The Register’s Adam Maya breaks down both of the SGV vs OC games for this weekend and, get this, he also makes predictions. You can click on the link and scroll down to see his predictions, or just keep reading this blog, where they also appear with my take. Your choice.

Maranatha (1-0) vs. St. Margaret’s (1-0)
Site, time: St. Margaret’s, 7 p.m.
Player to watch: Sr. Margaret’s WR Dan Morrison
Last season: St. Margaret’s, 21-20
Prediction: St. Margaret’s — The much awaited rematch of last year’s Northeast Division final is here.

South Hills (0-1) vs. La Habra (1-0)
Site, time: La Habra, 7 p.m.
Player to watch: La Habra WR Pedro Puga
Last season: La Habra, 27-10
Prediction: La Habra — This is a difficult nonleague game.

I like Adam’s predictions (sorry Maranatha fans), but there are better ‘player(s) to watch.’

In the Maranatha-St. Margeret’s game, the running backs are the players to keep an eye on -- the Minutemen’s Mark Love and the Tartans’ Hunter Steffien, who rushed for three touchdowns and 217 yards last week.

In the South Hills-La Habra game, the ones to watch are the Huskies’ all-purpose player Dorian Wells and the Highlanders’ quarterback Chris Morales.
