Pacifica (5-4, 4-1) vs. Rancho Alamitos (5-3-1, 3-1-1)

7 TONIGHT GARDEN GROVE HIGH

After two off years, Rancho Alamitos is back in the playoff hunt with its first-year coach, Mike Enright, an assistant last year at Esperanza. If the Vaqueros win, they will probably tie for second with Los Amigos. A loss means the Vaqueros probably miss the playoffs for a third consecutive year. If Rancho is going to win, it must move the ball with its three-week-old “fly offense” and keep it away from Javon Smith, 11th in the county with 1,132 yards rushing. “We’ve got to go out and play the perfect game,” Enright said. Pacifica can finish first with a victory and or as low as fourth with a loss.
