Irvine takes over the No. 4 spot this week … The Sea Kings opened league play last week with a 34-7 loss at defending league co-champion Laguna Hills … Irvine has won six straight since losing the season opener … CdM’s offense goes up against the stingy Vaqueros, who have held opponents to seven points four times and six points twice.
