Chants of “We’re number one!” followed by “Why aren’t we number one?”  will be heard in a few days when UT-San Diego’s first football Top 10 will signal that games are just days away.

With a little help from UT-San Diego’s John Maffei, who emailed  his annual request with some brief team rundowns a few weeks ago, here goes:

(2012 records in parenthesis)

2013	Team	2012
1	Mission Hills (7-4-1)	5
2	Oceanside (12-1)	1
3	Cathedral (0-11)*	9
4	St. Augustine (10-3)	8
5	Helix (10-2)	6
6	Poway (10-3)	2
7	Madison (14-1)	4
8	San Pasqual (7-5)	nr
9	Ramona (8-5)	nr
10	Del Norte (6-6)	nr
	*8-3 without forfeits.

WHY THE GRIZZLIES?

Coach Chris Hauser’s San Marcos-based team struggled early last year with a killer schedule but it brings back 10 starters, including veteran presence at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and placekicker.

The Grizzlies won the summer’s North County passing tournament, defeating Oceanside, and believe they have at least four Division-I prospects.

EARLY DELIGHTS

Some teams have lined up impressive, outside  opposition, led by Oceanside’s monster nonleague schedule: @St. Augustine (Mesa College), Gardena Serra, Temecula Chaparral, Poway, and @Mission Hills.

Cathedral will be host school to four other San Diego teams as part of the Under Armour “Brothers in Arms” classic involving more than 40 teams nationally, with games in California, Maryland, and Louisiana.

Play begins Aug. 29 and extends through the weekend.

Games at Cathedral:

Eastlake versus Chandler Hamilton of Arizona.

Mission Hills versus Phoenix Desert Vista.

Helix versus Honolulu Punahou.

Vista versus Whittier La Serna.

Cathedral versus Sandy of Jordan, Utah.

Gardena Serra versus Corona Centennial.

Helix  takes on the legendary Buff ‘n Blue of Honolulu Punahou, one of the country’s top teams and one with a legendary history.  Punahou already owns a 24-14 victory over Honolulu Mililani.

The two Arizona schools are among the best in that football-fertile state.  Cathedral will play a team that was No. 1 in Utah with a 12-1 record in 2012 and Vista, hoping to rebound from a 2-8 record that was the Panthers’ worst since 1988, meets the defending Del Rio League champion from the Southern Section.

QUICK KICKS–Del Norte may be ready to make a run in  its fourth season, having  improved from 2-8 in 2010, to 4-7 and 6-6…the Nighthawks return 16 starters, including their quarterback and a 1,200-yard rusher…Del Norte is in its third season under coach Leigh Cole…Helix should be very good but pundits in the foothills say the Highlanders are a year away from doing  big things…Cathedral returns nine starters and newcomers from a 10-0 junior varsity squad…Madison’s defending state Division III champions will be one of the most watched clubs…the Warhawks lost a lot but 11 starters are back and so is quarterback Kareem Coles…Brawley will get contributions from a 10-0 JV team and 11 starting veterans…

 

 

Game officials came under fire.

A brawl between Helix and Mount Miguel resulted in a referee’s suspension and  “double forfeit”.

Playoff divisions increased.

At least two programs were rocked by ineligibility.

WEAK SHALL INHERIT

The San Diego Section playoffs became five divisions, marking the first expansion of the postseason since a fourth division was added in 1979.

Lousy teams with no chance of winning prevailed again.

In 1959, the last year San Diego was in the CIF Southern Section, there were playoff  brackets of 16 teams each in the upper and lower divisions and eight teams in the Small Schools.

Five of the of the 29 schools in San Diego County, including San Diego, Chula Vista, Mar Vista, Kearny, and Ramona, comprised 14.5 per cent of the Southern Section’s 40 postseason spots. There were about 300 schools from Atascadero south.

You had to earn your way into the playoffs.

San Diego and Ramona won championships, which meant a lot, but so did just making the playoffs.

COME ONE, COME ALL

Fifty-seven of 88 San Diego Section teams, almost 65 per cent of schools playing football and not including those in eight-man leagues, were included in the new, five-division alignment.

