It's Football Friday! Heritage on Road, Paloma Valley at Home

Heritage High School cheerleaders watched the Patriots win their season opener Aug. 30 at home. Tonight, Heritage plays at Beaumont High.

Menifee's varsity high school football teams are back in action tonight as the season moves into its third week.

Paloma Valley will be at home for a 7 p.m. game against West Valley High of Hemet. The Wildcats will be seeking their third straight win, having routed San Bernardino (61-6) and Sultana (64-14). Quarterback Brent Boehm has passed for 346 yards and 7 touchdowns, despite playing only half of last week's lop-sided victory.

West Valley is 1-1 this season. The Mustangs opened the season with a 41-10 win over Indio, then lost a 41-28 decision to Coachella Valley.

Menifee 24/7 will have a tent set up by the snack bar tonight. Fans are invited to stop by and sign up for the chance to win a cap or T-shirt.

Also at 7 p.m., Heritage High will take its 2-0 record to Beaumont High. The Patriots won their first game at home, 37-13 over San Jacinto, then defeated JW North on the road last week, 38-12. Heritage's running game is led by Limihai Hifo (34 carries, 322 yards, 3 TDs) and Sione Takitaki (20 carries, 197 yards, 1 TD).

Beaumont's Cougars are 0-2, losing to Valley View (26-20) and Citrus Valley (30-17).
