DLS' Most Amazing Record of ALL

My question remains: Out of the 250 names, can you tell me which ones will still be playing in their Jr & Sr years? And also ID which ones will be the studs? Ought be easy since DLS gets all the raw talent.
(Never mind that over 90% of DLS players NEVER have any organized tackle FB experience prior to arriving on campus.) Actually, in Calif., the organized tackle football opportunity (pre HS) really pales in comparison to states like Wash, Tx, Fla, Tn, Al, Ga, Ohio, and quite a few others that have organized school leagues for both public and pvt, starting around 4th grade.

DLS results over the past 30+ yrs are due to the staff and its traditions.

PD, those numbers might have been true when Lad took over and into the 80s and early 90s, but I have a hard time believing that over the last 10 years "over 90% of DLS players ever have any organized tackle FB experience prior to arriving on campus."

There are 49 kids on the DLS frosh roster this year, not 35-40. But assuming your typical 40 players figure, that would mean less than 4 (3 or fewer) had ever played youth FB. That is just no longer the case. I am familiar with just too many kids who played with or against our kids in youth football to buy that number. I would be more likely to believe that only 40% or 50% of the starters played youth tackle football but just the DLS kids from Danville/SR and East County alone clearly are much higher than 3 per year.

2014 DLS Frosh Roster

A lot of that stuff I agree with. I believe DLS has a lot of stuff going on, besides just talent. With that said, I just don't like when people come on here and act like 50 freshman just showed up on the frosh team and somehow became some of the best players in the state, based solely on the "magician," as you would say...

DLS has the best players...PERIOD. They are not confined to any district boundaries. Those are facts. Now, with that being said, they obviously have a great program and great coaches. Their winning traditions draw people to the school that wouldn't have normally considered going there. I got that.

But...don't come on here and prophesize that DLS wins solely based on coaching and tradition. You have to have the horses...period.

NCSF- You working tomorrow!?

G- Unlike you who probably has a cush government job, I work for myself and got things done today. I don't mind, I love what I do. Unfortunately, you are probably out of your paid holidays

When I was at Ygnacio Valley, we beat DLS.

Hey Rob, are you still doing that thing you do?

 

[NCSF]

Dooer- Yes I am. Tony and I are still going. Started this thing back in 1992. I do a lot of writing, lots of consulting for groups throughput the country, and I get to help players in their goal to play at the next level. How's everything your way. Los Gatos has certainly turned out a great deal of players the last 20 years!

Hey Rob, I sent you a email from a old address I had and it bounced. If you still have mine, send me yours. Thanks

Yes, LG has had a lot of great players from multiple sports, except basketball for some reason. You would think that their tennis and golf teams would be better, considering the demographics.

I've actually followed DLS for a long time, as one of my friends went there. I've even made the trip up to Concord a few times to see them. My late dad lived a mile away. Considering their success, the accomodations are certainly not what you would expect of a HS powerhouse. It probably pales to Folsom, which I've never seen.

Try the email on our site and I should get it. I need to recover a lot of the old e mails. Working on doing some alumni dinners and things. Looking forward to watching the Giants next year as the left side of the infield are alumni for us and played three years each.

To me, the best stat of all for DLS is that, starting from LAD…

DLS has more section titles than losses over the same time span

 

[Golfpilot]

I can't wait for next season when Folsom loses a game to someone other than DLS and 6G1 never posts on here again

You DLS pukes are the worst. Don't the Catholics teach humility? You guys always have to brag about DLS is this and DLS is that. Is that what Jesus teaches you?

 

[NCSF]

Jimmy- You need to really grow up. Come up with a good point if you are capable but the name thing is juvenile. You sound like an illiterate kid.

On behalf of pukes everywhere, I really must take exception to that statement. I've seen much worse pukes than us.
