You are 100 percent correct. After you rolled for years on top sometimes as a administration you just say let’s focus on how we dominated. The thing that cracks me up is those teams during the streak didn’t need 20 plus D1 atheletes to prove anything. They took what they had, had a recruit here and there, and a bunch of smart committed under size kids for the most part on a football field and called it a day. In todays atmosphere with just how much it costs to live around some of the WCAL schools, and De La Salle, St Mary’s Berkeley, you name it, those private schools are lucky to field quality teams in any sport. And right now Riordan is in a great spot landing a great coach and the sky’s the limit. However education comes first. I saw on another thread how well maybe kids can just go to Gunn. Well maybe Gunn is just a soccer spot, 3 major league soccer players to date, and some of the other alum outside of sports, how can you hate that. And that education doesn’t come with a tuition or registration fee, nor cost of books.
Is Sparty Done!?

Also in the NCS you can’t just transfer and play right away. It happened some during Covid but now unless your ENTIRE family moves you will have a sit out period. Waivers/hardships are rare.
Maybe I’m old school (I’m not old though) but I prefer the DLS way over MD/SJB. I know DLS “indirectly” recruits 8th graders but they still have to develop them and they grow as a team.
this mercenary stuff isn’t HS football. It’s Pre Juco.

i have no issue with mercenary ball, but I think like the Mercenary Academies in hoops they should play each other….there is 10-15 private mercenary camps around the country, they should just fly around the country and play each other while being sponsored by ESPN and having spotlight games every weekend…..that be something I would watch
you don’t see Prolific Prep playing Cloverdale HS to beat them by 80-100 points, they go out and play other highly recruited band of Mercenaries from all over to make for some competitive games

Patsy, we agree and totally disagree on a few things. You thread is now up to page 3. If De La Salle beats Folsom this season, are you prepared and are you going to stick around.
best comment hands down in this thread. You are absolutely right. Let’s have Prolific Prep play a few Trinity schools on the hoop court and a few local private schools close to them. it would not even be close. Hell they would smoke De La Salle
I don't know why you guys keep thinking these kids are already developed. Even if you are a 4 star or 5 star, college coaches have to continue to refine your game, technique, IQ, and etc. These kids like Dutch Horsik, Peter Langi, and even senior transfer Aaron Williams have to continue to be developed and coached in the Trinity. Development and refinement of your craft never ends. You're always learning something new, so quit the mercenary bs.
For the NCS problem, you can fix it real easy. Just help out the financials or tuition, make sure nothing funny, and it can be fixed easy. I don't know why these are such difficult concepts for you Silicon Valley,/SF people. I thought yall were ahead of the curve and "cutting edge" with all your disruption unicorn companies around.
and this is precisely why De La Salle is the radio shack, blockbuster, Mervyns, and bed bath and beyond of high school football. I watched their past 2 games, that program is not viable. Unfortunately San Francisco Bay Area...being the Bay Area.... lacks competition for DLS. I was elated with someone like Serra was finally able to beat DLS, but until I see more competitive programs, I think DLS can coast by on complacency
I agree Dickey will probably not make the NFL. Somehow Davante Adam’s did, but you make a great point
what's going on with the mood here. Why are so many people in the bay area/silicon valley so reluctant to improve their program and be the best at their craft. Yall act like building a winning program and instilling good character attributes in kids are mutually exclusive. Well you're wrong.
In my professional, personal, and athletic life I strive to be the best. I want to see how far I can go and how good I can become. I don't point fingers and say to myself I can't do this, I can't do that. I learn to adapt and to overcome. Why are you older gentlemen so reluctant to change and so reluctant to build your programs. You just give up once you hear that someone has recruited so and so. After losing so many times, you have to adapt to the market place or risk being left behind. If I'm a parent in Northern Cal with a kid that has the IT factor, I can't send him to yalls program, he is going down south or at best to Folsom then.

