San Bernardino Valley College and Chaffey had both hoped to
figure into the Foothill Conference title picture this season but those
hopes have faded. Its College of the Desert (8-0) and Antelope Valley
(7-0) battling for the title Saturday in Palm Desert.

The local coaches picked different winners. SBVC coach Pat Meech

still has yet to see Antelope Valley first hand.

SBVC lost to Desert 27-14 last week and 22-6 to Antelope the week

Chaffey lost to Desrt 50-17 two weeks ago

“I like Antelope. They’re defense is pretty stinking good.” Meech

decline. But this week’s game will test the character and mental makeup
of his team.
