INLAND FIELDHOUSE

I was 9-6 with my picks. Let’s see if I can’t do better this week.

HIGH SCHOOL:

Riverside North at Riverside King — Senior running backs Sadale Foster (5-foot-8, 190 pounds) and E.J. Schexnayder (6-0, 215) continue to lead the Huskies (2-1), who are coming off a 41-21 non-league loss to L.A. Crenshaw last week. Junior RB Todd Handley (5-9, 175) sets the pace for the Wolves (1-2), averaging 143 rushing yards and two touchdowns per game. North’s combination of size and strength will prove too much for King. NORTH 31, KING 21.

Riverside Poly at Corona Santiago — Junior RB Jaron Farmer (5-10, 170) is averaging 107 rushing yards and two TDs a game for the Bears (2-1), who are coming off a 42-23 non-league loss to Riverside Arlington. Senior RB Derrick Hawkins (5-11, 205) and senior QB Brandon Connette (6-2, 190) lead a balanced offensive attack for the Sharks (1-2), who have lost two consecutive after winning their season opener. As close a game as there’ll be tonight. SANTIAGO 20, POLY 18.

Eastvale Roosevelt at Corona Centennial — The Mustangs (3-0) have surprised many this season. Led by sophomore QB Aaron Crone (6-0, 180), Roosevelt has averaged nearly 450 total yards per game in posting non-league victories over Torrance, L.A. Westchester and Bloomington. Junior QB Michael Eubank (6-5, 250) is averaging 162 total yards a game for the Huskies (2-1), who defeated Clovis West 41-23 in Week 3. In a matchup that could ultimately determine the Big VIII League title, Centennial’s experience in big games will be the difference. CENTENNIAL 38, ROOSEVELT 32.

Redlands East Valley at Rialto Eisenhower — Senior QB Tyler Shreve (6-4, 225) produced some heroics in Week 3, leading the Wildcats (3-0) to a last-second touchdown and a 20-14 victory over Orange Lutheran. The competition should ease some as they begin Citrus Belt League play. Senior QB Richard Redd (6-2, 195) commands the offense for the Eagles (3-0), who have been outscored 141-59 thus far. Redd is averaging 295 total yards per game. REV 42, EISENHOWER 12.

Riverside Arlington at Moreno Valley Rancho Verde — Junior RB Superiorr Reid (6-3, 215) has been pretty good this season, averaging 135 rushing yards and two TDs through three games for the Lions (3-0), who seem to score most of their points after halftime and are only averaging close to 33 per game. Conversely, the Mustangs (3-0) have averaged 47 points per game and have had little trouble scoring in all quarters in non-league wins over L.A. Freemont, Yucaipa and Murrieta Valley. RANCHO VERDE 31, ARLINGTON 20.

Perris Citrus Hill at Banning — The streak continues as the Hawks (3-0), led by the powerful running of senior Deontae Cooper (6-1, 205), take 30 consecutive victories on the road. Cooper has run for 887 yards (295 per game average) and 10 TDs. Senior QB Derron Smith (5-11, 176) is averaging 170 rushing yards and 106 passing yards per game and has nine total TDs for the Broncos (2-1), who have won two consecutive. CITRUS HILL 37, BANNING 23.

San Jacinto vs. Riverside Notre Dame — Senior QB Nigel Barksdale (5-10, 16) has passed for 536 yards, rushed for a team-high 281 yards and have 10 total TDs for the Tigers (3-0), who haven’t been challenged this year, outscoring opponents 134-44 thus far. Senior QB Chris Lopez (6-0, 180) and senior TE/LB Jake Duncan (6-0, 225) lead the Titans (3-0), who are coming off a 27-10 win over Desert Hot Springs. Lopez and Duncan have connected for five touchdown completions. I’m covering this game so I will not be predicting an outcome.

