Taking a look at the best games of Week 2:
No. 10 La Habra (1-0) vs. South Hills of West Covina (1-0)
Thursday, 7 p.m., at La Habra High
Outlook: The Highlanders, the defending CIF Southwest champions, opened the season with a 54-13 victory over La Mirada. The competition should be tougher this week as South Hills visits.
The Huskies enter the week ranked second in the Southeast Division.
South Hills relied on its defense to defeat Ayala, 21-3 last week. They intercepted Ayala quarterback Ryan Orozco four times and limited the Bulldogs to 32 yards rushing.
It will take a lot to limit La Habra to just 32 yards rushing. La Habra running back Joshua Quezada rushed 189 yards in the opener last week against La Mirada.
First-year starting quarterback Cody Clements passed for four touchdowns. Brett Bartolone had three touchdowns for the Highlanders.
Chris Gonzales, Jake McBride and Mike Sparling also caught touchdown passes from Clements.
That’s a lot of firepower to contend with.
Will the Huskies be able to keep up?

Should be a great game, South Hills has been a mainstay in the San Gabriel Valley for years, very good program, well-coached and wont quit, La Habra a bit young but loaded at home …….and if the passing attack is anywhere near where it was last week look out Hills.,Quezada will get his, this kid knows how to play football and is quicker than i have seen him the past couple even bulked up.
I saw that game last week between La Habra and La Mirada and was really impressed with that tight end for La Habra, Jacob McBride. He’s tough as nails with great hands. I heard this was his first year playing tight end and I was shocked. It looks like this phenom has been playing TE since birth.
La Habra is a team to be reckoned with for sure!
