Found this by mistake. Am 66, lived in Mendota until 1974, what a very inspiring story. Mendota always been a poor city, I give these kids blessing as it looks like Mendota has grown to a city of HEART. Never hold your dreams, I worked in the feilds, and worked my way out, anyone CAN...
As I was always told playing football growing up that represents this team well is "it does not matter how much you got, how big you are, or how skilled you are. Its always how big you play, how much of yourself you will give and, how much heart you got when it comes times to give it"
For those questioning on why the sierra coach said, " I hope you take pride in that, that was classless." What I heard from a valid source, but don't quote me I don't know for certain, as Mendota was blowing sierra out the coach kept his starters in the whole game, and just ran up the score. I am from the valley on California, Mendota is about an Hour away from where I live in Sanger, watch our football highlights from d-ham productions, won't disappoint at all, this years 2016 valley champs, and we are very blue collar people, just like Mendota, except they have it harder than we do a little bit, same demographics, and hated by opposing teams because we are a bunch of different races who work 10 times harder and fight till the fourth quarter.
FUCK JAKE PAUL Mendota is definitely not 70% white man haha I’m from firebaugh aye it’s full of mexicans and Salvadorans trust me man and what it ain’t bad that it’s predominantly Mexican in my eyes that’s cool I take pride in my heritage. What school do you come from?
This one here is lost. I grew up in mendota. Was 2 years after this class graduated. It’s 98% Latino being Mexican salvidorian and the other 2% is punjab or white
He’s at a community college but idk that’s about it. If you want to keep up with someone they use to play (there rival, firebaugh high school) josh Allen on the bills played this team this exact year
He's an salesman at a car dealership now and goes to work out for most of the day at a gym in mendota but idk if he gets paid at the gym,I see him helping people with work outs
Picking melons are summer job. Many family suffer for very little pay on job that their daughter and son go help out for cloths. I went working at the field before I was 18. Maybe 15 so I can learn how it is to earn money. I ended up working for TomaTek and napa in mendota including food center that is close to mendota and in mendota. Joe Gamez was my pe teacher. Yea beautiful highschool beautiful field. This highschool helped many of the student of same year i graduated to be somebody. One of them is a processional guitar player. Some went to military and came out. That guitar player is also a teacher for music education in madera high school. I'm a It for the government program. :D
We worked when we had the chance, don’t even think everyone worked because it ain’t true lol but most of us worked at the age of 12-13 some 11 it’s crazy ... but it helped us showed us money is valuable when you work for it . It’s literally the same as a white kid working at a store but they have options to quit or not . Some in mendota actually would drop out to help their family and it’s horrible to see luckily most of us graduate and strive for better
+Eduardo Davila I live 15 minutes away from mendota I have friends and family that live there and I can confirm that yes he did get arrested at school actually too lol and he eventually got the charges dropped he is coaching this season now
Eduardo Davila I imagine that he will within these next 2 years or so, he goes to Mt San Antonio College or Mt Sac in southern california its a junior college so he could transfer to a bigger d1 school, he did get a scholorship to utah but im not sure why he did not enroll maybe it was a financial issue or by choice but ill keep you updated one of my dads very good friends coaches for mendota and my dad is actually from mendota and i live just 15 minutes away from there
I mean if he wants to get recruited he must send film to the coaches of the universities he is interested in! These college coaches don't know the good players from Mendota or from any small community you have to send your part. Hopefully he got recruited. I would like to see a Mexican rb someday in the nfl representing us.

They're uniforms are sick tho
What’s the song playing at like the 23 minute mark?
Did Josh Allen played at this game?
Does any one Know the exact style of cowboy hat the coach is wearing and the hat band on it?????
Original and Not yours to Jock
It is a kool breeze solar men cowboy hat
This is the most Mexican town in America isn’t it?
daisyhinojosa23 Nope about 70% are white and 5% punjabi and 2%other and and 23% Hispanic just letting u know
daisyhinojosa23 btw some of them aren't mexicans u dumbfuck
FUCK JAKE PAUL Mendota is definitely not 70% white man haha I’m from firebaugh aye it’s full of mexicans and Salvadorans trust me man and what it ain’t bad that it’s predominantly Mexican in my eyes that’s cool I take pride in my heritage. What school do you come from?
This one here is lost. I grew up in mendota. Was 2 years after this class graduated. It’s 98% Latino being Mexican salvidorian and the other 2% is punjab or white
Edgar all beast
Does anyone know if Edgar went on to play at the next level?
He’s at a community college but idk that’s about it. If you want to keep up with someone they use to play (there rival, firebaugh high school) josh Allen on the bills played this team this exact year
He's an salesman at a car dealership now and goes to work out for most of the day at a gym in mendota but idk if he gets paid at the gym,I see him helping people with work outs
whats the name of the song in 19:12
Believe it's "to build a home" by cinematic orchestra with Patrick Watson
+Jonathan Fallin actually I named the song that's played during the final game
Do they go to high school, or just work all day?
They only work in the summer
Picking melons are summer job. Many family suffer for very little pay on job that their daughter and son go help out for cloths. I went working at the field before I was 18. Maybe 15 so I can learn how it is to earn money. I ended up working for TomaTek and napa in mendota including food center that is close to mendota and in mendota. Joe Gamez was my pe teacher. Yea beautiful highschool beautiful field. This highschool helped many of the student of same year i graduated to be somebody. One of them is a processional guitar player. Some went to military and came out. That guitar player is also a teacher for music education in madera high school. I'm a It for the government program. :D
whats the guys name that works in Madera
Holyfriedeggs they go to high school! U must be fucking stupid if u do not see them in the video in their school!
We worked when we had the chance, don’t even think everyone worked because it ain’t true lol but most of us worked at the age of 12-13 some 11 it’s crazy ... but it helped us showed us money is valuable when you work for it .

Hi
This coach had legal trouble and didn't coach last year. Who is he to tell the kids about life c'mon man
HOw do you know
Eduardo Davila it was in the paper and the parents told me insurance fraud lol
+Eduardo Davila I live 15 minutes away from mendota I have friends and family that live there and I can confirm that yes he did get arrested at school actually too lol and he eventually got the charges dropped he is coaching this season now
+Im Spooderman did edgar segura go to a d1 college
Eduardo Davila I imagine that he will within these next 2 years or so, he goes to Mt San Antonio College or Mt Sac in southern california its a junior college so he could transfer to a bigger d1 school, he did get a scholorship to utah but im not sure why he did not enroll maybe it was a financial issue or by choice but ill keep you updated one of my dads very good friends coaches for mendota and my dad is actually from mendota and i live just 15 minutes away from there
Josh Allen on 18:16 😉
I mean if he wants to get recruited he must send film to the coaches of the universities he is interested in! These college coaches don't know the good players from Mendota or from any small community you have to send your part. Hopefully he got recruited. I would like to see a Mexican rb someday in the nfl representing us.
of course he did all that . .. they are not ignorant dude , he just coming out of nowhere .
dis Bois act tough
It hot so
The first time I worked on the fields and I thought do I really wanna do this but yet wanna get 3 Ds that’s why yo dumbass didn’t go to Utah state
Like elementary school says MES we the best and u to all Aztecs schools are the best with out u or them I will not be her with u
Is this the coach that got arrested for insurance fraud and then got fired because of it? Great!
this is why we need a wall
fuck you
