Calabasas (0-0) at El Camino Real (0-0)

Outlook: These teams opened the season last year as well, with El Camino Real dominating the Coyotes during a 28-0 victory.

CHS posted a respectable 92 rushing yards in the loss, but was held to only 72 yards through the air on 7-of-18 completions by quarterback Kevin May.

May also threw two interceptions, and those mistakes will need to be scaled back this time around for the Coyotes to compete.

Offensive line play will be critical for CHS in this one.

Although undersized, the Calabasas line will need to give May time to throw the football and open up running lanes for running back Steve Smith and fullback Bobby Sokolowski.

Oaks Christian (1-0)

at Muir (0-0)

Outlook: After hammering Lompoc, 49-0, to open the season last weekend, Oaks Christian is back on the road Friday to take on Muir, a team they defeated 57-0 in the opener a year ago.

Quarterback Jimmy Clausen completed 10-of-18 passes for 201 yards, four touchdowns and one interception against Lompoc.

Running back Marc Tyler, meanwhile, had 12 rushing attempts for 224 yards (18.6 yards per carry) and scored twice for the Lions.

Muir was unable to find the end zone in last year’s matchup, and judging from the way the OCHS defense played against Lompoc-they had nine sacks and three interceptions- things don’t figure to get any easier tomorrow.
