Breakdown: Ocean View (5-2) opens Pac 4 League play with a home game against reigning CIF Southern Section Division 11 champion Western (6-1) … Ocean View stunned Western in the league finale last season, beating the Pioneers 45-7 to forge a three-way tie for the league crown with Western and Laguna Beach. It marked the Seahawks’ first league title in football since 1989 … If the Seahawks can get their ground game going early, it could help limit the time of possession for a dangerous Western offense … Caine Savage (committed to Arizona State) and Cassius Savage (committed to San Diego State) have combined for 17 receiving touchdowns. Western, ranked No. 8 in Division 10, had shut out five consecutive opponents before defeating Lakewood Artesia 34-23 last week.
