Santa Margarita at Mission Viejo 7:30 PST Fox Sports West Television
The televised Game of the Week features Santa Margarita against Mission Viejo in a game that will feature multiple players who will play on Saturdays.
Santa Margarita's offensive line is anchored by left tackle Max Tuerk who is committed to USC. Tuerk seems to be the lone big name senior on a team loaded with juniors including linemates Erik Bunte and Riley Sorenson. Quarterback Johnny Stanton and running back Ryan Wolpin are also juniors and they were literally unstoppable against Long Beach Poly last week.
Mission Viejo will counter with a 1-2 running back punch consisting of USC commitment Jahleel Pinner and Buzzy Yokoyama. Junior safety Max Redfield is arguably the best skill position player on either team.
