EAGLES CONTINUE TO DOMINATE IN LEAGUE OPENER
October 23, 2005
It was the Brentwood Homecoming. It was a gloomy day. But that could not deter the Eagles. The JV won easily. The Alumi had played their flag football game and it was now time for the main event.
The Eagles won the coin flip and took the ball. The kickoff went to Kevin Yamazaki, Brentwood's famous and fabulous "Zaki," and he returned it for 24 yards. However the Eagles could not take it the remainder. However, those opening few plays were soon displaced by a barrage.
The second half of the opening period was, to put it mildly, all Eagles. With 8:16 to go in the quarter, the Eagles struck first on a 5 yard run by the Zaki. Six minutes later, the Eagles went in for their second score, this time on a 6 yard Zaki run. On the first TD, the kick was blocked. So when the second score came, the Eagles went for two. A Moss pass to Hansen-Ashkar made the score 14-0 and it looked like the Eagles were clearly the better team. A fumble on the Minutemen's firt play from scrimmage, which was picked up and run 8 yards into the endzone by Boggs, and, after Paley's kick, the Eagles led with still over 2 minutes to go in the opening period by the score of 21-0.
The Eagles were still not done for the quarter. After a series of three unsuccessful pass plays the Eagles had the ball once more. With just over a minute to go in the first quarter, the Eagles scored again, this time on an 8 yard run by the Zaki. The score at the end of one quarter: Eagles 28- Maranatha 0.
The second quarter saw the Eagles dominate, but not put us points. The only Eagle score during the quarter came near the quarter's mid-point. This time it was a 21 yard run by the Zaki. The Eagle lead was extended to 35-0.
The Maranatha Minutemen did get on the score board with 2:31 to go in the half, when a receiver was able to split two members of the secondary and catch an 18 yard pass for a touchdown. The score at the half was 35-7.
While the Eagle starters were in at the beginning of the second half, during the third quarter, to the extent there were replacements, they came out. With a mixture of starters and replacements, the Eagles added a 6th TD, this time on a 4 yard run by Hansen-Ashkar.
During the third and fourth quarters, the Eagle offense showed a real ability to just grind out the yards. Both the first team offense and the firt team defense controled all aspects of the game. The final score was 42-14. The Eagles final score came on a 51 yard run by Chase Bennett. The victory gave the Eagles their first league victory. The Eagles are now 1-0 in league.
This was a total and complete team victory. The total dominance by the Eagles is best seen by the fact that the Eagles earned 13 first downs, while Maranatha has only two first downs in each half for a total of four.
All aspects of the Eagle team were far superior to that of the visitors. This is most encouraging as Maranatha came into the game with a record the equal of the Eagles--5-1--and Maranatha had just come off a solid victory over league rival, Calvery Chapel Downey, the Eagles next opponent. Thus, the Eagles must be favored in their next match.
The Zaki had 106 yards rushing in the fist half on 15 carries and 128 yards on 19 carries for the game. The Zaki had 4 TDs. Hansen-Ashkar carried the 15 times for 49 yards and one TD. Overall the Eagles ran for 177 on 41 carries and ran for 5 TDS.
Ian Shaw was credited with 5 1/2 tackles and an interception to lead the Eagles. Malcolm Henderson and Tommy Grogan were next with 3 1/2 tackles each. 18 different Eagles were credited with tackles.
It was a fine and total victory. While this week's opponent should not present a problem for the Eagles, but you never know. Once the next game is behind the Eagles they must take on the two teams that are directly behind them in the latest Division XIII poll. The Eagles are the third ranked team, with league rival Whittier Christian being ranked 4th and Campbell Hall being ranked 5th. We trust the CIF has the rankings correct. Let the Eagles soar!!!!
EAGLES NOT RANKED IN INITIAL CIF POLL

EAGLES NOT RANKED IN INITIAL CIF POLL
The first CIF polls for 2004 came out today (9/8) and the Eagles were not among the top 10 in the initial rankings for Division XIII. Several of the teams in last weekend's scrimmage were ranked in Divisions XI and XII. The Eagles were ranked number 5 in the last Division XII poll last year (pre-playoff poll). The Bald Eagle is not worried, because the Eagles held their own against the ranked opponents last Saturday and they will be ready for their Division XIII foes when they get to that point of the schedule.

Preseason Scrimmage Goes Well

Preseason Scrimmage Goes Well
The Eagles took part in a multi-team scrimmage on Saturday on their home field. The scrimmage was the unveiling of the 2004 Eagles. The team has a solid core anchored by the returning players, but after that the team is young and inexperienced. Three freshman and four sophomores saw action in the scrimage. The consensus was that the Eagles performed up to or better than expectations.
Eagles Win Their Opener
September 11, 2004
A Mammoth Task -After More Than Three Hours, The Eagles Are Left Standing
On Saturday, on the Eagles' home field, on a hot afternoon (in every respect), the Eagles came away with a 27-26 victory over a fine Mammoth team that had traveled to Brentwood. It was the opening game for both teams. The Eagles received the opening kickoff and, as we predicted, went to the air. but Sam Bartman, the returning All-conference QB, and his new set of receivers, were not initially in sync. The Eagles first two drives both which went no place. These first two drives were a feeling out period for the team.
The Mammoth Huskies were the first to score. The Huskies first scored on a 14 yard run from their star runner Wallentine, who, all day, would give the Eagles all they could handle. Wallentine clearly gained well more than a 100 yards on the ground. Wallentine’s first touchdown came with 1:12 to go in the first quarter. The kick was blocked by Austen Marrs. Little did anyone know how important a play this would be. Mammoth lead at the end of the first quarter 6-0.
The touchdown seemed to wake up the Eagle offense. Brentwood took the kickoff after the Mammoth score and threw to a tying touchdown in just two minutes. The touchdown came on a 27 yard pass from Bartman to Aaron Jamison. Rotstein’s kick was good, and the Eagles led 7-6.
After this first score, the Eagle defense shut down the Huskies--three and out. Upon getting back the ball, the Eagles quickly scored again. This time on a perfect 72 yard pass from Bartman to Andrew Moreno. Rotstein’s kick was blocked and the score stood: Eagles 13-Mammoth 6. This was the half-time score.
At the half, Bartman was 11 for 19 for 210 yards and 2 Tds, with one interception. During the first half, the Eagles had run the ball 7 times for 28 yards–4 yards per carry is fine. While the Eagles earned 8 first downs, the defense had limited Mammoth to only 3. It was a very good first half.
The Eagles opened the second half with Rotstein putting his third straight kickoff into the endzone–well into the endzone. No need to worry about a runback when the kickoff goes into the endzone. As the defense continued to play well, the ball was soon back in the Eagles hands. With 7:13 to go in the third quarter, Edgar Gamez ran the ball into the endzone. After Rotstein's kicked, the Eagles had a 14 point lead: 20-6.
Seven minutes later, Wallentine ran the ball in from three and after the kick, Mammoth had closed the gap to 7: 20-13. Mammoth’s touchdown cam with just 27 second remaining in the third quarter.
As they did after Mammoth’s first score, the Eagles came right back. With less than a minute gone in the fourth quarter, Bartman hit Moreno on a 39 yard touchdown pass. When
Rotstein’s kick was good, the Eagles had returned their lead back to 14 points.
Mammoth, which ran and ran and ran the ball, now seemed to be in trouble. But Mammoth did not quit. The Huskies just put the ball on the ground and pounded it at the Eagles. With 8:44 to go in the game, Wallentine had a 29 yard run for his and Mammoth’s third touchdown. When the kick was good, the lead just 7: 27-20.
The Eagles were able to run a couple of minutes off the clock, but with 3:32 to go their drive ended. Mammoth now had the ball and the ability to move into the lead.
Mammoth knew that they would have only one chance. The defense knew a stop and the game was the Eagles. Mammoth slowly moved down the field. The drive was punctuated with multiple timeouts, penalties, players cramping and what not. It lasted an eternity. With less than a mintute to go in the game, it was 4th down on the one with the game seemingly on the line. One yard could be the difference between victory and defeat. Mammoth called on Wallentine and he drove into the endzone. The clock showed their were only 41 seconds left in the game. Mammoth was within a point. The score stood 27-26.
