Yorba Linda, CA — Foothill made the trip to Yorba Linda's stadium on a crisp January evening for the last conference game before they kick off Crestview competition next week. Yorba Linda entered the match with 2 consecutive wins after stunning Canyon 4-3 in comeback fashion two days earlier and Foothill was riding a 3 game win streak into the contest. One win streak would come to an end by the end of the evening.

Santa Ana, CA — The second day of the Winter Showcase at Mater Dei saw Foothill take on Pacifica (Oxnard) at 4pm and Mater Dei face Santa Barbara at 6pm.

Santa Ana, CA — The Foothill Knights came back to Mater Dei as part of a Winter Showcase on Thursday and Friday before the New Year to take on Santa Barbara and Pacifica (Oxnard).

Fullerton, CA — The Knights traveled to Fullerton on Friday evening to take on the Indians on their home field. Foothill met Fullerton twice last season in the Marina Tournament, losing the first contest by a score of 0-5 and then fighting back to the semi final but still losing 0-1 in the last 2 minutes of play. Foothill has been improving as a squad so far this season and looked to steal a win from the favored Fullerton Indians.

Tustin, CA — Foothill welcomed Beckman to the Northrup Stadium for the last leg of the city championship Wednesday night in the pouring rain. Tustin High School had won the city title the previous 2 seasons (22/23 and 21/22) and Foothill needed to go back 7 years to the 2017/18 season for the last time they held that title. Beckman has never held the city title. The Tustin city title is a bit of a misnomer because Beckman is located in the city of Irvine but is part of TUSD and Foothill is technically located in Santa Ana/County of Orange. Regardless, whether it should be called Tustin Unified District Championship or Tustin City Championship, the competition gives friends and families that attend our area schools an opportunity to determine the champion.

Huntington Beach, CA — Foothill met Santa Ana Valley for the first time this year. We had previously played each other in Summer league but chose different options for summer plans and hadn't seen each other in a season or two.

Irvine, CA — Foothill arrived at Northwood on an unbeaten streak but showing the signs of a bit of wear with quite a few players unable to suit up. Foothill had beaten Northwood 5-0 last year in Northrup Stadium. The Knights would not be able to recreate that on the Timberwolves home pitch.

Santa Ana, CA — The Vaqueros of Rancho Alamitos visited the Foothill Knights at home on a chilly Tuesday evening. This was the last of Foothill's stretch of home games and the Knights capped it with a resounding 7-0 victory over the visitors.
