sports_footballhelmetSCV[KHTS] – The Valencia and Hart football teams will meet in a rematch for the CIF Southern Section Northern Division championship.

Both teams won their semifinal games handily.

The Vikings eliminated Saugus, 45-8, but one of Valencia’s star players was ejected from the game and will not be able to play in the championship game against Hart.

Valencia’s Jay Jay Wilson was ejected after hitting Saugus receiver Timmy Kahovec in the end zone and celebrating excessively after the hit.

The Northern Division championship game will be at Valencia High School on Friday night.

    I can’t believe the Hart vs. Valencia game is going to be at Valencia… this game is expecting to be highly attended (not just by both schools, but people from other Foothill League schools as well). VHS has a small stadium with limited parking. Hopefully, there is consideration to move it to COC that can accommodate the large number of people anticipated to attend the game and the cars that bring them there. If it is at Valencia, good luck to everyone finding parking (unless they’re going to run a shuttle service) and a place to sit!
