Crazier things have happened, but imagine if Mission Hills Alemany and Santa Margarita made it to the Pac-5 Division championship game.

It would be like the movie, ‘Back to the Future.’ Hart vs. Canyon, Herrington vs. Welch.

Alemany’s coach, Dean Herrington, was the offensive coordinator for many of Hart’s championship teams. Santa Margarita’s coach, Harry Welch, had some epic battles with the Herrington brothers when he coached at Canyon.

Imagine how many ex-Hart and ex-Canyon players might show up for an Alemany-Santa Margarita game. I’d say enough to play an alumni football game.

Of course, there’s a long ways to go. Alemany first must get past Lakewood on Friday in a quarterfinal game at Lakewood, and Santa Margarita faces unbeaten Mission Viejo.

But another Herrington vs. Welch game is something to dream about for football fans in the Santa Clarita Valley.
