Tonight games:

Tustin (6-3, 2-1)

Ocean View (2-6-1, 1-1-1)

(at Huntington Beach High, 7 p.m.)

The Golden West League race is far from clear, and Ocean View finds

itself right in the thick of things. Heading into tonight’s regular

season finale, the Seahawks find themselves in third place, just one-half

game behind Tustin. An Ocean View win sews up the league’s No. 2 playoff

berth for the upcoming Division VI playoffs. The worst they can finish is

in a tie for third. Westminster leads the pack at 3-0. Tustin has too

many weapons for the Seahawks to contend with in this one. Fact: the

Tillers average 38 points per ballgame; the Seahawk defense is

surrendering 31 points an outing. Last year’s score: Tustin 81, Ocean

Friday’s games:

Huntington Beach (2-6, 0-4)

Marina (4-5, 2-2)

(at Westminster High, 7 p.m.)

Marina has been nothing short of impressive in the final weeks of the

Sunset League race. The Vikings have defeated Esperanza and Fountain

Valley down the stretch to take over sole possession of third place, and

a victory tonight wraps up an automatic playoff berth. A loss, coupled by

wins tonight by either Fountain Valley or Esperanza -- or both, would

drop the Vikings from playoff contention. The key to Marina’s resurgence

has been the Vikings’ ability to eliminate turnovers. Combined with a

solid rushing attack, they could give the Oilers fits all night as the

two city rivals meet for the 37th time. This is the end of the season for

Huntington Beach, which is looking to avoid its second straight winless

Sunset campaign. Last year’s score: Marina 7, Huntington Beach 3
