No. 4 Laguna Hills (8-0, 3-0 vs. Costa Mesa (5-3, 2-1)

7 TONIGHT NEWPORT HARBOR HIGH SCHOOL

Fans of the forward pass should keep driving until they reach Santa Ana Stadium, where Mater Dei and San Clemente are playing tonight. Laguna Hills’ Michael Jones runs behind a powerful offensive line. Cory Pardoe is a skilled quarterback who often uses Jones as a decoy on option plays. Laguna Hills could be caught looking ahead to a Week 10 showdown with Aliso Viejo. Costa Mesa, which has won two in row, already has stopped one talented running team this season, when the Mustangs shut out Estancia, 17-0.
