Here is the schedule for next week’s games. Home teams have been determined and these are likely sites for the games. There are at least 2 all-county matchups: Upland-Redlands and Jurupa Hills-Citrus Valley. In addition, if Big Bear wins Saturday, the Bears would play at Ontario Christian.
INLAND DIVISION
Vista Murrieta at Norco
Charter Oak vs. Rancho Cucamonga at Los Osos HS
Upland at Redlands
Corona Centennial at Murrieta Valley
OK, here we go, with Friday night’s scores — some surprises and some expected. San Bernardino County teams in bold.
Biggest surprise? Summit’s loss. Second biggest surprise? Not that Redlands won, but how the Terriers ran over Chino Hills. “Upset” that I wasn’t surprised by? Jurupa Hills beating Fillmore.
INLAND DIVISION
Vista Murrieta 34, South Hills 6
Norco 50, Redlands East Valley 22
Rancho Cucamonga 33, Corona Santiago 17
Charter Oak 24, Chaparral 14
Upland 35, Great Oak 6
Redlands 55, Chino Hills 27
Murrieta Valley 35, Eisenhower 27
Corona Centennial 47, Los Osos 21

Here is my last prediction of a division. The Central Division is interesting in that it looks like the 4 seeds will come from 2 leagues. My guess is Paloma Valley will get the at-large over Valley View. If I’m wrong, then everything is changed.
Here we go:
Paloma Valley (7-3) at No. 1 Summit (9-1)
Arlington (6-4) at Chino (8-2)
Chaffey (5-5) at Rancho Verde (7-3)
La Quinta (4-6) at No. 4 Elsinore (7-3)
Desert Valley No. 3 team (don’t know who won tiebreaker) at No. 3 Kaiser (9-1)
Temescal Canyon (5-5) at Palm Springs (8-2)
Colony (6-4) at North (6-4)
Colton (3-7) at No. 2 Heritage (9-1)
It’s not easy to predict the East Valley Division, since I have 5 Mountain Valley League teams getting in. But I will attempt to anyway, before the bracket comes out on Sunday.
My prediction:
Rubidoux (6-4) at No. 1 Ontario Christian (10-0)
Rim of the World (8-2) at Twentynine Palms (6-4)
Yucca Valley (5-5) at Fillmore (8-2)
Brethren Christian (6-4) at No. 4 Citrus Valley (5-5)
Shadow Hills (6-4) at No. 3 Banning (9-1)
Aquinas (6-4) at Big Bear (8-2)
Linfield Christian (4-6) at Malibu (7-3)
Jurupa Hills (6-4) at No. 2 St. Margaret’s (9-1)
Friday’s results:
AMBASSADOR LEAGUE
Ontario Christian 58, Western Christian 14
Linfield Christian 47, Aquinas 36
Calvary Murrieta 42, Arrowhead Christian 20
Playoff order (East Valley Division): 1. Ontario Christian, 2. Linfield Christian, 3. Aquinas. At large possibilities: 4. Western Christian (7-3), 5. Calvary Murrieta (7-3).

Los Osos 32, Glendora 26
Playoff order (Inland Division): 1. Upland, 2. Rancho Cucamonga, 3. Los Osos. At large possibilities: 4. Etiwanda (4-6).
Miller football coach Marcus Soward announced his resignation on Friday night after the Rebels finished a 1-9 season. He had told the administration on Monday.
“I had no guarantee of a teaching job next year,” Soward said. “I have a 5-year-old son and I had to do what was best.”
Soward said he didn’t know if the poor season was a reason he was not guaranteed a teaching job for next year. He was 6-14 in two seasons at Miller after arriving from Arroyo Valley. Continue reading
Here are some thoughts as to why Eisenhower beat Redlands 14-7 on Thursday, claiming a share of the Citrus Belt League title, Eisenhower’s first CBL title since 2002.
Here are my predictions for Thursday’s San Bernardino County prep football games. I plan on putting up Friday’s predictions later tonight.
