Moseying around on the Internet, I found La Jolla High's football opener versus Bishop's this Thurs., Aug. 18, at Edwards Field is one of only three San Diego Section games scheduled that night: LJ-Bishop's (7 p.m.); Sweetwater at Mount Miguel (6:30 p.m.); and Calexico at Palo Verde Valley (7 p.m.).
That last one should be a scorcher (I mean temperature-wise), having attended a game La Jolla played some years ago in El Centro. I can still feel the heat.
Bishop's is ranked number 24 by MaxPreps. That should be interesting. Who have they got? I just submitted an article for Wed., Aug. 17, for the La Jolla Village News, and all I did was preview La Jolla High coach Tyler Roach's ability to come up with a wrinkle most seasons. I didn't investigate the opponent. I may have something to learn.
Another interesting tidbit is that the Open Division championship Nov. 18 will be played at new Snapdragon Stadium, capacity 35,000. SDSU opens that facility with the Aztecs' 2022 inaugural versus Arizona.
The other divisions will have to play somewhere else, because SDSU has a scheduling conflict, with its last regular-season game Nov. 26 against Air Force. All divisions but Open have an extra layer of playoffs, so their title tilts come the weekend of Nov. 25-26.
