PREP SPORTS: School closing, others merging

| | Comments (0) |

Montclair Prep isn't the only school in the region with major changes as September nears.

West Valley Christian has discontinued its high school. The West Hills campus will still operate its elementary and junior high.

Like Montclair Prep, West Valley Christian had recent success in boys' basketball.

The Falcons advanced to the Div. VI-A championship in 2010. The Falcons lost to Kilpatrick on the court but Kilpatrick was forced to forfeit the championship victory for using an ineligible player.

"It was pretty much a huge shock to all of us," former coach Brady Day said.

Day said declining enrollment and other factors were cited as reasons for dropping the high school.

Day has landed at Hillcrest Christian of Thousand Oaks. Day is the athletic director and boys' basketball coach.

Former West Valley Christian athletic director Ken Roupe is the new athletic director at Concordia West.

Concordia West is the new school name after the merger of Canoga Park Lutheran and Trinity Lutheran.

Two Sylmar-based high schools have also merged.

First Lutheran and L.A. Lutheran have combined and will now be called Concordia High.
