• King football team uses clock-eating ground attack to beat Temecula Valley (modbee.com) — Temecula Valley's football team fell 17-7 to King after struggling to move the ball and losing starting quarterback Caden Chrisman early to concussion protocol. Despite a strong defensive effort and a key fumble recovery before halftime, the Golden Bears couldn't overcome King's clock-chewing run game. Temecula fans can now look ahead to a crosstown showdown when Temecula Valley hosts Great Oak next week.
