Breakdown: Both teams enter the game on losing skids, Estancia four straight and Godinez three straight. Estancia’s offense has struggled during the stretch, averaging around a touchdown per game. The good news for the Eagles is that they’re facing a defense that has allowed 56 or more points three times this season … Mendez should have a big game against the first-year varsity Grizzlies … A victory for Estancia puts the Eagles back in the postseason hunt behind crosstown rival Costa Mesa and Laguna Beach. Three teams from the league earn automatic CIF playoff berths due to it being a five-team league this year with the addition of Godinez playing a varsity schedule.
