Santa Clarita High School Football

All seven of the Santa Clarita Valley teams in action in Week Four came out of the week with winning records.

Nick Moore turnovers (three interceptions and one fumble) proved to be too costly to overcome despite 306 total  yards for the junior quarterback of the Indians in the KHTS Game of the Week as Hart (3-1) fell to St. Bonaventure 38-32 at Cougar Stadium.

The Indians face Ventura on the road, Friday.

KJ Maduike’s big game (153 total yards and four total touchdowns) wasn’t enough for Golden Valley (4-1) at Rio Mesa as the Grizzlies fell in a shootout, 41-38.

GV is on a bye this week.

Aaron Thomas had his best passing performance of the young season (386 yards and four total touchdowns) and the Vikings (3-1) high-octane offense scored over 40 points for the second straight week, this time a 48-9 win on the road against Bakersfield.

Valencia hosts Calabasas in the KHTS Game of the Week Friday at Valencia HS.

Another week, another win for the undefeated Saugus Centurions. Saugus is 5-0 after defeating Agoura on the road 35-23. Nate Eldridge threw two touchdown passes to Jared Pane in the win, and leads the Santa Clarita Valley in passing touchdowns with 14.

Saugus is on a bye this week.

West Ranch QB Wyatt Eget scored the game-winning touchdown on a 3-yd run with 10 seconds to play in the game to give West Ranch a 21-17 win over Oxnard. The Wildcats are now 3-2 with four of their first five games decided by four points or less.

West Ranch is on a bye this week.

Canyon (4-1) was down 7-6 to Simi Valley at the half and came out in the third quarter in a frenzy, scoring 28 unanswered points and cruised to a 48-13. Brian Deveraux was the star of the show, rushing for 167 yards on nine carries with three touchdowns.

Canyon heads to the bye on a four-game winning streak.

Tyler Lee (three total touchdowns) and the Trinity Knights (3-1) had their best offensive outing of the season at Southlands Christian in a 44-29 romp. The Knights scored five rushing touchdowns.

The second annual Faith Bowl is Friday night at Canyon between Trinity and Santa Clarita Christian.

Santa Clarita High School Volleyball

West Ranch went 3-2 Saturday in the Royal Tournament with wins over Simi Valley (twice) and Stockdale and losses to Notre Dame Academy and Frontier.

Foothill League play resumes Tuesday.

COC Football

Jake Maier and the Long Beach City College Vikings put a hurting on the Canyons Cougars (2-2) Saturday night in Long Beach. LBCC defeated COC 41-14, the second time in as many weeks the Cougars have been held to 14 points.

Maier threw for 348 yards and six touchdowns, while the Cougars only managed 12 first downs.

Leo Lambert III and Tylan McBride provided the offensive scoring for COC with a touchdown run apiece.

Next Saturday, the Cougars are back home to take on Grossmont. Kickoff is at 6 pm.

Los Angeles Dodgers

Your Los Angeles Dodgers are the National League West champions! LA took care of business in impressive fashion over the weekend, sweeping the Colorado Rockies to earn a fourth straight division title.

And how else would they do it, but a walk-off homer from an unlikely hero in the tenth inning? Insert late-summer call-up Charlie Culberson.

Culberson clubbed the game-winner to seal a 4-3 win and a four-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies, and just like that the Dodgers (90-66) are back in the postseason.

LA has an off-day before starting the final stretch of the regular season, two California road trips (San Diego, San Francisco).

Los Angeles Rams

The Rams were dominated by the 49ers in the opening week of the season, but  have since won back-to-back games to move into first place in the NFC West after three games with a 2-1 record.

Sunday, LA went across the country and to Tampa Bay and left slipped out of there with a 36-32 victory thanks to two Todd Gurley rushing touchdowns, two passing touchdowns from Case Keenum, and scoring 14 points off of two turnovers, including Ethan Westbrooks 77-yard fumble recovery for touchdown.

Not even a 70-minute weather delay at Raymond James Stadium could stop the Rams from winning.

The offense may have finally woken up. Zero touchdowns heading into Week Three, the Rams scored four touchdowns on offense this week.

Oh, how quickly fortunes can change in the NFL.