Mammoth called its final timeout. It was decision time. The Huskies could kick and go for a tie. They could run and go for the win. Perhaps because of the missed kick on the first touchdown, perhaps for other reasons, the decision was to go for the win. Mammoth lineup and tried to run to its left, but the Eagle defensewas there and stuffed them. It was celebration time. It felt like the victory was in hand, but the game was far from over.
An onside kick was coming. It was perfectly executed. The ball bounced across the field and right into the arms of a streaking Mammoth player, who was racing down the field. Mammoth had the ball in Eagle territory. Mammoth had another chance.
On the first play, the Eagles sacked Mammoth's quarterback for almost a ten yard loss, but the effort went for naught as the Eagles were call for a 15 yard penalty. Nothing could have made the crowd more nervous. However, on the next play, there was an error on the handoff. While the Eagles were unable to recover the loose ball, the error moved the ball back almost 10 yards. The Eagle defense was inspired and was able to thwart Mammoth's three remaining tries. With the help of the clock, the Eagles held. Game 1 of the 2004 season was in the record book. The Eagles had a 27-26 victory.
The Mammoth win was clearly a team effort. Bartman threw for 290 yards on a 14 for 25 afternoon, as the Eagles filled the air with footballs. Two of his receivers had centuries, over 100 receiving yards: Andrew Moreno, who caught two balls for two touchdowns and 111 yards and Aaron Jamison, who caught 4 balls for a touchdown and 100 yards. Kevin Yamazaki had two catches for 25 yards. Six others had one reception, one of whom was a big surprise. Michael Davidoff (13yds), Austen Marrs (11yds), Edgar Gamez (10 yds), Brett Hanson-Ashkar (9yds) and Blake Levin were expected receivers. The unexpected receiver: Jon Friedman(11yds), who alertly caught a tipped ball to help the Eagle offense.
The Eagles running attack was effective, when called upon. Yamazaki ran five times for 28 yards. Gamez had six tough carries for 11 yards and a touchdown. Sam “K-S” Kussin-Shoptaw had two carries for 16 yards. The Eagles thus averaged an ecellent 4.24 yards per rushing attempt. When combined with the over 11 yards per passing attempt, with only one turnover, it was a great offensive show.
The line, led by Neal Chawla, Gordon Kramer, Sam Gilbert, Jon Friedman and Chris Vamos, performed beyond expectations. Bartman was sacked just once, and that was a coverage sack. The line, which before the game was a big question mark, is a question mark no more. The line provided excellent protection for Bartman and opened holes for the running backs.
The defense did the job. It was a team effort, as evidenced by the fact that 15 players were credited with tackles.
The list is as follows: Gamez 8, including a sack; Friedman 6; Malcolm Henderson and K-S 5½ each; Marrs 5, including a sack, and the key blocked extra point; Hansen-Ashkar 4; Ian Shaw and Tommy Grogan 3½ each; Davidoff 3; Ross Drath 2½; Nicky Lee, Drew Stern and Jamison 2 each, one of Lee’s was for a loss; Andrew Boggs 1½; and Yamazaki 1. Jamison added to the cause with an interception.
Rotstein had only two punts, showing how well the offense moved the ball. On kickoffs, Rotstein put his first three kickoffs into the endzone, precluding any return. His fourth kickoff did not make the endzone, but only because he was forced to kickoff from the 25.
The ruckus Eagle crowd was provided heart stopping excitement for more than three hours of sun and heat. At the end of the day, the comment of one of the senior players said it all: “We can win the division.” The game made believers of many who watched. We will see. But many doubts that existed as to whether the Seniors could lead and whether the newcomers could fill such big shoes were answered in a positive manner. Much improvement and development is still needed. But this was a very good start. There were many to many penalties, the most that the Bald Eagles remembers at any Eagle game. They will have to be eliminated and we know they will.
Overall, while several of the Eagles appeared in great pain during the game, it was mostly cramping on this hot hot day. We are hoping the Eagles did not suffer any injuries that will cause a loss of playing time. However, one or two players may have injuries that are more than ordinary bruises. Next up is Montclair Prep, Saturday the 18th at Valley College. Let the Eagles soar!!!
EAGLES FALL TO MONTCLAIR PREP
September 23, 2004
EAGLES FALL TO MONTCLAIR PREP 40-14
On September 18th under the lights the Eagles took on Division XII Montclair Prep. As the Eagles soon learned, the opponent has one of the finest half-backs in the area. Ethan Edwards leads Montclair Prep and he may well lead the Southern Section, all divisions, in rushing before the year is out. However, that said, the Eagles were able to make adjustments and they outscored Montclair in the second half 7-6. In addition to Edwards, Montclair has a very formidable defense. This time the Eagles were not able to overcome a Division XII opponent. The Eagles thus fell to 1-1 before a bye this week because of the retreats and Jewish holidays.
The game proved a true test for the Eagles on both sides of the line. Montclair Prep was the first to score, scoring on a 34 yard run by Edwards a mere 1:13 into the game, but the kick failed The Eagles were next to score, scoring on a 16 yard pass from Sam Bartman to Aaron Jamison. When Jimmie Rotstein’s kick was good, the Eagles had a 7-6 lead. However, on the second play from scrimmage Edwards broke through the Eagle defense going 79 yards to put Montclair Prep back into the lead, a lead which it never relinquished.
Eagle stats for this game were as follows:
Rushing: Yamazaki 6 for 13, , Kussin-Shoptaw 4 for 11, Gamez 1 for 2 and Shaw 1 for 2. Receiving: Moreno 3 fo 26, Yamazaik 1 for 22 and a TD, Jamison 2 for 21 and a TD, Boggs 1 for 11 and Davidoff 1 for 8.
Passing: Bartman was 8 for 88 and 2TDs and no interceptions.
Special teams performed well. Jamison returned 5 kick-offs for 98 yards and Davidson 1 for 13. Yamazaki returned two punts for 81 yards. Rotstein had 7 punts for 244 yards, a 34 yard average. Rotstein did miss one field goal attempt from 50 yards out.
Defensively, 17 players were credited with tackles: Shaw led with 6 ½ and a sack, Kussin-shoptaw was next with 5, Henderson had 4 ½ and caused a fumble, Hanson-Ashkar had 4 ½ and one for a loss, Moreno had 4, Friedman and Drath had 3 ½ and Drath recovered a fumble, Marrs had 3, Stern had 2 ½ . Boggs, Lee, Davidov and Rodriguez had 2 each. Grogan and Gamez 1 ½ each. Jamison 1 and Gilbert ½.
Next up for the Eagles on October 1, is Lucerne Valley, which will come into the game with the same record as our Eagles. The Mustangs, as they are called, opened the season by taking a 39-0 drubbing from Imperial and then they came back to beat Knight by the almost identical score of 33-0. The Mustangs play a third game out at Needles this week before hosting our Eagles.

Eagles Run Record to 3-1 With 2 Impressive Dominating Wins
October 10, 2004
EAGLES COMPILE TWO IMPRESSIVE WINS OVER LUCERNE VALLEY AND WESTERN CHRISTIAN
The Eagles ran their record to 3-1, with two impressive victories over non-league opponents, preparing the Eagles for Saturday’s game against Pasadena Poly, the number three ranked team in Division XIII, the Eagles’ division. The Eagles ran through and around their two opponents, Lucerne Valley and Western Christian. They did so by way of an impressive ground game, which dominated their two opponents.
The games saw the emergence of Kevin Yamazaki as a premier running back. And as everyone knows, premier running backs are only given that label if they have a line that gives them room to work. Thus, praise for the line is required.
The Lucerne Valley game saw Sam “K-S” Kussin-Shoptaw show that the Eagles also have a power fullback with speed. K-S reminded this reporter of Jim Taylor of the great Packer teams of the 60s. The success of the running game and the leads that the Eagles maintained, grounded the air attack against Western Christian. Nothing to worry about. In the Western game, Bartman only threw 12 times completing 5. However, two other long strikes were on target and showed that the Eagles will be able to air it out, when the time comes that a passing game is needed. There was a happy satisfied group of coaches after the Eagles' most recent victory. So happy, that one coach was off to take a red-eye to Hong Kong.
