles etc fan uproar? Ever been to an oakland silver bowl lot of trash talk ? ..mira lastly were you even at this game ? Just curious
November 27th, 2012 at 6:25 pm
MC schedule is horrible? They played Vacaville and St Ignatius (in the CCS Open Finals) in the preseason and their “easy” ooc game was Miramonte.El Cerrito SOS rating was a 4.5 versus MC 15.2. San Marin and Justin Siena who are in the MCAL are playing for the D4 title this weekend and MC beat them both. MCAL rating is 7.1 and the Rock is 1.8. You must be uneducated in high school football if you think MC plays a soft schedule, MC always has the toughest or one of the toughest OOC schedule in D3. El Cerrito’s ENTIRE LEAGUE IS D4 outside of Pinole, guess what none of the advanced past the MCAL teams in D4
November 27th, 2012 at 6:25 pm
@98
November 27th, 2012 at 6:35 pm
@eastbay Ray,
I read the article and I hope Ec gets the message because the refs will be watching everything and I don’t believe Ec can win with 17 penalties.But my only objection about all this is the characterization of the Ec program as being dirty and the players being called thugs . and Surely after an newspaper article brought this attention the commissioner had to respond…….
In regards to the game itself Ec must stop the run Terry for Mc is a beast and cut down on the stupid penalties and I like their chances …I will assure all if Ec gets up on Mc like Cn did game over.Ec is ruthless and they have a killer instinct they will finish the job …..Ec hasn’t trailed more than 7 pts all season so,they will need a good start or else ….lets hope both teams bring their A games.
November 27th, 2012 at 6:49 pm
In summary:
This issue has grown into a HUGE deal on THIS site. I don’t see any other coverage of it past the weekend.
The Santa Rosa PD article was obviously one sided, and anyone that read the Facebook comments could easily notice the racially slanted direction. The article almost provided kindling to the racial words that followed. The guy who said that the behavior doesn’t surprise him given the region it’s from…..I hope he’s not coaching youth sports of any kind, because him teaching young kids to judge other kids by geography would be sad.
Like it or not, trash talking is a part of our sports culture. You can thank Sportscenter every night for showing it and promoting it. From Larry Bird way back, to players like Ray Lewis today sports culture has embraced showboating and trash talking. In a time when salaries are unbelievably high, self promoting at someone else’s expense is all too common. Young players imitate what they see their hero’s do. As hard as some of these kids work in the off season, a little expression is to be expected….within reason preferably. Football is a physical, warrior type game, so overreacting and over celebrating can be expected.
When a team goes 12-0 like Analy and then has their season abruptly ended when they had high hopes of going down south, I would expect them to be pissed and react angrily to any kind of celebrating or talking from their opponent. That being said, I’m sure EC talked a bunch of trash, but I’m also sure Analy was far from innocent if you get my point. For someone who wasn’t even in attendance to say that is a black eye for only the EC program is just irresponsible.
It’s kids playing a very physical sport, but their coaches should try and limit the trash talking. Only problem is, nowadays it’s much easier said than done. I’m sure coaches would rather just win and walk away, but its hard to come down on a kid for celebrating, especially when your roster is so small and your roster is so thin. It seems like there were coaches from BOTH teams that failed to fully control their kids.
With all this in mind, everyone needs to get over it and look forward to the slate of title games this weekend. Move forward to the positive, and leave the name calling behind.
November 27th, 2012 at 6:56 pm
Eb prep fan …..Amen!!!!
November 27th, 2012 at 6:59 pm
Do any of the Ec fans know what happened to their running back Marshon Ardoin? Haven’t seen him last couple games
November 27th, 2012 at 7:02 pm
to me trash talking aint a big deal. we teach kids all the time sticks n stones but words will never hurt so get over it. if somebody is trash talking and backing it up whats the problem? if there trash talking to you and getting in your head thats your fault not the trash talker get mentally tough!
November 27th, 2012 at 7:05 pm
Humility double check alert…all the wankers with their hot air, and hopefully BANG subscribers, need to check the Tuesday Nov. 27th Times print edition FRONT PAGE article by Chris De Benedetti…YOU DO HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION TO BANG dontcha? about CSD and the challenges deaf football players have. No trash talking there.
November 27th, 2012 at 7:10 pm
for el cerrito to win they must stop #4 & #27 in the slots from running down the seams. they should lock up those outside wr’s no problem but the key to mc passing game is #4 n #27 in the slots they may want to move 1 of those stud corners on #4. ec has been lucky in not playing alot of running schools so the key for mc is running #19 setting up the playaction. ec gets the ball to there playmakers in space marin wont catch them mc has a very sound defense but there not very fast.

