Here are the Orange County teams in the Pac-5 Division:

Edison (10-0) – The Chargers are the top-seeded team in the division, and have been No. 1 in Orange County since beating then-No. 1 Servite in Week 4. The Chargers have a very-balanced offense. Quarterback Matt Viles is the No. 2 passer in the count, behind Rancho Alamitos’ Mike Frank, with 2,173 yards. Viles did not play in last week’s 48-0 victory over Marina, a precautionary move because Viles dislocated his non-throwing elbow in the Week 8 victory over Fountain Valley. Wade Houston and Davion Orphey are productive running backs, and Jeff Trojan and Michael Rivera leads the talented . The Chargers are averaging 33 points a game while allowing nine a game. Edison went 5-0 in the Sunset League to win the league championship.

Dana Hills (8-2) – Dana Hills finished second in the South Coast League with a 4-1 league record. The Dolphins’ league loss was to Mission Viejo, 49-17, which ended a six-game winning streak. Receiver/defensive back Chris Kearney is one of the top two-way players in the county. He has a team-high 51 receptions. Quarterback Josh Dean has completed 60 percent of his passes for 1,536 yards and 14 touchdowns. Dana Hills is averaging 36 points a game. The Dolphins, ranked No. 4 in Orange County have a challenging first-round assignment, a home game against No. 7 Orange Lutheran, the second-place team from the Trinity League.

Orange Lutheran (6-4) – The Lancers finished second in the Trinity League. Three of their losses are to very good teams – Pickerington Central of Ohio, which is 10-2; Redlands East Valley (10-0) and Servite (9-1). Lutheran has battled injuries to key players, like quarterback Bobby Wheatley (shoulder) and running back/linebacker Garrett Gilliland (ankle). Mike Markovsky has played well in Wheatley’s absence, and another offensive bright spot has been running back Damani Wilson (990 yards, eight rushing touchdowns).

Mater Dei (6-4) – The Monarchs beat St. John Bosco of Bellflower on Friday to finish third in the Trinity League. They play an old foe – Bishop Amat of La Puente, which was a longtime rival of Mater Dei’s in the old Angelus League and later in the Serra League. Mater Dei has lost to good teams like Orange Lutheran, Servite and Edison, and beat Centennial of Corona when Centennial was No. 6 in California. Junior quarterback Max Wittick seems to improve weekly, and Victor Blackwell might be the best receiver in the county (42 catches, 899 yards and 10 touchdowns).

Newport Harbor (6-4) – Newport Harbor finished in a three-way tie for second place in the Sunset League, with Fountain Valley and Los Alamitos. Coin flips put Newport as the league’s No. 4 representative so the Sailors needed to qualify as the division’s at-large team, and got it. The Sailors beat Los Alamitos in a league game. Receiver/linebacker Cecil Whiteside, who committed to Cal, was selected to play in the U.S. Army All-American Game. Cedric Whitaker has emerged as a fine running back, with 967 yards.

Servite (9-1) – Servite went 5-0 to win the Trinity League championship, the first time a team has gone undefeated in the league since it was created in 2006. It is the fifth league championship in Coach Troy Thomas’ five years coaching the Friars. Cody Fajardo has been outstanding at quarterback. He is the team’s leading rusher, at 661 yards, and has passed for 1,647 yards and 14 touchdowns. Rudy Guerrero and Chris Nicholls have been big-play receivers, and Nicholls is a threat running the ball, too. Servite averaged 42 points a game in league.

San Clemente (6-4) – The Tritons finished third in the South Coast League, with a 3-2 league record. They lost to Dana Hills and Mission Viejo in league. San Clemente lost to La Habra in a nonleague game, but beat two good ones, too, Trabuco Hills and El Toro, in nonleague. Quarterback Chase Rettig has completed 63 percent of his passes for 1,641 yards and 18 touchdowns, but has 11 thrown interceptions, too. Receiver Dominick Ela has 49 catches for 622 yards. The Tritons have given up a lot of points, 26 a game. They have a tough first-round challenge – Servite.

Los Alamitos (8-2) – The Griffins finished in a three-way tie for second place in the Sunset League. After a coin flip knocked Newport Harbor down to No. 4, Los Alamitos’ victory over Fountain Valley last week made the Griffins the league’s No. 2 playoff representative. They play Long Beach Poly in the first round Friday at Veterans Stadium in Long Beach; it is Los Al’s home game, but Vets also is Poly’s home field. Griffins running back Nick Richardson has been spectacular. He is averaging 173 yards a game. Quarterback Dylan Lagarde, who transferred during the season from Poly, had a fine game against Fountain Valley last week, going 14 for 21 for 172 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions.

Fountain Valley (8-2) – The Barons go into the playoffs on a two-game losing streak. They lost to Edison, 24-0, in the “Battle for the Bell” game, then got beat by Los Alamitos, 31-22, last week. Kyle Middlebrooks has been terrific at running back. He is averaging 160 yards a game and has rushed for 18 touchdowns. Ryan Steadman has been a standout at receiver. He has 30 receptions for 536 yards. The Barons gave up an average of 26 points a game in league, but overall have scored 35 points a game.

