Fryer on football: St. Margaret’s vs. Whittier Christian

September 21st, 2011, 4:59 pm by Steve Fryer

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 »
