Here is the two-minute drill for Friday’s La Habra vs. Orange Lutheran, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Cerritos College:

This season, our high school football columnist Aram Tolegian and I will go to head-to-head in giving our predictions for all the area games from week to week. Want to play? Just add your projections and keep your tally and see how you match up.
Records (season total, last week): Ramirez (19-11, 7-6); Tolegian (20-10, 7-6).
Last Week: In what seemed like the Whittier area’s version of the Saturday Night Massacre, except this one was on Friday when nine of the 13 schools lost, Aram and I took some hits, each going 7-6. He got me by picking Downey over Schurr, but I rode Whittier’s success from the week before and picked the Cardinals over Pacifica.
This week: There are some interesting matchups, with none bigger than La Habra returning to Cerritos College to face Orange Lutheran. The Highlanders looked respectable there last week before falling to Servite. I like La Habra in the return, but it will be close with the Lancers looking like a traditional power again. Another key match up pits undefeated La Serna at winless La Mirada, which has played better than its 0-3 record. Can the Lancers drop the Mats into the 0-4 basket? La Serna, at this point, looks like the team to beat in the Del Rio League.

Friday Night massacre?
It felt that way for area teams, who went 3-9. But it wasn’t all bad as La Serna got some revenge on Bonita to improve to 3-0, while La Habra stood toe to toe with powerful Servite before falling. Then there’s La Mirada, which after close losses to St. Paul and La Habra, laid an egg against traditional power Bishop Amat.
Here’s a brief recap at Friday’s games:
Bishop Amat 49, La Mirada 13 – The host Lancers, getting 303 yards rushing and five TDs from running back Jalen Moore, scored on its first seven possessions to route the Matadores, who had played reasonably well in losses to St. Paul and La Habra. “Those two teams aren’t Bishop Amat,” La Mirada coach Mike Moschetti said. “It’s not even close.”
Servite 24, La Habra 16 – The Highlanders didn’t earn the upset of the year, but got some respect, staying close to the Friars. I can’t see moving La Habra from it’s No. 1 spot after scaring Servite a bit.
St. Paul 48, Norwalk 6 – It no match as the Swordsmen make a case for No. 1 in the area by routing the Vikings.
St. John Bosco 51, Santa Fe 0 – The Del Rio League can’t start quick enough for the Chiefs, who suffered their second big loss of the season. It doesn’t get any easy in the coming weeks with home games against Esperanza and Charter Oak.
La Serna 21, Bonita 20 – I believe! The Lancers, getting a 69-yard fumble return from John McFarland, showed their for real with their third win of the season, while also getting some revenge on the Bearcats, who eliminated La Serna in the semifinals last season.
Baldwin Park 23, Cantwell Sacred Heart 14 – Corey Collins rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown, but the Cardinals couldn’t overcome an early deficit in step up game.
Arroyo 29, Montebello 22 – The Oilers suffered a heartbreaker as Arroyo’s Steven Rivera threw a 30-yard TD pass with 50 seconds left to lift Arroyo. You have to be pleased with Montebello which showed it can compete with the best of the Mid-Valley Division.
Downey 50, Schurr 14 – It’s been a rough start for Schurr, which also lost 22-0 to Cantwell last week. Can they regroup?
Troy 21, California 10 – Lawrence Gomez had a 45-yard TD run to lead the Condors in a loss.
Salesian 28, Pioneer 7 – Tony Botello was held to 67 yards rushing as the Titans fell to 0-2.
El Rancho 27, Bell Gardens 26 – The Dons stopped a two-point conversion with a minute left to improve to 2-1.
Kern Valley 28, Whittier Christian 21 – The Heralds fell to 1-2 with a loss to Kern Valley.

This is your chance to talk about what you want to talk about, from high school sports to whatever crosses your mind. How about who should be No. 1 in this week’s Daily News Elite 13? Should we drop La Habra from the top spot for losing? Or should we reward the Highlanders for playing Servite tougher than any one expected they could?
Go at it!

Just got the official word, direct from Servite, that Friday’s La Habra vs. Servite game at Cerritos College is at 7 p.m. Fox Sports West will televise the game on a delayed basis, beginning at 8 p.m. Sorry for the confusion.
As another side note, La Habra will be on the home side.