So what happened the last two weeks? On October 1st, the Eagles made the long trip to Lucerne Valley (just before Victorville) and exhibited a fully balanced attack through a tough first half. It was only with 4:06 to go in the second quarter that the Eagles were the first able to put points on the board. At that time, Bartman rolled into the end zone from the 4, and with Jim Rotstein’s kick, the Eagles had a 7-0 lead, which they took into the locker room at half-time.
The first half saw Bartman go 9 for 12 for an impressive 131 yards, with the Eagles gaining another 50 yards on the ground. Three turnovers during the second quarter, by the Eagles, which is clearly uncharacteristic, kept the game close.
In the third quarter, there were no more fumbles and the Eagle’s motorcycle, the “Zaki” took over. Yamazaki ran the ball into the endzone twice during the third quarter, first from the two, with 3:37 to go in the quarter, and then from the 7, with 30 second s to go in the quarter. The second TD, for all practical purposes, put the game in the perverbial refrigerator. During the quarter, Yamazaki was the offense, running, in this quarter alone, for 88 yards on 10 carries-- a great game’s work in and of itself.
Despite being down 21-0 nothing, Lucerne Valley did not quit: Two fourth quarter touchdowns attest to that fact. However, the defense did what it needed and a 21-14 victory was recorded. For the game, Bartman was 12 for 20 for 171. The “Zaki” ran 24 times for 148 yards, but he was only warming up for the Western Christian game. The “Zaki added 48 yards on three catches. Andrew Moreno caught 6 balls for 78 yards. K-S caught two balls for 22 yards and Andrew Boggs caught one for 23.
Michael Davidoff and Tommy Grogan each intercepted passes. The secondary was also credited with six deflections, which shows that the opponents receivers were blanketed. Rotstein put all four kickoffs into the endzone. A solid offensive performance.
K-S led the team with 9½ tackles. Austen Marrs had 9, Brett Hanson-Ashkar had 5 and one of those deflections, Ross Drath 5, Malcolm Henderson 4½, one of which was a sack and Darth was credited with a deflection, Jon Friedman also had 4½ tackles, Tommy Grogan 3, with his INT and a deflection, Eric Klapholtz had 2½, Ian Shaw and Aaron Jamison 1½ each, while Shaw blocked a punt and deflected a pass and Jamison had two deflections. Drew Stern and Michael Davidoff were each credited with 1 tackle each and Davidoff had an INT.
On Friday, October 8th, the Eagles returned to play at home for the first time in the nearly a month since their opening game. The opponent was Western Christian, a team that the Eagles have handled in recent years. This year proved no exception. The Eagles dominated the game basically from the opening kick-off.
Rotstein opened the game with a kick-off into the endzone. The Eagle defense then quickly stopped the visitors. While the Eagles didn’t score on their first possession, they did on their second and third possessions. With 6:25 to go in the first quarter the Zaki ran 39 yards into the endzone and Rotstein’s kick made the score 7-0. Then, as the first quarter ended, the Zaki took the ball into the endzone from the five, and when Rotstein’s kick was good, the Eagles had a 14 point lead. That was the score at half-time and the Eagles seemed in control.
At the half, the Eagles had rushed for 177 yards including 131 from the Zaki and 35 from K-S. Bartman was 4 for 11, with two near misses on long passes that would have made his stats great also.
In the third quarter, it was more of the same. At 7:43, Rotstein hit a 40 yard field goal and, with 5:04 to go in the third, Bartman hit the Zaki with his only pass in the second half for the Zaki’s third touchdown. Upon Rotstein’s kick, the Eagles led 24-0. From that point on, all the Eagles did was try to move the clock.
For the day, Bartman was 5 for 12 for 41 yards and a TD.
For the day, the Zaki was 19 for 198 rushing, including two TDs rushing. He also caught two balls for 13 yards and another TD. For the two weeks, the Eagles shifty motorcycle ran for 346 yards, caught balls for 62 and scored 5 touchdowns-- a wonderful season for any half-back-- and it was only two games.
K-S carried the ball 11 times for 52 yards, Hanson-Ashkar 4 times for 14, Bartman 3 for 12 and Levin once. Moreno caught two for 15 yards and Hanson-Ashkar one for 13.
Henderson led the Eagles with 10 tackles. K-S was next with 6, Boggs had 5, Jamison and Hanson-Ashkar 4 each, Marrs, Shaw and Grogan 2 each, and Davidov, Stern and Rotstein one each. Davidoff and Jamison had very impressive interceptions. Jamison’s came from pure hustle and not quitting. A pass was thrown not even to the man he was guarding, but on the throw, he reacted to the ball and covered a tremendous amount of ground. The ball was tipped by two or three players before Jamison was there to pick it out of the air and give the Eagles possession. Davidoff was in perfect position, cut in front of the receiver he was guarding to make the interception. Davidoff's interception came at a time when Western was threatening to make a game of it. After intercepting, Davidoff returned the ball from near the goal line to near mid-field, on a great run up the side-line. Hanson -Ashkar was credited with causing Western’s only fumble.
As is apparent from the stats noted above, the Eagles played both games without Edgar Gamez, a three-year two way starter, and Jon Friedman, a two-way starter, both of whom it is hoped will be well enough to return for Pasadena Poly game on Saturday. The return of these two would be very much welcomed by the Eagles. However, as the results attest, their replacements performed most impressively. The Eagles were dominant in both games.
Next up, Saturday October 16 at 2 is Pasadena Poly, who comes into the game with a 2-1 record, after a three week lay-off. Poly is the third rated team in Division XIII, so a win would definitely require that the Eagles be ranked near the top of the Division. Poly was an impressive victor over Campbell Hall, which is now 5-1, and is expected to compete for the Delphic League crown. Come support the Eagles as they play at home the next two Saturdays and prepare for the League Season. Let the Eagles soar!!!<\B>
ZAKI TO THEM-YAMAZAKI RUNS FOR 304 AS EAGLES RUN OVER MINUTEMEN
October 30, 2004
EAGLES OPEN LEAGUE PLAY WITH HARD FOUGHT 27-20 ROAD VICTORY OVER MANANATHA
Saturday night, under the lights, in San Marino, the Eagles opened league play. In a game, with such hard hitting, that even the crowd will feel bruised well into the week, Eagle ran over and around the Minutemen. It was a game that every Eagle player was called on to give everything and they did. It was a game in which the Eagles came out on top 27-20.
It was the "Zaki" show-- the Kevin Yamazaki show. He carried the ball on 37 of the Eagle's 51 offensive plays. He gained, what we understand is an Eagle record, 304 yards. And the most impressive part, he was running harder and faster at the end of the game than when it started. When the Eagle's needed power, his little body pounded forward for important yards. We trust there was not a better performance by a football player in the State of California.
The pregame report was that the Maranatha Minutemen had a fine team. The report was correct. Add to this the inspiration of a homecoming with a very large crowd supporting the hosts(as well as an IN-N-OUT truck) and you know what the Eagles faced.
It was the league opener for both teams and they came to play. The hitting, from the opening kick-off until the Eagles were in a position to run out the clock, was bone bruising. Hopefully, there were no serious casualties, but we will have to wait and see. Sam Bartman came off the field in the third quarter with a deep thigh buise and was unable to either return or walk.
The Eagles took the opening kick-off and picked up where they had left off in the Whittier Christian game. They gave the ball to the Zaki behind the revamped line. The Eagles moved the ball down the field, with precision, in an opening drive that lasted six minutes. However the drive stalled at the 19, bringing on the field goal team. Rotstein's 36 yard kick was true and the Eagles took a 3-0 lead half-way through the first quarter.
Rotstein kick-off was well into the endzone and the Minutemen brought their offense on the field. As they would for the entire evening, with one or two exceptions, the Minutemen went straight to the ball with no huddle. With multiple wide-outs, they spread the field.
As it did throughout the game, on this first drive, Maranatha moved the ball against the Eagle's bend but not break defense. Eschewing a kicking game, after moving over sixty yards, the Minutemen decided to go for it on a fourth down inside the Eagle 20. The Eagles were up to the challenge. The defense held bringing down the host's runner a yard short of a first down.
