#5 La Costa Canyon Mavericks @ #2 Poway Titans (September 7, 2012) Last Meeting: September 9, 2011 - Poway 28 LCC 14 After dominating their season openers, Poway and La Costa Canyon will face off in what should be an exciting game between Division II title contenders from the North County. Poway’s explosive defense held Scripps Ranch to only seven points and 93 total yards last week. They will need a similar performance if they plan on stopping La Costa Canyon’s effective rushing attack led by senior running back Deon Dickey.
