October 14, 2022 (Spring Valley) - After skipping an uneventful week last week, ECM Sports is back on the gridiron for our first visit to Steele Canyon High School on Senior Night.  Unfortunately, it’s a sad one; the Cougars are having an abysmal season at 1-6.  Tonight, they played host to the Highlanders of Helix, who boast a fairly solid 5-2 record.

Story and photos by Liz Alper
 
October 22, 2021 (La Mesa) - It has been far, far too long since ECM Sports was on the gridiron for some good old-fashioned Friday Night Lights.  But tonight, we are back in La Mesa for one game that’s always fun to watch.  Grossmont vs. Helix.  Foothillers vs. Scottie dawgs.  The two teams met on Jim Arnaiz Field for the annual Battle for the Musket.  The Highlanders are 4-3 overall and 1-0 so far in the Grossmont Hills League, while the Hillers aren’t faring as well at 3-5 overall, but still 1-0 in league play.  The Scotties have possession of the Musket, beating the Hillers in the makeshift football season in the spring 49-35.  Click the cut to see if they got to keep it on their Senior Night.

October 19, 2018 (El Cajon) - Unbelievable that it’s late October already, but we’re already on week nine of the prep football season and ECM Friday Night Lights is at Granite Hills for what should be a high-scoring matchup between the undefeated-in-league (5-3 overall, 3-0 league) Scottie Dawgs from Helix and the undefeated-in-every-sense-of-the-word Eagles (8-0 overall, 3-0 league).  The winner of this game is crowned the Grossmont Hills Championship game winner.
