| Coach Kunau is a class act. OLU is very fortunate to have such a coach leading their men. He was so gracious in the postgame interview. I'll be rooting for OLU in the future against any team except for Poly. Poly band rules! |

| I just thought I clear things up a little bit. Yes both private and public schools recruit. Specially the big schools. Not only that some of these big schools have an advantage of choosing from a bigger population than smaller schools. I just find it ironic that some people talk trash about the lower and smaller division schools even though most of those schools play local talent and a have a smaller population to choose from. Im not taking anything away from this divison. This division is the best in the state when it comes to football. Can you imagine if every school played with local talent and had an equal population amount in every school? Do you still think these schools can still dominate under these circumstances? I dont think so. |

| The best thing that happened for Sevite was that Mater Dei lost. We all know if Mater Dei was Playing Servite Mater Dei would make it 21-0. Ha Ha A program of attraction is not recuriting GO BIG RED |

| Regarding the comment posted by Ironside on Nov 26th. Long Beach does provide the opportunity for students to attend different high schools within the district via the various academic magnet programs that are available. However, there are no athletic based magnet programs in Long Beach only academic. These programs, especially PACE and CIC, at Poly are heavily applied to with very limited entry opportunities due to the GPA and academic testing scores that must be achieved to get in. Since Poly is an impacted school, the general population can only get in via a lottery. So, to repeat, there are no athletic magnet programs at Poly and Poly does not recruit outside the district or even within the district. With a population of 4700 there's enough talent in the neighborhood to compete. That said, do kids move into the district and get into the school and on the teams, I'm sure. Great players will always be attracted to great programs and parents eager or desperate to get their kid noticed for the purpose of a scholarship have been known to sell their home and move into the neighborhood in order to try to get into the school. But, that's different than Poly recruiting. If you want to talk recruiting, you need to take your conversation over to the Catholic system. |

| The Long Beach Unified School District is an open district. That means LB Poly can ercruit from anywhere within the LB Unified boundary and they do. The population of LB is over 500 thousand. LB Poly usually draws the cream of the crop from all over the city. |

| Crespi and Servite matchup is going to be a great one. I am surprised that this game will not be televised and the Orange Lutheran one will. I say Servite beats Crespi in a narrow victory and face Orange Lutheran in the finals. Keep this in mind Servite has never lost to Orange Lutheran. The only way to get to the finals is to beat Crespi. So lets go Friars! |

| Cred,the bottom line is a kid can go to Servite no matter where he lives. True it may be from a catholic feeder school but that school can be from anywhere. The parents do not have to move anywhere near Servite. I am sure there are cases where elite athletes move into a public school district mostly on tv a la fri nite lights. There are transfer rules that must be adhered to that mandate sitting out a season. That kind of activity does not go unnoticed by the CIF or by competing schools. I dont know about Servite, but all of my friends that were great athletes in Catholic middle school were offered tuition if they were to play certain sports in high school. Funny thing is depending on your ability, you might not be recruited for Mater Deis football team but you sure could get a deal if you enrolled in lets say Bosco. The same is true with all of the other sports. The parochial coaches scout the so called feeder schools and pretty much know who the players are. |

| The publics always whine about private schools recruiting, but that is such nonsense. Most players at the Catholic schools come from Catholic feeder schools, not public junior highs. Therefore, their parents made the decision years ago that their kids were going to Servite, Mater Dei, etc.
Parents are the one who do the choosing whether public or private. If their son is a good football player, they will do what it takes to send their kid to a school, public or private, with a quality program, even if it means moving to a district that has a top public school team. Parents choose their residences based on the quality of public schools all the time. Is it recruitment when realtors boast that a home is in a certain public high schools zone?
In all my years of association with Servite, I do not know of one player that was recruited in a way that paid for that pricey tuition. |

| We have 3 parochial schools OL Servite Crespi and 1 public school LB Poly left. The Ying versus the Yang. Average tuition for the Yings, 10K per annum with a male enrollment of approx. 600 students. The Yang, represented by Poly has over 4K students with probably a 50 percent male student body. No tuition. The equalizer? Boundless and unmitigted recruiting. Or is it just the money? Ever see Mater Dei's Gym? unbelievable! |

| Hey Rick, show a little class. Servite was more than lucky to get past Esperanza. Be thankful we have an offensive line coach calling our plays. Hats of to Servite for the win but you better bring more than that to Crespi or you lose big. |

| Thed, Long beach middle schools play 7 man flag football. Poly derives its talent from its LOCAL Pop Warner program. Define local? Within 5 miles of the school! OlU would be playing Maranatha and High desert if they only played with students within 5 miles of its school. But they dont and that is why they are an outstanding football team with great head coaching. Poly Band Rules! |

| Well Well Well, it looks as though the Friars live to execute another hut drill. All that talent and no discipline is a shame. I thought Olu would have humbled the monarchs a bit. Seems as though another win over the friars took care of that.
Doesnt matter, at this point it's lookin scary good for the Friars |

| I love it when people say Private Schools recruit the fact of the matter is Public Schools recruit if you want to call it more than any private school. The Public Hight Schools have Multiple feeder Jr. High. The Jr. High Football teams play the exact same play book as the High School, so by the time a Freshman comes into the High School program they have played 2 or 3 years learning the play book. That is a bigger recruiting than any private school could do.
As for who is going to win. O Lu looks good again! |

| I admit this division is pretty tough but would some of these schools still be good if they didnt recruit. For instance would Mater Dei be good if they didnt recruit and play with local talent becuase if they did they would just be talented as any other santa ana school. Mater Dei is overated good. |

| Speaking of tax dollars, I find it refreshing that public schools like Poly and Edison and others can still compete with the parochial advantage. In some states they have championships for private schools separate from public schools due to the inherent advantages that produce wildly lopsided scores. A closer look at any private schools rooster and where that player actually resides speaks to this advantage. You have to ask yourself how does a school with 300 male students find itself with a big five championship caliber team? That said, the football is highly entertaining and it would be sad if there were not at least a few public schools who could still compete at this level. |

| the last time I saw LB Poly was when DJ Shoemate out ran all them for a 60 yard TD. The entire LB sideline went silent. I will take speed with class over flat out speed
Esperanza doesnt or cant throw. And Servite can control the game on the ground. I still think it will take 25 points to win.
WE ARE clap clap SERVITE! |

| Its all about that Long Beach speed. Poly Jackrabbits all the way. Its amazing how Sunset League teams and all them private schools charge large sums of money for their athletes to play football and out raise us in money, yet here at Poly its virtually free, and still kick all your butts. |

The game of the week this week will be Edison vs. O Lu. Rematch of the State Semi-finals from last year. The only team that has been able to score on Edison this year has been Mater Dei. I am anxious to see how the Lancers will do. |

| Bottom line is that that pairings are Irrelevant except to enable 2nd tier teams to get some more games in. The powerhouse teams of trinity should just start painting the end-zone at home depot center now. It will come down to a rematch between OL and MD. Servite will be lucky to get past Esperanza. They have no hope in a rematch against MD. |
