Taking a guess at the local games for the weekend
This will likely be the last weekend of action for the local colleges. The University of Redlands has an outside shot at an at-large bid, but that's only if they win. And even then it's a long shot given the history of the SCIAC teams.
Here's a guess at this week's outcomes . . .
Cal Lutheran at Redlands
Redlands has the No. 2 defense in the country, Cal Lu the No. 4. But Redlands has the better offense and will be playing at home.
Redlands 17, Cal Lu 14
Claremont-Mudd-Scripps at Pomona Pitzer
It's the annual battle for the Peace Pipe. Two words - Jake Caron
Pomona Pitzer 34, CMS 24
La Verne at Chapman
Chapman plays up to good teams and down to lesser ones but usually gets by. That will likely happen here.
Chapman 24, La Verne 21
SBVC at L.A. Harbor
Its the last chance for the Wolverines to get in the win column but not likely to happen as the Seahawks boast the top passing team in the South.
Harbor 44, SBC 21
Chaffey at Mt. SAC
Mt SAC is coming off a loss so it should come out a little bit testy. It has too much depth and is too physical for a banged up Chaffey team.
Mt. SAC 42, Chaffey 24
Victor Valley at Mt San Jacinto
The Eagles are one of the most improved teams in the South but the Rams and super QB O'Ryan Bradley should still prevail.
Victor Valley 38, MSJ 21
