Fond words for Oaks Christian

Here's Taft High of Woodland Hills football coach Troy Starr's assessment of Oaks Christian of Westlake Village's 59-13 dismantling of St. Bonaventure of Ventura Friday night:

"Nobody can stop Oaks Christian and that running back they have. They're the real deal. They're the best team in the nation, and I can't even begin to think there's another running back on the same level as Marc Tyler. To do that to St. Bonaventure is unbelievable. There's not a high school defense in the country that can stop him."

Couldn't agree more, Mr. Starr.

This Thursday's first half prediction:

Oaks Christian 38, Venice 3
