No. 4 Santa Margarita (2-0) vs. Dana Hills (1-1)

7:30 TONIGHT DANA HILLS HIGH

Dana Hills Coach Scott Orloff wanted a tough nonleague schedule to prepare his team for the rigors of the South Coast League. Well, he got it. The Dolphins were pounded by top-ranked Los Alamitos, 65-28, last week and now they get the fourth-ranked Eagles. “We’ve probably got the second toughest schedule in the county behind Mater Dei,” Orloff said. “I don’t think Santa Margarita is as good as Los Alamitos, but they’re awfully good.” Orloff said his team’s inexperience on defense was evident against Los Alamitos. “If we don’t step up and learn how to tackle, we might give up another 65.”
