Prep Rally: Previewing the big high school football game of zero week
After months of preparation, the high school football season begins this weekend. Here are some attractive games to watch.
North Hollywood at Granada Hills. If you want to see a game that lasts less than 90 minutes, this Thursday game is it. Two double-wing teams running the ball again and again. They played in last year's City playoffs. You better eat that hot dog quick. The pick: Granada Hills.
Mayfair vs. Yorba Linda at SoFi Stadium, 5 p.m.. You'll have to pay a hefty fee for parking and to get in on Thursday night, but Yorba Linda is a top 25 team. The pick: Yorba Linda.
Eagle Rock at Kennedy. It's two All-City quarterbacks going at it on Friday night, with Liam Pasten vs. Diego Montes. Both teams are favored to win their respective leagues, so this is big for playoff seedings. The pick: Eagle Rock.
Leuzinger vs. Long Beach Poly at Veterans Stadium. It's the senior season for the little running back that will run through a brick wall if needed, Leuzinger's Journee Tonga. Combined with quarterback Russell Sekona, that's a formidable duo. Poly returns veteran quarterback Deuce Jefferson for first-year coach Justin Utupo. Look for a close, intense matchup. The pick: Leuzinger.
Mission Viejo vs. Santa Margarita at Trabuco Hills. Carson Palmer debuts as head coach for the Eagles, which have perhaps the toughest schedule in Southern California. It won't be easy taking down quarterback Luke Fahey & Co., but the return of Trent Mosley at receiver, the arrival of Trace Johnson at quarterback and a strong defensive line makes this the most intriguing game of the night. The pick: Mission Viejo.
Downey at Sherman Oaks Notre Dame. Downey quarterback Oscar Rios is a magician with his arm and legs. Notre Dame won't have USC commit Luc Weaver at receiver (injured). Quarterback Wyatt Brown debuts for the Knights. This game is certain to go down to the final seconds. The pick: Downey.
JSerra at Sierra Canyon. Keep track of touchdowns allowed by Sierra Canyon this season. There won't be many. That's how good defensively the Trailblazers are. Sierra Canyon has aspirations of being a Final Four team in Division 1 and this will be the first big test. The pick: Sierra Canyon.
Newbury Park at Long Beach Millikan. It's the final season for quarterback Brady Smigiel, and he'll have to wait until the sit-out period ends to get his full complement of receivers, giving Millikan the opening to try for an upset. The pick: Newbury Park.
Hart at Birmingham. The Patriots begin their annual five-game stretch of playing Southern Section teams. They intend to feature an offensive line filled with 300 pounders. One lineman won the pizza eating contest with 10 slices in seven minutes. Hart returns a veteran quarterback in Jacob Paisano. The pick: Hart.
Orange Lutheran at Miami Northwestern. This was supposed to be a big national game, with Teddy Bridgewater coaching Northwestern. He was suspended, so now Orange Lutheran gets to show off its powerful offensive and defensive lines to help its new quarterbacks. The pick: Orange Lutheran.
St. John Bosco at Bradenton (Fla.) Manatee. The Braves get a nice trip to Florida to show off their many skill-position players. The pick: St. John Bosco.
Mater Dei at Florida St. Aquinas. It's another national TV game on Saturday in which the No. 1-ranked Monarchs are going to dominate. Who's going to stop their exceptional receiving group featuring tight end Mark Bowman, a USC commit, and two Ohio State commits? The answer is no one. The pick: Mater Dei.
Here's the link to the complete zero week schedule of games.
The Valley Mission League held a media day. Kennedy and San Fernando are considered the league favorites but don't forget about Van Nuys and quarterback Carlos Herrera. Here's a report.

JSerra has three of the best freshmen players in Tessa Russell, Katie Meier and Ava Irwin. Irwin is the sister of former Hart, Stanford and NFL receiver Trent Irwin, so catching passes comes in the family.

Lorenzo Booker was once one of the top running backs in California, if not the nation, in 2001 at St. Bonaventure.

Top-40 class of 2026 basketball recruit announces visit to UNC
The North Carolina Tar Heels have an extensive list of offers in their 2026 basketball recruiting class, with a few of those targets already scheduling visits to Chapel Hill. On Monday, UNC just got word that one of its 13 targets has an official visit scheduled. Maximo Adams, a 4-star small forward who plays at Sierra Canyon School in the Los Angeles suburbs, scheduled North Carolina for one of his six visits. Adams is ranked 40th overall nationally, 17th amongst small forwards and the sixth-ranked prospect in California. Along with Qayden Samuels, Anthony Thompson, Tajh Ariza, Cameron Holmes and Bryson Howard, Adams is one of six wings to receive an offer in the Tar Heels' 2026 class. Though UNC generated most of its 2024 offense from the backcourt, it was small forward Drake Powell who played a major factor in a late-season, NCAA Tournament push. Now a member of the Brooklyn Nets, Powell proved to be a 5-tool player who can handle the ball, throw down massive dunks, snag rebounds and drain 3-pointers. North Carolina has some strong competition for Adams amongst the fellow schools he'll be visiting. Kentucky, Michigan State, Kansas, Duke and Texas all made the Big Dance in March, with the Blue Devils facing Houston in the Final Four. The Tar Heels landed a strong 2025 recruiting class: 5-star power forward Caleb Wilson, ranked Top 10 nationally amongst all recruits, plus a pair of combo guards in Derek Dixon and Isaiah Denis. If Adams chooses UNC as his next destination, he'll continue to prove that Hubert Davis know how to land top-end talent.
