The county’s high school football scene produced a lot of excitement and drama Friday night as teams played their Week 8 games.
There were plenty of stars on the field, and you can read all about them at ocvarsity.com. The big games included Mater Dei vs. St. John Bosco, La Haba vs. Buena Park and San Clemente vs. San Juan Hills.
In this slideshow, we have a collection of photos of the night’s other “stars” – the spirited fans, bands and cheerleaders in the stands and on the slidelines.