Eastern bloc countries would approve of this form of socialism.

MEYER’S MANDATE

“Teams could finish 8-1 or 9-1 and if they didn’t win the league, there was no second chance,” remembered El Camino coach Herb Meyer to Steve Brand of The San Diego Union . “That was bad, but so is having teams in with sub-.500 records which lose their first games, fifty to nothing.’

Meyer pointed out that 21 of his 23 El Camino playoff teams won their first playoff games because he wouldn’t consider participating if he didn’t think his teams could at least win one game.

In 1998, when Meyer needed one victory for career number 300 the El Camino coach stunned the playoff committee by announcing he would not submit his 3-7 team for consideration.

Thirteen teams with 3 or fewer victories sought berths at this year’s playoff selection meeting.  Six were allowed in.

Playoffs this year  included first-round scores of 64-0, 50-14, and 56-26 in Division II, 42-14, in D-I, 47-14 in D-III, and 58-6 in D-IV.

Coronado, a D-IV squad with a 7-3 record, was whacked in the first round in another game that ended with a 58-6 score.  There  was a 48-0, D-V semifinal round blowout.

Westview, 3-7 in the regular season, made it to the second round and lost in D-III to Brawley 56-14 after trailing, 35-0, at halftime.

WEBB SPINS

Two of the four expansions of playoffs came when Kendall (Spider) Webb was San Diego Section commissioner.

“Those who wanted one true champion didn’t like it, but the majority felt it was an opportunity for more schools to compete,” said Webb, who began running long-distance races after retirement.

Webb said one of the unexpected results of expansion was revenue, but added, “I can honestly say that I don’t remember potential expansion based on revenue.”

Section commissioner Dennis Ackerman pointed out that “as football goes, the budget goes.  Because of football we were able to gross $500,000 last year.”

DREADED ADMINISTRATIVE GLITCH

Mission Hills, a rising team in only its second season, forfeited four victories for using at least two players who were residentially ineligible.

The San Diego Section passed a rule at the end of the last school year that teams with three forfeits would automatically be disqualified from playoff consideration.

The Mission Hills principal lobbied:  “These were extreme, extenuating circumstances and we feel our athletes should not be punished,” he said.

No dice.

The Grizzlies finished with an adjusted,  4-6 record and did not get a playoff invite.

DREADED ADMINISTRATIVE GLITCH, CONT.

Ackerman and Metropolitan Conference commissioner Carlton Hoggard were in agreement that Castle Park had used an ineligible player and would forfeit its Mesa League championship and berth in the playoffs.

If the forfeits held up, Castle Park would go from an 8-2 record to 2-8.  The player originally had been at Castle Park, transferred to  Sweetwater, then returned to Castle Park.

Sweetwater officials took blame  for the paperwork goof and Castle Park thought it was clean, but the CIF found Castle Park at fault for “not uncovering the eligibility concerns” and for allowing the player to participate in six games.

The player’s mother hired a lawyer, who went to court.  The issue dragged on the week of the playoffs’ first round before a Superior Court judge ruled in favor of the player.

The Trojans sent Montgomery packing 48-14 in the D-III first round, then were upset by El Cajon Valley 56-32 in the quarterfinals.

HELIX TO CIF:  THANKS BUT NO THANKS

A bracket of 14 teams was created for the II playoffs, but only 13 representatives of eligible squads showed for the playoff seeding meeting at the San Diego Section office.

Helix informed commissioner  Dennis Ackerman that it was not interested in being in the postseason after having been a participant every year but one since 1977.

The Highlanders  took the playoffs seriously.  They felt unqualified after posting a 2-7-1 record.

Mar Vista (3-7) and  El Centro Southwest (3-7) also did not attend the seeding meeting.

FROM THE ASHES

With Helix on hiatus, El Cajon Valley and Valhalla,  two unlikely neighbors from the foothills, each rose like some helmeted phoenix.

El  Cajon Valley, with 5 playoff appearances in 51 seasons, beat top-ranked Mira Mesa, 26-21, in the semifinals and a earned a meeting with Oceanside in the D-II championship.

