Fryer on football: Estancia vs. Laguna Beach

October 12th, 2011, 5:19 pm by

Orange Coast League
ESTANCIA (3-2, 0-0) AT LAGUNA BEACH (5-0, 0-0)
Where, when: Laguna Beach High, Friday, 7 p.m.

Outlook: Looks like the Orange Coast League championship is on the line in this one, even though it’s the first week of league play. Sure, Costa Mesa will be in the running for the league title. But at this point, these are the two best teams in the Orange Coast. Estancia came close to scoring what would have been one of the season’s bigger upsets last week when the Eagles lost to Beckman by two points.

Fryer on football: Beckman vs. Estancia

October 5th, 2011, 4:28 pm by

BECKMAN (2-2) VS. ESTANCIA (3-1)
Where, when: Estancia High, Thursday, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Beckman is a difficult team to figure out at this point of the season. The Patriots won the games they should have won, against Hawthorne and Torrance, and lost to superior teams Foothill and Tustin. Estancia recorded something of an upset last week with its 43-27 triumph over Northwood, like Beckman a team from the Pacific Coast League that is clearly the best league in the CIF-Southern Section’s Southern Division.
