Times are changing in the Century League.
El Dorado use to be the king of the hill and untouchable, winning three straight league titles.
All that changed when Canyon defeated the Golden Hawks, 37-27, last week.
St. John Bosco of Bellflower (6-0, 1-0) vs. No. 5 Orange Lutheran (5-1, 1-0)
Friday, 7:30 p.m., at Orange Coast College
Outlook: St. John Bosco is the lone non-Orange County team in the Trinity League, and it would like to take the league title out of the county this season.
No. 16 Santa Margarita (2-4, 0-1) vs. No. 7 Servite (3-3, 0-1)
Friday, 7:30 p.m., at Saddleback College
Outlook: This has the makings of a must-win game for both teams. The loser drops to 0-2 in league and will be in danger of missing the playoffs.
No. 2 Tesoro (6-0, 1-0) vs. No. 8 San Clemente (6-0, 1-0)
Friday, 7 p.m., at San Clemente HS
Outlook: The Tritons reach the end of their three-game homestand with a chance to really turn the county’s top 10 upside down.
No. 15 Tustin (3-3, 1-0) vs. No. 21 Canyon (3-3, 1-0)
Friday, 7 p.m., at El Modena HS
Outlook: In the Century League 2008 preview, I listed this meeting as the likely Game of the Year. I thought it was going to be for second place, but that’s not the case anymore.
Cypress (3-3, 1-0) vs. No. 20 Valencia (5-1, 1-0)
Thursday, 7 p.m., at Western HS
Outlook: The winner of this game will become the favorite to win the league ... maybe.
No. 1 Edison (5-1, 1-0) vs. No. 4 Los Alamitos (6-0, 1-0)
Thursday, 7 p.m., at Veterans Stadium
Outlook: Welcome to the classic defense vs. offense battle.
If you think the color pink doesn't belong on a football field, think again.
In a very cool show of strength and support, the football teams at Tesoro and Los Alamitos (coached by Brian Barnes and his father, John, respectively) will feature players wearing new pink football gloves that have been donated by Cutters Gloves.
The pink gloves are a sign of strength in honor of October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Los Al will do the honors first Thursday against Marina. Tesoro will don the gloves Friday for its FSN-televised showdown against Mission Viejo at 7:30 p.m.
"They're fired up to wear them," Coach Brian Barnes said of the gloves.
No. 21 El Dorado (1-2) vs. No. 7 Tesoro (4-0)
Thursday, 7 p.m., at Valencia High
El Dorado's Kane Wilson
Preview: What has happened to El Dorado?
Tesoro has been on cruise control this season, topping the 50-point plateau three times this season. This is Tesoro's final tuneup before the big tilt against Mission Viejo on Oct. 17.
But will this be a tuneup? I'm not so sure.
El Dorado easily could be 3-0 (having lost two games by a total of five points).
We're moving on to Week 3 here at OCVarsity.com, and as usual, there is a slate of games that you should pay attention to.
This week, I'm going with six games to watch, and here they are ...
Whittier Christian (2-1) vs. No. 25 St. Margaret's (2-0)
Friday, 7 p.m., at St. Margaret's
This could be the small schools game of the year. The Tartans and their 30-game winning streak have yet to be tested, winning their first two games by a combined score of 110-0. The Heralds are coming off of a 34-16 victory over Savanna. The Rebels might be down this year (they were picked to finish fifth in the Orange League), but

Friday night, Mater Dei and Centennial of Corona will gather at Santa Ana Stadium for a second consecutive year.
Can this year's meeting top last year's?
