The Furious Five: Best New Nicknames

The Furious Five: Best New Nicknames

List compiled by Carlos Arias and Damian Calhoun of OCVarsity.com:

1. Aaron “The Westminster Entertainment Unit” Garbutt, Westminster: The Westminster announcer introduces the Westminster band as “The Westminster Entertainment Unit,” but that moniker is best suited for Garbutt. He is one of the most entertaining players to watch in the county, whether he is making big plays on offense or delivering hits on defense.

2. Isaac “The Human Bowling Ball” Tago, Tesoro: This 5-foot-11, 225-pound fullback is a ferocious blocker that knows how to clear the lanes for his running back Zach Mitchell.

3. Robert “The Answer” Cruz, Magnolia: The question is how did Magnolia get into the playoffs? “The Answer” is Robert Cruz.

4. Ronnie “The Anomaly” Hillman, La Habra: The definition of anomaly: 1. the angular distance of a planet from its perihelion as seen from the sun; 2. deviation from the common rule; and 3. something anomalous, something different, abnormal, peculiar or not easily classified. Hillman is “The Anomaly.”

5. Richard “The Dream Smasher” Sandoval, Mission Viejo: You might dream about sacking Mission Viejo QB Allan Bridgford or you might dream about tackling one of the Diablos’ running backs. Then you wake up flat on your back with the 6-2, 300-pound “Dream Smasher” standing over you. Sandoval doesn’t just block opposing defensive linemen, he explodes into them and smashes them into the turf.

Honorable mention: Michael “A-Train” Allain, Fullerton

  • B's House says:

    Kyle “The Blur” Middlebrooks – Fountain Valley

  • THS Fan says:

    Anthony “ManChild” Wilkerson – Tustin High

  • CARLOS ARIAS says:

    B’s House: Excellent. Middlebrooks is very deserving of that nickname.

  • Champions Train says:

    Who’s the leading rusher in County and State? ” The Answer’ Robert Cruz #32!

  • Brian Perdue says:

    Hey readers – how about some nicknames for bloggers Carlos and Damian? Any suggestions?

  • I like “The Blur” for Middlebrooks as well. Perfect fit.

    Tesoro’s QB Robbie “The Artist” Picazo is one I hear a lot.

    I like SC’s receiver Graham “Catch-a-plenty” Tenney.

    I like Pacifica’s RB Josh “The Elusive One” Brannon.

    I like Tesoro’s WR/DB Preston “the chosen” King.

    As for Carlos “the Maniacal Maniac” Arias, I don’t know. But dude really does scare me. Ever see the posts he comes up with? Michael Myers playing football? Best fight scenes in movies? Doomsday scenarios? A-Bomb photos on his posts?

    And for DC, I like Damian “Perfect Blend” Calhoun. For those that know DC, he’s just right, thus the perfect blend.

  • Nice Names says:

    I like Carlos “Big Dawg” Arias… in reference to his doggie stuff on the staff picks, not quite sure what prompted that in the first place. Something about underdogs.

    Chis hit the nail on the head on Damian’s nickname, always seems to have a nice mix in his writting… Although he can’t seem to make up his mind on Mater Dei, one week his on the bandwagon and the next he wakes up thinking what the F*/?*** happened?

  • truth says:

    ruben Ortega

    “meathook”
    with those hands nothing
    can get away

  • LHCLANDAD says:

    Ronnie “The Anomaly” Hillman is good but the duo (Hillman – Quesada) are known
    in LaHabra as “Thunder and Lightening” :o )

  • CARLOS ARIAS says:

    Tobolski: I will take that as a compliment. And don’t forget my latest Top-25 Chuck Norris-isms post:

  • CARLOS ARIAS says:

    truth: I like Ruben “Meathook” Ortega. That’s awesome.

  • Baron In The House says:

    I was trying to think of a nickname for Kyle too. I think “The Blur” is a good one.

  • Isaac Tago says:

    Its Isaac Tago-Samoan Superman. Where did this Bowling ball come from? haha

  • Ruben “Meathook” Ortega is great.

    Hey ‘Los, if I visit that site, a foot isn’t going to come out of my screen and kick my face, is it?

    It wasn’t funny last time you did that.

  • CARLOS ARIAS says:

    Isaac: I like Samoan Superman. Good luck in the playoffs.

  • CARLOS ARIAS says:

    Tobolski: Yeah, Meathook is the best new nickname so far. I forgot to warn that you might get roundhouse kicked or sucker punched in the chops whenever you click on my boxing/MMA blog. It took a long time for the crack staff at the OC Register to insert the roundhouse/suck punch function for our website.

  • Isaac Tago says:

    Carlos: its original. and thank you
