Other than Oaks Christian vs. St. Bonaventure

With all the hype about the showdown between Oaks Christian and St. Bonaventure Friday night, another good game might be overlooked.

Birmingham visits Notre Dame in what perhaps is Friday's best match up in the San Fernando Valley.

Notre Dame comes into the game undefeated (2-0) and might start Shane Horton at quarterback. That's because starter Dayne Crist injured his back against Canyon of Canyon Country two weeks ago.

Crist's status is day-to-day. The senior quarterback did not practice Tuesday. Knight's coach Kevin Rooney said Crist will be evaluated again Wednesday.

No matter who is the QB for Notre Dame, this should be a good game.

The Patriots (1-2) will try to make it two wins in a row.
