- Riordan
- St. Ignatius
- Serra
- Valley Christian
- Mitty
- SHC
- Bellarmine
Game of the Week: Riordan @ SI
This game will provide a glimpse of the possible outcome of the WCAL title race as there is still plenty of football to be played. As mentioned, an impressive win by the Wildcats in upending Serra with a marvelous 4th quarter comeback. This Padres team is young and certainly not at the level they have been at the past 3 seasons having their once in a generation class now gone to graduation.
SI's highly touted DT transfer makes his debut. It should be noted that Riordan's OL Peter Langi was not yet eligible when both squads met last season. So this makes an intriguing matchup of O and D lines. It's good to see the injured Riordan players back. Chris Lawson reminded everyone why he is one of the top WRs and DB in the State. The other returning starters provided the Crusaders much needed depth. Btw - Nice debut by Riordan soph RB, Adonyae Brown, splitting the workload with Jeremiah Jones. The Riordan defense is comprised of a freshman several sophomores and juniors (a few returning from injuries as well) and yesterday's game was a positive step.
It's always good for City rivals playing for pole position in a league race instead of just its annual Haskell Trophy. Should be a packed and raucous house in the Sunset Friday night!
