We’ve got a delay here, apparently there was an accident involving one the Villa Park buses on the way over. No one injured.
We’re in Orange at Fred Kelly Stadium as Lakewood is on the road to wrap up nonleague action against Villa Park.

Long Beach Poly junior Rene Ortega had four goals in the Jackrabbits’ win over Millikan, including three in a huge fourth quarter to help Poly pull away.
FINAL: Long Beach Poly-16, Millikan-12
Wow! A seven-goal fourth quarter for the Jackrabbits gives them the biggest lead of the game to cruise to the win.
End 3: Long Beach Poly-9, Millikan-9
Millikan took its first lead in the third quarter but we’re all knotted up heading into a decisive fourth quarter!!!
Half: Long Beach Poly-6, Millikan-5
The exact tight matchup we expected out of these two Moore League teams with the Jackrabbits ahead at the break. Aiden Greenwood and Ryan Oatey each had a pair of goals for Poly while Millikan has five different goal scorers.