Lots to digest here QPR.
I’ve never heard anyone refer to high school football as a ”market place”. And perhaps due to my ‘old age’, using such a term saddens me. In the same way the transfer portal and the NIL have begun damaging college football, I’m proud of the reluctance of Nor Cal to become Trinity League North. There is ALOT more to high school than just football. Us ‘older gentlemen” still consider these kids student-athletes, not just ‘athletes’ Which you seem to insinuate The experiences gained in the classroom, local neighborhoods, these kids community are just as valuable as those gained on the field. You think the kids in DPH would still hold Shaq Thompson as a ‘Hero’ had he moved down to play at Mater Dei? Would Arik Armstead be giving so much back to Sactown as a NFL Pro had he spent his HS career at SJB. I don’t doubt the potential advantages on the playing field for many of these kids who transfer, move or drive hours to simply play ball at a TOP TIER school, but I also recognize there are life experiences that are lost for many who won’t ever get those opportunities back. All 90+ kids ain’t making it to the NFL - not a chance.
You do you, and I’ll do me. But don’t act as though the ‘one size fits all‘ mantra (Trinity League or bust) is what’s best for everyone. There’s more to high school than trying to win a state title in FB.

It’s Funny how all you do is Bash DLS (Undersized linemen, Boring Veer Offense), Root for DLS to lose and take shots at Serra…. Yet you have not said one negative thing about Folsom…..
You wanted Folsom to beat Serra and now you say the only place you would send your kid up here is Folsom…..
Sounds like you are just another of Folsom’s SuperFan/waterboy @pastyfastquick3 ‘s many screen names…
Again I ask you…. Who is your TL team?…🤣
The DLS parents will soon be taking their kids to Serra and moving to Belmont or Burlingame! Starting in 3-2-1
I asked that same question, what Trinity league school did QPR go to. Never got a answer. But good catch, is this a burner identity for another, “Folsom” does make it interesting
I started at one of the original schools of the Serra league as it was known back in my day. We had some of the top prospects in the country who then played for Pete Carroll at SC. I then transferred to my local public school which has a strong program, and like many public schools here in CIF SS recruits openly. I know the level of play down here with the Trinity and the public schools, and I hope NorCal can catch up but the attitude and aspirations from the coaches and AD's needs to change.
I keep putting pressure on DLS but these guys really don't want to do anything and rather just regress. I'm rooting for Folsom since their area has the demographics to support the game and the admin is supportive. I hope Coach Walsh or Pittsburg can keep up and try to improve their programs. One can only take so many butt whippings and L's from the SoCal powers until they do something different. Like Albert Einstein said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
BS…..
Are all the things you Clam Nor Cal should do really actually working in So Cal?…..
You have 2 teams that no one can beat…. The rest of So Cal is not that great…. Your Mighty TL Team OLU even Lost to a San Diego team in the 1-AA Regional last year…. 🤣
So I would say what So Cal is doing is actually Not working other then for MD and SJB….
But you know this because you are really the Folsom guy posing as a So Cal Poster…. Nice Try…. 🤣🤣
So great response, proves your are legit. But where were you when De La Salle beat Mater Dei 34-6, and 42-0 in 1999 and two other times during the streak. Where was Mater Dei then. Sure we can say what have you done for me lately, but let’s keep it real here. Fact is you smash De La Salle, but ultimately it is them who made others step the hell up and one of the best AD’s who you say should take a back seat is a huge part of that in all sports. They accepted all challenges, called for challenges. For Christ sakes their boys basketball team went up against Oak Hill Academy twice cause they didn’t care who they had to face. So let’s get back to the almighty list of athletes making long careers. And maybe Mater Dei’s AD should focus on other sports than just football. I am a WCAL graduate 1991, a WCAL assistant 1999-2006, I know what goes down in the private schools. But I also know it doesn’t take a bunch of D1 athletes to prove shit. Cause we had 2, a bunch of role players and a banner hanging beating a team with two long career NBA players along with a NFL player at center. So you can pump all this crap, but at the end of the day success comes in many ways. Not just because a team loaded up and sends buses all over the damn place. That’s my experience, appreciate you sharing yours, Trinity is on top right now, but I have seen enough guys say I am going to be the man at my school. That’s the part you don’t get. 50 D1 athletes in the Trinity, many might want to consider a major when they get that free ride. That’s not hate, that’s not being stupid, that is high school sports fact. So do us a favor, don’t knock what we got, we got kids that play for the love and every once in a while we have great players in nor cal. They just don’t all get sucked in to going to one school and per my previous post, many went to public schools were they grew up. In closing to knock De La Salle is like a Golden State Warriors fan saying F the Lakers. Fact is the Lakers still have a reputation that many need to do a tad bit of catching up.
Honestly I think the guy is legit. But until he produces a Marshawn Lynch, Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams. Tom Brady, and now a Dickey, how about STFU. This dude spits hella game yet doesn’t prove jack. Good to be on top, but longevity and history ranks over all. I am gonna make a huge effort to get back up to Sac for the basketball state title games which I did almost 15 years in a row. If a Trinity team ain’t it, I am calling for AD’s heads
He is Completely full of Crap…. His post is all generic BS…. There is No So Cal poster on any Boards that says what he says while Bashing DLS and Rooting for Folsom….
No So Cal Poster on any Board would say “Public Schools in the CIF SS Openly Recruit”….. And no So Cal Poster would spend so much time on a Nor Cal Board saying Nor Cal has to do what So Cal does because So Cal doesn’t care about what Nor Cal is doing…. That’s not how people from So Cal Roll….
you can choose to believe me or not. I'm here in the epicenter of high school football in the US, I know the cutting edge developments that are taking place in the game both schematically, operation wise, and procedurally.
There are a ton of public schools in CIF SS that openly recruit. MV, Inglewood, Los Al, CEN10, and even less prominent public schools which I will not name to protect their privacy. Everybody recruits. High school football in Southern California is a business. To put it in perspective so you bay area people can comprehend, it's an emerging business down here disrupting the old status quo industry. Changing the game and making it more professional at the youth level with the academies, position training, offseason workouts, and 7 on 7 clubs like Proway/GroundZero. It's like Brian Chesky of Airbnb said, you either grow or you die. Yall have to adapt or be left behind.

