Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks head coach Kevin Rooney could be in the midst of an historically significant season as one of his former players chases baseball greatness. At right is Acalanes of Lafayette QB Robby Rowell, who is now in the state record book with seven TD passes in one half. Photos: ndhs.org & Hudl.com.
This will be the weekly post for Gold Club members mixed with opinions, top state stat stars of the week and state record updates. This week, we propose a national Open Division for football, say why Jordan Brown’s move to Prolific Prep hurt more than the usual transfer, add Acalanes QB Robbie Rowell to all-time list of those with seven TD passes or more in one half, wonder whether Giancarlo Stanton’s 60th homer or his football coach at Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) winning his 300th game will come first and go over why this week it was very tough to choose a SoCal Defensive Player of the Week.
Note: All state record-related posts (including this one with opinion items) for the rest of the season will be for Gold Club members only. The first run-through of CIF state bowl game projections will be free, but the rest of those will be Gold Club as well. You can still sign up today for just $9.99 for three months, which by the way will carry you through most of the current season. For details, CLICK HERE.
As the Mater Dei of Santa Ana vs. Las Vegas Bishop Gorman football game is coming up fast, here’s an idea to float out there: How about having an Open Division for the nation?
