\n Linfield Christian (3-1, 8-1) at Ontario Christian (2-2, 6-3)<\/strong>
\nThe Knights could really complicate things with an upset of the Lions. That\u2019s what it would take, an upset. So it\u2019s not likely, LC wins, OC goes to the altar and prays for a CIF invitation.
\nLinfield Christian: 40-20<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nUnless Linfield seriously biffs it against Ontario Christian, the Falcons are in the playoffs no matter what happens against the Titans. If they can find a way, if Branden Rankins has an out of this world game, and they win…Then Aquinas gets a share of the Ambassador title. Not happening. This is the perfect game NDR needs to begin its title run.
\nNotre Dame\/Riverside: 28-7<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Shadow Hills (3-2, 4-5) at Desert Hot Springs (3-2, 6-3)<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s a coin flip for third place in the De Anza. Winner keeps practicing, loser turns in its gear. I\u2019ve been giving Shadow Hills the benefit of the doubt all year…and they haven\u2019t had a great year. Because confidence is shaken I\u2019m leaning toward the DHS Golden Eagles and running back Markese Denmon.
\nDesert Hot Springs: 18-16\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Santa Maria (1-2, 2-7) at Templeton (1-2, 5-4)<\/strong>
\nThrough nine games this season Eagles quarterback Jordan Bernal has thrown for 15 touchdowns and run for nine more. He might equal those numbers this Friday night against SM. Templeton fans be sure to gas up, you\u2019ll be on the road next week.
\nTempleton: 50 14<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Heritage Christian (1-2, 4-5) vs. Whittier Christian (0-3, 3-6) at Whittier College<\/strong>
\nA win and the Warriors are in the playoffs for the second time in two years under Scott Hurst. They shouldn\u2019t overlook the Heralds. Quinn Commans and the Whittier Christian offense can still deliver. The Heritage running game needs to keep them off the field.
\nHeritage Christian: 30-7<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nMark Bates and his Crusaders finished 5-5 a year ago and missed the playoffs. A victory over the Minutemen will make them 6-4 for this season and put them into the dance. Natha is playing a lot of young players and CalPreps projects them getting a 27-12 victory. We\u2019ll take the Minutemen, but think it will be closer and that they\u2019ll win by a Bogan.
\nMaranatha: 24-23<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Rio Hondo Prep (2-0, 5-3) at Pasadena Poly (2-0, 6-3) Kickoff: 2:30P.M.<\/strong>
\nEverything from the last two years says to go with the Panthers, but this Kares team has been getting a little bit better each and every week. It\u2019s not going to be easy and might deplete them before the playoffs, but go with RHP on the road.
\nRio Hondo Prep: 21-20<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Bishop Montgomery (2-0, 8-1) vs. Verbum Dei (2-0, 4-5) at LA Southwest College<\/strong>
\nYou have to play them all. Verbum Dei\u2019s shot in this game was lost when Davir Hamilton transferred out after last season. Brendan Marafino, Patrick Smith, and Bernard Amofa make it a great night for the Knights.
