Mission Viejo (Calif.) at No. 1 Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.)Mission
Viejo doesn't need to concern itself with what happened the last time a
California team traveled cross-country to play Don Bosco Prep. There's
reason to believe Diablos have enough offensive weapons to avoid a fate
similar to Don Bosco's 30-6 beatdown of De La Salle (Concord, Calif.) in
2009. Mission Viejo has an experienced offensive line paving the way
for 215-pound USC-committed running back
Jahleel Pinner and a savvy
senior quarterback in
Alex Bridgford, who threw four touchdowns passes
in a 35-6 rout of Centennial (Bakersfield) last week.
Don Bosco
Prep's win over De La Salle kicked off a 12-0 season that culminated in
the school's
first national poll championship. This year, the Ironmen
began the season ranked No. 1. They have 13 total returning starters
including several future FBS recruits. Defensive lineman
Darius Hamilton, receiver
Leonte Carroo and defensive back
Yuri Wright are part
of
MaxPreps' Top 100 recruits for the Class of 2012. Don Bosco Prep
enters the year with a 35-game winning streak. It has won 14 of its
last 15 games against out-of-state opponents.
