The first truly huge Friday of the season is upon us …

Tribune No. 1 West Covina vs. Star-News No. 2 Monrovia
Tribune No. 2 Los Altos vs. Tribune No. 3 Damien
Tribune No. 5 Charter Oak vs. Tribune No. 6 Glendora

Inside scoop from Los Altos: The Conquerors coaching staff can’t buy that there’s a better team in the Valley than Damien.
Inside scoop from Monrova: Call it the hangover effect from last week’s win against Arcadia, but the Wildcats think they have a good shot against WestCo. Or should I say coaches are cautiously optimistic.
Inside scoop from Charter Oak: Receiver Michael Johnson has been suspended and won’t play against Glendora. The Chargers’ offense is in big trouble.

It doesn’t get any bigger than this! OK, maybe when a league title is on the line or late in the playoffs.
