ncscalfootball......Wood is going to run all over Vintage, every one saw how Wood took care of Freedom, but in this case the score will be lope sided...Its too bad, back in the day, Vintage use to field good teams....Wood hosts Vintage.

Yep the old MEL was a powerful football league. Sad to see teams like Vallejo,Vintage, and Airfield a mere shadow of what they once were.@Bluedog2, yeah I know...attended Vaca High in the 80's...back in those days the MEL was doing real well against Out Of League Games. Vacaville, Vintage, Vallejo, Napa, Fairfield and at times Hogan. As for Armijo,,,well it's Armijo...I am going for Wood since i went there when it was a Jr. High....it's just them league games sometimes can be a head scratcher at times...thank everyone
Winghunter....This is a problem at Mt.Diablo and most of the schools in the bay area....Today's kids would rather hang out do as little as possible in school and later on they will wonder how come I can't find a job....What's sad is a lot of these kids can't read or write and most don't care.....When I look at App.s, most are incomplete or they can't spell and their language while trying to feel them out is worse then terrible.....With all the kids walking around Fairfield and Vallejo, it's mind boggling they can't field a competitive football team.
WingHunter...Isn't that the truth....That's too bad Bluedog, athletics teaches you so much more than blocking, throwing, catching, etc..
You're right ncscalfb, don't know what the problem is.It has to be coaching and the general state of the football programs themselves. No excuses as far as enrollment goes.Vallejo schools need some new blood to revitalize the programs. Bethe started off great when the school opened around 1999.Then it has just gradually declined.Similiar situation with Rodriguez in Airfield.When they first opened that school they were winning and contending for section titles in D2.Havent heard much from them in a while@remc, i thought i read another thread or something that even Bethel is having a hard time fielding a team...they were doing well before...those Vallejo teams should have the numbers since Hogan closed down.
Guys.....When American Canyon opened, didn't a large piece of Vintage plus Vallejo become American Canyon which didn't help?????....Bethel and Rodriguez both have run out of new blood, so now its a case of the next group of kids to step forward and it hasn't happened. When Hogan closed down and was combine with Vallejo, the thinking was it would jump start Vallejo, but they are no better off then before.....You're right ncscalfb, don't know what the problem is.It has to be coaching and the general state of the football programs themselves.

Agree about American Canyons impact, but I think it hurt Vintage far more since AC was always Vintage territory. As far as affecting the Vallejo schools, the Vallejo kids that attend AC are more "hand picked" for athletic purposes, so there is no crush of Vallejo kids going to AC, just mostly athletes,football players in particular. At least that's my observation, having coached some of those kids in youth football.Guys.....When American Canyon opened, didn't a large piece of Vintage plus Vallejo become American Canyon which didn't help?????....Bethel and Rodriguez both have run out of new blood, so now its a case of the next group of kids to step forward and it hasn't happened.

I would have to agree Napa's staff seems to have a handle on things that being said, Wood is loaded with athletes and has speed to spare. Woods Coaches seem to gameplay pretty good as well so I would expect an exciting game. Napa's only chance is to dominate the trenches, even then their chance is just a punchers chance. Even when your right in the trenches vs an Oregon style spread your taken advantage of. Those Lewis brothers are super talented RBs. The Qb is shifty and seems to like to throw on the run, the WRs have yet to be stopped by any of the 5 teams they've faced. Speaking of D their #40 LB is averaging over 18 tackles per game even if Woods coaches are inflating D stats that's crazy tackles and he's backed up by #2 safety who's booking crazy tackles as well. My money goes with Wood in this match up. Napa's best chance may be pray for rain and mud to slow the Wood scoring machine.I think Napa does a great job of taking the other team off their game and forcing them to do things they are not comfortable with, Pitman & Campo are two examples this year. The Napa staff does a great job at game planning and getting the best out of their players, this has been a staple of the program for years. I think they'll scheme well enough to slow down the wood passing game, not stop but slow down. The wood defense will not be able to stop Napa on offense consistently, I expect Napa will win.
I will be shocked if Wood is able to get anywhere near the numbers they have posted to date.
