Thursday
Non-League
El Modena (1-0) vs. Kennedy (1-1)
at Fred Kelly Stadium, 7 p.m.
Kennedy rebounded from its season opening loss with a 9-0 win over Northwood on Friday. Quarterback Jordan Jackson passed for 158 yards, with Derrick Deese and Naaem Summerville his primary targets. The Fighting Irish defense kept the Northwood ground game almost non-existent in the shutout. El Modena is coming off a 27-7 win over Woodbridge and they used a solid run game to wear down the Warrior defense.
Warren (1-0) vs. Buena Park (1-1)
at Buena Park High, 7 p.m.
After a big first game win, the Coyotes were humbled by a high-powered Edison offense and stifling defense. Buena Park coach Anthony White said they scheduled the game to see where they were at, and found out they have a lot of work to do. Buena Park had chances to put points on the board, but could not take advantage of them. Look for Buena Park to refocus this week and bring a better performance home against Warren.
Savanna (0-1) vs. Bolsa Grande (0-1)
at Bolsa Grande High, 7 p.m.
Savanna lost its opener to Rancho Alamitos, 20-12. The Savanna offense was able to compile more than 200 yards rushing, which certainly gives them a promising base to build on. Bolsa Grande is coming off a 16-12 loss to Laguna Beach.
Costa Mesa (2-0) vs. Katella (1-0)
at Estancia High, 7 p.m.
Randy Furbush had 129 yards rushing and Francisco Pineda added 111, with three touchdowns, to lead Katella to a 43-14 win over Western last week. Furbush had a touchdown and Jorge Fonseca added two late touchdowns for Katella. Costa Mesa is coming off a 25-14 win over Santiago. Jonathan Brucales led Costa Mesa with 120 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Quarterback Ben Swanson had 237 yards passing with a touchdown.
Los Alamitos (1-0) vs. Lakewood (0-2)
at Veterans Stadium/Long Beach, 7 p.m.
Jack Telenko and the Los Alamitos offense looked comfortable in their first game, rolling up 49 points against Paramount. Lakewood was blown out by Serra of Gardena in their first game, then edged 21-19 against La Serna last week.
Loara (0-1) vs. Magnolia (1-1)
at Glover Stadium, 7 p.m.
After scoring 46 points in their season-opening win, Magnolia was shutout last week against Artesia. Loara is coming off a 37-14 loss to Estancia.

Marcus Tolbert had 190 yards rushing and two touchdowns to help Pacifica to a 51-12 win over Bellflower in their opener. Nick Garcia had 126 yards passing with two touchdowns and also ran for another for the Mariners. Pacifica should face a tougher test against an Estancia team that posted a solid win over Loara last week.
Cypress (0-2) vs. Los Amigos (0-1)
at Western High, 7 p.m.
Cypress’ woes continued with a shutout loss at the hands of Fullerton last week. The Indians scored 21 first quarter points, en route to a 34-0 win. The Centurion offense managed just 91 yards rushing against Fullerton, while their defense gave up 265 yards on the ground. Los Amigos is coming off a 29-7 loss to Godinez, in their season opener.

at Westminster High, 7 p.m.
