DON'T THINK. IT CAN ONLY HURT THE BALLCLUB

WEEK 2
Etiwanda at Norco
These two can relate thanks to membership in tough leagues. They'll add one more brutal game to an already difficult schedule when they face each other.
Other notable games:
Redlands at Los Osos
Upland at Serrano
Ayala vs. Alta Loma (at Chaffey College)

WEEK 3
Rancho Cucamonga at Covina Charter Oak
This matchup of defending CIF champs is without question the most significant non-league matchup in the Inland Valley. On their way to undefeated seasons, it was only fitting that their Week 3 meeting in 2008 ended in a 14-14 tie.
Other notable games:
Diamond Ranch at Chino Hills
La Puente Bishop Amat at Damien
Vista Murrieta at Los Osos

WEEK 4
Diamond Ranch vs. Glendora (at Citrus College)
This one isn't riviting on paper, but I have a feeling these two teams with a flair for the dramatic will produce a thriller. Diamond Ranch's historically stingy defense against a high-scoring Glendora offense should be fun matchup for the football purists.
Other notable games:
Chaffey at Colton
Damien at Covina Charter Oak
Summit vs. Silverado (at Victor Valley HS)

WEEK 5
Bonita at San Dimas
The Smudge Pot was a high-scoring thriller last year as San Dimas pulled away for a 50-33 win, its second straight in this heated rivalry after a three-year drought. The atmosphere made me feel like I was back in Texas; I'd rate it second to only the CIF-SS Central Division championship game.
Other notable games:
Etiwanda at Charter Oak
La Puente Bishop Amat vs. Diamond Ranch (at Ganesha HS)
Rancho Cucamonga at Temecula Valley

WEEK 6
Los Osos at Upland
For the first time in three years, this won't be Los Osos' Richard Brehaut (UCLA) vs. Upland's Josh Nunes (Stanford), but this rivalry won't cool down anytime soon. Without the departed college stars, this game will say a lot about who has built a better program.
Other notable games:
Bonita at Covina Charter Oak
Don Lugo at Chaffey
Chino Hills at Damien

WEEK 7
Covina Charter Oak vs. Diamond Ranch (at Ganesha HS)
What more motivation could Diamond Ranch ask for? Last season, Charter Oak beat the Panthers to win the Miramonte League title then defeated Diamond Ranch again in the CIF-SS Southeast Division championship game.
Other notable games:
Rancho Cucamonga at Los Osos
Damien vs. Glendora (at Citrus College)
Covina at San Dimas

WEEK 8
Colony at Chaffey
The winner of this game has claimed the Mt. Baldy League title every season since Colony joined the league in 2003. Chaffey won this matchup in overtime last season to end Colony's two-year run.
Other notable games:
Kaiser vs. Summit (at Miller HS)
Upland vs. Etiwanda (at Colony HS)
Diamond Ranch at Bonita

WEEK 9
Miller vs. Redlands East Valley (at University of Redlands)
This matchup has produced the champion of the rugged Citrus Belt League the last two years -- REV in '07 and Miller in '08 -- with games decided by an average of two points.
Other notable games:
Rancho Cucamonga at Upland
Chino Hills at Ayala
Covina Northview at San Dimas

WEEK 10
Ontario Christian at Aquinas
These two teams have finished one-two in the Christian League six years running, during which each has claimed three league championships. Aquinas, however, hasn't lost a Christian League game in two seasons.
Other notable games:
Etiwanda vs. Rancho Cucamonga (at Los Osos HS)
Ayala vs. Glendora (at Citrus College)
Riverside Patriot vs. Summit (at Miller HS)
