Remembering 9/11
JP Raineri Spor ts Editor One month of high school football action has now taken place locally, and it happened in the blink of an eye. While there have been four weeks of competition, the schedule notes this past week as Week Three of the prep football season due to Zero Week games. Week Three action took place starting Thursday, Sept. 7, in the southwest Riverside County region, with games concluding Saturday, Sept. 9.

Bryant, normally a receiver, ran for 154 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. Toney ran for 132 yards on 18 carries while Evans completed six passes for 44 yards but did most of the work on the ground with 74 yards on nine carries. The Titans starting QB, Thomas Paschal, threw for 133 yards but left the game in the second half with an injury. Linfield Christian WR John Reynoso finished with four catches for 67 yards, and Dylan Cane had an interception for the Lions. – Action Captures Media Group Rancho Christian - 35, Montclair - 7 Game notes: Rancho Christian High School dominated visiting Montclair High School in their 35-7 win as Blake Nadler threw two first quarter TD passes and the defense stopped the Cavaliers offense in its tracks.

Many motorists using that portion of the northbound freeway may find those changes puzzling, but the changes will be necessary for at least another two years. The purpose is for the city of Temecula to overcome the bottleneck traffic on northbound I-15 between Winchester Road and the I-15/I-215 junction. In this area, the large volumes of vehicles attempting to merge and diverge across four to five lanes of traffic has created a hotspot of congestion and resee PROJECT, page A-6