The Eagles offense then again put the ball back on the ground pounding at its opponent, waiting for the Zaki to break free. However, the Eagles' second drive stalled and with less than two minutes to go in the first quarter. As a result, they punted the ball to the Minutemen.
The Minutemen were again on he march. This time they were able to quickly move the ball down the field. With less than a minute gone in the second quarter, on a pass from the six, Maranatha went into the endzone. The Minutemen lined up to go for two. They ran a sweep, but were run out of bounds by the effective Eagle defense. The Eagles trailed only by a 6-3 score.
After the kick-off, as they would all day, the Eagles went back to the Zaki, and he pleased the crowd. The big play was the Zaki's 61 yard run--on which he was caught inside the ten. However, from this point, the Eagles were unable to punch the ball into the endzone. They had to settle for a 21-yard Rotstein field goal, which tied the score at 6.
Rotstein's kickoff was again well into the endzone and three plays later the Minutemen relinquished the ball. Back to the Zaki: this time he broke free taking the ball 55 yards into the endzone. When Rotstein's kick split the uprights, the Eagles had a 13-6 lead with 2:03 to go in the half. The teams took that score into the extended half-time, homecoming break.
Rotstein's kick to open the second half, unlike his three during the first half, did not go into the endzone. The Minutemen were able to run back the shorter kick, from the 15 to the 38. They then used a series of mostly passes to a widereceiver, coming over the middle, to move the length of the field for a score. When their 2-pont conversion was good, they led 14-13. The Eagles now had to show their mettle and they did.
On the strength of a good kick-off return by Andrew Moreno and the Eagles' one pass completion of the day, Bartman to Aaron Jamison, a 39 yard strike, the Eagles responded to the Minutemen's drive, by themsleves moving the length of the field quickly. In just 2 1/2 minutes, with 6:24 remaining in the third quarter, Yamazaki went into the endzone, from 12 yards out, to give the Eagles the lead. When Rotstein's kick was good, the lead stood at 20-14.
Things looked good for the Eagles, when less than a minute later, Malcolm Henderson intercepted a Minuteman pass and the Eagles were threatening again. However, while reaching for an extra yard, the ball sqirted free from the Zaki and a Minuteman cornerback was able to scoop up the ball and take it 90 yards for a tieing touchdown.
Surprisingly, the Minutemen then lined up to kick the extra point for the lead. This was a surprise because they had not tried a kick on their prior two touchdowns. The Eagles responded. They broke through the line and blocked the kick. The game stood tied and stayed that way until well into the fourth quarter.
On the Eagles next possession, there was fear in the Eagle supporters. Bartman took one of the many many bone crunching hits of the game. He immediately limped to the sideline unable to walk, let alone play. It was later reported he had a deep thigh bruise. His Mom's threats about no breakfast were not enough to get him back in the game.
Drew Stern came in to lead the Eagles. He was totally up to the task of leading the Eagles to victory.
While the Eagles were unable to do much on their first possession under Stern's leadership, the defense responded to the situation by stopping the Minutemen. When the Eagles received the ball back, they mounted a final important drive.
This time the Zaki showed everyone that he could do it all. The Eagle offense was simple: hand the ball to the Zaki. Everyone knew what was going to happen. So what. The Eagles executed flawlessly. First the Zaki went for 41 yards, then 5, then 11, then 8, then 5 then 5. On this last run, the Zaki thought he had gone into the endzone but was only just over the five. No problem. Line it up and do it once more. On the next run, the Zaki went the final 4 yards. The line did the job, everyone did it the way it is drawn up. The interior of the revamped line, with the three experienced seniors in the middle: Sam Gilbert at center, with Sam Kussin-Shoptaw and Edgar Gomez at the guards, gave the Zaki the space he needed (although to be honest that is often not a lot of space). That touchdown, with 4:16 to go, put the Eagles in an excellent position.
It was now up to the defense. And the Eagle defense was up to the task. While the first fumble they caused was recovered by the Minutemen, a second was not. This fumble gave the ball to the Eagles with less than two minutes remaining. What do you do, you give the ball to the Zaki. He moved behind the line and gained 8+ yards. However, that was not enough for a first down that would have made running out the clock easy. It didn't matter, the seocnd and third down plays and something with the referees, allowed the Eagles to hold the ball and time to expire. A hard fought battle, with big time hitting, was over. A league victory was in hand. The Eagles came back from the San Gabriel valley with their fifth win of the year.
Stats: The Zaki 37 for 304. He had runs of 61, 55 and 41 yards. The Eagles loaded up on his back and he carried them to the victory. Actually, he followed the Eagle line to the victory. Brett Hanson-Ashkar had two carries for 8 yards, Chase Bennett had two for 6 yards. Bartman was 1 for 6 passing, although several of his passes were dropped on a cold and damp evening. Stern tried one pass that was not completed.
Defensively, it went like this: Malcolm Henderson 8 1/2 tackles and an interception, Hanson-Ashkar 6 tackles, Aaron Jamison 6 and a deflection, Tommy Grogan 5 1/2, Drew Stern 5, Andrew Boggs 3 1/2, Sam Kussin-Shoptaw 3, Austin Marrs, including one helmet removing hit, 2 1/2 tackles, Jon Friedman 2 1/2, Sam Bartman 2, Andrew Moreno and Ian Shaw one each. Eric Klappholz was credited with a deflection.
Important to mention is the step up in the Eagle special teams. Tommy Grogan took over the punting and made that made that area of the Eagle game a strength rather than a potential liability. Rotstein's kick off and field goal ability give the Eagles an important weapon. Thus, all parts of the Eagle game are now purring.
Next up for the Eagles is another Saturday night road game. This time against Downey Calvary Chapel. Let the Eagles' soar!!!
EAGLES ROLL ON AND OVER PASADENA POLY
September 16, 2005
Brentwood 24, Pasadena Poly 14
Kevin Yamazaki had 143 yards in 26 carries, returned a kick-off 85 yards for a touchdown and threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Austen Marrs for Brentwood (5-1). Ian Shaw had 11 tackles on defense for the Eagles, who led 17-7 at halftime. The loss lowered Poly to a 3-3 record.
Next Saturday is Homecoming for the Eagles, who have not played on their home turf in four weeks. They open league play against Maranatha, which was 4-1 going into this week's contest. Marantha always plays the Eagles tough.
The win boosted the Eagles to the third spot in the CIF poll for Division XIII. Mananatha, the Eagles opponent next week moved into the 10th spot, so they should not be lightly considered. Former No. 1 ranked Campbell Hall lost to Whittier Christian 20-19 in the Delphic League opener for the two teams. With the win Whittier, moved up from 5th to 4th in the Division and Campbell Hall fell to 5th. Thus, three of the Eagles last four opponents are top ranked teams in Division XIII at this point in the season. While this means the top three teams in the league will make the playoffs (not sure if there are two or three automatic bids), it means that the competition in the league will be tough and the Eagles will need to win to get a positive seeding in the playoffs. Let the Eagles soar!!!!
Eagles Run To A Showdown With Campbell Hall for Delphic League Title With Win over Calvary Chapel
November 7, 2004
ZAKI TO EM AGAIN AND AGAIN-EAGLES CLINCH A PLAYOFF SPOT
Saturday night, under the lights, in Cerritos, the Eagles bested Calvary Chapel Downey 21-17, moving their league record to 2-0, assuring a playoff birth and setting up a showdown for the league title next Friday afternoon at Brentwood.
With returning All-League quarterback Sam Bartman sidelined with a deep thigh bruise, the Eagles went made it simple. They gave the ball to Kevin Yamazaki, the "Zaki", and he did what he has done better and better each game. The Eagles handed the ball to the Zaki 23 times and he earned, with the aid of the Eagles fine line, 152 yards and two touchdowns. Brett Hanson-Ashkar added to the scoring with a 38 yard touchdown run after picking up a fumble for the Eagles other score. The Eagles had all their points one minute into the second half and then played to win, which they did. Going into the last week of the season, the Eagles finally made it to the top ten in Division XIII.