November 27th, 2012 at 8:47 pm
EC’s secondary is filled with d1 talent and the defense is led by #2 at lb, they were able to completely shut down analy’s explosive offense, maher was a non factor the whole game for analy.
MC hasnt faced a defense this stout all year; wouldn’t be surprised if Goff and the MC offense have an off night. At this point, to beat either of these teams you have to be have a great night at all 3 aspects of the game. If MC cant handle the gaucho D, i suspect EC would come out on top.
But I don’t like how sloppy EC has played, they had massive amounts of penalties and miscues in all three games against campo, analy, and BOD, I don’t know if they’ll be able to get away with another sloppy game against MC which is a step above any of the teams mentioned above. If EC can limit penalties and play like they’ve played on D all year they just might take this one

i think that planting a flag on some ones soil is talking trash i think planting a flag on the moon is talking trash – mount rushmore, pyramid, empire state building…
my point is there are many forms of chest pounding.
SOME OF THIS KIDS COME FROM ABUSIVE SITUATION
DODGE BULLETS AND GANGS RESIST THE TEMPTATION OF MAKING FAST MONEY AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD THEY MADE IT 2 SCHOOL AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD THEY HAVE A GPA THAT ALLOWS THEM 2 PLAY FOOTBALL!!! just being alive today is a big accomplishment 4 some!!! WE ALL DEAL WITH STRESS IN DIFFERENT FASHION “judge not”
until they stop people from beating each other in the game of hockey were the game is mostly people of none color u are all hypocrites

DJ,
Two conversations going on: one about smack-talk in general and one about a specific shouting match/near riot/handshake aborted at EC/Analy game.
With regard to smack-talk, I’m not particulary down on it in general with two qualifications. First, many sports seem to operate just fine without it. The tolerance of it is a choice. Football could eliminate it in a season or two and no one would miss it except a few old timers talking about the “good old days”. Two, like most things its fine in moderation. But football, with a fair amount of idle time between plays, provides a perfect opportunity to engage in endless non-constructive smack-talk that can detract from the game and escalate into fights, angry fans, etc…
With regard to EC/Analy game. I wasn’t at the game and never said I was. I never referred to anyone as “thugs” or made any racial comments. Read my comment above #86. Your comments regarding Analy being a major contributor to the poor outcome is a fair comment; perhaps they did get more vocal later in the season as they got bigger heads. Certainly seeing their season draining away could have caused them to lose their cool. The news report even notes Analy parent/adults standing on the sidelines yelling. And yes, every team has loudmouth kids.
But based on playing Analy and seeing them play over the past three years, do I think they travelled all the way to Richmond to instigate a near-riot? No, I don’t. The perspective that some on this blog take is to deflect blame to your guests as opposed to accepting your own culpability. Basically, I think there is plenty for EC fans/coaches/administrators to chew on with a primary goal of making sure it doesn’t happpen again.
Good luck to the Gauchos against Marin Catholic. EC is in for a whole new deal! Opposite end of the spectrum. Will EC do the pre-game prayer with MC?? What about a post-game prayer??
I have MC as a pretty big favorite. If MC is capable of taking away the big play, big return, etc., they should win it handily. But MC will likely provide EC with an interception or two, so they will get some opportunities to score.
November 28th, 2012 at 12:57 pm
I think El cerrito team is like Encinal team in 2008.
November 28th, 2012 at 1:16 pm
No Matter what happends the NCS D3 game should be a great one. Yes I believe El Cerrito will win. MC has always been a disciplined and well coached team but as i felt back in 2008 about another team, These kids didn’t go hard and come all this way to lose. The Same could be said for MC But I have El Cerrito winning 35-28. Please note the Score. Jet Pride!
November 28th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
sounds like the old chalktalk- always bringing up racial issues- hockey is on strike son, if you haven’t noticed. Again, if Ferndale cant get away with it, why El Cerrito?
November 28th, 2012 at 4:01 pm
If EC can clean it up, they can take it all the way.
Stay classy my friends.
November 28th, 2012 at 5:17 pm
Mira ,
I didnt attribute any negative comments to you but was merely stating that the comments you made we’re based on history “Mira played Analy 3 years and no problems” as opposed to this game specifically. You also said Ec fans need to check themselves……if you weren’t there at “this” game what exactly did they do that you feel they need to put in check? Cause I was there and was part of Ec fan section?…..Nobody believes it was Analy intent on driving to Richmond to fight but did they get frustrated because their team was dominated? Yes …Did Analy players talk trash? Yes did Ec players talk ?yes …My problem with your comments #86 is that you give Analy’s team and fans a pass when say “Analy fans/team have gotten frustrated and out of control but you are sure they didn’t drive here to start trouble so then it must be the Ec Fans”…..Be clear I don’t condone bad sportsmanship at all i was there and didnt see any actions by Ec fans worthy of them having to check themselves anymore than the Analy fans.So why is it that you say Ec fans need to check themselves? Is it your thoughts that these suburban fans came to Richmond and of course it was the Richmond fan fault? I’m bothered because the uproar was started based on a biased article which didn’t include interviews from no one but their team and fans……..
As far as the game goes either team could win but Mira Ec ain’t Cardinal Newman if Mc plays like that vs Ec game over real quick because one thing Ec is and that’s cut throat won’t be no comebacks so let’s hope both teams bring their A games

