Comments on: Poll: Who will win the Pac-5 Division? http://ocvarsity.freedomblogging.com/2008/12/08/poll-who-will-win-the-pac-5-division/19462/ High school sports talk by the staff of the Orange County Register Fri, 14 Oct 2011 19:48:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: jackrabbit http://ocvarsity.freedomblogging.com/2008/12/08/poll-who-will-win-the-pac-5-division/19462/#comment-16800 jackrabbit Sat, 13 Dec 2008 06:50:38 +0000 http://ocvarsity.freedomblogging.com/?p=19462#comment-16800 I watched the Tesoro/OLU game a couple of times and was impressed with the Titans initially, but after seeing the game a second time and pausing sections at a time it became apparent to me that Tesoro was largely successful against OLU in ways it will never be against Poly. Tesoro's defensive ends were blowing past OLU's lineman and OLU seemed to be going in slow mo on defense. King and Gudim are xlnt players that play on both sides of the ball they both have good football instincts but they both seem to have just avg. speed. Tesoro's team speed especially in kickoff coverages is hard to watch. I expect Poly to take several balls back deep. Poly will not be able to sustain drives against Tesoro. I see Poly scoring on long plays from scrimmage. Barner/Richardson/Westbrook can all take it to the house on one play if they break the initlal line of scrimmage and Tesoro's secondary will not be able to stop them. In a game of matchups, OlU did not match up well with Tesoro. How will Picazzo react under duress for the first time? How will he and his receivers adjust to Poly's closing speed? Do you think the Titan runners will be able to take a corner on Poly? Congrats to both teams for getting to the Finals!

Tesoro beat the top 2. Poly's going down and going down big. Tesoro's peaked just at the right time. They have all the momentum. Just watch how fast they'll be. Poly's got nothing on them. Tesoro's just simply better at all aspects. I saw them against Lakewood last week and felt they got lucky to beat them. Lakewood was their own worst enemy with their turnovers. I'll take my hat off to Poly if they win, but I seriously doubt they can. Congratulations to both teams for making it this far. 2 great programs.

I do know a lot about Tesoro as my sons go there. Based on what I am reading about Poly (especially lancer fan's comments) and what I know about Tesoro, I have to think that Tesoro will win by 10 or more. Tesoro killed OL (very surprised by the 42-14 score), beat a strong Los Al team, and defeated Mater Dei, a perenial high ranked team.

Who wants to line up on a baseball infield? Also, the fans are so far from the action and it is so huge that it lacks intimacy. The Home Depot center is an xlnt venue for football for the fans as well as for the players. To Treasure...buy the general adm. ticket. The reserved section will be plenty dead and lonely plus you will be on the third level. If Tesoro scores more than 13 points they will win the game. If this game is half as good as the Poly vs. St. Bonaventure game earlier this yr, the fans will have had their moneys worth. Speaking of St. B, they will be playing in a CIF final this week as well and probably for a State title. What's their record? 11-1 and ranked 6th in the State. Who did they lose to? Poly! Guess who beat last yrs Nat'l Champs, Miami Northwestern in Miami? Poly!
