CIF SAN DIEGO SECTION DIVISION III — QUARTERFINALS
No. 9 seed VALHALLA (7-4) at No. 1 seed STEELE CANYON (5-5)

Last week, I picked Steele Canyon to beat whichever team came out of Valhalla–Christian. The Norsemen came through, 18-13, and gave me a good reason to think twice. The pick stands, but this one could come down to a kick.

T’Marrion Williams showed why against Christian. He turned two short throws into touchdowns of 90 and 58 yards, both down the left sideline.

Adrian Wilson Jr. found Camryn Conley for a 26-yard touchdown with 3:31 left, and when Christian closed within five, Valhalla recovered the onside kick and picked up the first down it needed to run out the clock. That’s a useful answer for a team that went scoreless in the second half of its losses to Santana and El Capitan.

The concern is what happened after those touchdowns. Valhalla came away with no points on three extra-point tries, two of which Christian blocked. The Norsemen did enough to win anyway, but against the top seed, leaving three points on the field could be the difference.

Steele Canyon comes off a first-round bye, with a 36-22 win over Mount Miguel as its last game. Gavin Caha threw two touchdown passes that night and has 20 on the season, seven to Josiah Stocker.

Michael Ortiguero Jr. added two second-half touchdown runs, and Laith Jamous had three of the Cougars’ five sacks. That’s the balance Steele Canyon needs against a Valhalla defense averaging 3.6 sacks per game.

If Kaleb Osoimalo and the Norsemen can put Caha in third and long, they can keep the Cougars from dictating the pace.

Valhalla has an answer on the ground, too. Jayden Hunter has 18 rushing touchdowns, so Steele Canyon can’t devote all its attention to Williams. The first job is to tackle Williams where he catches the ball. Christian twice found out what happens when the first defender misses.

The common opponent gives Steele Canyon a slight edge: The Cougars beat El Capitan, while Valhalla led the Vaqueros 27-7 before losing 38-27. Valhalla closed the door against Christian, and I expect the Norsemen to be in this one late, too. I’ll take Caha and Stocker to produce the last scoring drive.

Friday brings back the Jamacha Helmet rivalry, though there’s no confirmation yet that the trophy itself will be on the line. Steele Canyon leads the series 12-9-1 and has won six straight, including 58-6 last season. But Valhalla won their only previous playoff meeting, 28-0 in the 2008 semifinals. The Norsemen’s last win in the series was 21-14 in 2016.

FEARLESS FORECASTER: STEELE CANYON 31, VALHALLA 28

CIF SAN DIEGO SECTION DIVISION I — QUARTERFINALS
No. 8 seed TORREY PINES (6-4) at No. 1 seed HELIX (8-2)

The top seed in Division I hasn’t played a down of playoff football yet. Helix spent last Friday watching the rest of the section go at it. Now the Highlanders get a Torrey Pines team that knocked La Costa Canyon out of the Open Division in its regular-season finale. That’s a tough draw for an opener, even at home.

Helix has won five straight, scoring at least 42 points in every one. A year after going 5-7 and losing a home playoff game to Steele Canyon, the Highlanders went unbeaten in the Grossmont Hills League and took the title back with a 42-31 win over Granite Hills. Now they’re chasing their first section championship since winning the Open Division in 2019.

Caden Thompson threw four touchdown passes against Granite Hills, two each to Jeremy Robinson and Jacob “J.J.” Andrew-Johnson. Robinson turned a short throw into the go-ahead 25-yard touchdown with 7:39 left.

LaMarquis Sutton intercepted a pass in the end zone to protect the lead, and Stephon Fuentes helped run down the clock before Thompson hit Andrew-Johnson for the 29-yard clincher.

Thompson enters the playoffs with 1,703 passing yards and 21 touchdowns. Robinson has nine touchdown catches and 13 total scores, Andrew-Johnson averages 65 receiving yards a game, and Fuentes has nine rushing touchdowns. That gives Helix several ways to move the ball if Torrey Pines takes away the deep throw.

The Falcons have a turnaround of their own. They went 4-7 last year, opened this season with a 45-0 shutout of Radford in Hawaii and closed it with a 31-21 Beach Bowl win at La Costa Canyon.

