Standing at four palm trees in the Kalabasas Hai ATV, football players from Los Alalamitos are trained on the face of Ray Fenton's coach for more than five continuous minutes.
Looking to see if anyone’s focus loses when his mother goes and starts screaming at her daughter, there is no answer incredibly. Players continue to listen and do not give their eyes on Fenton.
Nowadays, it is quite difficult to force adolescents to listen to 30 seconds for adults, but to see how a whole football team that does not allow anyone to bother anyone focus while their coach says that this season Los Alamitos is 7-0, and a high-grade football team in Southern California.
“Everyone is watching the coach,” said the offensive cracker Braden McKenna. “These are all the little things that hold you in the discipline. Wear the mouthpiece, follow it. ”
It is not true that the moose -Alamitos has no stars. Perhaps they were not mentioned in the pre -season lists of excitement, but the players still performed at a high level.
The dense end of Bekham Hofland, 6 feet 5 and 230 pounds, is a cargo for coating, and also serves as a kiker. Camden Tillis and Lenny Ibarra, running back, are universal and reliable. Kvoterbek Colin Krizon, who was sitting last season, moving from Long -Bich Poli, continues to improve. The line of the offensive, led by the Maccena veteran, which plays in the center, is very good. Ibarra leads protection with 66 gear.

“It is much easier to want to win with someone, which you care about, and they care about you,” Mackenna said about the chemistry of the team.
Los Alamitos had a more talented team in recent years that the students -transfers helped. This one mainly grew up at home, and Fenton could not be happier.
“They are friends,” Fenton said. “They grew together. You play more diligent with the guys with whom you are friends. You don't want to let them down. They are los al kids. They are proud of the community. ”
They won 34-31 in Hawaii in connection with the tied and victorious goals of Ibarra, who practiced the ball between two palm trees in the park. They shot down Harden Serra 42-21. They defeated a good team of granite hills 49-42. Seven wins in a row came within seven weeks, so now they are at a two-week break to prepare for a difficult task, to grow up with three good opponents of Alfa League-Edison at the Sophie Stadium on October 16 on October 24 and the final against the Viekho mission on October 30 in Artesia.
They are serious applicants for a place in the play -off 1 division of the southern site, although some people still cannot understand how they continue to win.
The answer is simple: they are hungry. Never should you underestimate the team in which one teammate after another supports each other, regardless of problems, regardless of obstacles, regardless of the skepticism of others.
“This is a return,” Fenton said. “This is an old school. Play your local school, play for your community, play for your friends. The children with whom you played Pop Warner are children with whom you play football in high school. This is how it should have been. ”
