Servite vs. Bishop Amat
Analysis: Bishop Amat is the most prominent football program in the San Gabriel Valley. Last season, Servite played a San Gabriel Valley team in Damien and dominated. Amat is better than Damien. Tobin O’Dell is an efficient quarterback and Delano Franklin Delano Franklin 5'11" | 175 lbs | ATH Bishop Amat | 2023 State CA is a real receiver who could play at any school in the state. Servite is a top team in the state with quarterback Noah Fifita Noah Fifita 5'10" | 175 lbs | QB Servite | 2022 State CA , receivers Tetairoa McMillan Tetairoa McMillan 6'4" | 185 lbs | WR Servite | 2022 State CA and Keyan Burnett Keyan Burnett 6'5" | 225 lbs | WR Servite | 2022 State CA .

The pick: Servite
Alemany vs. Oaks Christian
Analysis: Alemany is 0-2 and still may be the best team in Los Angeles. The Warriors are coming off a bye after a tough loss to St. John Bosco. They have real issues at offense with a quarterback controversy between Dylan Gebbia Dylan Gebbia 6'2" | 185 lbs | QB Bishop Alemany | 2022 State CA and Anthony Wolter Anthony Wolter 6'1" | 190 lbs | QB Saint Bonaventure | 2024 State CA . Jaylen Thompson Jaylen Thompson 5'10" | 200 lbs | RB Bishop Alemany | 2022 State CA has been the main running back thus far. Alemany’s strength is on defense with Niuafe Tuihalamaka Niuafe Tuihalamaka 6'3" | 240 lbs | LB Bishop Alemany | 2022 State CA , Damonic Williams Damonic Williams 6'3" | 320 lbs | DL Bishop Alemany | 2022 State CA , Larry Turner-Gooden Larry Turner-Gooden 6'1" | 190 lbs | ATH Bishop Alemany | 2022 State CA and Ephesians Prysock Ephesians Prysock 6'3" | 170 lbs | DB Bishop Alemany | 2022 State CA leading the way. Sterling Lane Sterling Lane 6'4" | 235 lbs | LB Oaks Christian | 2022 State CA leads Oaks Christian, who is also off to an 0-3 start.
The pick: Alemany
Corona del Mar vs. San Clemente
Analysis: This is a strength vs. strength matchup. Corona del Mar’s offense is firing on all cylinders with quarterback David Rasor David Rasor 6'1" | 195 lbs | QB Corona Del Mar | 2023 State CA , receiver Max Lane and running back Colin Pene. San Clemente’s defense is a strength with linebacker Cole Robertson and safety Brad Gerken Brad Gerken 5'11" | 190 lbs | DB San Clemente | 2023 CA . Can Lachlan Rosmalen make enough big plays down the stretch for the Tritons? Corona del Mar is the best team San Clemente has played so far this season and vise versa. This is such a fun matchup.
The pick: San Clemente
St. Francis vs. Inglewood
Analysis: This game is star-studded. St. Francis running back Max Garrison Max Garrison 5'10" | 185 lbs | RB St. Francis | 2022 State CA is one of the best in the state and Jack Jacobs Jack Jacobs 6'5" | 220 lbs | QB St. Francis - La Canada | 2023 State CA is a solid quarterback. Preston Jernegan leads the St. Francis defense. Inglewood has Cal commit Justyn Martin Justyn Martin 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB Inglewood | 2022 State CA at quarterback. Inglewood’s defense is under the radar with stars like Marshon Oxley Marshon Oxley 6'3" | 220 lbs | DL Inglewood | 2022 State CA and Taariq Al-Uqdah Taariq Al-Uqdah 6'0" | 200 lbs | LB Inglewood | 2022 State CA . If Inglewood contains, Garrison, they cruise to a win here.
The pick: Inglewood
El Camino vs. Carlsbad
Analysis: Carlsbad is the top team in San Diego in my opinion. Julian Sayin Julian Sayin 6'1" | 195 lbs | QB Carlsbad | 2024 State CA is one of the top sophomore quarterbacks in the nation and Josh Davis is one of the best two-way players in the region. The Lancers are 3-0 with wins against quality out of county teams: Great Oak, Millikan and Lawndale. El Camino opened the season with a nice win over St. Augustine but lost to Grossmont the following week. Kiah Reid is an underrated quarterback in the area and El Camino is coming off a bye which means they are healthy and well-prepared. Is Carlsbad ripe for an upset?
No.
The pick: Carlsbad
