MID-VALLEY DIVISION
MONROVIA (8-3) VS. WHITTIER CHRISTIAN (7-4)
Where, when: Whittier College, Friday, 7 p.m.
Outlook: For the third consecutive season, the Heralds face Monrovia in the playoffs. Last season, Monrovia defeated Whittier Christian, 38-8, in the CIF-SS Mid-Valley Division final.
Whittier Christian senior and all-county runner Kellian Hunt has been added as an individual competitor to the sweepstakes race of Saturday’s 45th annual Orange County Championships.
Foothill head coach and meet manager Matt Bell confirmed Hunt’s addition via email.
ST. MARGARET’S (1-1) VS. WHITTIER CHRISTIAN (1-2)
Where, when: Whittier College, Friday, 7 p.m.
Outlook: It’s a matchup of the two best small schools teams in Orange County football. St. Margaret’s lost to Coronado two weeks ago, then rolled to a 44-0 victory over a Washington state team, Orcas Island (where bodysurfing must be as risky as it is at the Wedge, just a different form of risk). Whittier Christian took on a big challenge in Week 0, in which the Heralds lost to Espernza, 49-34. Read the rest of this entry »

Mid-Valley Division
Whittier Christian (12-1) vs. Monrovia (11-2) at Arcadia HS, Saturday, 7:30 p.m.
Analysis: If you have a good passing game at any level of high school football, it is an advantage. At this level, which used to be called Division XI of the CIF-Southern Section’s 13 11-man football divisions, it is a large advantage.
Whittier Christian Stephen Anderson has had a great year, and is Orange County’s leader in passing yardage. Monrovia went into the playoffs as the division’s second-seeded team, and has played like with three one-sided playoff victories. But Monrovia has not faced a passing like the one Whittier Christian will bring to this game.
Prediction: Whittier Christian 21, Monrovia 14
