Pleasant Grove went 3-7 last season and the JV team did not do much better, the Eagles gave Jesuit a game, in league play but lost 28-21...the 2015 season does not look much better, the new coach has a lot of work to do on building a team that went 3-7 last season...The Delta league has a lot of teams that will be almost loaded....How will this team do since they have a new coach? Will they still be challenging for League Championships & Playoffs?
This area that pleasant Grove is in is loaded with kids, but almost all are way to young yet to change Pleasant Groves' future and more home construction is on the way....What kind of talent is on the way is a big question.....The current roster for Pleasant Grove lacks size, although the line appears to be in the 230 plus range....Just maybe the new coach will be able to create a team that can compete.Looks like a second straight losing season for Pleasant Grove. The Elk Grove/Sacramento market is so hard to stay on top of, which makes programs like Folsom, Grant and Del Oro even more impressive. Any slip up in talent and/or coaching turnover, and you fall from the top and it is tough to climb back.
Jesuit went through some lean years. Monterey Trail slipped back after trips to section finals and are just starting to come back. NU fell way off. And the list goes on.
It's a shame that staff isn't together winning section championships anymore.
I agree with you that PG won't be remembered but it want be because of upset losses. The only game PG lost in that stretch that could be considered an upset was the Granite Bay lost. I do believe PG was the favorite over GB going in. The lost to St. Mary's in the 2008 SJS championship game and the lost @ Nevada Union in the 2009 semi-finals should not be considered upsets in my opinion. If I remember correctly, that St. Mary's team was the pre-season favorite to win the section that year. With that being said, the biggest upset lost in that stretch was the season opener against Lincoln of Stockton at the Del Oro Classic in 2011. Lincoln knocked out two of PG's best players in that game for the season.
