They earned their reputation by looting players from El Cerrito to Martinez and playing in the BVAL against talent pools they weakened. I doubt they've needed to do too much of that in the last 15 years, as their reputaion preceeds them. Not taking away from their acomplishments, other than the fact that they achieved them with a severe competative advantage.

It's the way of the private schools I guess. Fuck 'em.

I stayed in town and played for Terra Linda High School which had always played CN for the North Coast Section finals and would lose by a few points every time they played during CN state record of wins in a row.

By my soph. and junior years we ended up winning the state 3A title two years in a row ...

There were no State Titles in California High School Football until about 5 years ago, and even those are shady at best. Before that there were only Sectional Division Titles

It is why De La Salle is only credited with 3 state titles, they have been to the Bowl Games every year and have gone 3-2 in them. Beat Corona Centennial, Servite and I forget who else for the third, lost to Corona Centennial and Canyon Country Canyon in the other 2.

Best of luck to De La Salle tonight, it hasnt turned out well for Cal schools to go to the east coast for games this year. I wonder if those east coast schools will make return visits

Cal-Hi Sports.... ranked the teams back in the day.

So one of those mythical state championships a school claims when it never played anyone from the other parts of the state?
At least one of the ones Fontana claimed in 89 and 87 or so was legit when they played and beat De La Salle and Elk Grove and Mackateer those years.


Didnt make it to the Mission Poly game tonight, my son didnt go either, said he got a text that Mission was winning. Poly was suppose to be pretty good, heard they trashed Grant in Sacramento

Poly won by a few points.... and Shaq "daddy".... went out early in the game due to a hammy I think....

Poly in no way came close to rolling Grant....

There is the root cause of so many issues with today's kids. Parents don't discipline them for their actions, instead they point the finger at the authority figure and coddle their kids and tell them it isn't their fault. Sadly, these parents are just hurting their kids in the long run. I sadly have first hand knowledge around this and have seen it first hand. I was invited to speak to two 3rd grade classes and incorporate a math lesson into a discussion about flying. One boy was loud and disruptive and wouldn't pass along the show and tell items I brought. After a warning I told him he would have to go sit in the hall and miss the rest of the time if he didn't pass the items along and stop talking. He didn't and I sent him outside. The teacher backed up my discipline and I thought nothing more of it. Problem was the mom was pissed her kid missed out on the rest of the lesson and talk because her kid loves planes and wants to be a pilot. Next thing you know I am in a meeting with the teacher, principal and mother. I listened to her jump the teacher and principal before I read her the riot act and told her exactly what I thought of her and how I was sorry for her kid in that he had her as a mother. I also threw in that I knew the school employees couldn't say what they wanted to say less she run to the school board and try to get them fired.

Lefty, I agree with this in general principle. That being said, however, any discipline has to be reasonable. I happen to think that what you did to that kid was reasonable, and that what Schnick's kid's coaches are doing to him in consideration of Schmick's kid's behavior -- insubordination and instigating a fight with a teammate -- is reasonable. If it is not, however, I will speak out in support of my kid, and sadly, I have plenty of experience with that.

When my son was in fourth grade, he acted out, and his teacher made him stand in a corner with his back to his class, and asked the class whether they'd ever felt threatened or intimidated by him. Mind you, this was in 2007, not 1947.

Another time, my kid was stumped on a math problem, and went to the same teacher for help. She showed him a way to answer the problem, then told him to return to his desk and write out his work the same way she told him. He went back to his desk, thought about the problem some more, then figured out a different way to reach the correct answer, and did it that way. The teacher wrote a referral on him for insubordination due to the fact that he didn't follow her instructions. Thing is, one of the major problems with education in our country is that we graduate far too many kids from high school who don't have a clue how to think for themselves. And that's exactly what my kid did that time, albeit in a minor manner. But he should have been praised for that, not punished.

Another time, he punched a classmate and received a three-day out-of-school suspension. I didn't have a problem with that, until I found out that another of his classmates did the same thing, and the only consequence that classmate received was that school officials notified his parents. Of course, the other kid was viewed as a star athlete. My kid is a good athlete but wasn't viewed as one of the star athletes.

Things got so bad that when it came time for his sister to start school, we put her in a Catholic school, mostly because we were afraid that she'd walk in with a label before she ever started, and that she'd be punished for minor things that they wouldn't even bother punishing other kids for.

I wouldn't wish the school district I live in on my worst enemy, and I honestly think that the best thing for both my kids would be to move to a different school district and give them a fresh start. Unfortunately, my wife grew up in this town, has lived here all her life, and thinks that it's a little slice of heaven here on earth. Getting her to move would be like pulling teeth.

Rant over.

Out-of-school suspensions are rewards. Whatever happened to in-school suspensions? I did a few of those, they were pure hell.

Poly lost to Mission last night

so MTOOL is this board's version of Al Bundy...

got it


and Schmick...good lord teach your kids some fucking humility...fuck...so he didn't travel or whatever tell that little coin purse to man up and take the news like a man...fuck...

He was mad he didnt go but he never said anything about that, he told an 11th grader that played like shit that maybe he should have stayed at home and played on the JV team so he could have played in his place. The 11th grader hit him and then my son beat the shit out of him, if anyone is a coin purse its the 11th grader who hit a 10th grader first and then got his butt whooped.

I think it is a forgone conclusion now that the grandparents are involved, both of my sons will be playing at Servite next year.

wow your kids make great teammantes...

sin,

no they don't


what a fucking joke...your kids are all about ME...why don't they play an indiviual sport like tennis or bowling so this way they can blame the raquet, the alley, etc when things don't go their way...way to teach your kids that it's ok to be an assclown and be all about themselves...

He hasn't played on a TEAM that has lost a game in 4 years now. Is he supposed to let some butt hurt player who cant take smack talk from a younger player punch him and not do anything about it? He stood up for himself and I have no problem with that. The coaches want to run him for an hour after practice every day for 2 weeks now, I have no problem with that either, the other player should be running too though. I don't even have a problem with them pulling him off the online rosters and with holding his stats. If he feels he is not going to get a fair shot at Varsity because of it and decides he wants to start new and play elsewhere, I'm going to support him, he will only have 2 years of HS left then he will be off to college so I'm going to do all that I can to make sure he is happy.

Yeah, or maybe he just learns to keep his fucking mouth shut.
