* Esperanza at Fountain Valley, 3 p.m. Friday: The Aztecs broke Fountain Valley’s three-year grip on the Sunset League title on their way to winning the Southern Section Division I championship last season. They are 10th ranked this season. Seventh-ranked Fountain Valley wants the title back.

* Santa Margarita at El Toro, 3 p.m. Friday: The sixth-ranked Eagles, who began the season as the county’s top-ranked team, face perhaps their strongest challenger for the Sea View League championship. Leading the Chargers is last year’s all-county infielder Clemente Bonilla, who began the week batting .519.