Abraham Muheize, who quarterbacked the Braves from a spread formation and took the snap eight yards behind the center, set a Section passing record with 4,050 yards, a state record for  total offense, 5,203 yards (including 1,253 rushing), and  a section record with 591 total yards in one game.

The Braves’ 11-2 record entering the finals was best in school history, surpassing the 10-2 of the 1997 team, on which Muheize’s brother Muhammad, now a Braves assistant coach, was a member.

It was a great run, but the Braves fell short, 31-21 to Oceanside.  The Pirates’ Mario Gonzales rushed for 188 yards in 28 carries and coach John Carroll’s defense kept Muheize on the run all evening, limiting Abe to 215 yards passing and minus 6 yards rushing in 8 attempts.

Valhalla, three winning seasons in 31, averaged 41 points a game, many furnished by running back Garen Demery, and fashioned a 9-1-2 record.

The Norsemen reached the playoff quarterfinals before losing a  thriller to St. Augustine, when the Saints’  Chris Forcier passed for a touchdown on the final play of the game, then passed for a two-point conversion to win, 49-48.

The Saints then won a D-III semifinal battle, 23-6 over arch rival Cathedral, shutting down, for the most part, the Dons’ Demetrius Sumler, who rushed for 81 yards in 17 carries but finished with the all-time San Diego Section career rushing record of 5,630 yards.

The Saints defeated Point Loma, 46-14, in the finals,  ending the Pointers’ winning streak at 12 in a row.

LOCK THE DOOR, PLEASE

Carlsbad was in the process of a 17-3 victory over Cathedral when a thief  or thieves entered the Lancers’ coaching office and stole a $600 camera.

“I guess they knew we were all on the sideline,” Lancers coach Bob McAllister told Terry Monahan of the North County Times.

The camera included tape from a junior varsity game earlier in the day.

“Maybe one of the doors didn’t lock when someone walked out,” said McAllister.  “Someone must have really wanted that JV tape.”

McAllister jested that “somebody took their life in their own  hands, because no one touches anything on Rudolph’s desk, not even me.”

The camera disappeared from the working area of assistant coach Dave Rudolph.

AVOCADO-PALOMAR LEAGUE THUNDER

Knock-down North County football at its best was order of the week when Rancho Bernardo overcame Carlsbad, 24-21, in a battle of Top 10 teams.

Ryan Schmitz of the winning Broncos was involved in a play he’ll never forget. Schmitz struck a 42-yard field goal with six seconds left to deliver the victory for coach Ron Hamamoto’s Broncos.

Rancho Bernardo, remaining undefeated (5-0) and ranked No 1, trailed the Lancers (3-2), 21-0 in the second quarter.

FAST FORWARD

Rancho Bernardo finished the season with an 8-3 record, eliminated by Vista, 20-0, in the first round of the playoffs. Bob McAllister’s Lancers won their next eight, closing at 11-2 with a 12-6 victory over another North County heavyweight, Torrey Pines, in the D-1 final.

TURNABOUT

The tables moved in another direction for Rancho Bernardo.

Trailing, 13-7, with 30 seconds remaining, Torrey Pines receiver Michael Lambesis lost the ball on the one-yard line when he tried to stretch into the end zone.

Connor Bird of the Falcons recovered Lambesis’ fumble in the endzone for a Torrey Pines touchdown  and Bill Bennett toed the extra point for a 14-13 victory, sending ‘Bernardo to its first loss after 5 victories.

“I knew I had to get his back,” Bird said of teammate Lambesis.  “I  knew I had to get in there and back him up.”

As Falcons coach Ed Burke said to writer Kevin Gemmell:  “This was a gutsy win against a great Rancho Bernardo team. They hammered us all night, but in the clutch, clutch players make clutch plays.”

MADISON COACH MIFFED

Mission Bay’s Kenny Mayfield appeared to many observers as having been stopped on the Madison goal line.  Officials ruled a touchdown.

