Rancho-Charter Oak football game to be televised
It was announced Tuesday that a matchup between defending CIF-SS champions will be televised at 7:30 p.m. by PRIME TICKET on Sept. 25 when Rancho Cucamonga visits Covina Charter Oak to settle a score.
A meeting between these two eventual undefeated CIF champions ended in a less than satisfying 14-14 tie in Week 3 of last year. That, it just so happened, turned out to be the lone blemish on each team's schedule the rest of the season.
Who could have imagined what a colossal game the rematch would turn out to be?
Rancho Cucamonga, the CIF-SS Central Division champion, was seemingly driving for the winning touchdown in its Sept. 26 game when Charter Oak, the CIF-SS Southeast Division champs, pilfered an interception deep in its own territory to preserve the tie.
The Rancho offense that averaged 30 points per game last year is loaded. Again. Charter Oak, however, brings back eight of the defensive starters that held Rancho 16 points under its average in last season's meeting along with two Division-I tailbacks including 1,900-yard rusher Adam Muema.
