Serra vs. Orange Lutheran highlights top Southland football games this week
Here are some of the top Southland high school football games this week:
Friday’s games
Gardena Serra vs. Orange Lutheran at Orange Coast College, 7 p.m. The last time on a football field, Orange Lutheran gave up 435 yards rushing and seven touchdowns to Cathedral Catholic’s Lucky Sutton in a state playoff game. Serra has a similar rushing attack, led by Cincere Rhaney and Kai Honda. The Lancers are breaking in a new quarterback and will need their offensive and defensive lines to make an impact. The pick: Serra.
Granada Hills at Arleta, 3:30 p.m. The Highlanders’ double-wing offense has the speedy Dijon Stanley healthy and ready to run in his senior year. Committed to Utah, Stanley should be able to put on a show. But Arleta has its own offensive firepower, led by quarterback Kennedy Duran, so it’s going to be an entertaining City Section day opener. The pick: Granada Hills.
Eric Sondheimer offers some intriguing storylines as the 2022 high school football season begins this week.
