Edison vs. Servite-On T.V. Friday Night

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.

And They Went Down...

Last Thursday our JV team lost (we are 2-1 now). It was as if the offense was asleep the whole game. The defense scored all of the points for our team, except for 2) & we were actually about to pull off the win...the offense only needed to score 1 touchdown, but they couldn't do it! We lost 16-10.

My son had one of his best games ever on defense. I was so proud of him, but I wish it could've ended with a win!

Here's some pics of our win 2 weeks ago against Long Beach Wilson (44-0).

**~**This Friday night 9/24/10 @ 7:30 p.m., we will be on T.V. (Fox Sports Net Prime Ticket) playing Servite (private school)-the team that beat us last year in the CIF Championship game. Be sure to tune in & look for #26 Elijah Herrera (sophomore) on special teams!

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!!
