The air near Tustin High has been deemed unhealthy for athletic events. The condition has been caused by a fire that destroyed the north hangar at the Marine Corps Air Station this week.

Foothill is the home team for the Division 5 quarterfinal game against Newbury Park. Foothill plays its home football games at Northrup Field, which is on the Tustin High campus.

The decision to move the game was made Thursday.

Foothill coach Doug Case said the school had secured Valencia High’s Bradford Stadium, which is roughly 14 miles north of Tustin High, as a backup location when the game’s status was in doubt.

Tustin Unified School District schools were closed Thursday because of the air quality, so Foothill was not allowed to practice.

Foothill defeated Aquinas last week to advance to the Division 5 quarterfinals.

The quarterfinals of the CIF Southern Section playoffs are this week, and the big matchup is Servite vs. Long Beach Poly in Division 2. See what they have to say about that game and other top contests this week.

GAME OF THE WEEK

DIVISION 2

Long Beach Poly (10-1) vs. Servite (6-5)

Where, when: Cerritos College, Friday, 7 p.m.

Analysis: Long Beach Poly has been led this season by Colorado State-committed senior quarterback Darius Curry, who is averaging 265 passing yards a game. Curry had a rough start in the Jackrabbits’ first-round playoff game last week before settling down to beat Vista Murrieta 30-21. Servite beat Valencia 40-24 last week. The key to this game, from the Servite perspective, might be the first 6-12 minutes of the game. If Poly is ahead by a hefty margin early, like 14-0 or 21-7, that could be the disadvantage that the youngish Servite guys can’t overcome. The Friars’ best skill-position players are juniors or sophomores like junior running back Quaid Carr and junior quarter Leo Hannan. If Servite is ahead or even during that time frame, the Friars just might win it by a close margin. Poly’s only loss was Bishop Gorman of Las Vegas, which is ranked No. 1 in the nation by MaxPreps. The Jackrabbits are so fast at the skill positions they will likely race to an early lead and keep it.

Winner: Long Beach Poly

Los Alamitos (9-2) vs. Serra (8-3)

Where, when: Serra High School, Friday, 7 p.m.

Analysis: The Los Alamitos football team that yours truly watched beat Edison two weeks ago was not the same team viewed in September when the Griffins lost to Mission Viejo. The Griffins are better now. The biggest difference from September to now is the Los Alamitos defense. It starts with 312-pound sophomore Manoah Faupusa at nose tackle and goes out to linebackers Kamar Mothudi and Jackson Reguse and defensive back Isaiah Rubin. The Griffins beat Upland 56-31 last week. Serra, which finished second to Division 1 playoff team Sierra Canyon in the great Mission League, defeated league rival Bishop Amat 48-14 in the first round. The Cavaliers’ offensive star is running back Cincere Rhaney, who averages 152 rushing yards a game and 10 yards a carry. The Los Alamitos defense is going to deny Rhaney the running room he often enjoys and the Griffins will create enough points to win what looks to be a close game.

Winner: Los Alamitos

Oaks Christian (9-2) vs. Mission Viejo (8-3)

Where, when: Mission Viejo High School, Friday, 7 p.m.

Analysis: Five Marmonte League teams qualified for the CIF Southern Section playoffs. Four of them won their first-round games including Oaks Christian which beat Chaparral 41-7. Senior quarterback Nate Bennett (Baylor commit) completed 16 of 20 passes for 238 yards and three touchdowns. Senior receiver Chase Farrell (Stanford commit) had 10 receptions for 167 yards and three touchdowns. Mission Viejo, a 59-35 winner over Palos Verdes last week, can challenge an opponent’s passing game with a pass rush led by junior defensive end Jaden Williams (10.5 sacks, 23 tackles for loss) and a shutdown defensive backfield that features junior Dijon Lee Jr. That group will bring victory to the Diablos.

Winner: Mission Viejo

DIVISION 1

Orange Lutheran (5-5) vs. Centennial (8-2)

Where, when: Centennial High School, Friday, 7 p.m.

Analysis: Orange Lutheran might be a year away from winning a game like this one, a playoff away game against an outstanding opponent. Lancers quarterback TJ Lateef and running back Steve Chavez are juniors as is leading tackler Keelan Tagoa’i, a defensive lineman. Orange Lutheran tied with JSerra for third place in the tremendous Trinity League. The Lancers lost their final two regular-season games to the two best teams in California, Mater Dei and St. John Bosco. Like Orange Lutheran, Centennial lost to Mater Dei and defeated Santa Margarita. Centennial’s other loss was to national No. 1 Bishop Gorman. Huskies senior running back Cornell Hatcher averages 185 rushing yards a game and 9 yards a carry. The Centennial offensive line, including Iowa State-committed Wade Helton, is splendid. Centennial quarterback Husan Longstreet, All-CIF last year at Inglewood, has offers from Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, Oregon, UCLA and many others. Centennial has too much at just about every position for Orange Lutheran.

