A look at this week's top high school football games in the Southland: THURSDAY Oxnard Pacifica (4-0) at Hamilton (2-2), 4 p.m. It's a last-minute game put on the schedule after both schools had opponents drop out. But what a quarterback matchup it features. Pacifica's Taylor Lee vs. Hamilton freshman Thaddeus Breaux. Lee has 15 touchdown passes in the last two games. The pick: Pacifica.

Crazy? Probably, Mendoza said when asked if he envisioned leaning on the young trio of righties at this time of the year. If you would've asked me a couple months ago that all three of them were going to be here, I probably would've said that one of them might be here. Gotta give them credit. Trust and believe in them.
