HSFB Game of The Century: (#1)De La Salle vs (#2)Long Beach Poly (2001)

Game of The Century
(#2) Poly looks to put an end to the nations longest winning streak as they take on the (#1) De La Salle Spartans in a Fox Sports West broadcast.
I claim no ownership of this material, and do not profit from it in any way. This video is intended for historical and educational viewing purposes.

[@FTBLDepot]

Backstory: The reason why this game is called the “Game of The Century” is because we had entered the 2000’s and this was the first time EVER in history that the #1 and #2 nationally ranked HS teams meet in a matchup. De La Salle and Long Beach Poly were perennial powers. This was basically a national championship game. Also, De La Salle was on a decades long win streak, Poly was dominating SoCal, in which they (Poly) had a team that could potentially end De La Salle’s win streak.

[@ErichVonCartmann]

@@Bruss813 , So many great athletes in this game, and many did make it to the NFL. - Maurice Jones-Drew (DLS) had great career at UCLA, as well in the NFL. Was a Pro-Bowler for multiple years. - Derek Landri (DLS) - had a great career at Notre Dame and played in the NFL for about a decade - Matt Gutierrez (DLS) - played at Michigan for a bit, but then I remember Chad Henne beating him out for the starting job. He then transferred out of Michigan. He eventually made it to the NFL, but was basically a practice squad player for his entire NFL Career. - Darnel Bing - had a great career at USC, made it to the NFL and played like 5 years but never starting - Marcedes Lewis (LBP) - had a long NFL career, and as of 2023, he is still playing! - Winston Justice (LBP) - had a great career at USC and I believe was an NFL 1st Rounder. Played a decade in the NFL - Hershel Dennis (LBP), who was a starter at USC the same time Reggie Bush and Lendale White was there. Dennis was injury prone, so we never got to see much of him. He never made it to the NFL

This game was so hyped back in the day. I was still in H.S. and I couldn't wait to watch this. Poly was the team with all the talent, but De La Salle was just the better and more well coached team. We also were introduced to future NFL star Maurice Jones-Drew, who absolutely was the best player on the field that night. My man #13 for LBP dropped 3 TD passes SMH. Otherwise Poly might have pulled out the victory. Also shot out Mercedes Lewis, who went on to a 17 year pro career that's lasted up until this past season.

I was fortunate enough to live by de la salle and got to play them every year in high school. I graduated the year before this game so it was during their ridiculous win streak

[@frogman1941]

I played against them in the 90s. We all knew they were the winning team, but they basically recruited their players and played public schools that didnt get to do that. I actually had a school friend in middle school that ended up going to play for de la salle instead of our team, liberty union. They were a stacked team and shouldnt have been in the BVAL. Most of those wins at least in the 1990s were against public schools that had local talent only, not targeted talent that de la salle had as a private school with a good program. They should have been kicked out of the BVAL way back in the 90s.

I’m from socal and this was the first of many great high school football games I was fortunate enough to attend. I thought Poly would smash them when I seen both teams pregame, because there size was unreal and I’m socal bias lol. When jones broke free and dropped that pass I told my dad that was easy that will be all day. My dad said u don’t know this coach I promise you that will not happen again, and it didn’t lol. Poly was so talented, desean Jackson was on the bench this game, this poly team was the biggest high school football team I ever seen, they had 4-5 guys that were 6’5 or taller, they had the #1 TE,RB and safety in the nation, and the whole starting defense pretty much went D1, but they were ultimately no match for the greatest high school football coach of all time and the greatest high school football player I have ever seen in Maurice Drew. I’m positive Maurice Drew woulda been the number 1 overall player that year, if it wasn’t for his size he was listed at 5’7 but he wasn’t even that tall he looks way bigger on video then he did in real life. Poly was far more talented but Raul lara first year and he proved to be a tragically bad coach who ran the program into the ground. Poly was raw talent and was a militant polished machine literally unbeatable back then.

