Empire League
PACIFICA (4-3-1, 3-0) VS. CYPRESS (7-1, 3-0)
Where, when: Western High, Thursday, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Pacifica’s mission – stop Akeelie Muhammad. Mission: Impossible. Muhammad is the county’s second-leading rusher, with 1,463 yards, and is averaging 12 yards a carry. In three league games, the 5-foot-9, 180-pound senior has scored 13 touchdowns and is averaging 253 yards a game.
Pacifica throws the ball well – quarterback Mario Nava has completed 61 percent of his passes for 1,310 yards and 10 touchdowns – but this one is all about the Mariners defense’s ability to handle Muhammad. Few defenses can; Pacifica’s likely is not one of them.

All I know is that the “CrunchBunch” would stop Cypress’s power sweeps hard. Go Fight Win Mariner’s “bring It”!!!
oh….ENCORE…it will be brought. i can guarantee you that. if you dont know what line six is, you will be the end of the night.
What!? a football player attending a high school illegally!? unheard of.
Artesia HS school district is closer to Downey. AK should have went to Warren HS. Could you imagine AK and Jesse Callier in the same back field? Now that would be unbelievable or should I say unstoppable.
I SEE REAL HOPE FOR FRYER!!HE KNOWS WHAT I MEAN,,OUT OF THE BOX FINALLY..
is OC Varsity covering this game tonight?
Good Game last night for Cypress. They definitely dominated Pacifica even though I thought Pacifica shot themselves in the foot several times. Not being able to punch it in inside the five?C’mon.
AK, all I can say is wow.
Do you realize how dumb that sounded? It is exactly what you said is was…read the first line of your post!
