This week’s top high school football games
A look at this week’s best high school football games in the Southland:
THURSDAY
Los Alamitos (7-0) vs. Edison (5-2) at SoFi Stadium, 5 p.m.
The Alpha League begins with a formidable clash. Los Alamitos hasn’t played since Sept. 26, so the Griffins might start slow, but their offensive line has been key to quarterback Colin Creason and running back Kamden Tillis. Edison needs a big game from quarterback Sam Thomson, who has nine touchdown passes with one interception. The choice: Los Alamitos.
FRIDAY
St. John Bosco (7-0, 2-0) vs. Santa Margarita (5-2, 2-0) at Trabuco Hills, 7 p.m.
The Trinity League title could be decided in this match. This season, few teams have been able to cope with St. John Bosco’s aggressive offense and defense. Santa Margarita showed last week in a 7-6 win over Mater Dei that it has an elite defense. The Eagles will need offensive improvements under first-year coach Carson Palmer. The choice: Saint John Bosco.
