Big Tony Solorzano <\/p><\/div>\n

The Suburban Meyer League will start\u00a0its league tilts this week, while the \u201cJack Del Rio\u201d League has two more weeks before\u00a0its league schedule kicks in.\u00a0\u00a0El Rancho has the week off.<\/p>\n

Are we ready over here? Are we ready over there?<\/p>\n

(Claps his hands) LET\u2019S GET IT ON!!<\/p>\n

WEEK FOUR<\/p>\n

Thursday, Sept. 30, 2010<\/span><\/p>\n

Schurr at<\/strong> Cal High (at Whittier District Field)<\/strong><\/p>\n

MATCHUP: <\/strong>The Spartans righted their phalanx with a nail-biter of a win over El Toro. Last year, the Condors continued a 10-game unbeaten streak when they erased a 13-point deficit for the tie. This year is much different for the Cal, with Terris Jones now a walk-on at the University of Arizona and Adam Contreras still sidelined with a shoulder injury. But sophomore Drew Castro is relying on Maximo Gonzales and Ben Stiepak to keep the offense moving. Don\u2019t expect Aaron Cantu to let another tie occur.<\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Schurr 34, Cal High 28<\/p>\n

Artesia at La Mirada (Suburban League Contest)<\/strong><\/p>\n

MATCHUP:<\/strong> You would think that a defending division champion like La Mirada would have had a better non-league season than the Matadors\u2019 1-3 record. Granted, the losses to St. Paul and La Habra were close contests, but it says more about the defense\u2019s shortcomings than the offense\u2019s efforts. But it could be a lot worse; they could have been rolled like Artesia were in\u00a0its first three games. If the Pioneers manage to score in double digits, they should consider it a moral victory, maybe\u2026<\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> La Mirada 42, Artesia 10<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Bellflower vs. Glenn (at Excelsior Adult School, Suburban League Contest)<\/strong><\/p>\n

MATCHUP: <\/strong>\u00a0The Buccaneers have put their focus on plundering the Suburban League now that they sit on top of the standings after a 3-1 non-league record. Glenn has been a punching bag, managing to score only 27 points in\u00a0its four games played, while surrendering a league-worst 202 points in their four losses. Hoist the Colors, me hearties, the Buccaneers will be a plunderin\u2019 these Eagles.<\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Bellflower 49, Glenn 10<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Norwalk vs. Mayfair (at Bellflower High, Suburban League Contest)<\/strong><\/p>\n

MATCHUP:\u00a0 <\/strong>Norwalk evened\u00a0its record after wins over St. Paul and Morningside while Mayfair ended\u00a0its three-game losing streak with a win over Valley Christian. The Lancers are poised to take a run at the league title and the Monsoons are hoping for more favorable winds, but the storm clouds are gathering once more.<\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Norwalk 42, Mayfair 21<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Warren vs.<\/strong> La Serna (at Whittier District Field, Whittier, CA)<\/strong><\/p>\n

MATCHUP: <\/strong>Yes, the Bears have been reeling since the start of the season, but they did manage to knock off Santa Fe.\u00a0Some\u00a0have resorted to crown the Lancers the presumptive Del Rio League champions, those who know the league are just waiting for the \u201creal\u201d La Serna to show up, and if that team arrives at the start of league play.<\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Warren 28, La Serna 24<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Cerritos at<\/strong> Pioneer<\/strong><\/p>\n

MATCHUP: <\/strong>After knocking off Glenn to start the season, the Titans lost two close games, fueling speculation that they\u2019re trying to emulate El Rancho\u2019s resurgence. The Dons got off the schnide after shutting out Rancho Alamitos, but the first two losses were steamrollers. It could be a season-defining moment for both teams depending on who wins and who loses. A Cerritos loss sets a bad tone going into league play. A Pioneer loss could put the Titans on a collision course for the Del Rio cellar again.<\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Pioneer 35, Cerritos 21<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Whittier at Paramount<\/strong><\/p>\n

MATCHUP: <\/strong>\u00a0The Cardinals are three loses into another forgettable season, but they did manage to give the Rough Riders a game last week. The Pirates are hoping for better sailing after losing a heart-breaker to Long Beach Wilson. Expect the Cardinals to get plundered as they careen towards another loss.<\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Paramount 42, Whittier 13<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Santa Fe at Charter Oak<\/strong><\/p>\n

MATCHUP:<\/strong> The Chiefs are struggling after losses to Bonita and Esperanza, but the Bonita loss came on a blocked field goal at the end of the game. The Chargers, last year\u2019s Southeast Division champs,\u00a0are now\u00a0taking on the Inland Division, but that doesn\u2019t mean they should over look the Chiefs. If Justin Rincon can overcome the errors in his game, the Chiefs can still contend for the Del Rio title. Keeping the Chargers close will dictate the outcome of the game and may just get the Chiefs an upset victory at an opportune moment.<\/p>\n
