A look at this week’s top high school football game in the Southland:

Friday’s game

Norco (4-0) vs. Chatsworth Sierra Canyon (2-2) at Calabasas, 7 p.m.

Two schools that are very much alive for Southern Section Division 1 playoff berths meet. No. 6 Sierra Canyon hasn’t been able to overcome second-half lapses in losses to No. 4 Corona Centennial and No. 3 Anaheim Servite. Running back Jason Jones will try to help open up the passing game. No. 5 Norco has a high-powered offense led by quarterback Kyle Crum and running back Jaydn Ott. It’s going to come down to controlling the clock in the second half. The pick: Norco.
