Video: Top 10 Games of the WeekHelix (La Mesa, Calif.) at Mission Viejo (Calif.)
Friday, 7:30 p.m. Pacific timeWhy it's big: San Diego's top team and the best team in the Southern Section not from the Pac-5 Division compete Friday night for a trip to the Division I-AA state championship bowl game.
Helix (11-1) beat St. Augustine, 44-30, in last week's San Diego Section Open Division title game for its 10th-consecutive win and first section crown since 2011.
Mission Viejo (14-0) defeated Vista Murrieta, 21-14, in the Southern Section West Valley Division title game for the second-consecutive year and earned its first trip ever to the CIF regional playoffs.
Names to watch: Nathen Stinson – Helix's mighty mite tailback – ran for a season-high 246 yards with four touchdowns on just 17 carries last week. The 5-foot-6, 175-pound senior has 1,714 rushing yards and 31 touchdowns this year.