Kingston Bankston’s interception sealed that one. Torrey Pines is 4-2 on the road and allows just 17 points a game. With Jaydan Tong at seven sacks and Dom Principi averaging 8.1 tackles, the Falcons can make Helix work through longer drives than it’s had to lately.

Torrey Pines can keep the ball, too. Jacob Kreiss averages 86.3 rushing yards per game, and quarterback Blake Miller has thrown 18 touchdown passes, seven to his brother Logan Miller.

Logan Bonneau leads the Falcons at 57.4 receiving yards per game. Helix linebacker Jeremy Davis matches Principi at 8.1 tackles per game, while Denzel Griffin and Diego Cano-Robinson have combined for 10.5 sacks. The Highlanders will have more chances to get after Miller if they keep Kreiss from putting the Falcons in short-yardage situations.

There’s some playoff history here, too. Helix beat Torrey Pines 44-7 in the 2011 playoffs on its way to a state championship. I expect a much closer game this time. The Falcons have the defense to end that run of 42-point nights, but I’ll take Thompson and his receivers to make the difference in the fourth quarter.

Four prior meetings were all in the playoffs: a 7-7 tie in 1980 that Helix advanced from on a tiebreaker, a 32-12 Helix win in 1981, a 21-14 Torrey Pines win in 1994, and the 44-7 Helix win in 2011.

CIF SAN DIEGO SECTION DIVISION I — QUARTERFINALS
No. 5 seed SAN MARCOS (5-5) at No. 4 seed GRANITE HILLS (7-3)

San Marcos knows what can happen when Granite Hills gets rolling. The Knights also know they can come back. In the 2024 Division I championship game, Granite Hills jumped out to a 21-0 lead, San Marcos closed to 21-18 in the third quarter, and the Eagles pulled away for a 42-25 win. Two years later, the rematch comes in the quarterfinals.

Granite Hills opens the playoffs chasing a fifth straight section title under Kellan Cobbs.

The Eagles won Division II in 2022, the Open Division in 2023 and Division I in 2024 and 2025. They also won the state Division II-A championship in 2022.

Helix took back the Grossmont Hills League title with a 42-31 win in the regular-season finale, but the Eagles’ section title defense starts Friday at home, where they’re 4-1.

There was plenty to like even in the loss to Helix. Granite Hills scored 17 straight points to turn a 28-14 deficit into a 31-28 lead. Zachary “Zac” Benitez ran for a touchdown and threw two more to Courtney “Nino” Miller-Thompson.

The Eagles also lost three fumbles, threw an interception in the end zone and gave up a touchdown on a blocked punt. They can’t give San Marcos that many extra chances.

Benitez enters the playoffs with 2,314 passing yards and 30 touchdowns, and Miller-Thompson has 17 touchdown catches.

Gage Spalding has seven rushing scores and gives the Eagles a way to keep drives moving if the Knights devote extra coverage to Miller-Thompson.

San Marcos can bring pressure without sending a linebacker: Mason Fisher and Steven Rodriguez have 4.5 sacks apiece, and James Miller has four.

The Knights have their own senior quarterback-receiver combination. Jordan Roa has thrown 24 touchdown passes, and Ezekiel McIntyre has caught 15 while averaging 103.8 receiving yards per game. McIntyre also has two interceptions at free safety.

Mo Henderson averages 76.4 rushing yards and has seven rushing touchdowns. If Henderson keeps the Knights out of third and long, Roa will have more chances to get McIntyre the ball downfield.

San Marcos has already shown it can win a game that comes down to one stop, beating Lincoln 7-6. I expect a different game here. Granite Hills averages 32.7 points but gives up 24.8, and Roa and McIntyre can make the Eagles pay for another turnover-heavy night. The difference for me is that Granite Hills can take the ball away, too.

The Eagles forced seven turnovers against San Jacinto, and Ty Spencer has five interceptions this season. Give Benitez and Miller-Thompson one extra possession in the second half, and I like the Eagles to turn a close game into a two-score win.

There are two prior meetings, both in the playoffs. San Marcos won 28-17 in the 2013 semifinals; Granite Hills won 42-25 in the 2024 Division I final. Friday is their third meeting.

