No. 8 Laguna Hills (0-0) vs. Sonora (0-0), La Habra HS, 7 p.m.

Now in its third year, this matchup is becoming one of the better county rivalries. The teams split the first two meetings, with Sonora handing Laguna Hills its only regular-season loss last year, 39-28. For the Raiders, the mission is clear: Stop junior running back Michael Jones, who rushed for 243 yards against them and 2,350 for the 1995 season. But Coach Steve Bresnahan is also looking to upgrade the Hawks’ passing game, after a 1-for-11, three-interception performance figured heavily in the team’s playoff loss to Temescal Canyon. Sonora Coach Mark Takkinen has changed everything in the Raiders’ offense, scrapping the wing-T for a more varied attack.
