Week 10 has come and gone for the area high school football teams, and there was a lot of moving and shaking going on for the postseason. In a must-win matchup, Temecula Valley defeated crosstown rival Great Oak 17-10 in their Big West Conference-Lower Division showdown. With the win, combined with Murrieta Mesa’s victory over King, the Golden Bears (6-4, 3-2) clinched an automatic berth in the CIF Southern Section playoffs, Despite the loss, Great Oak (6-4, 4-1) will share the Big West Conference Lower Division title with Murrieta Mesa. Both teams have now won their first-ever league championship. Neither team had ever finished in the top spot of the Southwestern League.
The Centennial Huskies claimed its second consecutive league championship with a 42-0 victory over Norco, given them claim to the first-ever title in the newly created Big West Conference-Upper Division.
The Ivy League was fun to sort out, especially with four teams tied for second-place. When the dust settled, Orange Vista was the first to four wins, beating Rancho Verde to claim the league title. The Coyotes will move on, as will Elsinore and J.W. North, who both had three league wins.
Also, let us not forget about the 8-man Majestic League and the two local programs meeting up this week with a league title on the line. Both Cornerstone Christian and Cal. Lutheran have won three straight games to get to this final matchup, which went the way of Cornerstone.
