Mission Viejo 49, El Toro 7 (recap)

MISSION VIEJO - The anticipated offensive showdown between No. 1 Mission Viejo and No. 2 El Toro took a back seat to a defensive clinic Friday night.

Mission Viejo’s defense handed out the lessons as the Diablos made their case for the No. 1 seed in the Pac-5 Division playoffs.

Mission Viejo intercepted reigning Register offensive player of the year Conner Manning six times en route to a 49-7 victory that sealed the South Coast League in front an estimated 7,500 at Mission Viejo.
