I remember watching an ESPN special one time about De La Salle football. Their head coach even said it himself that he's probably not the best X'sand O's guy. But he has his players write down their goals for the week on a 3x5 card and they partner up with another teammate. That teammate makes surethat their partner is working his hardest in practice to prep him for the game so he can accomplish his written goals. Plus, they have team dinners where allthe players are invited to the coach's house on Thursday night, and the parents are welcome to attend as well. I think they're really good becausethey have a very strong CAMARADERIE with one another. They trust one another on and off the field, which translates to huge success.
De La Salle FTW!

Tech has been trash since Lynch left...the O.A.L. (Oakland Athletic Leauge) as a whole is pretty pathetic right now, the talent is there in some casesbut there are just to many other issuesOriginally Posted by G00NIE GOO GOO
I just remember watching the CIF State Title games the past season where D1, D2, and D3 schools from north and south played each other. Out of all the matchups, only one Nor Cal team won and it was De La Salle by 3 points (over my high school btw). Is the talent gap that wide?
Oh and speaking of Oakland Tech, I remember reading about Long Beach Poly trying to schedule a game with them down here. I wonder if that actually happened. I can't even imagine a combination of Oakland and Long Beach crowds together
edit: SoCal heads love to beat their chest but your best teams SHOULD beat our best teams...The number of athletes down there far exceed the number up here innorcal...Outside the bay are there isnt a single school worth mentioning when it comes to athletic programs...i guess St Marys of Stockton is an exception butthats more central cali anyway

James Logan (my school) was a problem last year, shoutout to Rashad Evans.
I agree....and live in the same area.
They beat my HS to get the record originally. Wheaties box, holla.
They didn't (don't know if this has since changed) have mirrors in their weightroom.
If you wanted to be on special teams, you had to write an essay as to why you're a crazy mf'er and should be considered.
They weren't allowed to talk *#+ to the other team, i.e - Poly, even if the other team was or they'd be pulled. Don't know how strict they wereon that one...
If you were caught doing illegal *#+ (at least if you weren't a starter...lol) you wouldn't get your championship ring (or whatever they gave out).

That song was EVERYWHERE when it first dropped. Good thing we won or that would have looked real bad

I agree. That 98-03 run with DJ Williams, Ken Simon, Demetrius Williams, and Maurice Drew were some amazing teams. We were beating them at halftime in2000.