This issue has been covered on the norcalpreps site:

A few on the norcalpreps blog talk about the possibility of El Cerrio not being recommended for inclusion in the northern California regional game if they exhibit poor sportsmanship in winning the game against Marin Catholic.
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. Go Gauchos
November 29th, 2012 at 12:02 am
this ec/analy this is way out of control why none of the other 11 teams that lost to them not saying the same thing bout them i was actually at the game and i am wondering where was the issues with the ec fans yes analy was shell shock of the speed and playmaking ability of ec and how the really was gettin blown out the game wasnt as close as the score may seem those ec fans and parents were so so so happy and cheering for those kids i been to a few ec games and they was no diff from any other same chats they have done and yes the ec kids and some of the coaches are very cocky but hey they are good i will give them credit they got some good players and they are playing well together, to call these kids thuggs and you dont even know these kids is a down right shame i know a few of these kids and have met a few other not thugs at all i can personally speak on austin harper very good kid, good family, parents raised a really good kid, these kids want to win they want success they want to go to college, thugs dont go to school they dont take care of grades to stay eligble, they dont work hard in the offseason.
last time i checked el cerrito high is in a very good neighborhood its like 5 blocks away from albany high tons of very very nice homes surround the school.
now yes the ec kids talk trash thats part of sports at all levels some do it so dont everybody has their own oppinion but it happens if u cant take words out of peoples mouth then u might have a hard time dealing with people outside of ur community nobody wants to really talk about the COACH that call the child a b!tch but they have class WOW really people and for u grown a$$ adults who on here who was with that smh shameful so i guess they can dish it out but cant take the trash talk. and since when is de anza in the city of richmond last i checked its in el sobranta that next to san pablo and pinole its just the whole area to outsiders give it that richmond stigma smh i just think analy folks was scared of what they hear about the area hence pre judging like i said i was at the game the ec fans was ready to party and have a good time they were happy for those boys
much respect to the analy PLAYERS that went to the ec locker room and shook hands wit ec players the whle coaching staff should done the same at least with the ec coaches that setting an example for u right there if some of the coaches did then that wonderful i do give props to the analy kids they played hard to the final whistle

