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

Sierra Vista (4-1) at Covina (1-3) (Covina District Field) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sierra Vista is off to a nice start winning four of its first five games. It was a struggle for Covina but then suddenly last week the Colts put it on Bell Gardens 41-0. Sierra Vista may not have played a team that is in Covina’s class just yet. Colts get the victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charter Oak (4-0) at West Covina (2-3) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charter Oak is the real deal. The Chargers have won close ones,16-15 over Chino Hills, and the not so close ones, 55-7 over South Hills. This could be a special year for CO. West Covina has been playing good ball. The Bulldogs also blew out South Hills and lost two close calls to Alta Loma and Valencia. This is a game that if Charter Oak isn’t careful West Covina could jump up and bite them. I don’t think that happens. CO takes care of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diamond Bar (5-0) at Baldwin Park (4-1) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raise your hand if you thought Diamond Bar would be 5-0. Ok, put them down. No you didn’t. Matt Castaneda has done great job turning the Brahmas around. Baldwin Park is having a nice season as well. The Braves have stumbled only once, to Schurr, but otherwise have been near perfect. Baldwin Park can score while Diamond Bar has done a pretty good job defensively. Braves may jump out early but Diamond Bar makes the play down the stretch. The Brahmas stay unbeaten. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Dimas (3-2) at Monrovia (3-1) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monrovia is looking to bounce back from a big loss to Ayala. The Wildcats had a bye last week to regroup. San Dimas fell to Bonita in the Smudge Pot but rebounded nicely last week in a win over Schurr. San Dimas needs to slow the game down and establish the running attack. If the Saints can do that they have a shot. The question is can they stay with the Monrovia receivers like Carlos Hernandez and Jaylen Moore? It’s a difficult task. The Wildcats will win that battle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monrovia 34 San Dimas 20 <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bishop Amat (3-1) at Damien (1-4) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bishop Amat’s only loss was to St John Bosco. The ’85 Chicago Bears would have had trouble beating St. John Bosco. Damien has lost to Pasadena, Orange Lutheran, La Serna, etc. I just don’t see this being close. Amat rolls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bishop Amat 35 Damien 7 <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

California (2-3) at Los Altos (1-4) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two teams that could really use a win before heading into league. Los Altos has had trouble finding its rhythm under Dale Ziola, who returned for his second stint as head coach. The Conquerors have lost four straight after an opening night win over Wilson. They have one more non league game, next week against Charter Oak, before starting Valle Vista League play. If the Conqs can avoid the turnovers they have a shot to beat Cal. The Condors have been up and down although their schedule hasn’t exactly been a walk in the park. Cal should have enough. The Condors win this one and gain some momentum heading into a war with La Serna next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

California 30 Los Altos 21 <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Gabriel (3-0) at Temple City (2-2) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temple City, under Riley Saxon, has done a good job in winning two games. This is a program that didn’t win a game in 2021. San Gabriel has been on the rise the last couple of seasons. The Matadors are 3-0 this year including an impressive 28-24 win over San Marino last week. The Rams have bit off a little more than they can chew here. Mats win big. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Gabriel 42 Temple City 14 <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Both teams are 1-4 but with the exception of Los Altos, Glendora has played a schedule that could appropriately be called a death march. It’s been a struggle for Diamond Ranch offensively. The Panthers have scored a combined 21 points in their four losses which include two shutouts. Glendora will get well in this one. It might be just what the Tartans need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
