A chance for Mission Viejo to avenge a lopsided loss to Don Bosco Prep in 2011. The Diablos were beaten by the eventual national champion, 35-7, on the Ironmen's home field two Septembers ago. This time, Don Bosco Prep will be on the left coast for the final game of a terrific two-day quadrupleheader of games in the Mission Viejo Football Classic. Led by San Jose State-bound quarterback
Ian Fieber, Mission Viejo is undefeated with 107 points in its first two games. Fieber is joined in the backfield by Stanford-bound fullback
Daniel Marx (6-foot-2, 235 pounds) and his top receiving target is
Sean Modster, a Boise State recruit. This is the first time in many seasons that Don Bosco Prep wasn't even among the top two teams in the newspaper preseason state rankings. No matter, the Ironmen still looked dominant in a 42-0 season-opening rout of Philadelphia power St. Joseph's Prep last week.
Just the facts: To say the least, Don Bosco Prep is a road-tested program, winning the last six games played more than 300 miles away from home. That dates back to a 23-21 win at De La Salle (Concord, Calif.) in 2008. … Mission Viejo has had 33 players sign with FBS programs since 2001.
