No. 3 Esperanza (4-1) vs. No. 2 Los Alamitos (5-0)

7 TONIGHT

LONG BEACH VETERANS STADIUM

Los Alamitos will surely remember how Esperanza’s defense went after quarterback Kevin Feterik last year as if he were for sale, sacking him 11 times in a 21-17 victory. The loss knocked Los Alamitos from atop a national ranking, and Esperanza went on to win the Sunset League title. The Griffins’ Sean Stein hasn’t thrown an interception this season in 105 attempts and is the county’s top-rated quarterback. His counterpart, David Parrish, with only one interception in 115 attempts, must be wary of Los Alamitos cornerback Ife Ohalete, the county leader in interceptions.
