The Baseline League Title is on the line Friday with Upland at Rancho Cucamonga...I saw Rancho Cuc on a Thursday night against Norco and would have never guessed they could be competitive against Upland in week 10...But something has changed since they started the season 0-4...Upland has had a nice season but their only signature wins are against La Habra and Redlands East Valley...Those are nice victories, but against schools they should defeat...

Will this be a classic match-up on Friday...or are the Highlanders just better?

It doesn't necessarily have to be tonight, but which team seeded #1 do you think is most likely to see an early exit across all divisions. To me it's Katella in Division 8, I think their soft schedule comes back to bite them

2 touchdowns runs by Kavika Tua and 2 interceptions for TD's spark Oceanside in D I CIF win



By David A. Willauer-Contributing Writer-Oceanside High School-Oceanside, CA-11-2-18: In a CIF Division I First Round Football Matchup The Otay Ranch Mustangs thought they had things their way as they jumped out to an early 7-0 lead on Garrick Flyer's (3 carries for 32 yards) 7 yard run.

The Pirates of Oceanside went ahead on 2 Kavika Tua (10 carries for 44 yards) touchdown runs of 6 and 4 yards and took a 14-7 lead.

After a safety and the Mustangs scored 2 points to go within 14-9, Trejon Apodaca ran a 30 yard interception return to put the Pirates up 20-15.

Otay Ranch came back with 2:44 left in the 4th quarter as qb Jonte Stewart (14 completions out of 34 attempts for 166 yards and had 18 carries for 83) and 2 interceptions threw a 3 yard pass to Nick Isley with the Pat failed came within 20-15.

After the touchdown the Mustangs decided to do the onside kick and recovered the fumble at the 35 yard line and drove down the field. Jacquez Goodson made the key interception of the game as he ran 99 yards for a touchdown with the PAT by Matt Robinson good to make the final score Oceanside 27 Otay Ranch 15.

Jaquez Goodsen: "Coach Rodriguez told me to play man coverage on defense, I came in motion and saw the receiver do an out route, my job was to key on my opponent all the time and we led 20-15, we thought that we played our best all season and waited for my teammates to help make the tackles." "On the interception that I made for the score the receiver turned his hips and my responsibility is to followed in front of him and ran 99 yards for the touchdown."

With the win the 6-5 Oceanside Pirates will travel to Eastlake High School in a quarter final game next Friday kickoff at 7 PM in Chula Vista, CA. Otay Ranch finished their season at 6-5.

This is a game, perhaps, years in the making...No question both teams are talented...but while Heritage was facing off with the likes of REV, Orange Lutheran, and Cajon...Rancho Verde was playing Bonita Vista, Grossmont, and Hawkins (teams with a combined record of 5-22)...Will the scheduling difference matter on Friday Night?

Two completely different styles of football battling it out for one league championship...Who do you feel has the upper hand?

Notre Dame 21 Citrus Valley 0 Half
Kaiser 13 Sultana 9 Half

Here are just a few games I find interesting. I wish I could see them all.

Rancho Cucamonga at Vista Murrieta: I love this match-up for both schools. I saw Vista last week vs. Murrieta Valley. Their QB is a hard nosed football player that willed his team to victory. They will be a tough opponent. I saw Rancho Cuc early in the season before they were a complete team. I would have never guessed, when I saw them, that they would defeat Upland and win the Baseline League title. They are on a roll. This one could be a classic.

Redlands East Valley at Norco: I think a lot of Norco. They have a balanced offensive attack and play sound defense. I would be surprised to see them lose this game, but it can happen. This is a rematch from Week 4 when Norco won 52-37. It is tough to beat the same team twice in one season. REV is a quality opponent, and I have to believe they get a slight advantage because they lost earlier. But will it be enough to win in the playoffs? We will see.

Heritage at Upland: Two teams that perhaps went into week 10 just a little overrated and came out on the losing end of their respective league championship games. Which one is better prepared to bounce back. I think a lot of Coach Broach and his staff with the Patriots. They will be tough, physical, and ready. Coach Salter is not exactly new to this playoff thing, and in fact, he has only lost one first round playoff game dating back to 2008. What happens when an immovable object comes up against an unstoppable force? The answer may lie in this game Friday night.

Just a couple of thoughts.

Good Luck To All. Stay Healthy.

what division is your team in?predict the first round

The Culver City Centaurs (8-2, 4-1) closed out their regular season with an easy 70-6 victory over the Beverly Hills Normans (2-8, 0-5). There will be no easy teams in the playoffs though and the Centaurs did manage to draw a first round home game, perhaps as the third or 4th seed.

