WEEK 5 – OCT 10

LA HABRA VS. SAN CLEMENTE
AT SAN CLEMENTE HIGH

This is another dream matchup, and for the same reasons that make Tesoro-El Dorado so interesting. La Habra won a CIF-SS championship last year, and one of the reasons the Highlanders did so is back – Ronnie Hillman. Hillman was CIF-SS Southeast Division and Freeway League player of the year in 2007, when collected more than 2,000 all-purpose yards. He is listed as a receiver on the Highlanders' depth chart, but they move him all over the field to find ways to get him the football. Hillman also is a dynamite kick returner. Also returning for La Habra are some top defensive players like end Jake Peppard and linebacker Joseph Casey. San Clemente has been a consistent winner for years, and is always a factor in the very challenging South Coast League. The Tritons should be fun to watch offensively. Quarterback Duke Delancelotti is a playmaker running or throwing the football, and he has a fine receiver in Graham Tenney. The Tritons will be typically quick on defense, too. This game features the northernmost school in the county against the southernmost school. You can't get more north county vs. south county than this. These schools also have very loyal followings, too, so there will be a big crowd which only makes it even more fun.