Well said SL pirate football
November 29th, 2012 at 6:42 am
Here is a different perspective, maybe not as interesting as all the rhetoric that is flying on this thread but here goes. Regulars on the blog the past few years will remember my son played for Salesian the past three years and is away at school this year. I remember him commenting on the trash talking he would get when playing inner city schools (so funny, dozens of references to “inner city” when what everyone means is teams with lots of black kids on them). So I called him up for a refresher, he said they they did get it but the coaches prepped them that it would be coming so it didn’t bother them and the team was pretty disciplined so I would have to agree. Then he said he preferred to play teams such as Mack, they did trash talk but they played straight up and never cut blocked him. The players never had any issues, the only incidences I can remember involved the fans, and it was the loud mouthed Moms that caused the problems. Go figure.
November 29th, 2012 at 10:36 am
@121. De Anza is within the city limits of Richmond. There’s a portion that juts out into the unincorporated El Sobrante (May) Valley. That’s why it’s served by Richmond PD and not CCC Sheriffs. There was a very ugly incident circa 1976-7 (football was actually strong there then) when one of two on-site, gamenight, RPD officers actually got cuffed by his own set while they were unsuccessfully trying to manage an end zone melee fostered by the local gang upstarts “West Santa Rita.” (The back gate of DA is served by Santa Rita Road.) There was a mutual response call put out, the game was stopped in the 4th, and visitor fans and players alike left amongst rock throwing and broken bus windows despite the police response. It is obvious, based on the EC/Analy reports, that the RPD was taking NO chances with the history there, albeit a generation ago.

From Wikipedia on the definition of race:
the scientific community suggest that the idea of race is often used[3] in a naive[4] or simplistic way, i.e. that among humans, race has no taxonomic significance: all living humans belong to the same species, Homo sapiens.
November 29th, 2012 at 2:18 pm
Chalktalk -
Seems like you and your opponents both hold deep prejudices.
My advice is to go someplace where people suffer not because of their choices, but because of where they are.
In other words, where suffering doesn’t happen because of drugs/extra-marital child-bearing & raising/gangs/violence/theft, ie bad choices, but because the economic opportunities are so limited that one can lead a good, upright and righteous life but never improve one’s station or their children’s future.
Compassion for those suffering around us is necessary, but your America-centric perspective has blinded you from the reality that most people in the world experience.
Then, instead of raging against the system, here, and turning these fine young people into victims, show them how much they have and, more importantly, how much they have to gain by working within the system to achieve success.
That would seem more productive.
God Bless.

Chalktalk aka Nat Turner, if it’s so bad in America and you want to do some good, move to yur roots and volunteer for all the suffering and anguish those poor people have. Join the Peace Core Blood. Better yet go to Haiti and see the suffering in the Northern Hemisphere. Your excuses for all the violence and unjustice in this country is a broken record, that was 50 yrs ago son, you got a better deal than a lot of us, you just dont realize it. Like my raleatives, you strap on yur boots and work your way out of problems, with government assistance it is all entirely possible.
November 29th, 2012 at 9:41 pm

Is that Boot strap comment a euphemism for all you “Good Ole Boys,” standing on the backs of another person of color & calling it justice? Sounds like a bad case of Romnesia to me. Just what the world needs, another socially inept Bigot rambling on about nothing. We could do away with government assistance programs, but then who would care for all those in-bred backwoods relatives you mentioned?