But the opponent will be the Santa Barbara Dons (6-4, 3-2) who finished in a three way tie for second place in the Channel League. The local Santa Barbara paper says they like to change their name to the "Golden Tornadoes" whenever they make the playoffs. The Dons needed to win their final game against the Dos Pueblos Chargers (6-4, 3-2) to achieve the playoff spot they got with the good luck of a favorable draw among Channel League teams when a tiebreaker is needed. They beat the Chargers 24-7 but the heavy running Chargers did keep the game close for quite awhile. The Dons had only a 6-0 lead at the half. After falling further behind, the Chargers were threatening to tie it up in the final minute of the third quarter. But sophomore back-up QB Deacon Hill connected with junior WR Jackson Gonzales on a screen pass that went 59 yards for a TD with good blocking. Backup Dons QB Deacon Hill will likely be the starter for the Dons in the playoffs as regular starter Frank Gambardella suffered a fractured collar bone in the prior week's game.

It looks like both of these teams like to run a spread offense dominated by their passing games. There is the possibility of a high scoring affair in this contest. The Dons have scored as many as 54 points in one contest and not allowed more than 34 in any one game and that was to a very good Pacifica (9-1) of Oxnard team. The Centaurs have scored 70 once, 60+ three other times, and never less than 27 in any one game this year. It will be interesting to see if the Dons can slow them down.

The playoff team busses for the Dons and the Dos Pueblos Chargers could draft each other on the freeway as they are both heading to the southbay as the Chargers drew an even tougher game against the Lawndale Cardinals (8-2, 5-0).The Chargers may catch one break and that is that senior star running back Jordan Wilmore has not been playing recently for the Cardinals. His status is unknown, so it is possible he could be back for this game. The Cardinals have been doing pretty well without him.

The Cardinals have held 6 opponents to 7 points or less. Without the services of Wilmore, lately, the Cardinals have been relying on the legs and arms junior QB Jalon Daniels, who I believe transferred from Narbonne after losing his starting job there. Senior WR/FS Stan Livingstone is a talented and dangerous target. The interior lines are big and loaded with talent including a somewhat smaller sized Naki Fahina.

The only other playoff team from the Ocean League are the Hawthorne Cougars (6-4, 3-2). They made it into the playoffs in Division 12, perhaps aided by a forfeit loss by the Santa Monica Vikings. The Cougars will have to travel to Arcadia to take on the Rio Hondo Prep Kares (6-3). The Kares are favored by 13 points. After watching their lackluster play against the Centaurs, I expect a 1 and done exit from the playoffs for the Cougars. They did not have their star QB for the last game of the season.

First place teams are always guaranteed a first round playoff home game. In div 1 there are nine first place teams, which means someone has to play a road game in the first round, doensnt seem right for some team.

I see 19 teams battling for 16 playoff spots this final regular season weekend.
Northview Vikings(9-0, 4-0) IN from first place
Culver City Centaurs(7-2, 3-1) IN from 2cnd place
Citrus Valley(6-3, 2-2) ON THE BUBBLE from 3rd place or at-large

Santa Barbara Dons(6-4, 3-2) IN from 2cnd place selection out of tied league group
Elsinore(4-5, 1-1) OUT, unless they beat Temescal Canyon(3-5, 1-1) this week.
Santa Ynez(5-4, 2-2) ON THE BUBBLE gotta win and hope for an at-large entry
LaQuinta Blackhawks(5-4, 3-1) IN? if they win their final game, from 2cnd place, otherwise hoping for an at-large
Newport Harbor Sailors(3-5-1, 0-4) OUT
Troy(3-6, 2-2) IN, if they win from 3rd place.
Pacifica(4-5, 2-2) ON THE BUBBLE, maybe from 3rd place, or can try for an at-large should they not have won the coin flip for third place with a tie. They MUST win Friday to have this opportunity.
El Segundo Eagles(4-5, 1-3) ON THE BUBBLE, MUST win a tough game against Santa Monica and have favorable tie-breaker for third place. Could still try for an at-large if they win and don't own the favorable tie-breaker for third place.
St. Anthony Saints(3-7, 2-2) OUT
Buena Bulldogs(3-6, 2-2) ON THE BUBBLE. Must own a favorable tiebreaker for third place
Thousand Oaks(0-9, 0-3) OUT
Buena Park(3-6, 1-3) OUT, unless they can beat powerhouse La Habra
La Salle(0-9, 0-3) OUT

Who's got 'em? I hope you didn't click this thread thinking I did.

