That's likely the Highlanders' largest recruiting class under Coach Frank Mazzotta.

It doesn't appear that La Habra defensive end Jake Peppard will sign today but he could later. Same goes with lineman Willie Mayoral.

San Diego State sent two coaches, including new head coach Brady Hoke.

Hillman is a soft commitment to the Aztecs but leaves Friday for a recruiting trip to Fresno State. The following weekends, he is set to visit Colorado State and San Diego State. Mazzotta also said San Jose State also is entering the competition.

Hillman softened his commitment to San Diego State after the Aztecs' coaching change.

Saturday, 7 p.m., at La Habra High

Outlook: Here are two of the hottest teams in the county.

La Habra has won seven consecutive games since losing to San Clemente on Oct. 10. Trabuco Hills has won eight of its past nine games since a 0-3 start. Something has to give.

The Highlanders didn’t play a clean game against El Dorado in the quarterfinals. La Habra had two touchdowns called back because of holding penalties, had 105 totals yards in penalties and committed two turnovers in a 23-14 victory.

Once they clean all of that up, the Highlanders are dangerous especially with the "Lightning and Thunder" combination of Ronnie Hillman and Joshua Quezada carrying the ball.

Trabuco Hills has been a different team since quarterback Jason Mayer returned from a wrist injury. Mayer has completed 62.7 percent of his passes for 1,984 yards. He completed 13 of 19 passes for 201 and three touchdowns against Western last week.

The Mustangs also had a big night on the ground, but not from Shane DeCillo. Donnie Simonsen filled in and rushed for 191 yards.

Can the Mustangs protect Mayer and create running lanes for Simonsen or DeCillo? Or will the Hillman-Quezada-Randall Nygren Show be too much for Trabuco Hills to handle?
