THE PREDICTIONS
MASON NESBITT
Signal Sports Editor ANTELOPE VALLEY 28, GOLDEN VALLEY 20
The combo of Antelopes QB Morrell Osling III and tight end Moses Robinson-Carr will be too much this time.
MOORPARK 35, CANYON 21
Moorpark’s high-powered offense will hold back Canyon’s rebound bid for at least one more week.
SAUGUS 21, SANTA BARBARA 14
Centurions quarterback Nathan Eldridge will introduce himself to the SCV with a big first start.
SIMI VALLEY 35, WEST RANCH 24
The Wildcats will push Simi Valley, but their breakthrough won’t come just yet.
TRINITY 28, SILVER VALLEY 27
Game could go either way with Trinity putting a sophomore in at quarterback for his first start.
SCCS 35, HORIZON CHRISTIAN 31
This won’t be a Cardinals rout like last year, but SCCS has enough firepower to get the win.

Morrell Osling III is the quintessential definition of a dualthreat quarterback. The Grizzly defense is going to have their hands full.
MOORPARK 30 CANYON 14
We keep hearing about that Moorpark offense. I think we’ll hear about it Friday night too.
SAUGUS 21, SANTA BARBARA 10
When two offenses are rebounding, you go with the stronger defense.
SIMI VALLEY 27 WEST RANCH 17
It’ll be close, but the Wildcats start the season with a road loss.
TRINITY 24 SILVER VALLEY 14
The Knights start their second year of 11-man football with a ‘W.’
SCCS 35, HORIZON CHRISTIAN 10
The Cardinals are stacked, even in San Diego.

Golden Valley won last year, but Antelope Valley is loaded this year.
MOORPARK 42, CANYON 14
How do you pick against a team that has a guy named “Tyger” at quarterback?
SAUGUS 28, SANTA BARBARA 21
New offenses on both sides make this one hard to predict. The Cents defense may be the key.
SIMI VALLEY 28, WEST RANCH 7
Simi Valley has more depth and experience. I’m still intrigued by West Ranch, though.
SILVER VALLEY 24, TRINITY 14
Trinity mixed up its offense, switching Phineas Yi to QB and Tyler Lee to tight end. That’s a lot to digest.
SCCS 47, HORIZON CHRISTIAN 15
I think SCCS can duplicate last year’s results, even though it’s a long road trip.

Grizzlies’ 2015 may have been historic, but 2016 starts on a low note.
MOORPARK 28, CANYON 14
Canyon showed some promise during the offseason, and they will rebound this season, just not this week.
SAUGUS 35, SANTA BARBARA 7
Centurions open the season with a resounding victory.
SIMI VALLEY 30 WEST RANCH 10
The Chris Varner era begins with a loss as Simi Valley takes down the Wildcats.
TRINITY 21, SILVER VALLEY 14
This won’t be an easy one for the Knights, but they open the 2016 season with a close victory.
SCCS 28, HORIZON CHRISTIAN 0
Cardinals come out of the gates on the winning side with a shutout victory.
