PREP FOOTBALL GAMES AT A GLANCE

Los Angeles Loyola (11-0) vs. Esperanza (9-2)
7:30 TONIGHT
VALENCIA HIGH
For those who like it when teams line up and try to beat each other into submission, this will be that kind of game. Quarterback Grant Wagner has enjoyed a big passing year, but the Aztecs would much rather let their large offensive line open holes for Brent Garrison and Jamie Smith. Unbeaten Loyola is of a similar philosophy: The big boys up front break down the defensive walls and let running backs Stephen Faulk and Wesley Willard--who combined for 263 yards against Long Beach Millikan--run free. Esperanza’s victory over Mission Viejo was its first in the playoffs since 1992.
