SAN PEDRO</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This game will decide the Marine League championship and these are likely the two best teams in the City Section. Carson has outscored its last two opponents 90-0 and is coming off a 50-0 win over Narbonne. [player_tooltip player_id='569767' first='Chris' last='Fields III'] threw for 200 yards on just seven completions with six touchdowns in that win. <strong>Eric Myers </strong>ran for 142 yards with a touchdown and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1659078' first='Craig' last='Walker']</strong> had two touchdown catches. San Pedro was competitive against undefeated Laguna Beach which is impressive. The Pirates have scored over 45 points in each of their last four games. <strong>Seth Solorio</strong> is averaging 279 yards per game with 28 touchdowns <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1683779' first='Elias' last='Redlew']</strong> has 1155 receiving yards with 14 touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The pick: </strong>San Pedro</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It's officially San Pedro vs. Carson week. <a href="https://t.co/Lutu0DTGMl">https://t.co/Lutu0DTGMl</a></p>&mdash; eric sondheimer (@latsondheimer) <a href="https://twitter.com/latsondheimer/status/1981945453546791396?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 25, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>CHINO HILLS VS. RANCHO CUCAMONGA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This game will decide the Baseline League championship. Chino Hills is coming off a major 27-19 win over Damien. [player_tooltip player_id='401215' first='Alex' last='Medyn'] threw for 199 yards with two touchdowns and ran for another for Chino Hills. <strong>Jacob Jimenez</strong> had a 64-yard touchdown catch and <strong>Troy Reams</strong> had a sack. Rancho Cucamonga is coming off a 41-7 win over Etiwanda.

I think Rancho Cucamonga is better in the trenches led by [player_tooltip player_id='401281' first='Malik' last='White'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The pick: </strong>Rancho Cucamonga</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I'm Home Vegas!! <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachDanMullen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachDanMullen</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachSollenne?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachSollenne</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachJoeDenney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachJoeDenney</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/jezziegornto?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@jezziegornto</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/leewdavis17?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@leewdavis17</a> <a href="https://t.co/ualBdl0PJ2">pic.twitter.com/ualBdl0PJ2</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='401281' first='Malik' last='White'] 3⭐️ (@malik_white78) <a href="https://twitter.com/malik_white78/status/1980759231574995135?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 21, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>TUSTIN VS.

Tim Ioane had a sack and an interception to lead the defense and [player_tooltip player_id='1197561' first='Jon' last='Ioane'] had a fumble recovery. Williams and [player_tooltip player_id='797093' first='Cooper' last='Cook'] each had sacks. Capo Valley is led by quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1197373' first='Talon' last='Spencer'] who has 21 touchdowns and 9 rushing touchdowns. He spreads the ball around well but <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1279271' first='Colin' last='Hooper']</strong> leads the team in touchdowns and <strong>Brody Saavedra </strong>is a top target.
