Great Streak Comes To An End.

[Marcskit]

It seems almost fitting it came at the hands of a WCAL team. I personally have said for years, DLS should have been part of that
League. The League has always had several teams, that if the Spartans had to play week in and out, they would have been challenged
More to the task.
I know there was the Old saw about travel, but I always felt it could have been dealt with. Just my thoughts is all. What a great tradition that has come to an end. A New Beginning perhaps?

Here's wishing you great football

Amazing streak. On the 20th year anniversary of 9-11. Remember.. it’s only football.

Agree they should have always been in this league, travel issues could have been resolved. I personally always felt that was a excuse to avoid joining, not a valid reason.

It is only football, it’s also heart breaking the oligarchy seems to have forgotten 9/11

It would have been taxing for sure( the travel that is) but it wouldn't have been just for football, it would have been for all sports. But you know what? The San Francisco Catholic schools ( St Ignatius, Archbishop Riordan,Sacred Heart Prep) have been doing it for years. Pretty close to the same mileage I would think

Concord to San Jose 55 miles
San Francisco to San Jose 48 miles

Even with other sports in play it can be done. This team travels yearly it seems all over but can’t travel in the Bay Area? To me it always seemed more excuse than valid reason Like I said. The teams in the Trinity league aren’t exactly neighbors so it’s certainly feasible.

What are the distances between the Trinity League schools? Any 48-55 miles apart?

 

[Truthhertz]

Longest probably around 40-45 miles I would say. But in SoCal traffic that’s a ways……

 

[LecheDeMiPalo]

Has anyone ever considered the fact that maybe……….

just MAYBE, it’s the WCAL schools that don’t have any De La Salle as a member and not the other way around?

Exactly…. How many teams want to have to Beat DLS in a League a game and then have to beat them in the playoffs….

I seem to remember DLS stating they didn’t want the travel I maybe wrong it’s been known to happen.

The BVAL and the EBAL have both had to deal with that before.DLS has been in both of those leagues and is currently in the EBAL I think

 

[pastyfastquick3]

Very impressed with the Lancers last night. Total class act program and dominated the game from start to finish. It actually could have been much worse if it wasn't for a few mishaps and coaching errors with trying to play it safe.

Go Lancers!!!!! Huge fan!

This was true 2005-13, two 4 year realignment cycles. Following, the EBAL/NCS guys gave an auto-bid to playoffs to dLS, and the OG schools can hang a banner. All other sports, arguably with more talent/coaching equity, continue as EBAL “league.”

FWIW, Lopoz/Lad/Eidson were very content getting into EBAL when the BVAL had had enough. Saved $ for other “expenses,” and the hometown rivalries of SRV/MV, Foothill/AV, Liv/Gran meant they got Cal High in week 10…the public which got closest more than once to doing what St Francis did last night.

 

[observer22]

I know they’ve both “officially retired”, but are Lad & Eidson still helping out on the coaching, or have they completely stepped away yet?

I don't know the inner workings, but from what I have gathered is they are sounding boards when needed, but don't have fingerprints on the team (outside of the foundation of the program they laid)
