Another Win For Edison High School

We are on a roll! Last week the freshmen team for Edison H.S. won a hard battle against Esperanza 16-14. Elijah scored both of the touchdowns...which was very cool because it was his first this season. I told him, "You waited till it really counted!" That was our first official league game.

ELIJAH HERRERA #9- TOUCHDOWN #1

TOUCHDOWN #2





Juking & Out Running to the End Zone
He is having such an awesome season. He's spent his whole life on that field watching his older brothers play. It's so nice to see him finally out there showing HIS stuff! He also plays outside linebacker and is doing incredible on defense too. I'm so proud of him!



We just got back from their second league game against Newport Harbor H.S. We killed them 56-22. We put our second string in when it was 50-8. We had a complete team win...everyone played well. Elijah got another TD and caught several passes and had a great punt return juking about five guys.

I'll post some pics after I upload them. I LOVE Football season!!

SIDE NOTE: Our Varsity team is ranked #1 in CA and one report has us at 4th in the Nation...GO EDISON!!

WORST POSSIBLE SCENARIO!

Tonight's game was a DISASTER! If we beat Esperanza, we would be sole Sunset League Champions. If we lost...it would be a 5 way tie for first place and would come down to pulling out of a hat to see who goes to playoffs. WE LOST!!! We all hurried back to Edison, and waited, held our breathe and hoped for good luck. Only 3 teams would receive a playoff spot...two would be automatically out depending on what number they pulled out of the hat. Edison pulled spot #4...this leaves us with a slim chance that the CIF officials will pick our league to receive the "At Large Berth" tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m.

It was terrible...Jullien and the seniors were DEVASTATED! He didn't get to play in his last high school game, on his birthday and this might be the end of his season. Everyone keep your fingers crossed that the CIF officials will choose our school to be the final playoff spot!! I haven't seen him this upset in years. He has worked so hard to earn a starting position and make it to the playoffs, to have it all come down to LUCK is hard to swallow.
