No. 2 Esperanza (5-1, 1-0) vs. Edison (5-1, 1-0)

7 P.M. FRIDAY

ORANGE COAST COLLEGE

Looking for balance? Esperanza has two players who have scored four touchdowns (Brent Garrison, Jamaal Footman), and three who have three (Bryan Moore, David Parrish, Jamie Smith); not to mention Rod Jackson, whose 22.2 yards per catch is formidable. Esperanza’s emotional 24-20 victory over rival Los Alamitos couldn’t have come at a better time for Edison; there’s a chance Esperanza will be flat, and if that happens, it’s up to the Chargers to bring the Aztecs back to the pack for the rest of the Sunset League. The Chargers’ best defense? Ball control. Lots of it.