King Marques I played the role of spoiler this week; winning 23 games to take the final STAR...It is his third STAR of the season.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Week 10 saw the favorites go 29-5, straight up. On the season the favorites finish 299-74 straight up.

Jason Heine and Max Bingham pace undefeated Torrey Pines to a 38-0 win in Beach Bowl

By David A. Willauer-Contributing Writer-Friday, October 26, 2018-LaCosta Canyon High School-Carlsbad, CA: Early touchdowns by USC baseball bound Max Bingham's 32 yard run 19 carries for 164 yards 7-0 and Caleb Jackson's 6 carries for 42 yards scored on a 12 yard run to go up 14-0 but Falcon qb Jason Heine was the star of the show as he scored 3 touchdown runs of 9, 32 and 32 along with 6 carries for 90 yards paced the top ranked and undefeated Torrey Pines Falcons at 9-0 by a 38-0 score in the 25th Beach Bowl rivalry with the winner of the game gets a Golden Surfboard.

Jason Heine: : "I ran three option plays for my three touchdowns as I give credit to the offensive line and they blocked well left open holes for us in this 25th meeting," "We prepared for LaCosta Canyon as like every game for the crowd but this is more of a rivalry game." This was one of my better performances throughout the whole game from the very first drive we were all in and knew that we couldn't be stopped." "As we prepare for the CIF we need to come out every contest but this is all about the playoffs."

The Falcons lead the series 16-9 (these schools have played each other in CIF Playoffs twice each winning 1 game). Lacosta Canyon's last win was a 13-3 win under Head Coach Sean Sovacool in 2015.

Both schools will await on who they will play in the CIF San Diego Section Playoffs.

Former LaCosta Canyon Head Coach 2008 CIF Section Football Champs partake in coin toss

By David A. Willauer-Lacosta Canyon High School-Carlsbad, CA: It was an exciting year here on the campus of LaCosta Canyon High School as the 2008 CIF Section Title Maverick Football squad, was honored along with their former boss Darrin Brown who was named the Honorary Captain and participated in the coin toss.

Coach Darren Brown is currently teaching at Carmel Valley Middle School with his wife of 23 years Michele who teaches at Oak Crest Middle School.

While with the Mavericks Darrin Brown coached the football team for 10 years finished with a 63-39 record along with 1 CIF Section Title where they defeated Escondido at Qualcolm Stadium 42-28 . Along with football, Coach Brown had coached Boys Volleyball from 1997 to 2000 where they won 4 league titles and 3 CIF Championships. 3 of former LaCosta Canyon players that Coach Brown coached are currently in the NFL. Wide Receiver Kenny Stills, Eric Magnuson currently with the San Francisco 49ers and Scott Quisenberry with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Former Coach Darrin Brown on his reunion at LaCosta Canyon: "There's nothing better then enoying high school football on a Friday Night and Coach Sovocool has done a great job of keeping the tradition going." "It's our 10 year reunion for us and I'm glad to meet with some of the former players tonight, it is the only CIF Championship that has ever been won in 2008."

"One of my former players and quarterback is Sebastian Frausto that played for me on the 2008 CIF Title Team and who did all the dirty work to get the job done and we have a ton of great football players here tonight."

"Our squad won the only 2008 CIF Section title with a 42-28 win over Escondido as we had a big lead everybody came in and let our 2nd and 3rd string players to play on the field at SDCCU Stadium."

"Right now I am coaching my girls and being a father."

It amazes me how fast the High School Football season goes...Here we are in Week 10...we have the DRAMA of our championship coming down to the last week between FmrOlineguy and D5fan...Will one of them win a fifth STAR and claim the title outright?...Or are they destined to share the Title...Don't forget, we have posters with no STARs whatsoever...This is it; one last shot for them to win a STAR...And then there are those like myself who would just like to win one more time before the season is over.

No matter what camp you are in, good luck in the final week.
_______________________________________________________________________________

Simple contest. You pick the winner of each high school game with the point spread included. The poster who picks the most games correctly wins the contest.
______________________________________________________________________________

Example: Norco is playing Centennial. Centennial is favored by 17 1/2 points. The line will look this way:

Centennial -17 1/2 Norco

If you choose Centennial. They must win by 18 points for you to win.
If you choose Norco. They must keep the game within 17 points for you to win.

