It’s a cold, rainy Monday in Murrieta California. The grey skies and cold temperatures seem a fitting match for the mood of Vista Murrieta Football fans disappointed over the decision by CIF Commissioners to overlook the Broncos Football team during Sunday’s State Bowl Selections. And while I’m equally mystified over the CIF decision to slight the Broncos I’m still excited over the weekend’s events that saw Vista Murrieta crowned as Inland Division Champions.
My family and I moved to Murrieta just three years ago after having spent our entire lives in the Los Angeles area and my oldest son graduated from Vista Murrieta this past Spring. My job allows me to work from home, which is a blessing as far as commuting is concerned, and a bane with regards to socializing. We have friends my wife and I have made in the local AYSO soccer league where my younger son plays but unfortunately we have few social interactions that don’t involve the “other” game of futbol. So what a pleasure it was to sit in the stands this season and follow the Broncos on their championship journey. Along the way it was my pleasure to meet the most passionate, knowledgeable, and friendly group of high school football fans I’ve ever encountered in my five years of covering high school sports. The Championship Game against Corona Centennial was the most exciting High School Football game I’ve ever seen and as Nick Stevens crossed the goal line with the winning touchdown my family celebrated with each other, and All the Vista Murrieta fans seated around us. It was a party in stands and all Bronco fans were invited. Thank you to everyone we met in the stands during this season, I’ll never forget the experience.
I wanted to extend a sincere thank you to Head Football Coach Coley Candaele and all his hard working staff as well as each and every member of the Broncos football team. As a former Los Angeles Rams and long-suffering UCLA Bruins fan, this was the first time I’ve had the pleasure of cheering a successful football team since Bill Clinton was President! I can’t let a gift like that go un-returned so this Vista Murrieta Football 2011-12 Video is a little video tribute to the Vista Murrieta Broncos for a remarkable season. Included are several video clips from what must be the best High School band in the nation.
