Can Monrovia’s D shut down Alta Loma?<\/p><\/div>\n

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

Thursday August 29 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Eisenhower (0-1) at La Serna (1-0) at California\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

La Serna always plays a brutal non-league schedule and always seems to be up to the task. Last week the Lacers beat a solid Murrieta Mesa team by 30. Eisenhower competed but ultimately fell to defending CIF champion South Hills 28-12. Eisenhower\u00a0 will compete again but La Serna comes out on top.<\/p>\n

Nogales (0-1) at Arroyo (1-0) <\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Year: Arroyo 48-7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arroyo is looking to get well after last week’s blow out loss to Bonita. The Knights couldn’t have picked a better team to do it against. Nogales didn’t look good in a 22-0 loss to Baldwin Park. The Nobles are in for a long night.<\/p>\n

El Rancho (0-1) at Bell Gardens (0-1)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Year: El Rancho 45-28\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

El Rancho raised a few eyebrows last week. Sure, the Dons lost. But they lost to a Northview team that has its sight set on a CIF title. El Rancho didn’t go away and had the ball with a chance to tie it with just over two minutes left. The Vikings knew they were in a fight. Bell Gardens got smacked by Segerstrom. The question – is Segerstrom that good or BG that bad? We’ll find out this week. El Rancho prevails.<\/p>\n

Charter Oak (1-0) at Colony (0-1) <\/strong><\/p>\n

Lighting up San Marino is one thing. Colony is a different kettle of fish. Last week the Chargers had emotion and motivation on their side and rode that wave to a big victory. That might not be enough to beat Colony. Last week the Titans fell to Carter by one point and will be looking to get that bad taste out of their mouth. Colony is big, bad and loaded\u00a0 with talent. Charter Oak will eventually wear down. Colony gets the victory.<\/p>\n

Pasadena (1-0) at Maranatha (1-0)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Year: Pasadena 14-12\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pasadena may have something here. The Bulldogs looked good in the summer and then kicked things off with a three touchdown win over St. Genevieve. Head Coach Dejuan Shamburger seems to have the program going in the right direction. Maranatha, led by former NFL linebacker LaVar Arrington, beat Crean Lutheran 34-17 in the opener. The Minutemen are hoping to avenge last year’s two-point loss. Should be a good offensive show and a great atmosphere at Maranatha High School on a Friday night. Bulldogs do just enough to win the “Battle for Rose City”.<\/p>\n

Alta Loma (1-0) at Monrovia (1-0) <\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Year: Alta Loma 23-21 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monrovia got the W last week but against a West Covina team that has been down the last few years, 28-14 didn’t really stand out. Alta Loma, always a tough out in the Palomares, knocked out a good Don Lugo squad 14-6. The Wildcats will need a better performance than they had versus West Covina. If they don’t Alta Loma will take advantage. Alta Loma pulls it off late.<\/p>\n

San Marino (0-1) at Northview (1-0) Covina District Field\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Year: Northview 28-10 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If San Marino can get an early score, and maybe get a stop and a turnover…nah, who am I kidding? Northview rolls. In fact the Viking may take out a little frustration on the Titans after a close call with El Rancho last week. Northview jumps out in the first quarter and never looks back. Big night for the Thompson Two, James Jimenez and company.<\/p>\n

Northview 48 San Marino 7 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Montebello (0-1) at San Dimas (0-0) \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Montebello had a rough opening night against Garfield. It doesn’t get any easier this week for Pete Gonzalez’ Oilers. San Dimas has a big solid offensive line and a devastating running attack. But isn’t that the Saints usual MO? Also for San Dimas it’s their season opener so you know they’ll come charging out of the gate. Saints get off and running.<\/p>\n
