Diving touchdown! Wittek leads Monarchs to thrilling Trinity league win

The Trinity League just got a whole lot tougher.

As if powerhouses Mater Dei, Orange Lutheran, and Servite weren't enough. Here comes the other guys.

JSerra is 5-0, and ranked #9 in the county . St. John Bosco was ranked 11th in the state coming into this game. And Santa Margarita is 4-1, while ranked 4th in the county.

Meanwhile, Mater Dei has awakened from their 0-2 nightmare, Orange Lutheran is a respectable 3-2, and Servite may be the best team in the state.

Good luck to coaches Bruce Rollinson, Jim Kunau, Troy Thomas, Jason Negro, Harry Welch, and Jim Hartigan. Lots of sleepless nights are ahead of you.

As far as Mater Dei defeating St. John Bosco was concerned, Max Wittek made the big plays when he had to, and Victor Blackwell was there to receive them. The combo continues to be one of the deadliest the county has ever seen, and only stands to get better as the season progresses. Scary thought isn't it?

Mater Dei faces Orange Lutheran next week. The Lancers know Blackwell and Wittek well.

Blackwell torched OLu with a Mater Dei record 257 receiving yards and three touchdowns last year. But it's Orange Lutheran that has defeated Mater Dei five straight.

I'm sure it'll be just another night in the Trinity League.
