By Tim Peterson

All games are at 7:30 pm unless otherwise indicated

Friday November 14

Mayfair (5-5, Suburban #3) at St. Francis (10-0, Angelus #1)

Just a tune-up for St. Francis. The Golden Knights expect to be there in the end.

St. Francis 42 Mayfair 14

Dominguez (7-3, SGV #2) at La Serna (8-2, Del Rio #2)

Dominguez was exposed by Downey as being one dimensional. La Serna has several options. Lancers get it done.

La Serna 28 Dominguez 17

Paramount (6-4, SGV #3) at Norwalk (7-3, Suburban #2) at Excelsior Adult School

Both teams love to run. Could be a quick one. Norwalk will run away with the victory.

Norwalk 30 Paramount 16

Harvard-Westlake (7-3, Angelus #3) at Crescenta Valley (10-0, Pacific #1) at Glendale

A lot of people like Harvard-Westlake. Cal Preps likes Harvard-Westlake. Wow! Doesn’t 10-0 impress anybody? It impressed me. I like CV.

Crescenta Valley 31 Harvard-Westake 28

Muir (6-4, Pacific #2) at Cathedral (9-1, Angelus #2)

Has Muir figured out Cathedral yet? The Mustangs fell to the Phantoms the first time 12-7. This time they’re at Cathedral and the Phantoms are better. Muir is always a tough out but Cathedral wins the rematch.

Cathedral 24 Muir 17

California (6-4, Del Rio #3) at Downey (7-3, SGV #1)

Nice season for Cal and first year HC Kyle Trudell. The Condors are on the rise but it ends here. Downey is just too tough, too physical. The Vikings advance.

Downey 34 California 14

Burbank (7-3, Pacific #3) at El Rancho (8-2, Del Rio #1)

The season feels special for El Rancho. The Dons aren’t about to get bounced in the opening round. Also Burbank is beaten up.

El Rancho 38 Burbank 21

Salesian (4-6, Angelus at large) at La Mirada (9-1, Suburban #1)

I don’t think the Salesian Mustangs should even be here. They won’t be after Friday night. La Mirada…large.
