Breakdown: Marina (4-1) travels to play Laguna Beach (4-1) in the second-to-last nonleague game for each program ...

Laguna Beach, among others receiving votes in Division 12, beat Estancia 49-3 last week as Johnson threw three touchdowns and ran for another score ... The Breakers beat the Vikings 21-18 last season ... Laguna Beach has started the season 4-1 for the second straight year.
