Breakdown: Costa Mesa and Calvary Chapel are playing for the Orange Coast League’s third guaranteed berth into the CIF Southern Section Southern Division playoffs … Mustangs and Eagles share third place in league, and the loser will not be considered for an at-large postseason entry because it will have an overall record below .500 … Costa Mesa, the defending league champion, last failed to make the playoffs in 2012, the same year Calvary Chapel also missed qualifying … Eagles are the home team in the league finale at Jim Scott Stadium … Mustangs have an 11-0 all-time record against the Eagles … Calvary Chapel, which joined the Orange Coast League in 2006, has never advanced to the playoffs in consecutive seasons during its time in the league ... Costa Mesa Coach Wally Grant said Carrasco, who suffered a concussion last week, will start at quarterback if he’s cleared by the medical staff to play.
