The two most notable outcomes of last week’s football competition in the SCV were that COC is on a two-game win streak, and that first and second place in the Foothill League will be decided this Friday in a collision of undefeated-in-league teams that has been eagerly anticipated for some time.
Foothill League
In the final week of the regular season, two football teams are undefeated in Foothill League play and they will clash on Friday, Oct. 30 in what will, of course, sort out the top two league positions.
Hart (8-1, 5-0)
The Hart Hawks finished off Canyon 57-0 on Oct. 23 to reach 5-0 in league and set up a titanic clash for the Foothill League championship against Valencia, which is also 5-0 in league.
