Golden West League
ORANGE (2-5, 1-1) VS. SEGERSTROM (3-4, 2-0)
Where, when: Segerstrom High, Friday, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Segerstrom and Westminster are tied for first place in the Golden West, and they play each other next week. Orange is no easy stepping stone for Segerstrom to get to next week’s big game.
The Orange Panthers are hoping that a special part of their past can help lead them to a place they haven’t been in a long time.
Earlier this year, the school announced that head coach Tom Meiss would be returning to the sidelines. Meiss, who has over 40 years of football coaching experience, coached the Panthers from 1989-91, leading the Panthers to the 1989 CIF Division VIII championship game.
This week I am picking the Top 5 Series of the Week. Here is one of them:
Westminster (10-9, 7-4) vs. Orange (16-5, 9-2) Wednesday at Westminster; Friday at Orange
When:
Outlook: Westminster had a shot to take over the Golden West League, but last week happened for the Lions. Westminster was swept by Segerstrom, while Orange swept Ocean View.
That’s why the Panthers have a two-game lead heading into this week.
This week I am picking the Top 5 Series of the Week. Here is one of them:
Orange (14-5, 7-2) vs. Ocean View (13-7, 6-3)
When: Wednesday at Orange; Friday at Ocean View
Outlook: Orange begins the week tied for first place in the Golden West League with Westminster. Ocean View is one-game back after splitting a two-game series with Santa Ana last week.
All three teams were tied for first place heading into last week.

Thursday
Division II second round
El Modena (23-6) vs. Long Beach Wilson (14-12) at Belmont Plaza, 3:15 p.m.
I didn't pick to cover tonight's Trinity League football game between Santa Margarita and Orange Lutheran, but I am intrigued about one of the matchups in the game.
Before making our pick for defensive star, consider this ...
Orange Lutheran probably faced the most dynamic offense that it will see this season Friday night when it took on St. John Bosco of Bellflower.
The Braves entered the game undefeated and averaging 41.5 points. Orange Lutheran slowed electrifying QB Keith Price, on the way to winning 34-21.
Mater Dei basketball players Lyndsay Heard, a 5-foot-10 senior guard, and Mya Olivier, a 6-foot-1 senior forward, have committed to Long Beach State and Cal State Fullerton, respectively, said Coach Kevin Kiernan in an e-mail in Wednesday morning.
Sounds like the Monarchs will be a team to watch this season.
An improved El Modena boys water polo team took a giant step toward a second-place finish in the Century League by posting a 7-6 victory at Canyon on Tuesday.
The Vanguards are now 16-4, 2-1 in the Division II league.
It wasn't exactly a slam-dunk but my vote for No. 1 in the county football poll went to Tesoro, which knocked off previously No. 1-ranked Mission Viejo in impressive fashion. Tesoro can play better than it did Friday and that should be a scary thought for San Clemente this week.
Tesoro could have won that game at least 38-14 but didn't capitalize on some chances in the third quarter.
