What are the big games and events during the week ahead in Glendale-area sports ...
It looks to be a monumental week in girls' volleyball, cross-country and football.
On Tuesday, Crescenta Valley's girls' volleyball team hosts Burroughs in a match with postseason and Pacific League positioning at stake. Holy Family's volleyball team hosts Horizon League-power Alverno in a big showdown at 5 p.m. at Pacific Park. And finally, at 6:30 p.m., Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy travels to face arch-nemesis Harvard-Westlake. Also on Tuesday in cross-country action at Crescenta Valley Park, Flintridge Sacred Heart and St. Francis take part in a Mission League tri-meet, in which Harvard-Westlake is involved. Harvard and St. Francis are likely to duel it out for second in league, while reigning champion Sacred Heart finds its most formidable opposition in Harvard.
