Though each Foothill League varsity football team has one bye week during league play, which confuses the win and loss totals comparison at any time, there is some separation beginning to show and things should become a bit clearer after Golden Valley meets Valencia this week.

Note that all the league games this week will be played on Thursday, Oct. 10.

While the Golden Valley Grizzlies (1-1, 5-1) had a bye last week, the Valencia Vikings hammered Canyon on Oct. 4, 55-7, continuing the team’s turnaround for a league record of 2-0 and an overall record of 2-4. Valencia will host Golden Valley at 7 p.m. on Oct. 10.