FEARLESS FORECASTER: GRANITE HILLS 42, SAN MARCOS 31

CIF SAN DIEGO SECTION DIVISION IV — QUARTERFINALS
No. 8 seed EL CAPITAN (7-4) at No. 1 seed VALLEY CENTER (5-5)

El Capitan won the Grossmont Valley League, ran over Santana in the playoff opener and now gets a shot at the team that holds the Division IV title. The Vaqueros have won six straight. To make it seven, they’ll have to beat top-seeded Valley Center on its own field.

The Vaqueros rushed for 268 yards and five touchdowns in last week’s 42-7 win over Santana.

Michael Castillo gained 93 yards on nine carries, including a 37-yard touchdown through the middle, and Anthony Mattar scored twice in the first half.

Elijah Arzu added 64 yards on four carries, while Michael Valencia II scored on a sweep and caught two passes for 58 yards. Ryder Powers made all six extra points.

Valley Center has to defend Castillo and Mattar between the tackles without giving Arzu and Valencia room outside.

The Jaguars had a first-round bye after a 49-28 loss to Ramona.

Casen Dunham still put up 247 passing yards, 53 rushing yards and four total touchdowns in that game. He and Jonathan Teter have combined for 19 touchdown passes, with Gauge Wright catching eight and Joaquin Stehly averaging 65.9 receiving yards per game.

The player El Capitan has to account for first is senior running back Mitchell Stehly, who averages 107.7 rushing yards per game.

That puts the game in the hands of El Capitan’s front on early downs.

Robinson Silva had 12 tackles against Santana and intercepted a pass at the 8-yard line just before halftime. The Vaqueros held the Sultans scoreless after the break. If Silva and company can keep Stehly from getting four or five yards on first down, they can make Valley Center lean more heavily on its passing game.

El Capitan leads the series 2-1, and Friday is their first playoff meeting. Valley Center won 31-28 at home in 2016, El Capitan won 14-13 in Lakeside in 2017, and the Vaqueros won 47-18 at Valley Center in 2023.

Valley Center has the bye, the top seed and the title. I’ll take the team that’s won six in a row and just showed how many ways it can run the ball. Castillo and Mattar can keep the chains moving, and Arzu and Valencia can turn a short gain into a long one. That’s enough to take the Vaqueros into the semifinals.

FEARLESS FORECASTER: EL CAPITAN 34, VALLEY CENTER 17

CIF SAN DIEGO SECTION DIVISION IV — QUARTERFINAL
No. 7 West Hills (8-3) at No. 2 Maranatha Christian (8-2)

West Hills has been one of the steadiest teams on this page all season.

The Wolf Pack closed the regular season with a 28-14 win over Monte Vista, then beat Rancho Buena Vista 24-14 to earn another shot at a round they’ve never cleared. This time, the team standing between West Hills and its first section semifinal is a rested Maranatha Christian squad that averages 33 points a game.

Evin Dill is still the engine. The senior quarterback ran for 114 yards and a touchdown and threw for 84 yards against Rancho Buena Vista, his third straight 100-yard rushing game. The Pack ran for 229 yards and scored on drives of 80, 71 and 50 yards before halftime.

Marcus Leath needed only five carries to gain 81 yards, and his 40-yard run from the West Hills 2 helped turn a stand near the goal line into a field goal at the other end. That’s the kind of drive that can keep Maranatha’s offense waiting.

The Eagles have more than one way to make those possessions count.

Junior Ryan Niguidula ran for 742 yards and 13 touchdowns and scored 15 times overall.

Sawyer Bryant caught 12 touchdown passes, while Colin Leonard and Tom Peddinghaus threw nine apiece.

The Eagles allowed just 12.2 points per game, and Harrison Boehning had 9½ sacks. If West Hills falls behind the chains, Boehning can make it hard for Dill to keep those long drives going.

Friday is the first known meeting between the schools. West Hills has never advanced beyond the quarterfinals and came close in 2024, falling 21-14 to Crawford in Division V.

Last week’s win gives the Wolf Pack another chance to go one step farther.

The best case for West Hills is what it did early against Rancho Buena Vista: win first down, keep the ball and give the defense a lead to work with. Zach Waters had two sacks last week and has 15 on the season. If the Pack can slow Niguidula enough to give Waters a few clear chances to rush the passer, West Hills can make that next step.

