Santa Maragarita wins Ayala Linemen Competition … Ayala finishes second …

Santa Margarita won the Ayala Linemen Competition on Saturday afternoon. The host Bulldogs were second with Eisenhower third. Seventeen teams competed in the contest.

Aram’s take: That’s a nice little sign for the Bulldogs, who are a good candidate to be one of the surprise teams in the area with all those juniors who went unbeaten as freshmen. Ayala begins the season on Friday, Sept. 2 at home against Diamond Bar.
