Friday, 7 p.m. Pacific time


Why it's big: Mission Viejo's predicted march to another South Coast League title must first survive an encounter with surprise unbeaten San Juan Hills.

San Juan Hills (7-0) has won more than seven games only once since its first full varsity season in 2009. The Stallions were just 4-7 as a newbie member of the South Coast League last year.

Names to watch: The story of San Juan Hills' emergence this season is a story very much written by the right arm of four-star senior quarterback Patrick O'Brien. The Nebraska commit has thrown for 1,998 yards, the sixth-highest total in the Southern Section.