Upland at Bloomington — Junior QB Justin Nunes (5-11, 175), whose older brother, Josh, is now a freshman at Stanford, splits time under center with senior Harrison Stewart (6-1, 180). Nunes has more completions (23 to 20) but Stewart has thrown each of the Highlanders’ (4-0) four touchdown passes. Junior RB Edward Randolph (5-8, 210) has run for 395 yards and four TDs for the Bruins (2-1), who are coming off a 51-0 loss to Eastvale Roosevelt. UPLAND 27, BLOOMINGTON 24.

La Quinta at San Bernardino Cajon — Junior RB Chyl Robinson (6-0, 178) sees the ball a lot (61 of 117 team rushes) but has yet to score for the Blackhawks (1-2), who have one of the toughest non-league schedules in the Inland Empire. La Quinta defeated Corona Santiago in Week 1 before losing to Colton and Norco in Weeks 2 and 3, respectively. The Cowboys (2-1), who hit a speed bump in Week 3 in losing 20-0 to Fontana Kaiser, are led by senior QB Thomas Carter (5-10, 175). Despite last week’s loss, Carter is still averaging 253 total yards per game and has 11 total TDs this year. CAJON 22, LA QUINTA 19.

Ontario Chaffey at Colton — Senior RB Ronald Douglas averages 178 yards and nine points per game for the Tigers (2-2), who are coming off a 34-7 non-league victory over La Puente Nogales. Senior RB Derrick Malone (6-2, 205) leads the Yellowjackets (2-1) with 280 rushing yards on 27 carries (10.4 average). COLTON 17, CHAFFEY 7.

Temecula Great Oak at Elsinore — Senior QB Bubba Luna (6-0, 180) is a run-pass threat for the Wolfpack (3-1), whose only loss came to Perris Citrus Hill in Week 2. Senior RB Jon Maricic (5-10, 225) has run for 618 yards (154 per game average) and five TDs for the Tigers (4-0), who are off to one of the better starts in school history. ELSINORE 26, GREAT OAK 21.

Chino at Etiwanda — Things couldn’t get much worse for head coach Greg Setlich and the Cowboys (0-3), who have scored just 16 points this season. Senior QB Angel Santiago (5-10, 173) has passed for 598 yards and has a team-high 275 rushing yards and 10 total TDs for the Eagles (2-1), who are coming of 10-point loss to Norco in Week 3. ETIWANDA 42, CHINO 6.

Rancho Cucamonga Colony at Fontana Kaiser — Senior RB Jamil Austin (5-9, 180) has run for 512 yards and four TDs for the Titans (3-1), who are riding a three-game winning streak. Defense is name of the game for the Cats (2-1), who are coming off a shutout victory over San Bernardino Cajon and have held teams to just over 10 points per game. KAISER 18, COLONY 14.

Mission Viejo at Murrieta Valley — The second-to-last of the big Orange County vs. Inland Empire matchups of the non-league season. The Diablos (4-0) are led by three solid seniors (QB Dallin McEwen, RB Exavier Edwards and WR Joey Branker) who have helped the team average 42 points per game. Senior QB Nathan Matlock (5-10, 175) has thrown for 871 yards and eight touchdowns, and senior RB A.J. Moore (5-11, 190) has run for 334 yards and six touchdowns to lead a balanced offensive attack for the Nighthawks (2-1), who are coming off 56-3 blasting of Hemet in Week 3. MISSION VIEJO 24, MURRIETA VALLEY 17.

Anaheim Servite at Temecula Chaparral — The last of the big O.C. vs. I.E. matchups of the non-league season. The Friars (3-1) are coming off a lopsided 23-9 loss to Huntington Beach Edison in Week 3 but this is still the same team that has beaten state powers Long Beach Poly and Fresno Clovis West THIS SEASON. Senior QB Mitch Glasmann has thrown for 812 yards and 10 TDs — six to junior WR Antoine Arnold (6-5, 185) — to lead the Pumas (2-1), who are coming into the game with consecutive victories. CHAPARRAL 45, SERVITE 42.
