Orange County Forums

USC would be a mistake for Bryce. Too many Orange County stars go there and have their careers killed. Likewise, I feel like Bryce just has a style that is too different from what we've traditionally seen at SC. It feels like an Aaron Corp situation to me for some reason.

f the kids were out of line, the school will discipline very quickly. I guarantee you if these were MD, Servite, SM or JSerra kids and the facts were in line with the narrative, the kids would be in very deep doo doo. However, there is other video that disputes the way this story has been reported....

Also, shout-out to the Bosco fans who were cheering really loud when Bosco was on offense. I think they caused a couple of false start penalities

589892 I’ve always thought MD should shout back on “RED glare ...” Nah, instead Mater Dei just honors the 1st Marine Division at every football game they are a part of. No big deal :cheers: 589892 Holdbacks. Don’t forget the (private school) holdbacks. Oh believe me, I didn't lol! I'm not even sure...

It's been a long time since I've been to an MD game, and the last couple of times I went to a CIF Final game MD lost, so I was planning to stay away this year but my buddy invited me and I couldn't say no. Some thoughts: -Parking situation at Cerritos College was kind of a joke. Lots of confused peo...

I just read the article, seems like the main takeaways are the forced Private vs. Public Playoffs and more red tape for potential transfers. What I'm personally curious about is whether there is competitive equity among the public schools in Texas. In Southern California you take the privates out of...

Taylor King is a shinning example of how overbearing parents+pot can borderline ruin someone's life. He's lucky that he got to play a semblance of a professional career, but I feel bad for him given what some of his peers have accomplished in comparison (e.g. Klay Thomas, and Kevin Love).

Anyway, you think Stanley Johnson will last in the NBA? because MD still has yet to produce a player that will last long in the NBA, even as a bench player. The post MD life for the majority of the programs' players does raise some eyebrows but I would argue that no high school should focus on send...

568403 If that school wanted to get to the bottom of who was leading the chants and or directly making certain remarks, they could have. I've been involved with corporate investigations, have knowledge of how proper school investigations are conducted and it IS NOT that difficult to find what you a...

That player on Santa Margarita (linebacker #32) was directly yelling the same racial slur at MD offensive players after every touchdown his defense surrendered in a 40 point loss in 2016. But yeah, I'm sure some good ol' conditioning work had him realizing the error of his ways!! Shoot, good point,...

568393 The "organization" was their entire student section, which simply renamed itself "The Asylum" (appropriate on many levels) and carried on. Lets not pretend like making monkey sounds at black athletes, calling them slurs, and CHANTING at multi-racial players "which one are you?" and "where is...

Which Servite very publicly corrected by apologizing for its student body, holding an all school meeting to address the behavior, and disbanding that organization to prevent it from happening again...

First ir was MD recruits, then they cheat, then they take Senior transfers, Now they CURSE!!! ( Hide the woman and children ) the sky is falling!!! I thought the venom for MD was bad before, but to point out that boys full of testosterone actually curse before a football game, "OH DEAR"!!!!! Eh...a...

So I had to terminate a few of our new hires who were fresher out of college earlier this week. We weren't their first employers by any means, but their first serious foray into their chosen field. Their biggest issues largely had to deal with overall professionalism and work ethic. Jumping out of t...

Anyone else to the point where you don't even other to read, you just look at the name and move on? Pretty soon just reading the thread name will suffice... Yeah I'm totally at this point. It's always "Hmm here's a good bit of text criticizing Mater Dei this could be an interesting read...oh its Do...

567551 Still admirable that you did those volunteer hours no doubt. Just wish the school did more when we all know (1) the area is bad, and (2) the school, families and alumni have the skills and resources to do more / do better. Let's see...Mater Dei had a program where it sent its theater classes...

So Patty, do you or any of your MD classmates live in the neighborhood directly around the school? Don’t bother responding because we all know the answer. Great area, huh? :roll: Is there a single poster on here who would rather live next to MD than SMCHS? Should we check Zillow and see which area ...

Came here to ask the same thing. Glad he's doing well! Do miss his posts though. He always seemed to contribute some good activity.

Didn't Santa Margarita have a shooting by it a year or two ago? I don't think that's happened anywhere near Mater Dei in the past decade or so.

566820 I'd agree with this, except I think it's all families, not just the 'rich' ones. Having great sports programs does not hurt though. It helps with exposure to more families IMHO. I moved here in early 90's and the private high school I heard about was Mater Dei and that was from people who di...
