Damien has settled on playing Orange Lutheran in Week 1 next season after being unable to line up a game with Monrovia that same week.

The Spartans made a run at trying to play Monrovia, which already had the date filled. So now Orange Lutheran will be Damien’s season opener (at home).

Aram’s take: Wow, O-Lu coming to the foothills/SGV/Inland Valley. That’s a nice test right off the bat. It’s too bad no game against Monrovia could be made. Damien has a LOAD of returning starters next season and who knows what other improvements they’ll make this offseason.
