Most of the SCV’s football teams are struggling so far this year in their non-conference or non-league games. In fact, this past weekend we only had three winners out of 10 teams. But we have full confidence in better results to come.

The Foothill League will begin play on Sept. 19, so this weekend offers the last opportunity for those teams to tune up before they begin clashing with each other. College of the Canyons will start conference play that same weekend, on Sept. 20. Trinity and SCCS don’t start league play until early October.

Foothill League

We congratulate Saugus and West Ranch as the only Foothill League teams to pull out a win last weekend.

Saugus

The Saugus Centurions are currently riding high at 3-0 on the season. The most recent victory was in dramatic come-back fashion over Camarillo (1-2) on Sept. 5 by a score of 30-27.

Saugus will take on the Hueneme Vikings (1-2) away on Thursday, Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. (Note: That has changed from Friday.) Hueneme beat Channel Islands (0-2) on Sept. 5 by a score of 25-0.

Hart

The Hart Hawks lost to Paraclete (3-0) 21-47 on Sept. 5 to drop to 1-2 on the season so far. Hart was scheduled to play the Bishop Montgomery Knights on Sept. 12. However, for reasons we won’t get into, Bishop Montgomery has suspended its varsity football program for the remainder of the season and all games are forfeited. But late on Tuesday, Hart found a replacement game. Hart will take on the Heritage Christian Warriors at home on Friday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. at COC. The Warriors are 3-0 after defeating the Centennial Apaches of Compton (1-2) 54-28 on Sept. 5.
