Mid-Valley Division Game Night: Week Nine
Friday November 5 Almont San Gabriel (3-5) at Alhambra (4-4) at Moor Field Last Year: San Gabriel 52-14
High School Top 20: Mid-Valley Division
All of the top teams won this week. In fact the top 13 remained status quo. Nobody will touch Monrovia in the Rio Hondo, or Azusa in the Montview.
Defense Finishes it for Maranatha (See Joel Murphy Interview)
(Glendale) – Usually Maranatha wins it with a high powered offense. Saturday night it was the defense that finished the job in a 34-20 win over Village Christian in Olympic League action at Glendale High.
It’s a Bell Gardens Party; 37-35
(San Gabriel) – Josh Adame threw three touchdown passes and ran for another as Bell Gardens held off San Gabriel 37-35 Friday night in a key Almont League clash.
Thomas Terrific for Northview
(Covina District Field) – Marquise Thomas ran for 181 yards and three touchdowns to lead Northview to a 41-14 rout of Nogales Thursday night in Valle Vista League action.
Hooray for Herrera; Gladstone Prevails
By Corey Kwok (Citrus College) – Joseph Herrera had 20 carries for 131 yards and two scores to lead Gladstone to a 21-6 victory over Bassett in Montview League play Thursday night.
A Closer Look at the Montview
It’s been all Azusa all year and there’s no way that’s going to change now. The Aztecs will run the table and wait for a nice playoff seed.
A Closer Look at the Valle Vista
Covina’s win over Baldwin Park placed the Colts in control of the Valle Vista. They’re business isn’t finished yet though as they still have to battle San Dimas on November 5- their last game of the regular season.
A Closer Look at the Olympic
Valley Christian jumped into first place but it wasn’t been easy. The Crusaders needed five overtimes to hold off Maranatha in the greatest game played this year – this decade? Valley Christian still has to play Whittier Christian this Friday night in what could determine the Olympic League title.
A Closer Look at the Almont
Schurr is beginning to assert itself as the top dog in the Almont. Last week the Spartans showed Alhambra who’s the boss. After that it’s anybody’s ballgame. Four teams are sitting at 1-1 with everybody beating up everybody else.
