PREP FOOTBALL GAMES AT A GLANCE

Pacifica (8-3) vs. Western (9-2)

7 TONIGHT WESTERN HIGH

Western Coach Toby Howell said he expects the Mariners to key on his powerful fullback, Trevell Jackson. “That’s what people were trying to do early,” Howell said, “and it helped open things up for our quarterback [Jason Baughman], our other running back [Jamiah Williamson] and our receivers. Because of Trevell, our offense is a lot more diversified this year.” Pacifica’s offense hasn’t been as explosive, but it has scored more than 40 points five times. Brent Kirkland and Matt Reis have shared the quarterback job.
