No. 10 La Habra (1-0) vs. South Hills of West Covina (1-0)
Thursday, 7 p.m., at La Habra High

Outlook: The Highlanders, the defending CIF Southwest champions, opened the season with a 54-13 victory over La Mirada. The competition should be tougher this week as South Hills visits.

The Huskies enter the week ranked second in the Southeast Division.

South Hills relied on its defense to defeat Ayala, 21-3 last week. They intercepted Ayala quarterback Ryan Orozco four times and limited the Bulldogs to 32 yards rushing.

It will take a lot to limit La Habra to just 32 yards rushing. La Habra running back Joshua Quezada rushed 189 yards in the opener last week against La Mirada.

First-year starting quarterback Cody Clements passed for four touchdowns. Brett Bartolone had three touchdowns for the Highlanders.

Chris Gonzales, Jake McBride and Mike Sparling also caught touchdown passes from Clements.

 That’s a lot of firepower to contend with.

Will the Huskies be able to keep up?

Here is one of them:

baseball_iconLa Habra (14-6, 8-3) vs. Fullerton (14-4, 9-2)

When: Wednesday at Fullerton; Friday at La Habra

Outlook: A lot can change from week to week in baseball. Just ask the Fullerton Indians.

Last week, Fullerton had a three-game lead in the Freeway League. Then the Indians were swept by Sonora and all of a sudden, there is a fight for the league title.

Fullerton leads La Habra and Sonora by one game. The Raiders are playing Troy this week.

The key to the week for Fullerton will be how the pitching staff handles the La Habra offense.

The Highlanders scored 33 runs in two games against Sunny Hills last week. They have hit double-figures in runs in three of the previous four games.

Fullerton won the first game between the teams, 10-1, on April 1.

Can Fullerton regain its composure?

Will La Habra pound its way to a sweep?

What about Sonora?

Yes, folks, there is a fight going on in the Freeway League.

(All games start at 3:15 p.m. unless noted)
