Mira Mesa Marauders (4-3-1) @ #3 Cathedral Catholic Dons (7-1) Last Meeting: 10/29/10 Cathedral Catholic 24 Mira Mesa 14 The Cathedral Dons have been on a serious mission since facing their only lost of the season back in week 3. They're currently riding a 5 game winning streak where they've outscored their opponents 170-10. Cathedral hopes to make it 6 before an epic season finale against St. Augustine that could not only be for the Holy Bowl, but also the Eastern League Championship. Mira Mesa is coming off a much needed confidence booster over Patrick Henry after finishing their last 3 games with 2 loses and a tie at winless Lincoln. The Marauders disparately need a victory here if they hope to keep any chance of a playoff berth alive. Key Players: Mira Mesa Senior QB Dominic Richardson 6'1" 170lbs Cathedral Catholic Junior QB Garrett Bogart 6'4" 205lbs My Pick: Cathedral Catholic Coronado Islanders (6-2) @ Morse Tigers (4-3) Last Meeting: 10/29/10 Coronado 21 Morse 12 With Kearny having the Central League title on lock, these teams will be fighting for their playoff lives in this game. Coronado could probably afford to lose one but Morse needs to win out in order to be considered by the seeders. Key Players: Coronado Senior QB Austin Denson 6'0" 185lbs http://profiles.berecruited.com/athletes/1147663 Morse Junior QB Tracy McNair 5'7" 150lbs http://www.sandiegoballers.com/13McNairTracy2009.wmv My Pick: Coronado #6 Oceanside Pirates (5-2-1) @ Carlsbad Lancers (5-3) Last Meeting: 11/05/10 Oceanside 31 Carlsbad 2 The injury riddled Pirates might be out of the Avocado West League title hunt after their unexpected defeat to La Costa Canyon last week but their CIF title hopes are far from over. As long as John Carroll is their coach, there is no doubt in my mind that Oceanside will be playing football at Qualcomm Stadium in December. Carlsbad is 0-3 this season against opponents who are currently ranked. A win here could do wonders for their playoff stock. Key Players: Carlsbad Senior QB Tanner Wrisley 6'4" 200lbs Oceanside Senior T/DT Eduardo Middleton 6'4" 290lbs http://profiles.berecruited.com/athletes/536148 My Pick: Oceanside Olympian Eagles (5-3) @ #7 Eastlake Titans (6-2) 1st Meeting The Metro Mesa League throne will be on the line when these South Bay powers collide for the first time. Eastlake was considered the top team in the county earlier in the season but have fallen from grace after two consecutive home losses at the hands of Cathedral and St. Augustine. Olympian is currently riding a 4-game winning streak and could make some noise with a win here. Teams that defeated the Eagles this season have a combined record of 22-2. Key Players: Olympian Senior RB Ian Autman 5'8" 175lbs Eastlake Junior RB Tavarus Green 5'10" 160lbs http://www.hudl.com/athlete/151115/tavarus-green My Pick: Eastlake #5 Poway Titans (7-0-1) @ Torrey Pines Falcons (4-4) Last Meeting: 11/05/10 Torrey Pines 38 Poway 17 The Falcons have a league lost on their record but they still have a legit shot at winning the Palomar League. But first they have to get past an unblemished Poway team who can clinch at least a share of the title with a victory in this game. Key Players: Poway Senior DE Brian Guendling 6'4" 215 Torrey Pines Senior RB Andrew Fargo 6'0" 215lbs http://www.hudl.com/athlete/30182/andrew-fargo My Pick: Poway Mt. Carmel Sun Devils (5-3) @ Westview Wolverines (5-3) Last Meeting: 11/05/10 Mt. Carmel 24 Westview 8 No love lost between these non-league rivals. Both teams are out of the title picture in their respective league's but there's still playoff consideration and neighborhood bragging rights to gain from this match up. Key Players: Mt. Carmel Junior RB Robbi Halliburton 5'9" 180lbs http://www.hudl.com/athlete/666116/robbie-halliburton Westview Senior TE Taylor McNamara 6'5" 240 http://www.sandiegoballers.com/12McNamaraTaylor2010.wmv My Pick: Mt. Carmel Game of the Week Point Loma Pointers (6-2) @ #4 Madison Warhawks (8-0) Last Meeting: 10/29/10 Madison 33 Point Loma 7 If Point Loma wants any part of the Western League crown, they will need to spoil Madison's run at a perfect season. The Warhawks can clinch the title outright by defeating the Pointers this Friday and closing the 2011 regular season with a win over Hoover next week. Key Players: Point Loma Senior DE/TE Tevin Heyward 6'0" 205lbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnJALvsSvII Madison Senior QB Chase Knox 6'1" 190lbs http://www.sandiegoballers.com/12KnoxChase2010.wmv My Pick: Madison
