Glendale High School Explosion
Tonight’s ‘Battle for the Bell’
When Hoover and Glendale highs get together for their annual football game, one can
usually throw the records out and expect the unexpected. Fans will get treated to an array of
spectacular performances, trick plays, and heroic efforts. After all, the City Championship and
the chance to keep the Victory Bell, is on the line. Here is a preview of what to expect tonight
starting at 7 p.m. at Moyse Field.
If Jung is out, Ruiz will
have to carry the offense
Hoover has nice 1-2 punch
with Nersisyan, Parawan
In the two previous meetings against
Hoover, senior Daniel Jung has run wild. As
a sophomore he scored on a 70-yard fumble
recovery and a 59-yard interception return,
and then ran for a third touchdown on offense. Last year he scored two touchdowns
and rushed for 173 yards.
Now, word comes that Jung may not
play in tonight’s game against Hoover because of a knee injury suffered last Friday
against Burroughs. At best, his playing time
will be dramatically curtailed. That puts
the pressure squarely on the shoulders of
senior Luis Ruiz. Ruiz has been a punishing runner this season and he is no stranger
to Hoover’s end zone, having scored two
touchdowns last season against the Tornadoes. GHS’s offense also features lightning
quick receiver Ricky Loudermill. On defense, Albert Markosian is a relentless pass
rusher and could be a nightmare match up.
GHS picked up a week one win over
San Gabriel, 35-0, and then surprised Arcadia, 28-14. The win spoiled Arcadia’s
Homecoming night and it was the first time
GHS had beaten the Apaches since 1991.
Against Arcadia, Jung and Ruiz combined
for 222 yards rushing and the Nitros’ defense smothered Arcadia. The 21-20 overtime loss to Pasadena also showcased the
Nitros’ ability to run the football. Ruiz carried the ball 34 times (164 yards) and Jung
had 22 carries (133 yards.)
For Glendale to win...
A key for the Nitros is the play of the
offensive line. If they can create holes for
Ruiz and Jung, it could be a long night for
Hoover. The Nitros will run and run and run
the ball. If they are limited by the Hoover
defense, GHS’s passing attack with Loudermill and Mateo Morris will be called into
action. GHS has more weapons than Hoover
and a wealth of experience on the field with
35 seniors on the team.
Hoover is paced by running backs Davit Nersisyan and Vaughn Parawan. The
duo has been solid all season when healthy.
Both players play on defense too, as do
many of the Tornadoes. On defense, end
Josh Lee, nose guard Geraldy Martinez and
defensive tackle Jessie Martinez team up to
give Hoover a strong front line.
Hoover has lost eight straight games
coming into tonight’s contest. Their lone
win came in their second game of the season
against Sotomayor from L.A. In that 26-12
triumph against the Wolves, Nersisyan was
impressive, rushing for 136 yards. Now
nine weeks removed from victory, and the
Tornadoes are hungry and are looking forward to meeting the favored Dynamiters.
In their loss to Arcadia, Hoover scored
first and demonstrated that they could move
the ball. Injuries have been the biggest obstacle for Hoover. They have yet to play
a game with the team at full strength and
sometimes suit up fewer than 20 players.
And outside of their one win, Hoover has
not scored more than seven points in a game
this season, and is averaging a paltry three
points per contest against league competition. That won’t get it done against GHS.
For Hoover to win...
They must control the game clock and
gain plenty of first downs. That will keep
Glendale’s potent offense parked on the
sideline.
If GHS’s Daniel Jung does not play tonight that will help the Tornadoes’ cause but
they will still have to deal with Nitro back
Luis Ruiz, and he is a load.
Nersisyan and Parawan, among others,
must deliver on both sides of the ball, but
especially on offense where the Tornadoes
often sputter.
Hoover needs to move the chains, finish drives, and eliminate dumb mistakes.
