7 TONIGHT SANTA ANA STADIUM

Each team posted a lopsided victory in its opener, but only one will keep the momentum going tonight. Last week, Santa Ana Valley pounded Santiago, 42-7, and Fullerton topped Anaheim, 36-6. Fullerton displayed quite an offensive punch with receiver Daniel Fells and running back Ryan Murray. Fells had six of his seven receptions in the game’s first 10 minutes, and Murray finished with three touchdowns. Santa Ana Valley has a stifling defense that had two sacks and forced two fumbles last week. Quarterback James Burgueno leads the Falcon offense.
