Bonita (9-2) at Thousand Oaks (8-3) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonita survived Round one last week against Northview. Now they have another tough game at Thousand Oaks. Thousand Oaks finished in a three-way tie for first in the tough Canyon League and has won five straight games. It will be a battle for the Bearcats especially on the road. But somehow, some way they find a way to get it done. Bonita advances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agoura (7-3) at Muir (8-3) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muir showed how far it has come from Week 1 with the big win over Diamond Ranch last week. The Mustangs are at full strength and ready to make another deep run. Things only get harder as you advance in the post season but Muir looks to be up to the challenge. Agoura will be a hard out but the Stangs get it done in the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIV 8 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covina (9-2) at Charter Oak (3-8) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe the best game of the second round. Charter Oak and Covina are in the same city but you can’t call it a rivalry because they haven’t met since 2001. It’s a surprise that the Chargers made the playoffs after a 2-8 season but here they are as an at large team in Division 8. Last week they took care of North (Torrance) while Covina beat Summit. Don’t let the 3-8 record fool you. The Chargers have some dudes and in this Division are capable of a run. If Covina avoids turnovers and can make some stops on defense the Colts have a great opportunity. It will come down to the fourth quarter but the Chargers “new season” continues. CO makes a big play down the stretch and holds on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rio Hondo Prep (10-1) at Orange (7-4) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rio Hondo Prep will run left, run and right and run up the middle. And if that doesn’t work the Kares will run it some more. They have the horses to do it. Noah Penunuri and Nate Curtis are both tougher than a three-dollar steak. They both rushed for over 100 yards last week in the win over St. Margaret’s. Orange hails from the Orange Coast League and is coming off of a 19-12 win over Diamond Bar last week. The Kares will pound it again and eventually wear down their opponent again. Kares advance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIV 10 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Covina (9-2) at Beckman (9-2) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Covina did not throw the ball last week in the win over Paloma Valley, not once. But that’s what the Bulldogs do and they do it well. Zander Requena and West Co run over Beckman and into the Semis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIV 11 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cantwell (9-2) at Westminster (8-3) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My apologies to Cantwell head coach Eddie Ficklin Jr. OC Eric Elias and the entire Cantwell-Sacred Heart staff. I’ve picked against you several times this year and several times you have proved me wrong. Your defense has been solid and your offense does what takes to win. I won’t be fooled again. You convinced me. The Cardinals beat Westminster and advance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIV 12 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coachella Valley (5-6) at Don Lugo (5-6) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scoreboard operators better be on their toes in this one. This is going to be a shootout. Don Lugo has been in several high scoring affairs this year and Coachella Valley put up 46 on South El Monte last week. Somebody has to make a stop. Coachella Valley makes one more and holds on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coachella Valley 41 Don Lugo 38 <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIV 14 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawthorne (5-6) at El Monte (5-6) <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another one where they will be lighting up the scoreboard. The El Monte game last week had an Arena Football League feel to it as the Lions outlasted Bishop Montgomery 55-50. Hawthorne can score as well, but has also displayed defensive prowess at times. The Cougars will need this to be one of those times to get by the Lions. Expect several lead changes in a back and forth contest with Hawthorne making the last stand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