FEARLESS FORECASTER: West Hills 24, Maranatha Christian 17

CIF SAN DIEGO SECTION DIVISION V-AA — SEMIFINAL
No. 4 Mountain Empire (6-4) vs. No. 1 Escondido Charter (10-1)

The best game of the night might be the smallest-school matchup on the board. Escondido Charter has lost only once, to unbeaten Santa Fe Christian, and has two quarterbacks with double-digit touchdown passes.

Mountain Empire has the most dangerous runner left in the bracket, and he just put up 424 yards and six touchdowns in a playoff game.

Elisha Robinson enters the semifinal with 2,094 rushing yards and 29 rushing touchdowns.

Clairemont crowded the line last week, and Mountain Empire kept running anyway. The RedHawks broke a 28-28 tie with 27 unanswered points in a 55-28 quarterfinal win.

Amar Mahasin added 83 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

“Watch them, study them,” Robinson said of Escondido Charter on the East County Sports postgame show. “I feel like our game against them is going to be a pretty good game for sure.” Robinson fumbled twice against Clairemont and still took over the game. Against a defense allowing 9.3 points per game, every possession will be harder to replace.

The White Tigers beat Foothills Christian 48-0 to open the season and 49-14 in last week’s quarterfinal.

Sophomore Silas Greene has thrown 17 touchdown passes, senior Blake Jurges has thrown 10, and Sam Hinrichs has caught 16. If Escondido Charter brings extra defenders up to stop Robinson, Chance Ross has a chance to make it pay. Mahasin caught 31 passes for 653 yards and 10 touchdowns in the regular season, and last week showed what he can do out of the backfield, too.

Series and playoff history: Mountain Empire leads the known series 3-2 and won the only previous playoff meeting, 16-7 in the 2013 Division V quarterfinals.

Escondido Charter won the most recent meeting, 41-0 in 2022. The RedHawks are back in the semifinals for a second straight year under Cameron Keller after beating Victory Christian 44-37 and losing to Palo Verde Valley last November. The program has won section titles before: 21-0 over Christian in 1976 and 13-0 over Holtville in 1983.

Robinson can keep this close well into the fourth quarter. The edge goes to Escondido Charter because Greene and Jurges give the White Tigers two ways to keep the passing game going if this turns into a shootout.

FEARLESS FORECASTER: Escondido Charter 38, Mountain Empire 30

OPEN DIVISION — SEMIFINALS

No. 4 Santa Fe Christian (11-0) @ No. 1 Carlsbad (9-1)
The Eagles have been starting fast all year, and Dax Labrum, at nearly 237 passing yards a game, gives them a chance to put the top seed on its heels. Carlsbad can answer with Darian Webb, who averages nearly 180 yards on the ground. Santa Fe Christian’s 48-7 win over Escondido Charter tells you why the Eagles are here. Webb and the Carlsbad running game are why the Lancers are the pick.
PICK: Carlsbad 38, Santa Fe Christian 24.

No. 3 Mission Hills (8-2) @ No. 2 Cathedral Catholic (7-3)
Same round, opposite field. Cathedral went to Mission Hills last November, won 42-35 and went on to take the Open title. This time the Dons host, with Koa Smith-Mayall throwing to Isaac Cook, who averages 94.5 receiving yards. Mission Hills has its own answer in Furian Inferrera and Ryan MacKenzie. The Dons’ pass rush gives them the edge in another game that could come down to the last possession.
PICK: Cathedral Catholic 31, Mission Hills 24.

DIVISION I — QUARTERFINALS

No. 7 Rancho Bernardo (8-2) @ No. 2 La Costa Canyon (6-4)
Gaige Weddle threw for 271 yards and ran for 84 in Rancho Bernardo’s 38-16 win over Poway, and Dre Walker caught two touchdowns and piled up 182 yards. The Mavericks have already beaten Carlsbad, though, and can spread the ball around to Diego Botron, Jackson Miller and Hudson Wetmore, all of whom scored in the Beach Bowl loss to Torrey Pines. The Broncos have the quarterback to make this tight. The Mavericks have the home field and the more convincing signature win.
PICK: La Costa Canyon 31, Rancho Bernardo 24.

