Cathedral Catholic (San Diego) beats a pre-season, nationally ranked #25, Jordan (Utah) 38-6 in every facet of the game…and doesn’t even get a sniff??? So much for pre-season rankings.
pqedmundo is right. Cathedral Catholic should be in the top 25. Also, why does Oceanside get a sly low blow w/ “Some anxious early moments for the Pirates…”; but no mention that Serra (Gardena) vs. Desert Ridge game wasn’t decided until the last minute of the game.
Oceanside 47-28
Serra 28-22
Mission Hills should definitely be a top 25 team also.
SMH
Cathedral definitely looks like a Top 25 team, but I’m afraid I over looked them too in TinyTim’s 2013 preseason California Top 35. The Dons should have no trouble with Torrey Pines next week, but then take on Helix and Vista Murrietta: they’ll be in TinyTim’s top 10 if they beat those two! Also, Jordan has to play Salt Lake East (currently the #1 ranked team in Utah) and national power Bergen Catholic of New Jersey the next two weeks in Sandy. Should the Beetdiggers play those two tough or even win, the Dons’ standing would be further enhanced.
Here’s TinyTim’s Preseason Top 35: (All teams are 0-0-0)
1. De La Salle (Concord)
2. Vista Murrieta
3. Mission Viejo
4. St. John Bosco (Bellflower)

7. Serra (Gardena)
8. Mater Dei (Santa Ana)
9. Long Beach Poly
10. Bellarmine (San Jose)
11. Folsom
12. Oaks Christian (Westlake Village)
13. Oceanside

22. Edison (Huntington Beach)
23. Elk Grove
24. San Clemente
25. Mission Hills (San Marcos)
26. Hart (Newhall)
27. Bakersfield

35. Crenshaw (LA)
This list is a projection of what the rankings will look like at the end of the season in December, not necessarily a show of strength going into the 2013 season. It will have very little bearing on the first “real” Top 35 which will be right after the Week 1 games.
Cathedral beat a very overranked team and now think they are better than they are. Oceanside has a terrible qb that throws ducks, but have 2 players that are solid qbs on the bench. That provides hope.
O’side has a big challenge in Serra this week. Hopefully they well enough to win.
GO PIRATES!!
*play
what do you think is honestly going to happen in Serra vs. your Pirates blackbeard?
There are three different styles with regards to training herding dogs, that
mainly be determined by the type of livestock being moved and
also the farm’s necessities. There is also aspects of dog training including detection
dogs for law enforcement that will produce a substantial income.
Preferably they must be created from a non-stretchy durable material.
He’s not really a punch bag that you’ll be able to take your frustrations on, as
well as that little slap about the snout no longer has sufficient order.
