West Covina (2-3) at Charter Oak (3-2) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bulldogs have some players but it looks like they’re still a year away. Charter Oak did what it needed to do last week against South Hills. West Covina will hang around but Charter Oak gets the W. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Serna (3-2) at Culver City (2-1) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Serna has been taking a lot of heat this year for a couple of non-league losses. Once Del Rio League starts the Lancers will still be the team to beat. However they’ll get beat in this one. Culver City is loaded with talent. La Serna won’t be able to keep up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hart (1-3) at Downey (3-1) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn’t your father’s Hart. The Indians are still a formidable opponent but they aren’t the dominant team that used to roll over everybody back in the day. Downey should have no trouble. The Vikings are coming off a big win over Cal. Vikes by two scores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norwalk (4-1) at El Rancho (5-0)<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Rancho has been the talk of the season so far. The Dons have crushed everybody in their path. Norwalk is improved however its opponents have been less than stellar. Their one loss was to San Marino 34-22. The Dons won’t drop one here. ER wins its sixth straight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glendora (5-0) at Diamond Ranch (1-4) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diamond Ranch had a tough opponent last week against St. Paul and although the Panthers led at halftime St. Paul put it to them in the second half. Glendora is a similar team. The Tartans will pound it with Braydon Brus and eventually wear down D-Ranch. Glendora remains unbeaten. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayfair (4-0) at Northview (2-3) (Covina District Field) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tough matchup for Northview. Mayfair is undefeated coming in and won’t be tested until La Mirada on October 8th. The Vikings need to keep the ball on the ground and try to keep the Monsoons off the field. Even then they could be in for some tough sledding. Mayfair heads into Suburban League play undefeated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monrovia (4-0) at San Dimas (4-1) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe the game of the week. Monrovia is unbeaten while San Dimas has lost just once – to Bonita. The Saints like to pound it while the Wildcats like to air it out with Noah Rodriguez, Carlos Hernandez and company. It’s going to take some big plays to win it and Monrovia has the playmakers to do just that. But if San Dimas gets the ground game going and wears on a defense the Saints are not easy to stop. It could come down to the final play. Flip a coin for the winner. I flipped a quarter and it came up Monrovia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Altos (1-4) at St. Francis (2-1) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a tough pull for the Conquerors. Let’s not sugar coat it, This one could get ugly. The Golden Knights are coming off a big win over Muir. Their only loss was to Damien. Great test for Los Altos before league starts but it’s one that will be almost impossible to pass. St. Francis rolls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