Madison coach Rick Jackson got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for charging the field.  “Tell me I shouldn’t feel that way?” Jackson screamed at an official.  “I just want a fair game called.  You guys, that was just wrong.”

Jackson was quiet when the officials possibly erred in Madison’s favor in the fourth quarter, when the underdog Buccaneers were hanging in, trailing the Warhawks only 10-7.

ANOTHER BEEF WITH OFFICIALS

Madison’s Brandon Grimsley took a handoff at his 34-yard line on third and eight with about seven minutes remaining in the game.

Grimsley ran laterally to  the Mission Bay sideline, where he was met by a host of defenders.

Despite appearing to be tackled, Grimsley did not hear a whistle and didn’t stop, racing  untouched for a 66-yard touchdown that pretty much iced the game.

“…one of the strangest plays I’ve ever seen,” Mission Bay coach Willie Matson said to Jon Gold of The San  Diego Union.  “Running back comes up the sidelines, gets hit and the linebacker wraps his arms around him, but there’s no whistle.”

Matson told the reporter that a Buccaneers defender “hesitated, held up and let him go and there still was no whistle.  (Grimsley) took off running, like he should have.”

“Ever since Pop Warner,” said Grimsley, “I’ve been told to keep my feet moving, keep my feet moving.”

POWAY COACH PEEVED

A pass interference penalty against Poway was pivotal in La Costa Canyon’s 27-25 victory, decided on Briton Forester’s 33-yard field goal with eight seconds left.

The infraction placed the ball on Poway’s 16-yard line.

“If there was something outrageous, I didn’t see it,” said Titans coach Damian Gonzalez. “I saw two kids going for the ball.  It’s heartbreaking when it comes down to an official and they take the game out of the hands of the kids.”

La Costa Canyon’s Cole Ducey quarterbacked the winning, 10-play, 80-yard drive with 5 pass completions in six attempts.

HAVE WE MET?

Calexico defeated San Diego 27-12 in the opening game.

The victory “avenged” a Bulldogs defeat…to San Diego’s 1916 team that went 12-0.

Coach Clarence (Nibs) Price’s Hilltoppers defeated the Imperial Valley entry 55-0 in the Southern California playoffs, 89 years before.  The teams had not played since.

ANOTHER RARE INTERSECTIONAL

Point Loma coach Mike Hastings was in need of a game after an opponent pulled out.

Hastings hooked up with Los Angeles Jefferson, which opened in 1916 and  for decades boasted one of the country’s premier basketball and track and field programs.

Not football.

The Democrats made their first visit to San Diego and were sent home with a 48-7 defeat by Hastings’ Pointers, who advanced to the D-III finals before losing, 17-7, to St. Augustine and finishing with a 12-1 record.

FAREWELL, UNI!

The University of San Diego High, whose campus across Linda Vista Road from the University of San Diego almost seemed an afterthought for 48 years, was moving to a campus that colleges would envy.

The Dons became Cathedral Catholic High this year on 45 acres (compared to 7 at Uni) in Carmel Valley near Del Mar, with a gorgeous football stadium the focal point.

“It will be nice not having to take a bus ride,” said 11th-season coach Sean Doyle, referring to years of traveling to “home” and away games.  The Dons played mostly JV games at their old campus.

“If we want to run laps, we have a track,” said Doyle.  “If we want to run stairs, we have a stadium (capacity, 4,000).  We’ll leave the locker room and walk seventy yards to the field.  The home crowd will really be at home.”

The move didn’t reflect in the won-loss record.  The Dons were 10-2 and reached the Division III semifinals in 2004.  They were 8-4 this year, again advancing to the semifinal round.

STEPPING UP

La Jolla Country Day elevated from 8-man to 11-man, aligning in the Pacific League, which numbered the San Diego Section’s five smallest 11-man schools.

The Torreys went from 11-1 in the 8-man Citrus League to 10-2 in the 11-man Pacific, reaching the IV finals before losing to Christian, 35-0.

As an example of their aspirations, the Torreys unveiled an all-weather synthetic turf field. They had installed lights in time for the 2004 seaason.

