Lake Forest El Toro (9-0, 4-0) at Mission Viejo (9-0, 4-0), 7:30 p.m. — Mission Viejo is averaging 51.8 points. El Toro is averaging 47.2. It should be a wild offensive circus in this South Coast League title decider. Mission Viejo’s versatile Max Redfield, who has committed to USC, continues to make big plays. Running back Alex Suchesk has exceptional speed. El Toro will feature quarterback Conner Manning and running back Jacob Furnari. The pick: Mission Viejo.

Santa Margarita (8-1, 3-1) at Bellflower St. John Bosco (5-4, 4-0), 7:30 p.m. — St. John Bosco can win its first Trinity League championship with a victory. The Braves have more team speed than the Eagles, but running back Darren Walker didn’t play last week because of a leg injury. Each team has a sophomore quarterback: Josh Rosen at St. John Bosco and Kyle Sweet at Santa Margarita. Limiting mistakes and turnovers will be key. The pick: Santa Margarita.
