There are a lot of great games on the schedule this weekend, and I was wondering -- what’s the greatest rivalry in Southern California?

I narrowed down the list to 13 games, but feel free to use the comment board if you think I missed someone. By the way, I didn’t forget about South East and South Gate. I just think these two teams need to play a few more years before we can describe the matchup as one of the best rivalries in the region.

Also, I realize the Foothill League is competitive, but what is Santa Clarita’s biggest rivalry? Traditionally, it seems like everyone considers Hart as the team to beat, but the rivalry with the Indians seems to rotate continually between Canyon, Saugus and Valencia.
