Outlook: We all knew the Trinity League would come down to this right. At least that’s what Fox Sports was hoping when it announced its regular-season schedule.

The Monarchs, suddenly with the balanced offensive attack and stingy defense, are one step away from claiming their first outright Trinity League title. B

But they’re going to have to get through Orange Lutheran and that hasn’t been easy in recent years. Orange Lutheran has won the previous three meetings and four of the last five.

Mater Dei defeated St. John Bosco, 35-6 without a big game from Matt Barkley. Barkley passed for 160 yards, two interceptions and no touchdowns.

They wouldn’t have lost that game if it were played earlier in the year, but this is your new and improved Monarchs.

The Lancers bounced back after their loss to Servite with a 49-28 victory over Santa Margarita. The Lancers had two rushers top 100 yards (Kyle Dravis and Damani Wilson).

That running game will be important in order to keep Barkley off the field. I have a feeling that he will throw for more than 160 yards.

Can the Mater Dei offensive line hold up against the Orange Lutheran pressure?

How will the Mater Dei receivers fare against the tandem of defensive back tandem of Terrence Brown and Gabe Lemon?

Has Jaron Hytche clinched Trinity League Offense MVP yet?
