St. Bonaventure relies on versatile quarterback Darius Vines. Which team will be best at stopping the big play?
The pick: Oaks Christian.
Mission Viejo (8-0, 2-0) at San Juan Capistrano San Juan Hills (7-0, 1-0), 7 p.m.
This is the biggest game in San Juan Hills' relative short football history. San Juan quarterback Patrick O'Brien, protected by a powerful offensive line, will try to score points against a tough, physical Diablos defense.
The pick: Mission Viejo.