The Eagles did not start this game well. The hosts were first to score on a 21 yard field goal. However, thereafter, the Eagles Zaki to them, with the Zaki scoring twice on one-yard runs: First with 3:20 remaining in the first half and then with one minute gone in the second quarter. Calvary did score a touchdown with 4:25 to go in the second quarter to close the gap to 14-9 at the half. The Eagles kicked off to start the second half and scored with less than a minute gone in the third quarter on Hasen-Ashkar’s 38 yard fumble return. With a third straight Rotstein extra point, the Eagles had a daunting 21-9 lead. While the hosts did score another touchdown, the Eagle bend but not brake defense would allow no more than the one score. The Eagles came away with a 21-17 victory.
The win runs the Eagles record to 6-2 and their league record to 2-0. Next up is the Eagles regular season final against Campbell Hall, also 2-0 in the Delphic League, for the Delphic League title and potentially a seed in the CIF playoffs. More after we get the full report on the game.
EAGLES RETURN TO DOMINATING WAYS WITH 40-14 WIN
September 24, 2005
The Eagles returned home, returned to full strength and returned to their winning ways on Saturday September 24, 2005. On a warm and beautiful fall day, the Eagles started slowly but then dominated. The first quarter was scoreless, but the Eagles then ran off five straight touchdowns, the first four by the Zaki, who had 241 all-purpose yards in just 11 touches, and all of those yards were earned before the third quarter was even half over.
The Eagles are in a four game span where they take on an opponent from every direction. Last week they traveled north to take on perennial Division XII power Mojave (the Eagles play in Divsion XIII). The Eagles entered this match short-handed, but played the Mustangs exceedingly tough. Despite Brentwood's effort, the Eagle's came out on the short-end of the score, losing 14-0. Lessons were learned and the Eagles were clearly toughed up by this match.
The Eagles returned home this week to take on Tri-City Christian. Next week, they take on an opponent from the east, traveling to Lucerne Valley. The following week they go west, traveling to take on Malibu.
This week’s game saw the Eagle defense completely stop the visitors. Tri-City did not even threaten to score until the Eagles’ first unit was had retired. Malcolm Henderson led the defense, being credited with 7 tackles. Ian Shaw controlled his area, being credited with 4½ tackles. A total of eighteen players were credited with tackles; showing that everyone contributed to the victory. In addition to Henderson and Shaw, the following were credited with tackles: Manny Benton 5, Calvin Sloan 4, Alejandro Rodriquez 3½ , Taylor Ross 3½ , Andrew Boggs 3½, Derek Knowles 2, Eric Kappholz 2, Drew Stern 1½, Austen Ma rrs 1½, Nikky Lee 1½, Teddy Newmyer 1, Rudy De La Cruz 1, Evan Paley 1, Taylor Levin 1, Niki Pezeshki ½, and Michael Davidoff ½.
Special teams were also excellent. The Eagles did not punt. Evan Paley’s kickoffs were all high and long. One went into the endzone and one landed on the 12, but the other four were all inside the seven. Paley also powered the extra points. The Eagles have no worries about their kicking game.
On offense, the running game was dominating. Kevin Yamazaki had just 8 carries. Two of those were limited by the endzone. The "Zaki" ran from scimmage for 81 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged just a little over a 10 yard per carry average. Fullback Chase Bennett had 7 carries for 90 yards and a touchdown (just under a 13 yard average). Newcomer Emanual “Manny” Benton had the best average. He had six carries from the tailback spot for 88 yards and a touchdown, almost a 15 yard per carry average. Three other Eagles carried the ball, but were not as successful. Niki Pezeshki had his first carries ever, but was unable to gain any yards. Seeing number 50 carry the ball seemed strange.
In view of the success of the running game, the Eagles did not put the ball into the air very often. Mason Moss quarterbacked the Eagles. He was officially 2 for 5 for 34 yards. However, two balls should have been caught and he did complete another to Tony Armato, which was called back. Armato had two great catches both for over 20 yards. Teddy Newmyer had a nice catch.
The Eagles led 21-0 at half-time, 40-7 after three and the final score was 40-14. The Eagles simply out played their opponent in all aspects of the game. We hope that will continue, but if it is to continue the Eagles will need to improve, as the opponents are going to be better. Let the Eagles soar!!!!
EAGLES WIN DELPHIC LEAGUE TITLE WITH 37-20 WIN OVER CAMPBELL HALL
November 13, 2004
On Friday, the Eagle took Campbell Hall 37-20 behind the first over 100 yard rushing day and a 92 yard interception return by Brett Hanson-Ashkar. Sam Bartman returned from an injury to lead the Eagles and was 9-18 for almost 200 yards passing as the Eagles showed they have a multi-faceted offense when needed. The team next plays Chadwick on Friday Nov 19 at 7:30pm, at St. John Bosco HS in Bellflower. We are the Home team. St. John Bosco is at 13640 Bellflower Blvd, Bellflower,Ca 90706.
The game was hard fought through the first half with the Vikings scoring first just 2 1/2 minutes into the game. The Eagles came right back and were on the scoreboard on a 45 yard Rotstein fieldgoal that went to the uprights with 5:24 remaining in the first quarter.
Then came a crucial play. As Campbell Hall was driving for a score, Brent Hanson-Ashkar intercepted a pass at the Eagles 8 and returned it 92 yards to give the Eagles their first lead of the day. When Rotstein's kick was good, the Eagles led 10-7.
The Eagles held their three point lead for a whole quarter. However, with 2:21 to go in the second quarter, the Vikings punched the ball into the endzone to regain the lead at only 13-10 when their kick for the extra point failed.
The Campbell Hall lead lasted exactly one play and 16 seconds. Brett Hansen-Ashkar ran 72 yards into the endzone to give the Eagles a 16-13 lead, that did not increase when the Eagles kick was blocked.
While the Eagles epect to enjoy a lead at the break, that was not to be. Campbell Hall scored on the last play of the half. With the extra point kick, the Vikings had a 20-16 lead at halftime.
The third quarter belonged to the Eagles. Two touchdowns and a two point conversion, gave them control of the game. The Eagles first score came with 5:28 gone in the second half as Sam Bartman hit Andrew Moreno on a 28 yard pass play for the score. Hanson-Ashkar ran the ball into the endzone on the two-point try and the Eagles had a 24-20 lead.
Three minutes later, after the defense had stuffed the Vikings, Hanson-Ashkar had a 28 yard run for Eagles fourth touchdown. This time the run for the two-point conversion failed. However, the Eagles had a two-score 10 point lead: 30-20.
On the first play of the 4th quarter, the Eagles scored the final points of the game. Bartman hit Moreno on an 80 yard pass play and, when Rotstein's kick split the uprights, the Eagles led 37-20. From there, the defense did the job and the Eagles were undefeated Delphic League champs.
The stats for the day are as impressive as the Eagles performance. Bartman was 9 for 18 for 171 yards and two TDs. Kevin Yamazaki, the Zaki, was more or less stopped, running 13 times for 42 yards. But the Viking efforts to stop the Zaki opened holes for Hanson-Ashkar, who did it all. Hanson-Ashkar ran 8 times for 116 yards and two TDs. Chase Bennett also had three carries for 6 yards. For the day, the Eagles averaged 6.5 yards per rushing attempt.
Jamison caught one for 7 yards and Hanson-Ahskar 3 for 32 yards. However, the breakout was Moreno who had 5 catches for 132 yards and 2 TDs.
Defensively, 14 players were credited with tackles. The leader was Edgar Gamez, who had 10 1/2 tackles, a fumble recovery and a deflection.
September 24, 2005
EAGLES LEAVE NO QUESTIONS ABOUT HANGING CHADWICKS AS THEY WIN 41-7
November 19, 2004
Friday night under the lights, the Eagles took it to Chadwick. Kevin Zamazaki ran 22 times for 112 yards and 3 touchdowns. Sam Bartman threw only 8 times but those 8 throws resulted in 6 completions for 204 yards and 2 more touchdowns. The total result: a 41-7 drubbing of Chadwick. Next up, Friday night (11/26), the Eagles travel to take on St. Margaret's. This is an important match and it would be great if there were a large number of Eagle supporters in the stands cheering for our flock to down the Tartans.