@133- SLP; just stating accuracy/archives. Definitely a long time ago, however, former neighbor was a RPD canine crew (they grew up on Santa Rita.) Protocol for HS FB was changed specifically after that and suggesting why the “no handshakes.” El Sob today is certainly unlike Parchester/4th and Mac/Triangle you are correct.
November 30th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
The fact that all the Norcal and State Bowl games are a HUGE source of money for the CIF ,they ( the establishment ie the commissioners) do not want to take any chances of having the bowl series given a black eye by an undisciplined team.
In 2008 the Jets where by far the most deserving team. They had just beat a Novato team who was the 2006 DII bowl rep from the NCS but in my opinion they did not get picked because of lack of sportsmanship.
EC could have the same fate . If it does go down like that and they don’t get picked they have no one to blame but them selves.
Sutter from the North has for sure locked up the DIII spot for one regional. It will come down to picking a rep from the SJS or the NCS. If Escalon beats Central Catholic and EC beats MC look for a EC to get the shaft.
November 30th, 2012 at 5:37 pm
Bleacher coach sounds really shady. Im sorry but you almost sound like a Uncle Tom racist in disguise. But you don’t fool me…
November 30th, 2012 at 5:51 pm
Bleacher Coach,
Wow. I stand corrected and apologize. I should do the leg work before I comment. I did not know the issue at hand and for that I was ignorant. Again, I apologize.
However, E. C. won the game on the field. I saw the game. It was emotional for both teams. Analy’s big nose tackle was just as “emotional” as E. C. RB/LB. The coach cussed a kid out yeah maybe but for Lemon to single out E.C. is not very professional. The perception is lopsided
November 30th, 2012 at 5:56 pm
Bleacher Coach,Where did you get that stuff from, It was from lack of strengh of Schedule that did us in. The 2008 squad was a well disciplined team that played with passion and joy. Our kids didn’t taunt anyone and didn’t play dirty. Your Opinion is suspect as far as that statement. You want emotionless football. Sorry but if i make a play i’m gonna rejoice with my teammates. Just because some schools frown on it doesn’t make it bad. When you played, Did you play with passion and spirit?Lastly, What about MC with that rush the other sideline stuff, Why do they do that? I think we all know why. I guess you’d say Muhammad Ali had a lack of Sportsmanship! Jet Pride!
November 30th, 2012 at 6:50 pm
chalktalk, you and I have been on the same page before, not often, but however i am not a bigot and YOU will care for the backwoods relatives(white trash) in the old folks home. I come from the Roman Empire, which conquered Carthage and ruled the world, however their politics got in the way of the mission statement and they finally fell after 600 yrs of conquest. You exhibate some intellegence when you get fired up and talk normal without the Bateman riddles. There isn’t one fool on here who really supports you and bye the way I am a person of color from Malta. You should be thanking me for allowing you to speak up and talk your opinion. Remember, usless your 9.9, 21.4, 42 inch vertical leap, your Teaxas high school don;t mean anything. College and stats please, coach White Chalk?

bleacher coach have u been to ANY ec games this year im trying to figure out what have they done to be labeled as unsportsman like what is so bad about this team unlike bod last season gettin 3 personal fouls b4 a game whats so wrong about this team i was at the game i guess i missed what gil lemmon was looking at. dont care 4 that guy much anyway he is a good ole boy network type
December 1st, 2012 at 8:58 am
That’s a great point! It doesn’t seem like BOD got half the crap on these blogs last year for their behavior? I haven’t been to an EC game this year, but their stuff seems pale when compared to the Dragons and their personal fouls last year? I wonder why ?????? Hhhmmmmmmm…
By the way…..I really don’t think that many people care much about this whole EC/Analy thing that aren’t on these blogs. I’m pretty sure you have to dig pretty deep on Google to find this stuff being written about. It just seems like a big deal because we read these blogs. With the lack of high school games this time of year, we all don’t have much to blog about….so this crap is getting major blog time that normally it wouldn’t. Just a thought? Just get outta the way of these kids and let them go on with their incredible season. If ADULTS didn’t get involved last week, the teams probably would have shook hands and this game would be in the books.