BIGGER…BUT BETTER?

At least 18 players weighed in at 300 pounds or more this season, distinguished by Morse’s 335-pound Darius Savage, an athletic senior who also won the state discus championship the previous spring and who has the County record at 212 feet, 1 inch, and is second with a 66-3 1/2 shot put,

Torrey Pines coach Ed Burke made a cogent observation:  “There are 300-pound football players and 300-pound students.

“There is no advantage if the 300-pounder doesn’t have quick feet,” added Burke, citing the most important separator between player and student.

Dustin Sill of Santana taxed the Toledo scale at 420 pounds.  Two others were over 340.

DUSTUP RESULTS IN DOUBLE FORFEIT

Helix was leading Mount Miguel 30-6 when a fight broke out and the game was called with 2:15 remaining.

Players from each bench entered the fray.  The game referee attempted to restrain a Helix player, who broke free from the grasp of the official, who threw a football that hit another player and a coach.

The referee was suspended for the remainder of the season and expressed regret, saying his action “…was significantly inappropriate.”

The Grossmont League then created outrage at Helix by ruling a double forfeit, probably the first in the history of San Diego County football.

“It’s an atrocity!” shouted Highlanders coach Donnie Van Hook, who said tension began building before the kickoff when a Mount Miguel player jumped on the Helix logo at the 50-yard line.

A total of 18 players from both teams and a Mount Miguel assistant coach were suspended for at least one game.

Three Helix players stayed home when the Highlanders went to Eastlake, where they lost, 24-14.  A 17-year-old La Mesa youth was shot during the week and police and school officials decided the players should not attend the game because of possible gang action.

Van Hook stressed that the three players did not have gang affiliations.

Ramona High, in business since 1894 but sans football until 1938, was emerging.

Nestled at 2,200 feet between Mount Woodson and Iron Mountain in San Diego’s East County, the Bulldogs had quietly plugged along in relative mediocrity for 15 years, save for the 6-1 season of Charlie Snell’s 1940 squad.

Ramona suddenly posted a 7-0 record under new coach Glenn Forsythe this season, steamrollering through a variety of competition that included teams from the  Southern Prep League and earning a name among Southland small schools.

The Bulldogs were unscored upon until the final game, when they posted a 26-13 victory over a first-year Mission Bay varsity that had played a mostly junior varsity schedule.

Forsythe was a quiet Midwesterner who didn’t raise his voice.

“He was one of the finest men and finest coaches I have known,” said David Farmer, a 1956 graduate who went on to a long and distinguished career in journalism.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

Forsythe was “so modest and soft spoken that you had to strain to hear him, whether on the field, in the classroom, or in a school assembly,” Farmer remembered.

The Bulldogs heard their coach.

Among  victories were routs of 51-0, 47-0, and 45-0 over league rivals Brown Military, Army-Navy, and Mountain Empire, respectively.

Statistics were missing from two early-season wins, 13-0 over San Juan Capistrano and 6-0 over Imperial, so the exploits of Ronnie Blakeley and Ernie Trumper are only partially known.

1-2 TOUCHDOWN PUNCH

Blakeley was at least the second highest scorer in the County with 12 touchdowns and 72 points in five games, including 6 touchdowns against Brown Military.

Trumper followed Blakeley with  10 touchdowns and 60 points in five games. Hoover’s John Adams led area runners with 108 points in 10 games.

The Bulldogs qualified for the Southern California small-schools playoffs but did not participate.

The Bulldogs were entering an era that still resonates in the Ramona Valley. They would make even more explosive statements beginning in 1955.

Chet DeVore was thinking of  an earlier, distant journey and a notion called  the “Spin T”.

“We expect a tough game from an aggressive, well-coached team,” DeVore said of coach Gus Headington’s 10-1 El Centro Central squad and its uniquely designated offensive formation, “but we took one, long ride home with a beaten team this year and we don‘t plan to do it again.”

The Chula Vista Spartans had dropped their opening game, 13-6, at Torrance.

