El Toro (2-2) vs. El Dorado (3-1)
7:30 TONIGHT VALENCIA HIGH
El Dorado has lost both meetings between these teams: 49-2 in Coach Rick Jones’ 1988 El Dorado debut and 37-2 in the first round of the 1996 Southern Section playoffs. Led by running back Nick Zehner’s 493 yards and eight touchdowns, the Golden Hawks are averaging nearly 22 points. El Toro counters with a big, physical offensive line and a two-pronged running attack with bruising 6-foot, 215-pound fullback Ryan Switzer and slashing 5-10, 170-pound halfback Nick Walsh. They have combined for nearly 600 yards. Strong-armed quarterback Evan Whitaker adds balance.