If MC were to win tonight the NCS DIv 3 champion would have a victory over the CCS Open DIv Champion! Pretty impressive.
December 1st, 2012 at 1:07 pm
The CCS championship game didn’t have much offense last nite, however a driving rain kept the score down most likely. Interesting if SI gets a shot a a NorCal game.
December 1st, 2012 at 3:26 pm
FB Guru, would that also apply for EC? They would get the regional bid regardless of their attitude? Bleacher is funny.
December 1st, 2012 at 3:42 pm
Perkins, NCS Div 3 winner will get a regional bid. But I wasn’t talking about that, I was making the point that MC beat SI, the CCS Open Division Champion. That would not apply to EC.
December 1st, 2012 at 4:50 pm
MC also has a win over Justin sienna NCS d4 champs
December 1st, 2012 at 4:55 pm
It would if they beat MC.
December 1st, 2012 at 5:09 pm
No, it would mean that EC beat MC. But EC has not beaten SI. MC has beaten SI. EC needs to up their non-league next year with a bellermine, SI, Serra, etc.
December 1st, 2012 at 5:16 pm
But then EC would have beaten MC who beat SI who beat the Bells…
December 1st, 2012 at 5:59 pm
EC wins they get the nod. They beat MC thats very impressive and have a great shot at winning state as well IMO. Great talent on EC roster that will make a big difference in tonights game.
December 1st, 2012 at 9:41 pm
There we go MC!!!! proving all the haters wrong, and yall in the East Bay were bring nothing but hatorade on MC, dont even try to deny it, great friggin game though by both teams
December 1st, 2012 at 10:01 pm
Mc beat EC 31-28, interesting how those Catholic teams have the coaching and disclipine.
December 1st, 2012 at 10:03 pm
no dis to MC, but DeLa would beat MC bye at least 40 points- that tell you something El Cerrito?
December 1st, 2012 at 10:13 pm
gee, 3 tds out of receiver from DLS who is not going to play college football, going to Cal as a baseball pitcher. Cal get him on the football team and you might win a couple of key games.
December 1st, 2012 at 10:40 pm
Great Div 3 game tonight. The running ability of the EC QB is something special. Regional games should be announced tomorrow.
December 1st, 2012 at 10:44 pm
DeLa beat Bellarmine 41-07 the CCS runner-up that tell you something CCS? And you guys want to know if the WCAL wants DeLa Salle.
December 1st, 2012 at 11:45 pm
Great D3 game tonight. El Cerrito deserves all kinds of credit, but MC is the best D3 team in NCS.
December 2nd, 2012 at 12:44 am
Mira Man, forget d3- the story of the nite is Dela beating the great Logan team 52-07. DLS could beat a combined MC/EC team by 40 pts. Throw in Campo, Mira and the Jets too.
December 2nd, 2012 at 1:07 am
I think something could be said for the DLS linebackers laying leather again tonite.
December 2nd, 2012 at 8:34 am
it took de la nearly 30 yrs for a black qb yo mama holla at me when these catholic schools have brothas playing in the trenches not just the skill positions! why dont they recruit black lineman? de la been a real long time since i seen i black lineman that goes for cardinal newman & marin catholic too?

December 2nd, 2012 at 10:13 am
nfl- let’s see, Allen’s kid this yr, Victor Egu this year(he offically plays D line, next year Raider GM kid, Lombardi trophy winner Aaron Taylor to name a few. Bye the way, DLS doesn’t recruit lineman or anyone else. They dont have too.
December 2nd, 2012 at 10:15 am
The Williams family has deep roots at DLS. Demitruis, Williams last yr starting at UNLV as a freshman, the new QB Williams and coach Williams. I think that sums up the Williams family, dont you?
December 2nd, 2012 at 10:22 am
oh I forgot a couple of more lineman, Banks, Brewer, Burrell. Perkins ,and Ross, all on this year’s team , that’s 6 including Allen, with 4 returning next year.
December 2nd, 2012 at 10:23 am
That’s a pretty good recruiting class of lineman Dog. LOL
December 2nd, 2012 at 11:14 am
Marin catholic all time sack leader is DE Marcel Parker, D lineman/TE Bennie Johnson went on to play at Oregon St, his brother D line Justin Johnson went on to star at SFCC and play at Cal, last year J von Lewis was an all league DL…….NFL you ignorant moron
December 2nd, 2012 at 12:01 pm
Suckafree- how are we going to educate these gfools on Catholic football when they are the holy baptist rollers from the south? The best way is to explain how Protesants are Catholic relatives, like it or not and the second way is to have Paula Dean cook up a mess of vitals for them to stick the craw and satisfy the hunger of not winning honey.

i wouldnt say NFL is the biggest moron on here i think lots of people would say its a person that TALKS alot lol but im not sure where nfl is getting his facts from but BOD has had many salesian has had some and st marys in berk has had a whole bunch lorenzo alexander is still in the nfl big 6’6 joe mc neal, tony wallace, john romero c/o 94 went to cal and play in the league a few years the top lineman from there last year nick callender signed with colorado st i can go on and on about this school alone i think this guy is talkin and dont have a clue