I will Chose Not….
Again, if So Cal was So Great other then MD and SJB why does Nor Cal win the Majority of the SBG’s every year?…. 🤣
If So Cal was so Great why did MD have to Sue the CIF to open the transfer flood gates so they could compete with Public School Cen10 and poor old Boring Veer running DLS with all their Undersized linemen and Bad Coaching….. 🤣🤣

Everytime I visit a sick family member or friend in the hospital, I re-enact this script using the curtains that separates the beds in the room. LOL!
God help the hospital & staff if we should have to share a room together. When I was stroke recovering, my favorite was to tell the newest patient when they came into the patient lunch room or group therapy session for their first time how fantastic they looked after having been asleep for the past 7 months(of course not true, maybe only a day or so after being admitted to the ICU floor).....loved the panicked expression on their face as they sought out a nurse for the current date.
Translation = strawman/diversionary handle, I live across the street from a state prison...haha!!!
High school football in Southern California is a business. You can still rep your town and neighborhood playing in the trinity or for another public/private school.
Is it a Business?…. Or is it 2 Teams running it like a Business and everyone else preying that they are in D2?… 🤣
The only People who are Happy with So Cal HSFB are MD and SJB fans…. 🤣🤣
I second that BINGO. Cover is blown. Have to admit though I look forward to the posts from both of DLS pulls it out on the 23rd.
Lad's gained some girth pulling the levers of his tried and true, old but solid, and oh so powerful, Green Machine...
I think, as he and Terry read this thread from their BarcaLoungers, they mustered up every Hail Mother of Grace ever muttered during a halftime, to pray the Man could chill these parched, Sun-drenched Angelenos.
OMG!