The game did not start auspiciously. In fact, just 19 seconds into the game, the Eagles were behind 7-0. However, from that point, the Eagles built slowly, and the resulting momemtum steamrolled the official vistors. In the first quarter, on their first posession, the Eagles did punt. However, the second time they had the ball, they tied the score with Kevin Yamazaki going the final five yards for the score. This was the first of his three touchdowns in just the first half.
The Eagles also punted on their third possession, but that was their last punt of the day. They also scored two more touchdowns in the second quarter, with the Zaki taking it in both times. The Eagles led 21-7 at the half.
Clearly, as the score indicates, the Eagles dominated the first half. Chadwick's only success was the one big run that accounted for Chadwick's only touchdown. However, since the lead was just 14 points, Chadwick was still in the game at the half-time break.
Any real hopes of the official visitors for a victory, came quickly to an end as after the Eagles took the second-half kick-off, on a 62 yard pass from Bartman to Brett Hanson-Ashkar, the Eagles extended their lead to to 21 points. The score stood 28-7 with less than a minute gone in the third quarter.
Six minutes later, Bartman hit tight-end Austin Marrs for a 22 yard touchdown pass. The lead was then 35-7 and the Eagles could think about next week's game. The only scornig thereafter were two Jim Rotstein field goals: one of 23 and the other of 42. Final score 41-7.
As those of you who follow Eagle football know, the coaches revamped the team lineup after the team's last loss, five victories ago. Since Sam Kussin-Shoptaw and Edgar Gomez were installed as the team's guards, there has been no stopping the Eagles. Since such and other similar changes, the Eagles have outscored their opponents 153-80, with each game being a better performance than the last.
However, from here on out, the competition steps up big time. St. Margaret's boasts a very fine scoring machine. It was reported they have several fine backs and several quality receivers. The Eagles defense will be tested. St. Margaret's comes in 8-1-1, with the one loss a game which it was reported to the Bald Eagle was an aboration. We suspect it was in many ways similar to the Eagles performance against Pasadena Poly.
It is most interesting that the Eagles showed a potent passing game at the start of the year, went to the run in the middle of the year and now are bringing back a big play pass attack. Simply put, if an opponent consentrates its defensive efforts to stop the Zaki, then other elements of the offense are going to burst free. Whether it be Hansen-Ashkar, now maning the fullback/3back spot, or the passing game, with its multiple quality receivers (Merino, Jamison, Marrs, Davidoff et al), something will give and will lead to big points. The offense behind the senior leadership on the line (Gilbert, K-S, Gamez, Chawla and Friedman) and senior Bartman at QG, is ready to roll and has been rolling with a little more polish and finish each week.
The defense has also come into its own. While teams have scored early against it, they have not done so, during the last two weeks, after that. Quick adjustments are made and they shut down their opponent. Chadwick only had 7 first downs for the game. Penalties, which were a problem for the Eagles early in the year, are now way down. We believe the Eagles were flagged only once in the second half of the Chadwick game.
Tackles for the season are recorded as follows: Henderson leads with 66, Hanson-Ashkar is second with 53, Sam ("K-S") Kussin-Shoptaw has 51, Marrs 42, Gamez 39, Jamison 31, Friedman 29, Shaw 25, Boggs, 22, Grogan 22, Stern 16, Drath 15, Davidoff 11, Moreno 11, Lee 9, Bartman 6, Klappholz 6, Rodriquez 4, Gilbert 2, Rotstein 2, Chawla 1, Yamazaki 1. Tommy Grogan leads the team with 4 of the teams 12 interceptions. When added to the 7 fumble recoveries, the team is averaging two take-aways a game.
Of course, the kicking game remains strong as, against Chadwick, Rotstein put 4 of his six kick-offs into the endzone and made his only two field goal attempts. Grogan ably backed Rotstein when Rotstein had a shoulder problem. So the kicking game is probably the deepest part of the Eagles' game.
As we said, the defense will be tested on Friday by the Tartans. If the defense keeps up its good work, the Eagles should advance to the CIF-SS semifinals, a game which we expect the Eagle will host. Let the Eagles' soar!!!! And make sure you come support them on Friday!
Eagles Roll On And Roll Over Lucerne Valley
October 2, 2005
The Eagles went east to Victorville to test an opponent from that direction. They passed the test--dominating the game in all respects. They completely shut down Lucerne Valley, holding the opponent to just one first down in the first half. While Lucerne did score in the last minute of both halfs, both scores were really the result of turnovers. So, the defense was nearly perfect, not only stuffing the hosts, but also turning over the ball four times. Malcolm Henderson led the charge with a fumble recovery to go with an interception. Tony Armato and Michael Davidoff also had interceptions.
On offense, the Eagles did the "Zaki-to-m." This time they handed the ball to Kevin Yamazaki. This time the Zaki showed durability. He carried the ball 22 times in the first half for 147 yards and two touchdowns, with 47 coming on one of those touchdown runs. The Zaki had another 11 carries in the second half and added a third touchdown, gaining 210 yards for the game. He caught one pass for 14 additional yards.
Chase Bennett had 7 carries from the fullback spot for 39 yards. Brett Hanson-Ashkar, returned to action from a hamsting problem, had 4 carries for 13 yards and a rushing touchdown as well as a catch of a 7 yard touchdown pass. Evan Paley added a 27 yard fieldgoal to round out the scoring. 37 points total.
The Eagles led 6-0 at the end of the first quarter. It was 21-0 before the hosts scored on a turnover with 45 seconds remaining in the first half, making the half-time score: 24-6. The Eagles had the only score in the third quarter and a final touchdown on the opening play of the fourth quarter, before the hosts were able to take advantage of a fumbled snap and score in the last minute of the game. The final score was 37-14.
Next up, the 3-1 Eagles travel west on Friday night to take on Malibu.
The current CIF Division XIII poll ranks the teams as follows:
1. CAMPBELL HALL
2. ST. MARGARET'S
3. CALIFORNIA SCHOOL/DEAF(CSDR)
4. BRENTWOOD
5. WHITTIER CHRISTIAN
6. RIO HONDO PREP
7. HAMILTON
8. SAGE HILL
9. MARANATHA
10. VILLANOVA PREP
These rankings will change as the Eagles move through their schedule. They play no. 9 Maranatha, no. 5 Whittier Christian and no. 1 Campbell Hall in the tough Delphic League. The games against Whittier Christian and Campbell Hall are the last two weeks of the season and are on the road. Those games will not only test the Eagles, but prepare them for the CIF playoffs. However, they will need to win their share of such matches just to make the playoffs.
Let the Eagles soar!!!!
Eagles Silence Whittier Christian Heralds in Impressive Homecoming Victory
October 23, 2004
EAGLES CELEBRATE HOMECOMING BY SILENCING THE HERALDS
What a difference a week makes. In a week, the Eagles were transformed. A metamorphosis from pigeon to bold Eagle. All that was wrong a week ago was fixed. Last week, there was nothing good to say about Brentwood’s performance. This week, every aspect of the Eagle performance is laudable.
As to laudable, two important things should be noted before turning to the Homecoming game itself: Last week, Coach Jeff Porter won his 500th match as the Brentwood Girls’ Varsity Volleyball Coach. Not only was the event reported in the Los Angeles Times Saturday morning, but there was special pregame ceremony in which the school provided Coach Porter an Eagle on an inscribed pedestal to commemorate this great accomplishment. The win puts the girls in the drivers seat to win another league title, we are not sure but it is several in a row. Congratulations to the Coach Porter and his team.
Speaking of reporting in the Times, Senior Ryan Gordan’s second place finish in the Division V Sweepstakes race at the Mt. SAC Meet, which includes all of the top teams from Southern California, running the 2.9 mile course in 15:59, was reported. Finally, Homecoming marked the debut of the newly formed Brentwood Sports Band.
The new look Eagles appear ready to soar during the upcoming league play. While on October 16th against Pasadena Poly the Eagles simply gagged-there is simply no other way to describe their performance. It was a different team that took the field one week later. Their Homecoming performance, on October 23rd, showed great promise and prowess. It was a team prepared to beat their opponent and that preparation was turned into execution on the field.
