Place Votes

An entertaining season of high school football in San Diego Section is moving into the stretch run, and four 8-0 teams dot the 619 Sports/NCTimes Prep Top-10 poll.  But as Michael Buffer would say, “somebody’s O  has to go!”  And this week, with two Top-4 teams colliding for Valley League supremacy, an undefeated season is guaranteed to come to an end.

#1 Oceanside (8-0) will travel to #4 Valley Center (8-0) on Friday night, our 619 Sports Prep Game of the Week.  The Pirates have won 11 straight and are unbeaten in their last 33 games.  The Jaguars have won 12 in a row, but remember well their last loss, a 49-21 defeat in Oceanside last November 7th.  364 days later Valley Center gets a chance for revenge on its home field.

We will also be at two other key games around the county on Friday night: “The Holy War” in the Eastern League between St. Augustine (6-2, 2-1) and #5 Cathedral Catholic (7-1, 2-1), and the showdown for the top of the Grossmont South League between Valhalla (6-2, 3-0) and Steele Canyon (5-2-1, 2-0-1).  Follow our Twitter feed and check in throughout the day for full Prep Friday coverage!
