Sage Hill vs. Viewpoint
When/where: Tonight, 7 at Sage Hill School
Key Lightning: Sr. RB-LB Dusty Orrantia (346 rushing yards and three TDs on 66 carries); Sr. QB Andy Multari (120 rushing and 55 passing yards last week); Sr. TE-DE Connor Gaughan (six catches, 129 yards, three TDs).
Breakdown: Week 2 of the four-week get well tour continues for the Lightning (3-1), who entertain the Patriots (0-3) in a nonleague game. Sage Hill, ranked No. 10 in the CIF Southern East Valley Division, is without junior quarterback Randall Mycorn (separated shoulder) and senior center-linebacker Brendan Killaly (sprained knee). Sage aims to continue to win as it eventually replenishes its roster ... Multari, a converted receiver, filled in capably for Mycorn. Multari rushed for 120 yards and a TD on 11 carries and completed three of five passes for 55 yards and another TD in last week’s 43-6 trouncing of Silver Valley of Yermo ... Viewpoint of Calabasas has averaged just 12 points this season and the Lightning defense is allowing just fewer than 17 per contest ... Orrantia has been a catalyst on both sides of the ball.

Key Mustangs: Sr. C Travis Whitlock; Sr. LB Brian Waldron; Sr. RB Tyler Sheffner (182 yards and two TDs on 40 carries)

The Seahawks’ offense has only one touchdown this season.