No. 6 Lincoln (4-6) @ No. 3 Oceanside (6-4)
These teams average almost exactly the same total yardage, but they get there differently. Lincoln can move the ball through the air with Andre Jackson; Oceanside gets nearly 198 rushing yards per game, with Neke Letuli averaging 132.4 himself. If the Pirates get the lead, Letuli is the back who can keep Jackson watching from the sideline.
PICK: Oceanside 28, Lincoln 24.

DIVISION II — QUARTERFINALS

No. 10 Patrick Henry (11-0) @ No. 2 Del Norte (4-6)
The No. 10 seed still hasn’t lost. Madin Gardini threw for 486 yards and five touchdowns at Imperial, and Cole Farace caught three of those scores in the 38-31 win. Del Norte’s 37-23 win over Point Loma is a reminder of what the Nighthawks can do. But if Friday comes down to which quarterback can finish one more drive, take the one who just did it on the road.
PICK: Patrick Henry 34, Del Norte 31.

No. 8 Holtville (8-3) @ No. 1 Poway (4-6)
Both teams beat Ramona by one, but Holtville took the more dramatic route: Kai Gonzalez scored with 13.6 seconds left, then found Zavien Aguirre for two and the 32-31 win. Leonardo Riebeling and Rodrigo Martinez each topped 100 yards rushing that night. Poway has had an extra week to prepare for a ground game that averages about 301 yards. The Titans get the edge at home, but they’ll have to earn every stop.
PICK: Poway 28, Holtville 21.

No. 6 El Camino (2-9) @ No. 3 St. Augustine (6-4)
El Camino was down 19-0 at halftime against Grossmont and still found a way out, with Kai Storer running 33 yards for the go-ahead touchdown. St. Augustine has won six of seven, and Paisios Polamalu brings 1,848 rushing yards into the quarterfinal. If the Saints get ahead, Polamalu can make the second half a lot shorter than the one Grossmont just lived through.
PICK: St. Augustine 34, El Camino 20.

No. 5 Mater Dei Catholic (5-6) @ No. 4 Point Loma (7-3)
The Crusaders started 0-6 and have won every game since. Qasim Williams ran for three touchdowns in the 56-7 win over Mount Miguel, and Jayden Blondin went 7-for-7 passing and ran for 89 yards. Point Loma has a senior quarterback in Ryder Watson with 2,612 yards and 21 touchdown passes, but the Crusaders can keep him on the sideline by handing the ball to more than one back.
PICK: Mater Dei Catholic 31, Point Loma 24.

DIVISION III — QUARTERFINALS

No. 10 Mira Mesa (8-3) @ No. 2 San Diego (5-5)
Mira Mesa’s 29-0 win over Madison was convincing on both sides of the ball. Niko Cato ran for 154 yards, and Nico Giusti threw both touchdown passes to Aaron Jones. The Cavers have had a week to get ready for that balance. If San Diego makes Mira Mesa play from behind, the Cavers can take some of those carries away from Cato.
PICK: San Diego 27, Mira Mesa 17.

No. 11 Scripps Ranch (2-9) @ No. 3 San Pasqual (7-3)
The Falcons went into Eastlake with one win and left with a 31-17 upset. Nolan Cooper accounted for three touchdowns, and Jordan Zeller caught nine passes for 124 yards. San Pasqual is the steadier team, but the Eagles will have to get Cooper off the field on third down before they can put this one away.
PICK: San Pasqual 35, Scripps Ranch 28.

No. 5 La Jolla (4-7) @ No. 4 University City (5-5)
Two weeks ago, University City won this matchup 49-42. Now the Centurions get a La Jolla team that found a little more balance against Central Union: Brody Bukich threw for 205 yards and Kali Deberry ran for 105. The Vikings already know they can score on University City. The question is whether they can get the one extra stop they needed the first time.
PICK: University City 38, La Jolla 35.

DIVISION IV — QUARTERFINALS

No. 11 Brawley (5-6) vs. No. 3 Otay Ranch (5-5)
Brawley got to this round by making 14 points stand up at Westview, with neither team scoring after halftime. The Wildcats now have to deal with Caleb Delaughter, who averages 205.3 passing yards, and Brayden Hyman, his leading receiver at 74.5 yards per game. If the Mustangs hit a couple of throws downfield early, Brawley may have to play a different game than the one it won last week.
PICK: Otay Ranch 27, Brawley 17.

