Last week both Santa Clarita Christian School and Trinity Classical Academy began league play in football. Thus, all Santa Clarita Valley teams are now in league/conference play. Here we congratulate Hart, Golden Valley and Saugus on wins in the Foothill League and Trinity on a victory in the Cottonwood League. But here we also admit that better minds must be calculating the less obvious league standings. No matter. It will all sort itself out soon.

Foothill League

Hart (5-2, 3-0)

By virtue of a 63-21 victory over West Ranch on Oct. 3, combined with a Valencia bye week, the Hart Hawks have taken over first place in the Foothill League.

Hart will take on winless Castaic (0-6) on Friday, Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. Hart will be the home team at Canyon High School. Castaic lost to Golden Valley 7-35 on Oct. 2.

Valencia (5-1, 2-0)

The Valencia Vikings had a bye last week, so remain near the top of the league standings, but now behind Hart. If both teams continue their winning ways, this won’t change until they meet on Oct. 24, with Hart’s bye week following that.
