ON THE RECORD

“This place will be rockin’. I’ve seen some film and I’ll see them tomorrow night, but they’re good. Real good.”

--George Pascoe, Huntington Beach coach, on next week’s Sunset League showdown with Fountain Valley.

ON DEFENSE

Estancia’s Jairo Arceyut intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble in the Eagle’s 7-3 loss to Century. The senior missed last week’s game after collapsing on the sidelines after intercepting a pass against Katella on Sept. 30, but was cleared to play after cardiac tests Monday and Tuesday.
