Ocean View (7-3) vs. Kennedy (7-3)

7:30 TONIGHT WESTERN HIGH

Go ahead and toss out Ocean View’s 78-7 loss to Tustin in its regular-season finale; the Seahawks are better than that score indicated. Ocean View will get a shot at redemption tonight when it meets Kennedy, which needed a last-minute field goal to edge Cypress in its finale. Still, the Fighting Irish defense has been impressive, limiting its last four opponents to an average of seven points per game. On offense, the Irish will need running back Kelvin Beatty to offset the production of Seahawk quarterback Deshai Houston, whose touchdown-to-interception ratio is better than three to one.
