    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!