The Whittier Christian Heralds came to Brentwood sporting a 5-1 record. The Eagles came in with a 3-2 record. The Heralds are a Division XII team. The Eagles Division XIII.
The Eagles took the opening kick off and the return seemed to evidence that the team was ready for challenge they were to face. Andrew Moreno took the opening kick-off up he middle 40 yards to give the Eagles great field position. This alone was almost more offense than the Eagles show the week before.
The offense then came out with a very revamped lineup. While Sam Bartman still lined up behind Sam Gilbert at center, and Kevin Yamazaki was the deep back, Everywhere else the look was different. At the guards were Sam Kussin-Shoptaw and Edgar Gamez, two three year varsity players. At the tackles it was Jon Freedman, Austin Mars, Neal Chawla and Chris Vamos. More size more experience in the middle. And behind this revamped line, the plan was obviously to pound it at the opponent. New to the backfield was Chase Bennett who was immediately given the ball. On the opening drive Bennett showed great burst in the new look Eagle offense. The revamped line opened holes and Bennett and Kevin Yamazaki ran through them. However, the drive stalled when a Barman pass was picked off near the goal line. Still the Eagles had controlled the ball for over 4 minutes in their opening drive.
When Whittier’s offense came on the field, the Eagle defense also sported a new look. This change was as a result of a double dictate. The first was the Eagles’ performance last week. The second was the Heralds’ offense. Whittier runs the old double-wing offense. It puts all 11 players in a very small space and seeks to use power to push an opponent out of the proverbial box. The Eagles responded by putting 9 men in that box, a strategy that worked to perfection. The Heralds were not able to mount a drive and with five minutes to go in first quarter the Eagles had the ball back. And back to that new ground game they went. They moved the ball, but there was no big play.
The drive stall and out and out came Jim Rotstein for a punt. Rotstein was roughed and the drive continued. The quarter ended with the neither team putting points on the board, but the Eagles were knocking. With just a half-minute gone in the second quarter, the Eagles took the lead. Yamzaki ran the ball into the end zone from the five and Rotstein’s kick gave the Eagles a 7-0 lead.
Rotstein’s kick-off was a little shorter than his average: it was taken at the five. However the coverage was excellent and the Heralds were downed on the 20. They moved the ball a little but did not threaten. The Eagles then mounted a drive that stalled. Rotstein came on for a 42 yard field goal attempt. It feel short.
The Eagles were able to mount one last drive in the first half, but a fumble with less than a minute to go, ended that attempt to put points on the board. Whittier then ran out the clock and the Eagles went into the lockerroom at the half with a 7-0 lead. It could have been more, but it was a totally solid first half performance. The two turnovers the only negatives about an excellently played half.
The third quarter showed the Eagle dominance. Three touchdowns during the period effectively put away the opponent. The first came after the defense had squelched the Heralds again and the Eagle offense came on the field with the ball at mid-field. Bartman handed the ball to Yamazaki who burst through the line and went a full 50 yards for the Eagles’ second touchdown. Tommy Grogan came on to make the kick and it was perfect. His first for the varsity. With 7:33 to go in the third quarter, the Eagles had a 14-0 lead.
The Heralds, now feeling some pressure, as they had been unable to move ball on the ground against the Eagles, earning only three first downs in the entire first half, decided to try the air. Unfortunately for visitors, the Eagle air defenses proved even more daunting than their ground defense. Sam Bartman, looking like Jim Edmonds, stopped Whittier’s attempt at a long pass, zoned in on it, took it in full stride and ran by all the Herald’s, taking the ball 60 yards for another Eagle touchdown. When Grogan’s kick was good, the Eagles had extended their lead to 21-0 These 14 points, in a minute and a half, clearly dented the opponents’ hope to come away with a victory.
Any hopes that Whittier had to quench the joy of the large homecoming crowd was eliminated when in the last minute of the third quarter, Yamazaki took a Herald punt, broke to the outside behind two fine blocks, and went the 40 yards to the endzone untouched, giving the Eagles a 27-0 lead. From that point on the Eagles just played it safe, waiting for the clock to run out, and the victory to become official. In this period, the Heralds were able to score two touchdowns and two two-point conversions, but the Eagles were able to cover two on-side kicks so, during the fourth quarter, the outcome was never in doubt. The final score was 27-16.
Yamazaki led the Eagles with his third hundred plus yard rushing game in four weeks, running for 109 yards on 17 carries from scrimmage and providing 158 all-purpose yards. Bennett provided an important 36 yards from the fullback spot on 9 carries in the first half. Brett Hanson-Ashkar had three first half carries for 16 yards in the first half. Bartman had one run for 3 and K-S one for 5 from the fullback spot in the second half. Andrew Boggs caught the only completed pass of the day for the Eagles for 21 yards. Bartman was 1 for 5 for the game. It doesn’t seem statistically to be a lot of offense, but it was plenty --27 points is plenty. For the game, the Eagles averaged just barely under 5 yards per carry (34 for 168)--that is a stat we will take anytime. The game was really shortened by the fact that there were so few passes.
Defensively, the Eagles were there. Hanson-Ashkar was all over the field, repeatedly stopping the Herald runners. Hanson-Ashkar was credited with 9 ½tackles. Gamez was credited with 8½ with one for a loss and another a big important sack. Malcolm Henderson was next with 8 including two for losses. Marrs and Aaron Jamison were both credited with 6, Marrs also recovered a fumble and Jamison had a deflection. K-S was credited with 5 ½ including one for a loss. Bartman had 4, Ian Shaw 3½, Friedman 1½, Andrew Moreno, Drew Stern, Ross Drath, Gilbert and Boggs were credited with 1 each. And Neal Chawla and Alejandro Rodriguez a ½ each.
The Eagles open league play next Saturday night with a game to be held at San Marino high school against the Maranatha Minutemen, who will come into the game with a 3-4 record.
EAGLES GLOW UNDER THE LIGHTS BEATING MALIBU 47-0
October 9, 2005
The Eagles traveled to Malibu for a game under the lights and were virtually perfect. The final score of 47-0 is indicative of the play of the Eagles. The Eagles ran the ball 43 for 342 yards and 5 touchdowns. The Eagles completed 4 of 7 pases for 64 yards and 2 more touchdowns. The Defense held the hosts to 7 first downs and no points. The Eagles led 20-0 after one quarter, 27-0 at the half, and 40-0 at the end of three quarters.
Kevin Yamazaki carried the ball 16 times for 247 yards. He had 210 of those at the half. The Zaki averaged 15.4 yards per touch, and had 11 carries for more than 10 yards. Emanuel Benton had 7 carries for 54 yards and a td. Brett Hanson-Ashkar had 7 carries for 27 yards and td. Chase Bennett had 7 carries for 21 yards and a td. Austen Marrs had three catchs for 29 yards and two tds. Tony Armato had one catch for 35 yards. Mason Moss quarterbacked the team and is looking more and more comfortable in that roll.
Malcolm Henderson was the leader on defense with 6 tackles. But as the shutout proclaims the defense did not let the hosts do anything. Twenty different Eagles were credited with tackles. The defense caused three turnovers Hanson-Ashkar and Tyler Levin each had interceptions and Andrew Boggs caused a fumble which was recovered by Benton.
It is not expected that the Eagles will have their way with the upcoming opponents. This week they travel to Pasadena Poly for a 2:00 pm Saturday game. Poly is a team that has give the Eagles fits over the last few years. The Eagles won 7-3 on a long touchdown pass with less than 2 mintues to go when they last traveled to Poly. The following weekend is homecoming. Let the Eagles soar!!!!
EAGLES COME UP A YARD SHORT-- BUT ARE LEFT WITH A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES
November 26, 2004
EAGLES FALL TO ST. MARGARETS 28-21
The 2004 Brentwood Eagle football team left the field Friday night having given it their all. The team, the coaches, the fans and the cheerleaders were spent. The Eagles all had done themselves proud. There was big disapointment. There was sadness, but there was no question that everyone had given all they could.
