La Jolla's 2015 football schedule has the Vikings playing three games on Mission Bay's brand new field, and two games each at Country Day and University City as they travel throughout the fall while their new home field is installed beginning this summer.
Homecoming will be a rare experience on the road, with that event and Senior Night coming on the same night November 6 against Point Loma at University City. That will mark the final game in the regular season in the Western League.
A big change in starting times, due to having to share facilities with other schools, comes with 5 p.m. games on Friday nights the following dates: Sept. 4 against Bishop's and Sept. 18 versus West Hills, both at Mission Bay. A 6 p.m. starting time is scheduled Sept. 11 against Fallbrook, and Homecoming Nov. 6 against Point Loma, both at University City.
Beyond the unique situation of having to play all games on the road in 2015, including home games in the CIF playoffs in November, Coach Jason Carter has put together an interesting palette of games in his third season at the helm.
Carter's team vies against his former team, Country Day, for the second season in a row. This year it will come in the second week of the season. Last year LJCD hosted the season opener.
Bishop's and La Jolla have scheduled a rematch of their clash last season in the third week. Fallbrook travels down to UC in week number four for a reprise of the explosive 100-plus-point game between LJHS and Fallbrook played in North County in 2014. That will also mark Blastoff.
Christian, whom La Jolla played in the CIF playoffs last November, becomes a regular season opponent this time around in week seven.
Finally, Imperial, whom the Vikings have not faced in recent memory, provides the opening game opposition on Sat., Aug. 22, at Country Day at 7 p.m. That event is part of what is being called the Kickoff Classic.