No. 5 Mission Bay (5-6) vs. No. 4 The Bishop’s (7-3)
Major Scott scored three ways on the stat sheet against Army-Navy: two touchdown catches and a 23-yard interception return. Jack Barrett threw three touchdown passes in the 49-0 win. The Bishop’s will give Mission Bay a much tougher night, but Scott can swing a tight game whether the Buccaneers have the ball or not.
PICK: Mission Bay 24, The Bishop’s 20.

DIVISION V — QUARTERFINALS

No. 8 Coronado (3-8) @ No. 1 Morse (6-5)
Defending champion Morse beat Coronado 19-10 on Oct. 9, then opened the playoffs with a 63-44 win over Monte Vista. Deandre Eleby ran for 279 yards and four touchdowns and caught two more scores. The Islanders won a different kind of game, 17-10 over Southwest SD, with touchdowns from Melo Avetyan and Reese Pagon and interceptions by Dominic Parm and Bill Apodaca IV. If Coronado can turn the rematch into another game in the 20s, Jack O’Sullivan and Pagon can steal it late.
PICK: Coronado 26, Morse 24.

No. 7 Chula Vista (5-6) @ No. 2 Hoover (8-3)
Gabriel Ruiz scored three times for Chula Vista last week, but the Spartans still needed a stop on a two-point try with seven seconds left to beat Coastal Academy. Hoover counters with Hezekiah Manuel, who threw for 236 yards and three scores against Canyon Hills, and Jayden Stewart, who caught 10 passes for 123 yards. In a game this tight, take the home quarterback with the hot hand.
PICK: Hoover 28, Chula Vista 27.

No. 6 Mt. Carmel (3-8) @ No. 3 Fallbrook (6-5)
Mt. Carmel already won 17-10 at Fallbrook in September and just earned its first playoff victory since 2012 by scoring with 42 seconds left against Hilltop. Fallbrook has more going on offensively now: Caleb Way and Junior Hernandez combined for 233 rushing yards against Mar Vista. The Warriors make the rematch higher scoring, but the Sundevils have already shown they can win on this field.
PICK: Mt. Carmel 27, Fallbrook 21.

No. 12 Olympian (4-7) @ No. 4 La Jolla Country Day (6-5)
Isaiah Mena threw for 185 yards and ran for 139 as Olympian knocked out Bonita Vista. The Torreys have their own quarterback who can win both ways: Marvin Jones threw for two touchdowns and ran for another against Classical Academy, while Keenan Ward added 100 rushing yards. Mena can make this interesting, but Country Day has more ways to finish drives.
PICK: La Jolla Country Day 34, Olympian 21.

DIVISION V-AA — SEMIFINAL

No. 3 Vincent Memorial (9-2) vs. No. 2 Palo Verde Valley (9-2)
Palo Verde won the Desert League meeting 21-7 on Oct. 9, and both teams come into the rematch off shutouts. Emiliano Sanchez ran for 145 yards and two touchdowns in Vincent Memorial’s 43-0 win over O’Farrell Charter. The Yellow Jackets counter with a front that produced five sacks from Wesley Dill alone against Calipatria. Vincent has enough offense to make the rematch closer, but Palo Verde can still dictate it up front.
PICK: Palo Verde Valley 28, Vincent Memorial 17.

DIVISION VI — EIGHT-MAN SEMIFINALS

No. 4 Julian (6-3) vs. No. 1 St. Joseph Academy (6-1) · At Army-Navy Academy
Gabriel Betts gives Julian a chance to shorten the game. He ran for 243 yards and three touchdowns on 13 carries against Warner. St. Joseph has Sean Ambuul and a defense that picked off three passes in a 46-33 win over Francis Parker. The Crusaders have already beaten the other top seed; the Eagles need a big night from Betts just to keep pace.
PICK: St. Joseph Academy 46, Julian 7.

No. 3 Borrego Springs (5-3) @ No. 2 Francis Parker (8-1)
Parker won the August meeting 44-0, but the Rams have put together five straight wins since their 0-3 start. Cameron Campbell averages 98.1 rushing yards and gives Borrego a way to keep the ball away from the Lancers. Parker still averages 46 points a game, and Spencer Perry gives the Lancers a dependable answer on the ground.
PICK: Francis Parker 55, Borrego Springs 20.
