Article originally written by Joe Curley – Ventura County Star http://blogs.venturacountystar.com/curley/2008/09/this-weeks-cc-football-capsule.html

No. 8 Fullerton (3-0) at No. 12 Moorpark (2-1)

Griffin Stadium, 6 p.m.

LAST WEEK: Santa Ana 43, Los Angeles Harbor 36; Fullerton 16, Moorpark 13

SERIES HISTORY: Santa Ana leads 3-2

GAME FACTS: Perhaps the toughest schedule in Moorpark history continues with a second straight home test against an Orange County power. The heroics of Bryan Randolph and Conrad Meadows gave the Raiders an impressive non-conference, road win last August at Santa Ana Stadium. Without them today, Moorpark will rely on QB Donald Senegal (40-of-67 passing, 571 yards, 6 TDs, 1 int.), whose ability to both run and pass has helped the Raiders convert 46.9 percent of their third downs. He’ll be even more important today because RB Danny Mosier (59 att., 394 yards, 5 TDs) is questionable to play with a shoulder injury. His backups, Matt Gentle (24 att., 107 yards) and James Clay (11 att. 37 yards), are both capable, but haven’t been as effective. The Raiders were 4 yards from upsetting Fullerton a week ago. Santa Ana, averaging a 36-19 victory, might be even tougher. The Dons defense has been the best in the state against the run, allowing only 34 yards on 59 attempts. DE BJ Bell has 7.5 tackles for losses, including three sacks. Santa Ana is in the Top 5 in both sacks (11) and sacks allowed (2). QB Michael Coulter (54-of-102 passing, 780 yards, 10 TDs, 2 ints.) runs the fourth-best passing offense in the South. RBs Bryson Kelly (48 att., 193 yards, 3 TDs) and Craig Leyton (20 att., 110 yards, 1 TD) have been very effective.
