LB unified made sure the other schools got what they wanted.Well congratulations high school football officially sucks in Long Beach.

kids that live next to Poly can't go there anymore...or if they do they have to sit out a year...so weird...i wonder who paid off the LBUSD to make these new rules...

When was LBP a top team ??? For the last 10 years how were three...

Hmm let’s see. LBP won the very first CA championship in 1919. And they last won the PAC 5 title in 2015 (correct me if I’m wrong Cali guys). Out of the 15,000 +- schools in the US Poly has sent the most alum to the NFL. So this is pretty big news.

I think STA over took them but they were the #1 prep team when I came to NFL talent for decades.

They last won the PAC 5 in 2012. I remember this well as I was there at "The Vet" where Poly allegedly took down SJB 13-10. I say "allegedly" because it was so foggy that night that I'm only partly sure that a football game took place.

Since then the PAC 5/D1 has been swept by the "big 3":

2013 - SJB (over MD)
2014 - Cen10 (over SJB)
2015 - Cen10 (over SJB)
2016 - SJB (over MD)
2017 - MD (over SJB)
2018 - MD (over SJB)

Poly played SJB in the 2014 PAC 5 semi finals. That was really the beginning of the end for them. They haven't been the same since.

2013, 2016,201? Fill in the sequence to determine this years champ.

Fork Union is a boarding school where kids with bad grades go to “high school” for a fifth year. Most of their NFL alum only attended that school for one year.

Actually, it has generally sucked in Long Beach for the last 20+ years.  Only one school had kept it afloat.

I agree with you for the most part, but Lakewood had some decent teams around 10 years ago and they are part of the LBUSD.

Until Negro came in and all of the good players left Lakewood to go to SJB.

But their school did sign a new contract with Nike and they invested in a new stadium. They now have stadium lights for the first time ever.

Poly plays their varsity home games at Veteran's Stadium at Long Beach City College. As far as I'm aware, that isn't changing.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Poly, I just don't see them returning to prominence (at least compared to the Poly of old) any time in the immediate future.

The district doesn’t want them to be great anymore...it’s a shame...but Bosco, Narbonne, MD and a few other programs are attracting those kids now
