It may have only been the opening game of the 2026 season last Friday, but the Foothill High football team jumped over a hurdle that had been in front of them since mid-November 2025.
Foothill, which had won the South Yosemite Horizon League title thanks to a 36-33 regular-season win against rival Mira Monte, met the Lions again in the CIF playoffs and the latter returned the favor with a 28-7 triumph to knock the Trojans out of the postseason.
