Who had Palisades (7-0) and Hamilton (6-0) being unbeaten going into next week’s Western League game, now a title decider? Has anyone noticed that Lake Balboa Birmingham, after going 0-5 playing Southern Section opponents, has outscored City Section opponents Westchester and Taft 99-0?
There’s still three weeks left in the regular season, with many big games ahead. On Friday night, the West Valley League title should be decided with Granada Hills playing at Birmingham.

Dorsey (5-2, 2-0) and Crenshaw (3-2, 2-0) are on a collision course to face off for the Coliseum League title on Oct. 29 at Rancho Cienega Park. Mychai Williams of Dorsey has set a school record for most interceptions in a season with eight.
In the Northern League, Lincoln (7-0, 2-0) and Franklin (6-1, 2-0) are two weeks away from playing for the title.
