The best games on the Week 6 schedule:

No. 4 Los Alamitos (5-0) vs. No. 13 Newport Harbor (3-2)
Friday, at Newport Harbor High, 7 p.m.

Outlook: So you want to win the Sunset League title? Here are the Sailors’ first three league opponents: Los Alamitos, Edison and Fountain Valley, who are a combined 15-0!

Amazing.

Newport Harbor needs a victory desperately. The Sailors opened the season 3-0, but has lost its past two games (to Dana Hills and Mira Costa of Manhattan Beach) by a combined score of 65-17.

The losses have kept  Coach Jeff Brinkley stuck on No. 199 in his quest to become the eighth county coach to win 200 victories. Is this the week? Will it happen anytime soon?

The Griffins, led by the county’s winningest coach, John Barnes, possess one of the county’s top defenses and ground attacks.

Los Alamitos is averaging 231 rushing yards a game, led by Nick Richardson (900 yards).

On the other side of the ball, the Griffins have only allowed 19 points … this season. That’s an average of 3.8 a game.

Will the Sailors be able to score?