Now the blue-and-white-clad Spartans  would meet the blue and white Spartans of “The High,”  the locals’ designation for Imperial Valley’s oldest school.

At stake:  championship of the CIF Southern Section Southern division (small schools). Chula Vista was trying to repeat after a 12-6 victory over Brawley in the 1953 finals.

DeVore was prescient.

Although they trailed 6-0 at the end of the first quarter, the visitors rolled to a 34-12, fourth-quarter advantage and cruised to a 34-19 victory.

Spin T or no Spin T.

Defensive end Larry Armbrust kept constant pressure on Central quarterback Larry Shaw, interrupting Shaw’s timing in the formation, which called for the quarterback to take the ball under center, then wheel and effect a spinning move before giving the ball to a predetermined ball carrier.

Shaw faced further grief from Chula Vista defenders Larry Erwin, Wayne Cassity, Carroll Clowers, and Bob Erwin.

The victory was Chula Vista’s 11^th in a row since the opener.

Defeats were becoming few and far between at Chula Vista.

The Spartans’ record since the last two games of DeVore’s first season in 1951 was 33-2. They had not lost since the 1952 playoffs.

I DARE YOU

Teams throughout the country had been leaving the single and double wings and installing various T formations in the last few years.  Chula Vista ran the ground-chewing Split T favored by college powerhouse Oklahoma and others.

Grossmont  coach  Phil Morell was so sure Chula Vista would not pass that the Foothillers’ mentor sent his team out with a nine-man defensive line before a crowd of 4,650 at Helix that included a large group of Spartans’ supporters.

Chula Vista’s running game did not suffer.

Jim McLean ran 61 yards for a touchdown on the Spartans’ third play and 91 yards for a score on Chula Vista’s next possession.

McLean’s 180 yards in 7 carries averaged 25.7 per attempt. Jim Damron added 35- and 59-yard touchdowns runs and Don Schmautz raced 58 yards for a score.

Chula Vista ran off with its third straight Metropolitan League championship, 31-14.

SPARTANS OWN THIS AWARD

Larry Armbrust and Larry Erwin were named linemen of the week and fullback Don Schmautz and halfback David Erwin were backs of the week  after the Spartans dismissed Sweetwater 41-7 in the final-regular season game.

No surprise there.

Spartans Vernon Sanna, Carroll Clowers, and Bob Lusky had been previous linemen of the week and Dave Erwin, player-of-the-year Bob Franklin, and Jim McLean had won back-of-the-week awards chosen by The San Diego Union.

“We like to think we have eleven good players, not just one or two great ones,” said DeVore.

CAN’T SHAKE THEM

Oceanside couldn’t beat Chula Vista when the Pirates had the great C.R. Roberts and were in the Metropolitan League with their rivals 50 miles down U.S. 101.

Roberts was gone this year, but so was Oceanside.  What goes around doesn’t always come around.

The Pirates moved into the new Avocado League this season  but were forced to play Chula Vista in a first-round playoff.

Chula Vista eliminated John Simcox’s team, 32-7.

JACK AND THE ARGONAUTS

A semifinal game with Garden Grove proved a pesky challenge, for awhile.

The usual overflow crowd of 5,000 at the Spartans’ stadium sat through 125 yards in penalties, six fumbles and five pass interceptions by both teams.

The Argonauts’ Jack Hart, who played left halfback in a Split T formation, moved to tailback when the visitors went to a spread formation.

Hart was a nettlesome presence when he ran and passed the Orange County squad to a 6-0 lead in the second quarter.  The

Spartans solved Hart’s code thereafter, intercepting four of his passes.

Chula Vista was leading 19-6 in the third quarter when the visitors’ Jim Dunivin executed a hidden ball play. Dunivin appeared to fake a handoff to Don Hosmun then roll and seemingly look for a pass receiver.

Hosmun kept the ball and ran 50 yards for a score as Spartans defenders pursued Dunivin.  The touchdown etched a final score of 19-13 favoring Chula Vista.

COMPETITION UPGRADE

With two straight championships the Spartans would look for a bigger challenge in 1955.  They would be moving into the playoffs major division.
