We now know who the winner of the Tesoro/OLu will meet in the PAC-5 Final, it is Long Beach Poly. Winners over Lakewood 20-10. You have to give Poly a lot of credit , they have the worst QB I have ever seen. Yet the Jackrabbits are on the cusp of winning another CIF major division championship.
I think OLU will win, though I would like to see TESORO and Preston King meet the boys from Long Beach.

the kids that do it at the tesoro games are freshman at tesoro with no understanding of respect. Anytime they do it, they get instantly stoped by the parents and older kids at tesoro, but i have been to most of MD's games and they chant "thanks for practice" to other respectfull teams, so there is no argument there. But bottom line, the stands have nothing to do with the respect level of the teams on the field

Sanity says: Do you remember when it was Mission Veijo Diablos moment, then Servite, then Loyola, then Mater Dei, then Los Alamitos, then Orange Lutheran all good programs, but there has been one constant..........Long Beach Poly 17 major division football championships and year in and year out they fighting for another title. They have fallen flat many years but when September comes around and you talk Calif. High School football there is one program on the tip of everyones tounge. Long Beach Poly. Just ask any coach... they will tell you the same thing.
I wish the Orange County line was six miles north so Poly be be included in the richness of OC football. Heck Los Alamitos High school is less than one mile from a friends house in Long Beach.
So open your arms and maybe give Poly your support?

Lutheran's gotten enough love from the Register even when they were in lower divisions. Hell, they even gave Jason Whieldon OC Player of the year when they were in division 11, when Leinart was QBing for MD. So it's not like Lutheran hasn't gotten its share of reporting.

MD had more talent than Orange Lutheran this year, and was the better team. I stick by my statement, it was just a lapse in judgment by the offensive playcaller, doesn't mean they weren't the better team.

After the Olu win I bought 2 papers. The register and the LA times.

Steve Fryer seems to want to only talk about Servite. In the win against Notradame he said "Lemon saves Olu" or something like that. He dismissed giving Olu credit for a great almost mistake free game.

Reading the LA times I saw that even they gave acalades to the Olu team.

What is it about Sten Frye that he is so often one sided in his reporting.

Im not sure but Im starting to think that maybe there is more balanced reading( la times) out there and more interesting web sites then what I am getting from Steve Fryers oc Varsity......

What does every one think.....

go olu. I have never heard of cheering for the other team, or singing hey hey bye byek, as does tesoro at their games when they are winning, as a horrible thing.

I gues when all of their stands dies it it is okay, because it is their chidlren that do it? Does that make sense.

Not hatefule, just saying...

GO OLu!

IF...IF...IF...
Mater Dei DIDN'T run the ball Mr. Notorius. O-Lu got the field goal. Mater Dei Lost and O-Lu won. IF Mater Dei would have done what you speak of they might have won...but they didn't. Don't call them the better team when they clearly lost the game.

If MD runs the ball that entire last drive in the Lutheran game they would have kicked the FG and won. MD was the better team, but Rollo tried to put it too much on Barkley when clearly Hytche would have carried the team to the victory in that one.

MD debate? There is no debate; scoreboard, baby! The "better" team generally does not lose and *certainly* does not beat themselves. Poor coaching decisions? Right, like Rollo doesn't know what he's doing. He's only been at this 25 years or so. MD had a so-so team with an excellent quarterback, who, despite the hype, is still learning. In HS sports you win with seniors, it's a fact. MD finished exactly where they deserved, as did my team, as will OLu and Tesoro. Glad to see it come down to two quality programs, here's hoping the winner can give Poly a run. Now that is a team I am tired of seeing win! Bring back the days when MV handed the LB boyz their lunch and win one for the OC!

Both of MD's last 2 losses, they were the better team. Especially in the Lutheran game. A poor coaching decision led to MD's loss in that one, much like I think poor coaching decisions probably played a part in the Tesoro game, although I only watched the game once through on cox, and it was late.

If you look at Kunau's whole history of coaching at Lutheran he was a choke, but in the last 5 years or so he's been able to win the big games, prior to 2004 he was 0-5 in CIF title games.

Tesoro's offense isn't what scares me, it's whether or not Tesoro can force turnovers against a team that doesn't really throw that much.
