An even more dominant BC outing
BC's 55-7 slaughter of L.A. Valley on Saturday night demonstrated that the Renegades ought to rank among the top SoCal teams, but the enthusiasm needs to be tempered somewhat because Valley was simply overpowered by BC's physical play. But it's obvious the offensive line is big and physical, and the defensive line is quick, big and physical. I figure only the top-level JC teams in the state will match up with that physical play up front. El Camino, who plays host to BC a week from next Saturday, is one of those types of teams. That will be the first real test for the Renegades. The running back depth took a bit of a hit. Andre Smith is already out (ankle), and Eric Jones, who looked sensational (78 yards, nine carries) hurt his ankle in the fourth quarter. Ben Estill (147 yards), Keldon Hampton (28 yards) and Julian Dean-Johnson (51 yards) looked good, as did backup QB Lyle Negron (57 yards). It will be interesting to see how BC does in its first road game, next Saturday at Santa Monica. The so-so BC team from last year did score 60 points vs. Santa Monica a year ago, so one would think this could be another blowout. We'll see.

From one journalist to another, I 'm absolutely appalled at how you slathered your personal feelings all over this story. I understand sports can be, and often is something to get passionate about, but not like this. Now I understand for myself why the Californian is not what it used to be. posted by

Give him a pass, Rip. It's a blog. I don't know about Journalist ethics but the writing rules are a little more lax. posted by

jfrancais: I suppose you're correct. But being a journalist myself, I guess I expect the standards I was taught to be industry-wide. Then again, I've been taught by who I consider to be the best in the biz so to speak. Not many can measure up to him. Rip posted by

I'm confused. Is it MATTHEW Estill or Ben? Survey here: is this Renegade team as good or better than the 2007 team that had Bower at QB? I know its hard to say this soon, but this team certainly seems more balanced on both sides of the ball. Being a North High guy, it was good to see JDJ in the action a bit. posted by

Hey, does anybody even know what became of Bower after his phenominal 2007 season at BC? One other question: where can I find SPECIFIC game stats for BC? BC's site doesn't seem to have them.
