ALISO NIGUEL HIGH SCHOOL

These two programs are mirrors, more or less, of each other, though South Hills is expected to throw the ball more against the Wolverines. Both have survived with balanced attacks.

South Hills, which outscored opponents by 35 points a game, beat Pomona Ganesha, 52-16. Aliso Niguel defeated Ganesha in the opening round of the Division VIII playoffs, 28-6.