In a hard fought, hard hitting battle that could have gone either way, the Eagles came up one yard short. The Zaki, Kevin Yamazaki, couldn't suirm and drive for last yard. The line couldn't make a hole big enough to reach the endzone. The seniors had played their last play for Brentwood.
St. Margaret's opened the scoring on an 18 yard pass play. However, the kick failed. While this was the score at the end of the first quarter, the Eagles scored with less than a minute gone in the second quarter on a 31 yard run by the Zaki. When Rotstein's kick split the uprights, the Eagles held a 7-6 lead that stood up until under minutes to go in the half.
Then, in less than 2 minutes, it seemed that the Eagle season went flying out the window. The Tartans scored twice and kicked two extra points. The first score came on the 30 yard run; the second on a 15 yard pass after a fumble turned the ball over to the Tartans. At the half, the Eagles trailed 20-7. Unless the Eagles were first to score in the second half, it did not look good for them.
Well, the Eagles came out at the half and quickly caused two fumbles and turned them into 14 points. The first came on a one yard Zaki run and the second on a 7 yard Zaki run. Rotstein's two kicks were true and the Eagles held a 21-20 lead.
The Eagles held the lead until there were just 5 minutes to go in the game. At that time, St. Margaret's went into the endzone on a 9 yard run and then lined up for the extra point. It was a fake and the pass from the holder connected to give the Tartans a 7 point lead: 28-21.
The Eagles took the kick-off and moved down the field methodically.
They soon found themselves in the red zone with the game on the line.
Seven times in the last three minutes of the game, the Eagles lined up inside the Tartans 10 and they were unable to get the ball in the endzone. Three plays they were inside the two. They gave to the Zaki, they tried a Bartman pass and they tried a trick play, but they did not succeed in crossing the goal line plane.
The first four attempts brought the ball inside the one, but no touchdown and the ball went over to St. Margaret's.
The Tartans had the ball with a minute and half to go. But the Eagles did not quit. They kept coming. And to the shock of the host's crowd, Aaron Jamison was able to strip St. Margaret's ball carrier.
The Eagles had new life. They had the ball at the 7 with time for 3 or 4 shots to the endzone. As it turned out, they would have three more attempts to break that plane, but it was not to be.
In some ways, it was reminiscent of Eagles last plays of the 2001 season. The Eagles never quit, they gave it their all down to the last play.
Was this the most talented Eagle team, clearly not. But it was a special group of kids that came together and was more than the sum of its available parts. It was a team which realized that there were holes to fill and sacrificed to fill those holes. It was a team that ran off five straight victories, despite injuries to almost every key player. They just kept coming.
In music there is Abraham, Martin and John, in Brentwood football this year, there were the Sams (Bartman, Gilbert and K-S), Edgar (Gamez) and John (Friedman). There was Neal (Chawla), Andrew (Moreno) and Jimmy (Rotstein). Thank you seniors for so much.
Last year, when the Three Musketeers graduated, the question was where would the linemen necessary to replace them, and necessary to a successful football team, come from. There were no apparent answers. Well it turned out it came from the a new addition, Friedman, from two fullbacks, Gamez and K-S and from Chawla's growth and development, not to mention the fine work of and development of several underclassmen. What was expected to be a weakness was a strength. Over the last six weeks of the season, the team ran superbly. The Zaki, although we have yet to see final stats, had about 1400 yards in an 11 game season. He was held under 100 yards just once in the last six games and that game Hansen-Ashkar had well more than 100 yards. He had 7 games over 100 yards.
Agasint St. Margaret's, The Zaki ran the ball 40 times for the Eagles for three touchdowns and 230 yards. The Eagles threw the ball only 5 imes but the five were good for 51 yards, including a key 43 yard pass to Moreno, which was crucial in one of the Eagle scoring drives. Bret Hanson-Ashkar rused four times for 46 yards.
It was a bitterly disappointing loss, but it was a highly successful season. This was not a team that came into the seaons with high expectations, but it performed exceedingly well. It brought home a league championship. It was a team that everyone knew had to stay healthy to even compete and it did. The kids just kept coming. The St. Margaret's game was just another example of that. The Eagles left the field exhausted, having given their all, but heads high despite a gut renching defeat. The Eagles made us proud.
So the questions turn to next year. There were seven freshman on the final game roster. There were 8 sophomores on the final game roster. The key stats, except passing and kicking, were all earned by juniors. We are sure they will be able to regroup and continue Brentwood's tradition of winning ways. The 2004 Eagles' soared and we expect nothing less from the 2005 flock.
EAGLES STEAMROLL OVER AMINO IN 43-6 VICTORY IN 2005 OPENER
September 9, 2005
The Eagles opened the 2005 season at home against Amino. The Eagles dominated all aspects of this match. They scored first last and often. They could have had a couple more touchdowns, but they were not necessary. Every aspect of the Eagles' game performed well. The final score was indicative of the Eagles' domination: 43-6 in the Eagles' favor.
Kevin Yamazaki not only picked up from where he left off last year but picked it up one notch. Kevin was only given 5 touches in the game. He was handed the ball just three times. He ran for 19, 22 and 39 yards, with the 22 yard ran being for a touchdown. He returned a kickoff 85 yards for another touchdown and returned a punt for 36 yards. His over 40 yard per touch average, puts Reggie Bush to shame. The "Zaki" as we call him, is the diamond around which the offense is built.
The quarterback spot was split evenly by Senior Drew Stern and Sophomore Mason Moss. With the game in hand, these quarterbacks did not get much opportunity to show their stuff. Stern threw five passes completed 2 and 2 were dropped. Moss completed all three of his throws for 61 yards. Both ran the offense with confidence and put points on the board.
At the running back spot, six Eagles were credited with carries. Sophomore Ian Shaw had 8 carries for 33 yards and a TD. Junior Teddy Newmyer had 6 for 13 yards. Senior Bret Hanson-Ashkar had 3 carries for 14 yards. Derek Knowles and Moss were credited with one carry each. Moss' carry was a sneak for a touchdown.
On the receiving end, Senior Austen Marrs caught three balls for 55 yards. Senior Anthony Armato had one spectacular catch for 21 and Hanson-Ashkar caught one for 8 yards and a TD.
The Eagles had no turnovers. Taylor Levin did cause the vistors to fumble.
The defense was solid in all respects. Although it did give up a fair amount of yardage, it was the usual Brentwood bend but not break. Holding an opponent to six points is always impressive. Even more so, when you are giving the ball back with scores so often.
Senior Malcolm Henderson led the team with 7 credited tackles. Derek Knowles had 5 tackles and a deflection. Ian Shaw 4 1/2 tackles. Austen Marrs, Junior Nicky Pexeshki, Sophomore Andrew Boggs, Junior Michael Davidov, and Sophomore Eric Klapholz were credited with 3 tackles each. Senior Nick Lee and Teddy Newmyer had 2 tackles and a deflection each; Senior Blake Levin and Junior Preston Maddock 2 tackles each; Junior Taylor Ross 1 1/2 tackles; Sophomore Taylor Levin had 1 1/2 tackles as well as the fumble recovery and a deflection. Junior Jose Valladolidi and Brett Hanson-Askhar 1 tackle each. Anthony Armato and Junior Evan Paley had one deflection each. Junior Alejandro Rodriguez and Drew Stern 1/2 tackle each. Twenty different players contributed stops to the Eagle cause. This bodes well, as it indicates the Eagles are playing team defense.
Special teams seemed further along than is normal for the opening game. Junior Evan Paley handled the kicking. His kickoff were inside the 10 and it is expected he will be putting them into the endzone by midseason. Paley hit 5 of 6 extra points, just missing the sixth. The Eagles did not punt, so we cannot report on taht aspect of their game.
The Eagles scored twice in the first quarter and led 14-0 at its end. They scored twice in the second quarter and led 28-6 at the half. They scored once in the third quarter, leading 35-6 at its end. In the final quarter they scored twice, first a touchdown and then a safety as Eric Klapholtz tackled the punter in the endzone to complete the Eagles scoring.
On Friday the Eagles travel to Mojave, which the coaches reported will be a much much tougher opponent. If the Eagles can prevail, they will be truly deserving of the Second in the Division XIII ranking they received in the CIF's preseason poll. Let the Eagles soar!!!
