Thursday October 9\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whittier (3-1) at Schurr (2-1-1)<\/p>\n

Last Year: Schurr 7-6<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The Spartans scored 13 points in the final quarter last week to earn a tie with Cal. It probably wasn\u2019t what Schurr wanted but when you\u2019re down 13-0 in the fourth a tie doesn\u2019t look too bad.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Aaron Cantu and Nick Castillo should amp it up this week against Whittier. Look for the team that showed up the week before against Wilson. Schurr wins big.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Azusa (4-1) at La Puente (4-1)<\/p>\n

Last Year: Azusa 47-17<\/p>\n

2007: La Puente 24-13<\/p>\n

\u00a0 A nice early matchup between possibly the Montview league\u2019s top two contenders. Azusa and LP won their league openers with ease taking care of Bassett and Duarte respectively. Azusa might have the edge offensively with quarterback John Chavez but the Warriors can score too with Garrett Hrey leading the way.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Whoever plays the best defense wins. I think it will be the Warriors who have allowed an average of only eight points per game.<\/p>\n

La Puente 20 Azusa 16<\/p>\n

Muir (0-4) at Burbank (3-1) Burroughs H.S.<\/p>\n

Last Year: Muir 47-7<\/p>\n

\u00a0 It\u2019s been a struggle for Muir early but when you play the schedule the Mustangs have that should be expected. Muir is coming off a tough three point loss to Burroughs while Burbank easily handled Crescenta Valley.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Quarterback Adam Colman is having a big year for Burbank throwing for over 600 yards already but can he do it against a quick Muir secondary? Muir is led by Jarron Williams and Eddie Tripp.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Muir finally breaks into the win column holding off Burbank in the fourth.<\/p>\n

Muir 17 Burbank 13<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pasadena (2-2) at Arcadia (1-2-1)<\/p>\n

Last Year: Arcadia 31-27<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Both teams opened Pacific League play with victories. Pasadena held off Hoover 21-13 while the Apaches took care of Glendale 34-16. Arcadia\u2019s offense seems to be getting on track- the Apaches have scored 62 points in their last two games.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Sophomore Myles Carr replaced the injured Garrett Tuck against Glendale and threw for over 200 yards and Taylor Legace had over 100 yards receiving and a pair of scores. The running attack with Rodney Arnett and Everett Frazier is strong as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Pasadena might have trouble holding down the Arcadia offense. The Bulldogs need to avoid falling behind early. Arcadia gets the W.<\/p>\n

Arcadia 31 Pasadena 17<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Arroyo (2-2) at La Canada (2-1)<\/p>\n

Last Year: La Canada 28-0<\/p>\n

All-Time: La Canada 1-0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Rocky Moore has been putting up big numbers for the surprising Spartans who have won two of their first three. Their only loss was a three point game to Crescenta Valley.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Arroyo is suddenly in the midst of a two game losing streak after opening the season with two wins.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The Knights\u2019 offense should be fine with Steven Rivera, Mike Vasquez, Chris Rodriguez and company. It could turn into a shootout. Arroyo holds off Spartans late.<\/p>\n

Arroyo 30 La Canada 27<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bonita (1-3) at San Dimas (3-1) Smudge Pot<\/p>\n

Last Year: San Dimas 50-33<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The Saints have a plenty of weapons offensively in Shawn Kennedy, Ryan Kohler and Tre Evans. The problem is making the defensive stops. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The Bearcats only win was a defensive struggle against Baldwin Park. But they gave up 43 to Santa Fe and 31 to Claremont so they\u2019ve had their problems as well.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0San Dimas hung a 50 on Bonita last year. The Saints won\u2019t get that much but they will put up some points. San Dimas takes the Smudge Pot.<\/p>\n

El Monte (0-4) at Rowland (4-0)<\/p>\n

Common Opponents: Covina 13 El Monte 0, Rowland 48 Covina 12\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Michael Ball, Josh Onovughe, Leonardo Freeman, Ervin Crawford\u2026.the Raiders can beat you in so many different ways. Last Thursday night in matter of minutes, Covina was down by four touchdowns.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 El Monte is still trying to get off the floor. The Lions are coming off a 35-14 pasting at the hands of Baldwin Park. They\u2019re still in search of that elusive first victory.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Rowland rolls to its fifth straight.<\/p>\n

La Salle (3-2) at Temple City (1-2-1)<\/p>\n

Last Year: Temple City 28-17<\/p>\n

All-Time: Temple City 3-1<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The Rams finally got their first win last week in a 27-13 cross town win over Rosemead. It wasn\u2019t their usually style as Max Ruckle was held to under 40 yards rushing. But quarterback Justin Smith, and receivers Andrew Torres and David Spratt came up big for TC.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 La Salle was slammed last week against another Rio Hondo league team \u2013 Monrovia. The Lancer defense couldn\u2019t find a way to stop the Cats. They\u2019ll need big games from Michael Novell and Carlos Morales to keep them in the game.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 San Marino, another Rio Hondo league contender beat La Salle 35-13 in week two. Rams will be the third Rio team to knock out La Salle.<\/p>\n

Temple City 27 La Salle 14<\/p>\n

San Marino (4-0) at San Gabriel (2-2)<\/p>\n

Last Year: San Marino 29-17<\/p>\n

All-Time: San Marino 29-11-2<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The knock against the Titans is that they haven\u2019t played anybody. The likes of Gabrielino, Hoover and Cantwell just don\u2019t seem to strike fear into the hearts of their opponents. But the fact is that San Marino has done exactly what it needed to do \u2013 beat them and beat them handily.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 San Gabriel is playing .500 ball but its two losses have been to quality foes in Cathedral and Burbank. The Matadors offense isn\u2019t clicking like they would like it to but it\u2019s coming around.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 It\u2019s a tough game to call. Last year the Titans were undefeated and took care of business at home. I think the Matadors will do the same.<\/p>\n

San Gabriel 21 San Marino 17<\/p>\n

Rosemead (1-3) at South Hills (2-2) Covina District Field<\/p>\n

Last Year: South Hills 14-10<\/p>\n

2003: South Hills 27-21<\/p>\n

\u00a0 This was a good game last year. South Hills was well\u2026South Hills and Rosemead was on its way to becoming a CIF Finalist. Things have changed in a year. The Panthers lost a ton of seniors to graduation. While guys such as Tra Sumler and Angel Alejandre were taking the walk in June, South Hills had players like Miles Bevel, Geoffrey Vaughns and Ify Umodu all returning.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The Huskies took out the frustrations of two early season losses on Northview last week in a 62-0 rout. I don\u2019t see it being that bad but South Hills will win\u2026and win big.<\/p>\n