[@FTBLDepot]

I’m from the southeast, but I had SoCal bias too. Kids from SoCal to me seemed be exceptionally skilled and technically sound, and that continues today. The first ever HS game I got to watch on the west coast was a playoff game between Loyola and Huntington Beach Edison, and A.J. Martinez and Marcus McCutcheon were locking WR’s up!!

[@FreshWest555]

@@FTBLDepot that’s also how I felt about socal until I moved to NorCal for 3 years and as an adult I was able to appreciate there style of play more. There never as big as socal teams but there so technically sound it’s crazy. Most the pop Warner teams over there run the same offense as the high school teams, so kids play in that system from like 10-18 so when they come to high school they just plug right in de la salle and Folsom best examples of that. Also socal kids are flash and kinda maintenance , NorCal kids are tough af almost like countryish just get the job done.

I have been trying to find Hart vs Mission Viejo 2003 for a while now.. Los Alamitos vs Hart is online and there are highlights of the Westlake game. I just saw 2005 Hart vs Canyon CIF Championship was uploaded, which capped a 3 game winning streak by Canyon over Hart, those 3 wins were by a combined 11 points. Hart lost the league championship in 05 by fumbling inside the 5 yard line down 14-16. and they lost the CIF final game to Canyon 13-21, they drove 99 yards from their own 1 to the Canyon 1 and lost a first down measurement by an inch...

I remember when tiny Bellevue of Washington state took down de la Salle and ended the 151 streak by running the veer offense their kids were taught the veer from 6th grade on. It is very difficult to defend especially if you have not seen it and have kids that can execute it with perfection. Bellevue also took down POLY , KATTY OF TEXAS AND OAKS CHRISTIAN no easy task. love high school football.

[@shanes.1724]

Bellevue had a huge scandal in 2016

[@Rockyinlp]

Bellevue was a multiple time state champion as well. They were also physically bigger than De La Salle that season, the Bellevue offensive line averaged almost a 40lb weight advantage over the DLS defensive line.

[@ZOANOM]

Actually, Bellevue ran the double wing, not the Veer. The main reason they defeated DLS was their OL lined up as far off the ball as possible, allowing them to pull and trap before DLS DL could penetrate.

[@martialarts4life393]

"Tiny" Bellevue is public and has twice the amount of students as DLS. DLS challenged Bellevue multiple times before that game and Bellevue turned them down every time. Then, when they knew DLS was rebuilding, Bellevue stacked the team with out of area recruited players like J.R. Hasty, E.J Savanah, and had a couple of 5th yr seniors as well. They sent DLS old outdated game tapes, but made sure to hire new coaches and came up with sneaky trick plays they had never used before. Bellevue was one of the most unethical football teams in the country. The recruiting and the diploma mill they had got exposed on a national level,, and Goncharoff eventually got fired, assistant coaches left, and they are total nobody's since then. What comes around, goes around. As for other teams, they got their asses kicked against Katy, and got pushed around and held scoreless against sub-par Grant of Sacramento. They didn't dominate Long Beach Poly, and Poly wasn't an elite team anyways. Had they played DLS any other year than 2004, they would have been pummeled badly.

De La Salle and Long Beach Poly were perennial powers. This was basically a national championship game. Also, De La Salle was on a decades long win streak, Poly was dominating SoCal, in which they (Poly) had a team that could potentially end De La Salle’s win streak.

foot note to this match up...del la salle whacked poly again nxt yr 2002 at concord 28-7 dominating performance poly defensive plays wore towels stating DREW WHO...and drew ran all over them big time.

[@FTBLDepot]

Freddie Parish, Poly’s 4star starting safety in the 2002 rematch, wore a backplate with Drew’s picture on saying, “Drew Who?”.

They had progessive commercials in 2001? Or was this a rerun on tv

Re-run. They're advertising movies that weren't out in 2001
