Attention all ambitious football programs for 2010: Westlake has an opening in zero week or game one and is looking to play a top opponent.

Westlake Coach Jim Benkert knows he’ll have a top team next season and has one nonleague game because the Marmonte League is switching to a 10-team membership.

To help make the Warriors’ case for a state bowl bid, they need to face a good team outside of Ventura County. I say Anaheim Servite, Mission Viejo or Crenshaw would be a good opening test.

We’ll see if there are any takers.

The Warriors also plan to participate in the Edison seven-on-seven summer passing tournament, which should be a great opportunity to compare them against the best in Orange County and elsewhere.