Friday night, Centennial beats Norco 34-21. Centennial wins the game by 13 therefore those that took Centennial get a loss in our contest; those that took Norco get a win.

The poster with the most wins is our Victor.
______________________________________________________________________________

What do you win? STARS. Since there is no money involved, we play for STARS! The poster with the most correct picks, wins that week's STAR.

The poster with the most STARS at the end of the season becomes our CHAMPION.

The Northview Vikings (9-0, 4-0) continue to be the top ranked team in Division 7 according to calpreps.com. They easily dispensed with the Rowland Raiders (4-5, 1-3) in their Valle Vista league game by a score of 45-0. Next week they will play the toughest team they have faced all year in the San Dimas Saints (8-1, 4-0), and this game will determine the Valle Vista League championship. The good news for the loser of next week's game is that they will both likely have a game the following Friday in the playoffs despite the results this Friday. These teams will finish first and second in league and both will likely get selections for the playoffs. San Dimas is rated #2 in Division 8 according to calpreps.com ratings. Obviously a highly recommended game for competitive entertainment value.

The Culver City Centaurs (7-2, 3-1) are rated #2 by calpreps.com. The Centaurs dominated the Hawthorne Cougars (5-4, 2-2) by a score of 62-14 to lock up any doubt about them making the playoffs. They still are mathematically challenged to stay in second in the Ocean League but that is just on paper as the Beverly Hills Normans (2-7, 0-4) stand no chance of defeating the Centaurs.

#3 are the Citrus Valley Blackhawks (6-3, 2-2) who suffered through their second consecutive Citrus Belt League loss, this time to powerhouse Redlands East Valley (6-3, 3-1) by a score of 49-14. The Blackhawks are currently in a third place tie with the Yucaipa Thunderbirds (5-4, 2-2). Both teams have achieved the 5 win minimum to apply for an at-large playoff berth but only the winner of their final league game, against each other, can claim guaranteed playoff eligibility. Another highly recommended Valle Vista game for the final week of the season. The loser could find themselves unable to garner a playoff spot.

#4 are the San Jacinto Tigers (8-1, 3-1). The Tigers lost to Mountain Pass league favorites, Citrus Hill (9-0, 4-0) by a score of 21-13. This weekend the Tigers face a much easier opponent, the Tahquits Titans (6-3, 1-3). Calpreps.com is projecting a 44-7 victory for the Tigers which would be a very good thing for them because it allows them to lock up sole posession of 2nd place and guaranteed playoff eligibility in Division 7.

two possessions in...

MV had one good drive. They moved the ball but couldn't finish the drive and a three and out.

Vista has -1 yards offense

Big game for the title. I haven't seen MV this year, but the D is giving up alot of points to teams VM crushed. Does it come down to how many stops each D can make? I think if VM can play a relatively clean game they should be able to take this one. But it is a rivalry game so ya never know.

The Culver City Centaurs (7-2, 3-1) easily handled the Hawthorne Cougars (5-4, 2-2) in a laughable 62-14 victory last Friday. The Cougars offensive play was sloppy. The special teams were stupid in the case of a punt from 4th and very long deep in their own territory and the Cougar punter appeared to decide he would try to run for the first down. He made a good run but it was 4th & LONG in their OWN side of the field. He did not make it and on the very next play the Centaurs tossed a TD pass to add insult to injury. The Centaurs were up 49-0 with 6:38 still left to be played in the second quarter!

There was lots of playing time for back-ups. While mathematically the Centaurs could still drop into a third place tie in the Ocean League, it ain't gonna happen as they are playing the cellar dwelling Beverly Hills Normans (2-7, 0-4).

Hawthorne's task is substantially more difficult as the Cougars will travel to face the Lawndale Cardinals (7-2, 4-0). It appears the Cardinals might have played last week without the services of their star RB Jordan Wilmore. But the Cardinals still managed to dominate the El Segundo Eagles (4-5, 1-3) by a score of 22-7. Hawthorne already has the needed 5 wins to apply for an at-large playoff spot in Division 12 but it remains to be seen whether the field might be too crowded for the Cougars to get in. We will have to wait & see how everything shakes out after next week's games.

The remaining contest has El Segundo traveling to face the Santa Monica Vikings (4-5, 2-2) in a key battle for the third & final guaranteed playoff entry spot. If the Eagles win, they are slight favorites, they will make a three way tie for third place with each team having lost to one of the other.
