Owls to Play For American Division Championship
Citrus College is on the hunt for another championship as the No. 17-ranked Owls take on No. 23-ranked Mt. San Jacinto on Saturday at noon at the Southern California Football Association American Division Championship Bowl.
The Owls enter the championship with a ton of momentum after winning their first conference championship since 2006. Citrus went undefeated on the year with a 10-0 overall and 5-0 American Metro League mark.
As a team, the Owls average 36.3 points per game, which ranks 10th in the CCCAA, and are third in the State with 30 passing touchdowns. Defensively, Citrus has 15 interceptions (fifth in the State) and five defensive touchdowns (fourth in the CCCAA).
Adam Urena leads the Owl offense and sits second in the State with 30 touchdown passes and is third with 265.3 passing yards per game.
The Eagles (9-1) won the American Mountain League championship and look to defend their American Division title from last year. MSJC hasn't lost a game since the first week when it dropped its opener to No. 1-ranked Riverside City College, 59-36.
Kickoff is set for noon at Mt. San Jacinto.
