CC vs DLS

Hi Dave,

Been working everyday and I am blessed to have this Saturday off. With all respect to DLS they are the reining champions. I feel that Centennial is way more prepared for DLS than DLS is prepared for Centennial.
The game can go either way but, I feel Centennial was able to replicate the DLS offense better in practice. The Noseguard will not be 3 yards off the ball this year.

CIF San Diego Section Football Stories

Kyle Williams ready for 3rd season at Fallbrook High



By David A. Willauer-Contributing Writer-Fallbrook High School-Fallbrook, CA-Monday, August, 24, 2015-In his first year as head coach at Fallbrook High, the Warriors finished with a 3-8 record in 2013 but in his second season and for the first time in school history in 11 years Kyle Williams guided the Warriors to a 7-4 along with their first Valley League title in the first round was defeated in the CIF First Round San Diego Section playoffs by Granite Hills 38-7 on the Warriors home field. The last time Fallbrook had their last winning season was in 2003 where they won the Avocado League Title under former coach Dennis Houldren as they finished with a 10-4 record and were defeated in Qualcolm Stadium by Torrey Pines 7-3.

With a career record of 10-12 Coach Williams discussed his squad for 2015 "We had our first winning season for the first time in 11 years along with a Valley League title our players are confident and talented as we return a lot of starters who are solid seniors and talented kids who are juniors we feel as long as we're competitive we will play our best football this season the schools that we play are good there are no easy games for our squad as we need to play well in order for us to be successful."

"One of the talented backs the Warriors return in Parker Martin is a returning transfer back for us this year after his family was stationed in Alaska for the last 2 years is an runner for us he also ran a 4.6 in the 40 yard dash his speed is smooth and powerful."

"Up front the Warriors return 6'4" 250 pound sr and All Valley League football player and starts on both sides of the ball for us Colin Dowling." said Williams." At qb will be Jack Grantham, with a good arm for us and hope to counter our running game along with his ability to throw the ball which we didn't do." "With an array of backs who are looking to run and to score touchdowns we return James Nicholas a very explosive running back for us last season as he ran key plays for us and also doubles on the corners on whoever their best receiver is we also return James Nicholas and Isaac Maxwell is a 6'3" tight ends doubles as a defensive end for and is a strong down blocker but his hands are questionable we have to continue to make sure that he is punting the ball and receiving the ball we are not waste a play."

"Some teams to watch out for in the Valley League are Escondido as they put their game in the league as they suffered a lot of injuries last year and their record didn't reflect their talent level, San Pasqual 2 years ago played for the CIF Division I finals they are going to be good Valley Center has won 4 or 6 CIF Championships in the last 11 years those three teams that we have to battle every week it is going to be close and competitive you can't disregard Orange Glen they have won 6 games last year outside of the conference their improving which helps their kids every game for us is going to be difficult."

"We open up against Westview High School which is a very talented team they are a bigger division then what we are they are big up front on both sides of the ball they have skilled and big receivers their qb is athletic they don't want to try to throw the ball far down the field but they are more of an intermediate passing game they want to hammer the ball with their backs and want their athletic quarterback to run the ball we feel like on defense where we can stop the run don't give up any plays."

"Our offense runs the Wing T formation it started I was a defensive coordinator for 16 years the team that I had most respect in the county was Torrey Pines they run the wing t they made me study that offensive play as I knew someday we are going to run the Wing T this offensive formation has so many elements which is power football and you can go outside look for the action pass it is a do what you want offense as long as you stick with the rules it is the offense that Fallbrook used to run in the early 2000's when we had good years when they won their last title in 2003 and when I got the job as head coach this school is built for the Wing T we wanted to get get rid of the spread offense the Wing T offense fits our guys as our school had tried to run we are not going to be the biggest team on the field we are going to be the most conditioned and the most athletic we want to fire our offensive on all cylinders in the 4th quarter."

This week in the Western Division

QuarterfinalsGame 9: Calabasas (CA) at Lawndale (CA) (Friday, November 20th, 7:30pm) [projection: Calabasas (CA) 34-21]
Game 10: Oxnard (CA) at Redondo (Redondo Beach, CA) (Friday, November 20th, 7:00pm) [projection: Redondo (Redondo Beach, CA) 27-17]
Game 11: North (Torrance, CA) at Mira Costa (Manhattan Beach, CA) (Friday, November 20th, 7:00pm) [projection: Mira Costa (Manhattan Beach, CA) 31-20]
Game 12: Palos Verdes (Palos Verdes Estates, CA) at Pacifica (Oxnard, CA) (Friday, November 20th, 7:00pm) [projection: Palos Verdes (Palos Verdes Estates, CA) 20-14]

I don't have any keen insight on the remaining games having seen only Lawndale. Otherwise I have just been watching the scores mostly of the southern leagues, but I am aware of a little of the northern leagues in this division, by score results.

Good luck Lawndale. Lawndale is pretty much a one trick pony with talented QB Chris Murray. An adequate passer but an outstanding runner. If Calabasas keeps him contained, and it sounds like they have the talent to do that against anybody in this division, then the Coyotes should be able exceed that score projection. Lawndale's Murray has a bit of a better supporting cast this year with the transfers they received from Santa Monica, but it just won't be enough against this loaded Calabasas team.

Not sure if I agree with the Redondo 10 point spread win projection. I think Oxnard coach John Mack might be able to surprise in this one. Redondo has been pretty stingy on defense this year but not sure if they have faced any team playing the Oxnard run formation offense. Be careful though, if Oxnard is successful moving the ball on the ground, their QB is talented enough to trip you up with some play action passes.
It is difficult to go against the computer projections at this point of the season but I would call this more a toss up.

Game of the week in the Western Division this week should be Mira Costa hosting North Torrance. North is another team leaning heavily on one particular talented athlete in QB/LB Mekhi Juarez, a lock to play division 1 football. Mira Costa probably lacks the talent that Calabasas has to stop a threat like Juarez completely, but Costa does usually have some size and usually among the most talented public schools in the south bay so I am just not sure what to think in this one. North rarely has had a year recently in which they had the talent to compete at Mira Costa's level, but with Juarez, this year may be the exception. The computer projection is for an 11 point spread win for Costa, but I think this one too could down to the wire.

Pacifica hosts Palos Verdes in what the computer projection has listed as its closest game, a 6 point spread win for PV. Not sure I see it that close. Pacifica was the recipient of a 6 turnover game from Culver City last week and I don't think PV will be that gracious. The Pacifica QB has some basic skills both throwing and running when necessary, but the slim junior might want to be careful venturing outside the pocket of his hefty line. The Pacifica running backs have some speed but I don't think it will be enough against PV's very sturdy defense. I think PV by 2 TD's in an otherwise low scoring game. Perhaps 21-7.
