I thought that line would pull you into this . . .
Anyway, my thoughts on some of the games of the second week of the prep football season . . .
TONIGHT
Wilson vs. Edison at Huntington Beach High:
I'm covering it so you know this must be a big game (if I'm not going to stoke my ego, who is?) . . . The Chargers are one of the teams I think have an excellent chance of winning the Southern Section's Pac-5 title. I wouldn't guess that the Bruins have much of a shot at an upset in this one. But a strong performance (even with a loss) would mean that coach Mario Morales' club has a real chance of finishing in the top four of the Moore League and returning to the playoffs.
Kennedy at Gahr:
I was very impressed with the Gladiators' Casey Nielsen-orchestrated passing attack in the loss to Millikan Friday night. Kennedy got spanked by Tustin in its opener but the Tillers are one of the three or four best teams in Orange County. I think Gahr evens its record tonight.
FRIDAY
Poly at St. Bonaventure (on Fox Sports/7:30 p.m.):
The Jackrabbits aren't stepping down in competition eight days after being dominated by Servite. In fact, this could be a better team than the Friars . . . I think Poly leaves Ventura at 0-2 but Raul Lara's team will turn in a much performance this time around.
Los Alamitos vs. Mayfair at Bellflower High:
The Griffins make their debut a week after the Monsoons' 30-6 thumping courtesy Chino Hills. I look for the team from the Sunset League to pull this one out, via a lot of big plays by Shaquille Richardson, Coach John Barnes' best player.
Jordan at Beverly Hills:
The Panthers will facing a very good junior defensive end (Greg Townsend Jr.) but the Panthers have too many offensive and defensive weapons not to open their season with a win.
