Kickoff is at 3:15 pm from Saugus.

There’s been a few early surprises for some Foothill League teams.

It’s still early in the non-league portion of the schedule, but the Hart Indians are certainly battling through some early-season adversity. Preseason ranked third in Division II, the Indians (1-2-3) have just one win in six attempts and have plummeted down the CIF-SS rankings to a tie for 10th.

The Indians head to Sherman Oaks today in search of their form. Kickoff at Notre Dame is at 5 pm.

Valencia (1-1-1) enters the heaviest portion of its non-league schedule today with a home match against Newbury Park at 6 pm. Newbury Park is unbeaten (2-2) in its last four matches.

Tournament play at Buena High School begins today for the Saugus Centurions (2-1-1). They face Santa Paula today (6 pm) and Pacifica tomorrow in the group stage.

Golden Valley (3-2) has had nearly a full week off since its 3-0 victory over Crean Lutheran to close out the Best in the West Tournament last Saturday. The Grizzlies are back in action this afternoon against visiting Chatsworth with a 2:30 start.

Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers do battle on the hard court tonight with the Houston Rockets. Tip-off is at 7:30 from Staples Center.