Winner: Centennial

DIVISION 4

La Serna (8-3) vs. Trabuco Hills (8-3)

Where, when: Trabuco Hills High School, Friday, 7 p.m.

Analysis: La Serna is seeded second in Division 4. The Lancers, champions of the Del Rio League, beat Great Oak in the first round 46-21. Their three losses were to Los Alamitos, Warren and Damien. During the regular season La Serna beat Tesoro 30-17; Trabuco Hills lost to Tesoro 42-14. Trabuco Hills grits out whatever wins they get, and that’s how the Mustangs beat Newport Harbor 24-21 in last week’s first round. Trabuco senior Taylor Bowie ran for 223 yards and three touchdowns last week. La Serna averages 219 rushing yards a game. Trabuco Hills can be counted upon for a spirited fight, but that La Serna ground game is quite the force.

Winner: La Serna

Buena Park football coach David Prieto knew the Coyotes’ return to the CIF-SS playoffs resonated with his community. But when the third-year coach spotted the guests on the sideline, his heart overflowed.

A few former Buena Park players attend the playoff game against visiting Arroyo Valley on Friday. The group included former standout Elijah Gates (UCLA/Fresno State) as the Coyotes played in their first postseason game since 2016.

“These kids really work hard every day, so for people to come back and recognize them and show them that they matter,” Prieto said, “that’s an amazing feeling.”

The Coyotes (6-5) rewarded their faithful by defeating Arroyo Valley 62-30 in the first round of the Division 12 playoffs.

It was Buena Park’s first playoff victory since 2016 under former coach Anthony White, now at Santa Ana College, and arrived two seasons after it finished 0-10.

In advancing to this Friday’s quarterfinals at No. 2-seeded Yucca Valley (8-3), the Coyotes showcased many of the attributes that sparked a run to an at-large berth out of the Freeway League. They ran the ball well and leaned on several young players.

Buena Park rushed for 484 yards and six touchdowns.

Senior running back Jaden Moore paced the attack by rushing for 262 yards and three touchdowns. Danny Washington, also a senior, added 88 yards as the duo continued to produce.

“A little thunder and lightning combo,” Prieto said of the power-running Washington and shifty Moore.

Prieto said the Coyotes’ offensive line continued to play well. The group consists of sophomores Nestor Diaz and Anthony Gonzalez and seniors Allen Boswell, Jesus Sandoval, Erik Lopez and Emanuel Rodriguez.

“Our offensive line has kind of been the most consistent group all year,” sad Prieto, a former lineman at Fullerton and Mt. SAC.

Buena Park’s offense stated freshman quarterback Elacion Saxton, who threw three touchdowns.

The defense received several key contributions, especially some from a few emerging players.

Sophomore Alex Blancas, one of the team’s leading tackers, collected six tackles as he teamed with Washington and Warren transfer Jacob Taylor at linebacker.

Free safety Anthony Irons, who transferred from Downey just before the season, had eight tackles and his seventh interception.

“Great team leader,” Prieto said of Irons. “He’s one of our captains. That tells you a lot.”

Strong safety JeRon Johnson, a freshman, recorded eight tackles and an interception. Johnson arrived from the Inland Empire Ducks’ powerhouse youth program.

Freshman cornerback Hakim Frampton also had an interception. He was offered by Arizona over the weekend.

“He’s a lockdown corner,” Prieto said of Frampton. “We usually try to put him on the best receiver.”

Buena Park hopes to keep the momentum going Friday against Yucca Valley. The Coyotes haven’t reached the semifinals since 2015.

The community has noticed. Former lineman Ryan Nelson (Virginia) has been sending encouraging messages to the team, Prieto said.

“We’re pointed in the right direction,” the coach said, “so we’re excited.”

NOTES

The Freeway (4-0), Sea View (3-0) and South Coast (2-0) leagues went undefeated in the first round of the playoffs. …

Resurgent La Habra (7-4) has found success with its quarterback rotation of junior Kenny Saucedo and freshman DJ Mitchell. In a 41-21 victory against West Ranch last week in Division 6, Saucedo completed 6 of 7 passes for 165 yards and two TDs. Mitchell went 7 for 7 for 107 yards and a score. Senior wide receiver Bryce Whitley had 10 catches for 200 yards and two TDs. …

Troy sophomore Ethan Mundt and Western junior Malachi Alatorre played well on both sides of the ball in playoff victories last week.

Mundt rushed for 181 yards, scored four TDs and collected six tackles and an interception in a 41-28 victory against Monrovia in Division 9. Alatorre rushed for 140 yards, recorded 14 tackles and returned an interception 37 yards for a score in a 42-14 victory at Colony in Division 5. …

Servite junior defensive end Tommy Cernius had four sacks in the Friars’ 48-24 victory against Valencia of Valencia in Division 2 last week. …

San Clemente running back Aiden Rubin has set the school’s single-season record for rushing touchdowns with 20 in 10 games. The senior broke Josh Ferrell’s record of 17 in 2006. …

Ocean View defeated Bolsa Grande 35-28 in Division 14 for its first playoff victory since 2011.

