PREP FOOTBALL GAMES AT A GLANCE

No. 1 Los Alamitos (5-0, 0-0) vs. No. 10 Esperanza (3-2, 0-0)

7 TONIGHT VALENCIA HIGH

Los Alamitos holds a 10-9-1 edge in a high-profile rivalry that has decided the last five Sunset League titles; the Griffins’ 22-17 victory last season was their first in four years. After a slow start this year, the Aztec offense has come alive the last two games, scoring 84 points in two victories. It’s not likely to be that easy against a Los Alamitos defense that is giving up 5.4 points per game and has two shutouts. But the Los Alamitos offense has struggled at times and could encounter more difficulties against an equally solid Aztec defense.
