Tomorrow night will be another big football match up between #3 ranked Edison vs. #1 ranked Servite...AND you can watch it on Fox Sport West (FSN) Prime Ticket Friday Sept. 24, 2010 @ 7:30 p.m. (check your local listings).
This should prove to be a "MUST SEE" game-both teams are 3-0!
It'll be a great match up. We played Servite last year in the CIF finals & unfortunately due to the rain, we lost (read my post here).
This year we are the underdogs, (a young inexperienced team) however, Edison is used to being in this position. With no rain in the forecast, we have a GREAT shot at the upset.
We need to keep the penalties & turnovers to a minimum, execute the offense with precision & throw them off guard with our new quarterback, Chase Favreau who is very fast, a definite threat once he is forced out of the pocket.
The Chargers defense has been very strong & with our stand out defensive end, Charles Burks, they are going to have to find a way to slow him down.
With all the weapons, I think Servite will be surprised at the strength, determination, team work and "refuse to lose" attitude that the Chargers bring to the field on Friday night.
**Be sure to watch for my son #26, Elijah Herrera (he's a sophomore & plays on special teams).
~side note-The J.V. team beat Servite today 27-6.

Edison vs. Servite CIF Championship Game
Tonight is the big night...we play Servite for the CIF Pac 5 Championship at Angels Stadium at 7:30. It will also be shown on Primeticket, but we'll be there! We've had a great season, UNDEFEATED.
I feel bad for Jullien, he should have been in this graduating class but I started him in school when he was 4. He constantly lets me know it too! Last year he received 1st Team All Sunset League Linebacker and had an amazing season. He said, "Imagine how good I could've been if I had one more year with the kids my own age." Last year he missed the last game, which we lost to Esperanza, due to a concussion. It was the worst possible thing...5 way Sunset League tie for 1st place. They pulled names out of the hat and we were not picked to go to CIF playoffs. It was devastating for the seniors! It's sad to see them at the games this year...just dreaming about what could've been last year.
It's going to be a tough game. Even though we handed Servite their only loss this year, they're going to be ready. The thing that worries me is the rain. My oldest son, Josh was on the 2006 Edison team that went to the CIF Championship game by defeating Servite twice to get there. The problem in that CIF game, which we lost lost to Orange Lutheran...R A I N!
We are a passing team. This presents a lot of opportunity for errors when it's raining. Servite has a quarterback who scrambles...makes it a little easier for them. This year however, Edison has so many weapons. They mixed in the Wildcat offense to throw our opponents off in a couple games. It worked! This may be a great alternative for Edison this year if we run into the same problem as the 2006 team. It will be the first CIF championship for Edison since 1985. I know the boys can pull it off...we just need to continue with the same "Refuse to Lose" attitude.
**If you watch it on t.v., be sure to look for my stepson on the sidelines #26 (he's only a sophomore). During last weeks game he kept standing behind our quarterback, Matt Viles, every time the camera was around. We were teasing him and told him to make sure he waves to all his fans this game! He's no dummy, he knows the cameras are going to be on Viles & strategically positions himself...he loves attention!

Edison vs. Servite
Yesterday the Freshman had their big game against the power house private school Servite. It was one of those back and forth games, they scored, then we did. It basically came down to whoever had the ball last, would win the game.
In the 4th quarter we were down 13-14. We drove all the way to the 3rd yard line. It was first and goal with 40 seconds left in the game. The crowd was screaming and cheering...we were going to win the hard fought battle. The quarterback knelt down behind the center, waiting to take the snap, shouting, "Hut, hut!" The ball was hiked...slipping in between the quarterback and centers hands. It fell at a Servite lineman's feet. Everyone scrambled, pushing shoving, trying to land on top of the loose ball. Whoever came up with that ball would win the game.
And the winner is................................

Servite!?????!
Can you believe it? We had that game won, there wasn't a question. Everyone in the stands and on the sidelines were ready to celebrate a HUGE victory. It was the biggest let down, the only scenario that possibly could have made us lose the game, a fumble...happened. I'm still upset, can you tell? The poor boys were devastated. Next week we play another powerhouse private school and USC Quarterback Matt Barkley's Alma Mater......MATER DEI. I hope things turn out better then!!
Varsity plays tonight and they're the underdogs. The games sold out and it's going to be a tough one. Hope we can pull it off. GO EDISON!!
