CENTURY LEAGUE
VILLA PARK (5-2, 1-1) VS. EL DORADO (4-2-1, 2-0)
Where, when: Valencia High, Friday, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Villa Park simply could not match Tustin’s excellent team speed in its 35-20 loss to the Tillers last week. While El Dorado does not have that speed, and few teams do, the Golden Hawks still look like the superior team.
No. 12 Tustin earned a 35-20 victory Thursday night, but only after it was tested by a determined Villa Park team. The Spartans scored twice in the fourth quarter, but they couldn't pull out the victory.
The Tillers' Anthony Wilkerson ran for 204 yards and two TDs, and AJ Rafter returned an interception for a touchdown. Check out highlights from the contest and postgame interviews in this video by OCVarsity.com's Jonathan Khamis.

2008-09 CENTURY LEAGUE
MVP – Jessica Prange (Canyon, Sr.)
First Team – Caroline Pattillo (Canyon, Sr.); Erin Abrams (Canyon, Sr.); Brittany Maag (Canyon, Sr.); Taylor Morton (Villa Park, Jr.); Claire Thatcher (Villa Park, Jr.); Kaitlin Borden (El Modena, Sr.); Madison Pinto (El Modena, Sr.); Ariel Lockshaw (El Dorado, Sr.); Madelyn Penman (Tustin)
Friday: Canyon (5-5, 3-0) at Villa Park (6-4, 3-0), 3:15 p.m.
Outlook: This is a big week for Villa Park … a very big week.
First, the Spartans have to face El Dorado on Wednesday and then they have to take on Canyon.
Assuming both teams get past their midweek games, this game will be for sole possession of first place in the Century League.
A day after rain canceled an anticipated match with Valencia, Villa Park faced another North County opponent in Esperanza on Thursday.
The Spartans swept in doubles and cruised to a 16-2 victory over the Aztecs in nonleague play at Villa Park High. The Spartans improved to 2-0; the Aztecs fell to 0-1.
Villa Park (6-17, 1-7) at No. 9 Canyon (18-6, 8-0)
Thursday, 7:30 p.m.
What happened the first time they met: Canyon won, 51-36
Why is this so important: Let me be the first to welcome the Comanches into the county Top 10. I don’t know about anybody else, but I’ve voted Canyon seventh in each of the previous two county polls.
Am I crazy?
The CIF-Southern Section has informed Villa Park that the school's boys basketball team will not be admitted into the playoffs unless it applies further discipline to Villa Park boys basketball coach Kevin Reynolds, CIF-SS spokesman Thom Simmons confirmed Thursday.
Reynolds in early December served a two-day suspension, assessed by the Orange Unified School District and Villa Park, when the section found that the coach had violated undue influence rules. The section had recommended a 10-game suspension.
Reynolds was unavailable for comment Thursday night. He has maintained he did not violate section rules.
Villa Park boys basketball coach Kevin Reynolds said Wednesday he has been assessed a two-day suspension by the school and the Orange Unified School District, a result of a CIF-Southern Section investigation of undue influence allegations.
The CIF-Southern Section has concluded its investigation of a potential undue influence violation, or violations, of the Villa Park boys basketball program and its coach, Kevin Reynolds.
