I) Scrape past Narbonne, 10-6; guilty of looking ahead to Mater Dei? (10) 11 S.O. NOTRE DAME (4-1, SS-Div. III) Escaped with 24-23 win when Valencia failed on two-point conversion try. (11) 12 CORONA CENTENNIAL (3-2, SS-Div. V) One of section’s most potent offenses, but defense is suspect. (12) 13 VENICE (5-0, City) Beau Davis completed 11 passes, six for TDs, against Franklin.
