LEAVING IT ALL ON THE FIELD-(Clockwise from top right) Oak Park senior running back Josh Moskowitz tries to escape from the grasp of an Oaks Christian defender. Moskowitz, donning his flashy golden shoes, sparked the Eagles rally in the second half with his hard-nosed running. OC star quarterback Jimmy Clausen and lineman Joe Dembesky hold up another CIF championship plaque to put up in the school's ever-growing trophy room. Oak Park teammates Steven Lua and Doug Deakin console one another following the loss. OPHS will graduate 21 seniors from this year's 12-2 team. Lion running back Aaron Ware tries to break free from the hold of OP senior Hunter Baxtley. Ware, forced to pick up the slack when Marc Tyler went down early with an ankle injury, reminded fans why he was one of the area's most prolific backs over the past three seasons. His 60-yard TD reception in the third quarter put the Eagles away for good.

Oaks Christian battled in front of a packed house last Saturday night in Thousand Oaks. The result was a

hard-fought 39-21 victory by the Lions that wasn’t decided until the final quarter. The win completes a perfect

14-0 season for OC and gives the private school its second Div. XI championship in two years.
