Saugus’ victory over Valencia was superb, and I wish I could have been on the sidelines at the Oak Park-Oaks Christian contest. Here’s a look at some other Week 7 highlights:

Those pesky Chargers: Just when you thought it was safe to start figuring out who’s going to finish where in the Marmonte League, Agoura gums up the works with a 33-27 victory over Moorpark. Of course, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how the Chargers took this one -- QB Doug Shumway passed for 247 yards and three TDs and rushed for 68 yards and another TD.

Crushed spirit: In his first game against a team he led to three consecutive Southern Section divisional titles, Coach Jeff Cortez and his boys from Village Christian fell to Paraclete, 27-0. The Spirits, along with Duarte, are a favorite to challenge for the Mid-Valley Division title come December, but Village Christian is still looking that first victory.

He’s on it: QB B.R. Holbrook did his best to put on a one-man show in Hart‘s 36-15 victory over a die-hard West Ranch squad. Holbrook connected on 14 of 19 passes for 171 yards and three TDs. He also rushed for a TD.

200-yard clubber: Darrell Scott, the most coveted running back in the nation according to Rivals.com, rushed for 200 yards and two TDs in St. Bonaventure‘s 37-6 victory over Santa Barbara. Scott wasn’t the only Seraph hero -- the defense recorded 10 tackles behind the line of scrimmage thanks, in part, to LB Ryan Panapa (foot) returning to the lineup.

Let’s talk about those Earwigs: As Times’ stats guru Eric Maddy pointed out, here’s ‘a good excuse to work the Earwigs into a blog entry.’ Dunn linebacker Dominic Seagal tallied 12 tackles in the Earwigs’ 48-28 eight-man victory over Sierra Canyon. Now that’s the kind of game his father, action hero Steven Seagal, would be proud of.

And in case you don’t know who Steven Seagal is or what shameless advertising is all about, check out this YouTube video:
