Impressive...but let me know when you guys break our national record of 151-0.....De La Salle, CA rules H.S. football

...Yeah, I remember that----was it Cal Poly that beat them?? Seems that was a few years ago, I just saw they lost the other day (de la salle) to Canyon.

 

[Russ Spence]

I remember that too , is that same guy still coaching , he was like 200 years old ..... hahahaha

 

[Newlook]

De La Salle is in the Bay Area (Concord I think). 2-3 years ago they were in their prime but yes over the last couple years they started unraveling.

 

[Scott Stone]

Well, Hamilton #12 lost last night to the #4 team in teh state. Many people are shocked that they lot in a rain soaked game. It kind of tells you how tough football can be in Arizona. For what it is worth, neither school is a neighborhood school but has "open Enrollment" from across the Phoenix area. As such there is always suspicion that they recruit the best players.

 

[Russ Spence]

I know it does happen
