Frankie Contreras and the Apaches open Pacific League play against Muir<\/p><\/div>\n

All kickoffs are at 7:00 p.m. unless otherwise indicated:\u00a0<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Friday September 22 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Pacific League<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Last Year: Arcadia 19-12<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both teams desperately want a win to kick off Pacific League play. Muir had its first setback last week against La Salle while Arcadia beat the Lancers in the opener. The game could be a coin flip. Last year’s contest came down to a big play in the fourth quarter. It should be the same this year. Jahlique Stephens, who last year played for the Apaches, is now carrying the ball for the Mustangs. Muir has the edge at home.<\/p>\n

Mission Valley League<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mt. View (3-1) at South El Monte (4-0)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Year: South El Monte 49-22<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Eagles are playing lights out. It’s not only Sal Tovar but also quarterback Daniel Olmos who can throw it and run it. Mt. View’s ground attack has been impressive. Armando Flores and company have over 1300 yards rushing so far. The problem is can the Vikings shut down South El Monte? Maybe once or twice but not enough to get it done. South moves to 5-0.<\/p>\n

Mayfair (3-1) at La Mirada (0-4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Year: La Mirada 63-13<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year it was all La Mirada. My how things have changed. This year the Matadores are getting blown out on a weekly basis while the Monsoons were on a three game win streak before meeting a monster named Santa Margarita last week. Now make no mistake the Matadors have scheduled everybody except the Oklahoma Sooners, but they haven’t even competed. They’ve been outscored 149-14 in the four games. Mayfair has just the team that can give La Mirada fits. It’s hard to believe that the gap, that was 50 points last year, has closed that much between these two teams. But the truth is that it has. Mayfair gets the W.<\/p>\n

South Hills (2-0) at Charter Oak (4-0)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Year: Charter Oak 35-21
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Hills is on the way back. In fact the Huskies may be all the way back after an impressive 2-0 start. They gave Charter Oak all it wanted last year. But Charter Oak is improved as well. The Chargers have destroyed everything in their path including a shutout of Damien last week. South Hills will come out fighting, maybe even grab an early lead. But in crunch time the Chargers will make the plays. Charter Oak remains undefeated.<\/p>\n

Bonita (2-2) at Diamond Ranch (2-2)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Year: Bonita 39-14<\/strong><\/p>\n

J.P. Andrade has been throwing the ball all over the lot – to the tune of over 1400 yards in the first four games. It hasn’t always equated to wins however as the Bearcats are 2-2. Diamond Ranch is also 2-2 but easily could be 4-0 with a break here or there. The Panthers lost by three points to Ayala and by a touchdown to Chino Hills in overtime. Andrade may again get his but D-Ranch, with a steady defense and an offense that does enough, emerges with the victory. With West Covina and Chino down, the Panthers will be in the thick of the Hacienda hunt.<\/p>\n

Pomona (1-3) at Northview (2-2) (Covina District Field)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Year: Northview 35-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northview needs to take out some frustration after a tough loss to Don Lugo last week and Pomona may be just the medicine the Vikes need. Pomona did beat El Rancho in overtime two weeks ago but other than that it’s been a rough go for the Red Devils. Northview has shown signs but has also taken its lumps. Charter Oak put it on them in Zero Week but then again…that’s Charter Oak. Everything should come together here. The offense clicks and the defense makes enough stops for Marcel Perez’ crew. Northview gets it done.<\/p>\n

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

Last Year: Whittier 27-7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whittier has raised some eyebrows this year. The Cardinals hung with Montebello putting up 40 and last week they took care of Monrovia. Schurr righted the ship last week with a big win over West Covina. The Spartans only loss was at the hands off undefeated Arroyo. Schurr, who turned the ball over three times in the loss to the Knights, will need to avoid turnovers to keep Whittier at bay. The Spartans have the weapons though and they should all be on display this Friday night. Schurr gets the win.<\/p>\n

Bell Gardens (1-2) at San Marino (3-1)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Year: San Marino 41-18<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Titans aren’t all the way back to the team they were two years ago but they are off to a nice start. They lost the opener to Los Altos but have won three straight since scoring over 40 points per game. Bell Gardens is still in rebuilding mode. It may take a year or two under Margarito Beltran for the Lancers to get back on track. San Marino gets the jump and wins going away. The Titans are gearing up for Rio Hondo League.<\/p>\n
