Football: Schedule For Week 2

San Clemente plays for the first time since the death of Nick Pasquale, and JSerra tried to prove itself against a highly regarded Sunset League opponent.


By Martin Henderson


Here is the Week 2 football schedule for teams in Patch cities in Orange County. Games begin at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted. 

The schedule includes the Mission Viejo Classic, a collection of four games featuring some of the top teams from their states, including the No. 1 team in the nation according to Maxpreps.com, Bellflower St. John Bosco. 

In addition to Mission Viejo hosting Ramsey (NJ) Don Bosco Tech, which spanked the Diablos two years ago, 35-7, in New Jersey, the top games of the week appear to include: 

  • San Clemente plays for the first time since the death Sunday of former player Nick Pasquale, who was part of the 2011 team that reached the Pac-5 championship. It should be emotional as the Tritons take on Dana Hills.
  • A defending section champion, Palos Verdes, playing at Newport Harbor, one of two nonleague opponents for the Sailors who won section titles last year.
  • Huntington Beach taking on JSerra in a good test for both teams. If either team hopes to be considered a top 10-type team, it has to win this game.
  • Trabuco Hills playing Fountain Valley, which seems to be much improved under new coach Ray Fenton. Trabuco is still new to the top 10 fuss. On the heels of Trabuco's 35-20 win over Newport, this will provide a better read on Fountain Valley and the Sunset League.
