I don’t think there’s going to be a better game in Southern California than Upland-Vista Murrieta in the Inland Division semifinal. I’m already at Vista Murrieta watching the sun go down and waiting for lots of people to fill the stadium.

Upland is 12-0 and hasn’t been held to fewer than 49 points in its last five games. Vista Murrieta scored 58 points last week against Riverside North. If there’s any punts in this game, it will be big news.

It’s cool, a little windy and playoff weather for December. I drove 110 miles for this one. I don’t expect to be disappointed.
