How does LB Poly look this year? Would love to see them rise up again.

Barely Top 20 in Cali of late. I'm thinking those glory days are long gone.

Scorebook Live and SI sure thinks highly of Poly as they have them in their ‘next 10’. So Poly is a top 35 national preseason team according to them. I think that is a joke. But Poly could be around #10-15 in Cali.

Poly is trending up.  They had a very good 2021 season.

Need to schedule some quality OOS competition first to earn this guy's respect.

No OOS games. No respect. 

Baby steps.  You need another quality Calif public school to be in the mix down the road

Seriously? So if a team doesn’t schedule OOS they don’t garner respect?

Yeah that’s a terrible perspective.

A SoCal team can put together one of the toughest schedules in the country playing just local teams. 
You have the economic factors to consider. A school like Poly does not have the program budget to put their team on a plane. Maybe once every few years they can travel to play. Unless they get sponsor support it is incredibly difficult for many of these public programs to travel. Some schools in the LA and San Diego sections have had to get public support in order to send their teams to the state finals in NorCal.

Not exactly. It'll just be much harder for them to be highly ranked.

Remember, the name of this site is NATIONALhsfb.com. Those other conversations can happen on your local boards.

LBP can host any OOS team they want. Nobody is saying they have to travel. Or they can play in the Honor Bowl every once in a while. That's all I'm suggesting.

Didn’t Poly play IMG a few years ago?

Six years ago. Comparatively, DV played IMG and MD in back to back seasons.

This is a huge move for Los Al. I don’t think one player will make a difference, but they now have one of the best players at this position in the country, which is the position that was Los Al’s biggest weakness.

Hearing the kid's father is a nightmare to deal with. Good luck with that.

Kaiser for the first 4 to 5 years of its existence, soaked up most of Fontana's talent and dominated the lower divisions with it
