As we head for football in the first week of September, most Santa Clarita Valley teams have completed two non-league games, and trends are beginning to emerge. Some teams hope to continue their directions this week and others want complete reversals. We wish them all the best.

Foothill League

Our seven Foothill League high school football teams finished a second set of non-league games during the Labor Day weekend and the results were mixed.

Valencia

The Valencia Vikings defeated Chaminade 34-20 on Aug. 29, which gives them a tidy 2-0 record so far. On Friday, Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. Valencia will take on Bishop Amat at home. The Lancers are 1-1 after losing to Oak Hills on Aug. 28 by a score of 10-38.

The game will be played at Valencia High School, located at 27801 N. Dickason Drive, Valencia, CA 91355. The football stadium is on the southwest side of the campus, nearest Smyth Drive. Park in the lot off Smyth.
