Upcoming top-tier football matches in the South's educational institutions this week
Orange Lutheran and Sierra Canyon high school football teams are set to face off at Orange Coast College on a Thursday evening at 7 p.m. Both teams have impressive records, with Sierra Canyon boasting an undefeated 4-0 and Orange Lutheran following closely behind with a 3-1 record.
Sierra Canyon' success this season can be attributed to their outstanding defence, having given up only seven points all season. On the other hand, Orange Lutheran is known for its strong offensive line, which has helped the team make progress each game, with standout player Reagan Toki leading the charge.
While Orange Lutheran started the season with inexperience at quarterback, they have shown resilience and determination. Mater Dei, another top contender, has struggled with penalties, turnovers, and lack of discipline in some games. However, their quarterback, Maika Eugenio, has 14 touchdown passes to his name and is a Hawaii commit.
Predictions for the game favour Sierra Canyon, given their defensive prowess and unbeaten record. However, Orange Lutheran's determination and improving offensive play could make for an exciting match.
Meanwhile, in a separate match, Mater Dei will face Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas. Bishop Gorman, also with a 4-0 record, is known for its college-bound players and is favoured to win. Safety Jett Washington of Bishop Gorman is a highly touted football and basketball standout.
