Santa Clarita High School Football

Final/Thursday

2 Santa Clarita Christian (9-0): 56

Fairmont Prep: 20

The Blake to Blaike combination has been lethal all season, and it was on full display last night. Junior quarterback Blake Kirshner found senior wideout Blaike Orth for three long second half touchdowns (37, 50, and 60 yards) as the Cardinals cruised to their ninth win of the season.

The #2 team in Division 13 is now one win away from their first undefeated season in 11-man football and first San Jaoquin League championship. They’ll travel to Diamond Bar to take on Southlands Christian in their finale next Thursday. Southlands is in last place in the San Jaoquin League and has just one win on the year.
