GAME OF THE WEEK
NO. 3 LOS ALAMITOS (3-0) VS. NO. 10 SERVITE (2-1)
Where, when: Cerritos College, Friday, 7 p.m.
Analysis: The Griffins scored 145 points over their three wins, including a 57-35 victory over visiting Timpview of Utah last week. Running back Anthony League rushed for 287 yards and scored six touchdowns in a 63-25 win over Western but did not play against Timpview because of an ankle injury, so sophomore Jerod Terry got the handoffs. Los Alamitos is one of those super-secret sports organizations that won’t publicize stats, so while Terry’s numbers are unknown video replay shows that he jitterbugs through holes quickly and is a good tackle-dodger once he escapes the line. Whether it’s League or Terry with the carries against Servite, the Friars defense will be challenged. Servite is young at many key positions. The Friars beat two teams they should beat, 57-0 over Silverado and 60-14 over La Mirada, and lost a close one, 34-31 to state-ranked Rancho Cucamonga. Servite will deliver its traditional 48 minutes of spirit and effort. Los Alamitos, though, has too much talent and size for the Friars.
Winner: Los Alamitos
