Orange County Forums

Not exactly a whole lot going on these days. I'd expect it to pick back up as the season draws closer. Increasingly though the major topics of discussion are of national consequence and therefore the boards that cater towards that topic is where they are discussed. I have no doubt however that soon ...

They were up 39 late in the fourth on a running clock. Apperently that counts as a part of the game “that matters.” Kept every single starter in. But it was the “#13 team in the nation,” never mind they were minus 2 of their best players including the top recruit in the nation and their best WR. So...

No those kids had plenty of time in the Servite game. Unlike that game this one mattered.

No issue with the starters staying in vs. the #13 team in the nation on the road in the Division I semi-finals.

Thank you for helping me make my point 33% of the top players are from the BIG #, geography for some is the ONLY THING that prevents them from going to the BIG 3 75% of the final 4 are the BIG 3, ONE of the BIG 3 will be C.I.F Champ and State Champ.I appreciate you pointing it out better than I did...

CC doesn't get ALL the talent, you are correct, they get ALL the talent that matters Just like Bosco, they don't get ALL the talent from the Long Beach area that POLY used to get, they simply get ALL THAT MATTERS, they get the difference makers. You take Bosco's second team send them back to POLY a...

Logan isn't going anywhere He OWNS the inland empire, any kid who can play gets into CC, I don't know about district transfers, but any parent who thinks their kid can play moves 9(IF NECESSARY ) into an apartment in the CC neighborhood! There is NO OTHER CHOICE in the I.E. You want to be seen?, Yo...

I was far more satisfied with the Orange Lutheran victory than I was with the JSerra win. JSerra might be of the quality that a win over them in any fashion is one to cherish. We will know more once they play Orange Lutheran next week. Although O Lu kept hanging around yesterday I was never particul...

I think you are correct. Or at least I hope you are correct. There is time and ability for them to improve. But they certainly need to improve.

I'm sorry I should have been more clear. yes they did. It looked like an illegal substitution? I couldn't quite see.

We'll see how they look next week, I predict a drastic improvement. What did you think of JSerra, good, but not that good? They are well put together I would say. They won't beat themselves and have plenty of talent. Maybe in hindsight JSerra is closer to the top two than previously thought. They d...

Brutal penalty when Bosco was about to punt will probably be the end of this. With that said, a tough night in Bellflower. The team that took the field tonight can't touch Materi Dei in their current form. They have a lot to improve upon in a short amount of time.

They do but honestly it's kind of hard to say what exactly they have this year because they haven't really been tested yet? The running game should be fantastic but obviously DJ has a lot of expectations on this year as well. 3rd turnover of the half for Bosco BTW.

Bosco has definitely looked rusty tonight. You can read into that what you want. But JSerra deserves a lot of credit so far. I've been very impressed. Their defense has cut the downfield off from Boscos passing attack.

Gonna put Bosco on upset alert against JSerra. Lions are moving the ball effectively and Bosco's offense has struggled so far. Lions look more than ready to play. Can't say the same for Bosco.

Leaving " No Doubt", then MD will be number 1 again... National champs.

The path for both is as straight forward as you could want it to be. Win out and and win the National Championship. My Mater Dei cheering yesterday was a one time event but entirely justified.

Congratulations Mater Dei. Fantastic game.

And I thought Niklas would have lasted longer.

Completely agree. He was still a project when he came out and the results speak to that. One more year at SC would have been he recipe for being drafted.

Bosco had four get cut today:

Damien Mama/Dallas
Nico Falah/Tennessee
Shay Fields/Washington
Jacob Tuioti-Mariner/Atlanta

Seems like Falah and Tuioti-Mariner might be practice squad guys. Mama has done that for a few seasons now as well so who knows.

Rosen obviously is on the Cardinals roster.

It will be a sad day for all of Southern California Football when Rollo retires. There is plenty to criticize Mater Dei for at times but this isn't one of them frankly. This can happen a WHOLE lot easier than you may think. Especially at a school with so many athletes like Mater Dei. They thought th...
