The Kennedy High football team could not slow down Sunny Hills, as the Lancers topped the Fighting Irish, 41-0, last week at Handel Stadium.

The Fighting Irish fell to 2-3 on the year, and will have this week off before opening Empire League play on Sept. 28, at Tustin High.

Cypress High had its bye week last week and will take on Capistrano Valley on Friday at 7 p.m. at Capistrano Valley High. The Cougars are 5-0 on the season and ranked No. 2 in the CIF-SS Division 3 poll this week.

Cypress is 2-2 this year and this will be their final tune-up before opening Empire League play on Sept. 28 against Pacifica.

Los Alamitos is coming off a 24-14 win over Carson that improved the Griffins’ record to 3-1. The Griffins held their No. 7 ranking in the CIF-SS Division 2 poll, while their opponents this week, Tesoro, dropped to No. 8 after a loss last week.

Los Alamitos will play at Tesoro on Friday at 7 p.m.