Mission Viejo (10-0) – Mission Viejo went 5-0 to win the South Coast League championship. The Diablos have dominated. They averaged 52 points a game in league, while allowing only nine points a game. Their closes game all season was a 19-point nonleague victory over Loyola of Los Angeles. Dallin McEwen has been steady at quarterback, completing 61 percent of his throws for 1,559 yards and 17 touchdowns with only five interceptions. Receiver Joey Branker has 41 receptions and is averaging 24 yards a catch. The Diablos’ outstanding defense is led by linebacker Tre Madden and defensive back Jake Marshall.

And the reason there will be an $8 parking fee for the football game and there was free parking for the pumpkin launch on Halloween -- the pumpkin launch was a CSUF event, Shildone explained.

Previous post: Pumpkin 1, Titan Stadium 0

1. What sort of damage was done to the scoreboard there on Halloween, when there was a pumpkin launching contest? One pumpkin smashed through the scoreboard.

2. Parking was free for this event, we reported. But there will be an $8 charge for parking for Fountain Valley-Edison football there Friday. Why?

Getting that to you as soon as I find out ...

(BTW -- Nothing against pumpkin launching as a science class project. Lots more fruitful than slicing apart dead frogs.)

Pumpkin vs. Scoreboard, Part II

A series of coin flips took Edison and Newport Harbor out of the playoffs (and Newport Harbor had won its final three games, including victories over Esperanza and Los Alamitos, both of which made the playoffs via those coin flips).

This season, Edison and Fountain Valley are going to the playoffs; both are 3-0 in league. Tied at 1-2 are Esperanza, Los Alamitos and Newport Harbor.

If Newport wins its final two games, against Marina and Esperanza, that should put Newport in that final third playoff berth at 3-2. Esperanza would then finish, at best, 2-3. Los Alamitos plays Esperanza and Fountain Valley; that third league loss just might come against Fountain Valley, thus keeping Los Alamitos out of the No. 3 position.

A mix of certain results could lead to a coin flip, but I think it is going to be determined on the field.

There is one at-large berth in the Pac-5 Division. The early projection here is that at-large berth is going to the No. 4 team in the Sunset League, and that might just be Los Alamitos.

Teams have to finish .500 or better to be considered for an at-large berth. Los Al likely will finish 7-3, and get that at-large berth.

Quarterback Dominic Ragland and Kyle Middlebrooks played well, each scoring two touchdowns. Check out highlights of the contest and postgame interviews in this video by OCVarsity.com's Jonathan Khamis.

Let's eliminate to the potential sites:

Angel Stadium -- It takes weeks to set up security, field prep, etc. for that one. Remember that the Angels were eliminated only this past Sunday. Before that, there was the chance for a World Series here, and Game 7 would be at the American League park on Nov. 5 -- one day before FV-Edison, and rain could push Game 7 back even further.

Cerritos College -- Servite's home field now, and Servite is there Nov. 6 vs. Orange Lutheran.

CS Fullerton -- Expensive to rent, but Edison is taking a look. Would it be worth it? Edison wants to make sure that its stated capacity indeed is 10,000. And then there is the parking fee of $10 for high school games there. And Edison really wants to keep the game close to the FV-Edison area.

Move the game to Saturday (11/7), so Cerritos College could be used? That has not been considered yet (Cerritos College plays an away game that day).

There are tickets on craigslist.com, and administrators at both schools are disappointed folks would try to cash in on their ability to get tickets that students could not get.

Fountain Valley and Edison tried to get the tickets to the right people, but that did not work. Demand might have been heavier than they anticipated. The schools had a fairly good plan in place, but it was not good enough. They made a mistake here, and that happens. We have good people at both schools, trying to do their best. Mater Dei and Servite have far better ticket-distribution programs, and I will detail those in the Fryer column that is at ocvarsity Thursday afternoon and in the Register in print on Friday.

Sunset League

No. 4 FOUNTAIN VALLEY (7-0, 2-0) VS. NEWPORT HARBOR (4-3, 1-1)

Where, when: Newport Harbor High, Thursday, 7 p.m.

Outlook: There is a lot of excitement about next week’s Fountain Valley-Edison “Battle for the Bell” game – and that’s not good for Fountain Valley. The Barons cannot look past Newport Harbor to their big rivalry game against Edison. Newport is good. The Sailors beat Los Alamitos two weeks ago, handing Los Al its first loss, then got clobbered by a terrific Edison team, 34-6, last week. Edison can make good teams look bad (see “Edison 23, Servite 9” for details).

Fountain Valley has that offensive balance Edison has, and that gave Newport trouble last week. The Barons, led offensively by Kyle Middlebrooks (172 yards a game) at running back and Dominic Ragland at quarterback, should win, and Edison should beat Los Al on Friday, setting up an insane Bell game (already there is a ton of controversy on Bell game ticket distribution). A loss does not kill Newport’s playoff chances. The Sailors follow with very winnable games against Marina and Esperanza, and that victory over Los Alamitos could be a huge tiebreaker when it comes to determining playoff berths.

I have calls in, and left messages, to both schools' principals to find out what actually happened with the ticket sales.

Craigslist has listings of FV-Edison tickets -- $40-$55. That's a lot of money for a high school football game (I saw Led Zeppelin for $9).

For the huge Servite-Mater Dei last week, at Santa Stadium (capacity 10,000) both schools had a very intricate, well-thought-out method for distributing tickets. That method will be in the Fryer column, online Thursday afternoon at ocvarsity.com and in the print OC Register on Friday.

Come back for updates on this situation.