TOP 10 CIF-SS TITLE CONTENDERS

1. Mater Dei (9-1) Division 1

Why the Monarchs will win: Mater Dei has won the CIF-SS Division 1 championship or been a finalist in every season since 2015. The Monarchs suffered their first shutout loss since 2011 against St. John Bosco earlier this year, so some of the mystique around Mater Dei is lacking compared to previous seasons.

That 28-0 loss shouldn’t cause people to write off the Monarchs in the Division 1 bracket. Elijah Brown is 38-2 as a starting quarterback and the Monarchs are loaded with top talent at nearly every position.

2. Whittier Christian (7-4), Division 14

Why the Heralds will win: Whittier Christian won the Division 14 championship last season and dominated Duarte 41-14 in round one of the playoffs last week. Jake Martinez ran for over 1,000 yards this season and had 90 yards against Duarte.

Quarterback Caleb Mer had a completion percentage below 50 this season but had a big game against Duarte. The senior completed 10 of 16 passes for 197 yards with four touchdowns. John Rojas had 16 tackles with an interception to lead the defense.

3. San Juan Hills (10-1), Division 3

Why the Stallions will win: San Juan Hills was very impressive in its convincing first-round win over St. Francis. The defense took advantage of three turnovers in the first half and scored off all three of them.

The linebacking duo of Weston Port and Jake Javorsky is among the best in the county and the secondary stepped up against St. Francis. Christopher Williams had two interceptions and Isaiah Bennett recovered a fumble. Javorsky had 14 tackles with three sacks in the win.

If the Stallions keep winning the turnover battle, they have the talent on both sides of the ball to make a championship run.

4. Mission Viejo (8-3), Division 2

Why the Diablos will win: The Diablos scored eight touchdowns in a win over previously undefeated Palos Verdes in the first round. Sophomore quarterback Luke Fahey had the best game of his young career with 236 yards and three touchdown passes.

Draiden Trudeau also threw three touchdown passes and Hinesward Lilomaiava had two touchdown runs. Vance Spafford had 173 yards receiving with three touchdowns.

If the offense keeps rolling the way it did in the first round, the Diablos can beat anybody in the bracket.

5. Los Alamitos (9-2), Division 2

Why the Griffins will win: Defense and special teams were big for Los Alamitos in its first-round win over Upland. Isaiah Rubin returned an interception for a touchdown and on the ensuing kickoff, Jackson Bennett recovered a fumble and scored for a 14-point swing.

On offense, Alonzo Esparza is an All-County candidate at quarterback and the running back duo of Anthony League and Lenny Ibarra can score at any time.

6. El Dorado (6-5), Division 7

Why the Golden Hawks will win: El Dorado held a high-powered Laguna Beach offense to just seven points last week and 22 yards rushing. The Golden Hawks are physical and dominated Laguna Beach at the line of scrimmage.

Nate Bento completed all 10 of his pass attempts for 131 yards and a pair of touchdowns. El Dorado ran for 171 yards with Isaiah Quintero leading the way with 84.

El Dorado is healthy at the right time. If it can physically bully teams the way it did in the first round, the Golden Hawks could make a playoff run.

7. La Habra (7-4), Division 6

Why the Highlanders will win: The La Habra quarterback duo of Kenneth Saucedo and DJ Mitchell completed 13 of 14 passes for 272 yards and three touchdowns in a first-round win over West Ranch. Saucedo also ran for a touchdown.

La Habra has a tough quarterfinals matchup against Murrieta Mesa, which is coached by former JSerra, Tesoro and Servite assistant coach Oscar McBride.

8. Western (10-1), Division 5

Why the Pioneers will win: Western dominated Colony of Ontario in the first round of the Division 5 playoffs and ran for 246 yards. Malachi Alatorre ran for 140 yards and Joshua Faulkner ran for 102 with a touchdown.

Anthony Luna performed well at quarterback with 195 yards passing and three touchdowns. Clayton Corbett had a team-high 14 tackles and Alatorre added 12 tackles with an interception.

9. Buena Park (6-5), Division 12

Why the Coyotes will win: Buena Park has the talent at the skill positions to overwhelm a lot of teams in Division 12.

Jaden Moore ran for 262 yards with three touchdowns in round one against Arroyo Valley. Running back Danny Washington had over 100 yards of offense with two touchdowns. Anthony Irons returned an interception for a touchdown.

Buena Park has more talent than a lot of teams in Division 12 and playing a tough Freeway League schedule will pay off for the Coyotes.

10. Aliso Niguel (7-4), Division 8

Why the Wolverines will win: Hunter Najm is a dual-threat quarterback who ran for two touchdowns in a first-round win over Lawndale. Jarett Sabol ran for a touchdown against Lawndale.

Aliso Niguel will face Jurupa Hills and its high-powered running offense in the quarterfinals. The Wolverines have experience against teams who run the ball well, having faced Capistrano Valley and San Juan Hills this season.
