CIF recently announced the new league alignments that will begin next fall. As you can see, the Sierra League is definitely getting beefed up with Charter Oak. The still ever tough Baseline League sees the addition of Glendora to the list. Interesting move as the Tartans have really been the team in the Sierra League that keeps people on their toes. I like the combination of the Miramonte and San Antonio League and of course the addition of Diamond Bar. It’s been tough for the Brahmas in the Sierra League, but it doesn’t get easier with Los Altos, Rowland, West Covina, Walnut and Diamond Ranch. For Diamond Bar locals it’s been a rivalry game between Walnut and Diamond Bar with the Branding Iron game, but now Diamond Ranch is in the picture where players from Diamond Bar attend Diamond Ranch if they don’t live in a particular boundary in Diamond Bar. So, the City will get two rivalry games in the season.  As for the Mt. Baldy league, it’s another meaningful match-up for Chino and Don Lugo as they usually meet up for the Milk Can game in non-league action, but this time it league action as well and Coach Greg Setlitch faces his old team.

In all, I like the changes and it makes a lot of sense and should bring great local football to all areas of the CIF Southern Section. Tell me your thoughts and do you agree or disagree with the changes?

Baseline League: Alta Loma, Etiwanda, Glendora, Los Osos, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland
Sierra League: Ayala, Charter Oak, Chino Hills, Claremont, Damien/St. Lucy’s, South Hills
Miramonte/San Antonio League: Bonita, Diamond Bar, Diamond Ranch, Los Altos, Rowland, Walnut, West Covina
Mt. Baldy League: Chaffey, Chino, Colony, Don Lugo, Garey, Montclair, Ontario
Valle Vista League: Baldwin Park, Covina, Nogales, Northview, Pomona, San Dimas, Wilson

It was definitely the most exciting game of Week 3 in the Non-League season. The Diamond Ranch Panthers and the Chino Hills Huskies went down to the final 2.2 seconds of the game and ended in dramatic fashion. It was another game that I will never forget.

Speaking of games never to forget, there is also another Chino Hills game that I will never forget. I know the Huskies faithful will cringe, but the game against Damien was the same scenario where it came down to the final seconds. I believe it was .2 seconds left.

Of course, another game that Huskies fans also never forget are the annual games against cross town rivals the Ayala Bulldogs. They unofficially call it the, “Battle of the Bone.” Now it’s even spun off to the name “Battle of the Dog Pound.” Whatever you want to call name this game is just a minor point to a game that brings out the community to watch two of the Sierra League’s best hammer it out.

So, do you have a Chino Hills Huskies never forget game that you want to share with us, then tell us here on the blog or if the ones I mentioned bring you back memories, tell us your thoughts on the game and what you were doing when it all came down to the wire.

By the way, if you want to relive those games I mentioned above, the Week 3 Game video is on the website, the Damien game is on video here on one of the past blogs. If you can’t find it, just google it and I know it’s on YouTube. As for the Ayala vs. Chino Hills game, if we receive enough requests and feedback from you the fans, then we will bring you the game possibly in a full game broadcast or at least in highlights if we can’t bring the full game to you.
