The Santa Clarita Valley’s high school Foothill League varsity football teams will wind up their non-league schedules this week and the results so far are a mixed bag.

Ahead of its last non-league game at South Pasadena (2–1) Friday, Sept. 13, at 7 p.m., Golden Valley High School varsity football is currently riding a three-game winning streak, giving it a bird’s-eye view of the other six local teams in upcoming Foothill League play.

On Saturday, Sept. 7 Golden Valley got by Lancaster in a close one, winning 7-6.

The Golden Valley Grizzlies open foothill league play on Friday, Sept. 20 against the Hart High School Hawks. The game will be played at Valencia High School at 7 p.m. Golden Valley is the home team.

West Ranch High School is riding a two-game non-league winning streak and is close behind Golden Valley at two wins and one loss.

The West Ranch Wildcats defeated Antelope Valley on Thursday Sept. 5 by a score of 36–14.

They play away at Thousand Oaks (2-1) on Friday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m., and, after a bye week, open league play at Hart on Friday, Sept. 27.

Also soaring high are the Hart Hawks, at two wins and one loss and riding a two-game winning streak. The Hawks defeated Paraclete on Sept. 6 by a score of 30–26.

Hart plays its last non-league game on Friday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. The game was originally scheduled at Eisenhower, but the school opted out due to fire activity in the area and smokey conditions hampering practices. Hart will now play it’s first true “home game” on campus at Hart High in 51 years vs. Birmingham. The game will also be the first varsity football game to be played on the Larry Fiscus Field. The field was renamed for Fiscus, the beloved equipment manager and scoreboard operator for Hart High School, who died in 2022.

As noted, Hart will play Golden Valley on Friday, Sept. 20.

The Castaic Coyotes lost to San Joaquin Memorial on Thursday, Sept. 5 by a score of 21- 10, leaving their preseason so far at one win and two losses.

Castaic hopes to turn things around on Friday, Sept. 13, with a victory at Dominquez (2-0) at 7 p.m.

The Coyotes will open league play at Canyon High at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 20.

The Canyon Cowboys also find themselves at one win and two losses in non-league play, coming off a rough loss at Cathedral on Friday, Sept. 6 of 49-0.

Canyon hopes to get another win at Palm Springs (2-1) Friday, Sept. 13, at 7 p.m. and opens league play against Castaic at home at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 20.

The Saugus Centurions complete the one win and two loss Foothill League teams, coming in on the short end of a 56–24 score at Camarillo on Sept. 6.

Saugus plays undefeated Simi Valley (3-0) at home Friday, Sept. 13, at 7 p.m. The Centurions open league play at home versus Valencia on Friday, Sept. 20 at 7 p.m.

The Valencia Vikings find themselves in unfamiliar territory, with a non-league record of no wins and three losses. Valencia lost a close one at Murrietta Valley on Sept. 5 by a score of 38–33, so there is reason to be optimistic.

The Vikings will host Rancho Cucamonga (1–2) on Friday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. They open league play at Saugus on Friday, Sept. 20 at 7 p.m.
