Moore League play kicks off on the West Side Friday night as Cabrillo (1-2) hosts Millikan (2-2) at 7 p.m.

Cabrillo has had a roller coaster of changes that last couple of weeks after the wildfires in Southern California forced Carpinteria and Big Bear to cancel their games.

After being unable to find an opponent on short notice for their contest against Carpinteria, coach Shane Gonzales and the Jaguars were able to pick up a game against a tough Alta Loma that ended in a 52-19 loss last week.

Quarterback Fernando Leanos will look to lead Cabrillo against a tough Millikan team.

Millikan is coming in after a grueling gauntlet of non-league opponents that concluded with a 37-27 win against Upland. Xavier Jones and Anthony League showed how explosive the Rams rushing attack can be as the duo combined for 291 rushing yards and four touchdowns.
