This week’s top high school football games
A look at two of this week’s best high school football games in the Southland:
THURSDAY
Carson (6-3, 3-0) at San Pedro (5-4, 3-0), 7:30 p.m. The atmosphere should be strong and intense for this Marine League title decider. Carson could be the No. 1 seed in the City Section Open Division playoffs with a win. This is a great tune-up for quarterback Chris Fields and a great test for the Colts offensive line. San Pedro needs strong line play to deal with second-year defensive star Kingston Sula. The choice: Carson.
FRIDAY
Mater Dei (6-2, 3-1) at Saint-Jean Bosco (9-0, 4-0), 7 p.m. For 10 years, these two programs have dominated the Trinity League. Don’t underestimate a Mater Dei team with two rare defeats. Both matches could have turned into victories if not for a bit of bad luck. To win, Mater Dei must improve its ground game to set up its pass. The St. John Bosco offense scored a lot of points. Look for play in the secondary of both teams facing elite receivers to decide this one. The choice: Saint John Bosco.
