Breakdown: Edison started the year with a two-quarterback system, but the team appears to have chosen Griffin O’Connor as the primary snap-taker moving forward…It’s homecoming for the Chargers, who are riding a seven-game winning streak in Sunset League games as head coach Dave White carries on with his farewell season…In beating Los Alamitos last week, Edison may have just passed its greatest league test…Marina started the year at 3-0, but that cause for celebration has since evaporated…The Vikings are allowing 44.7 points per game over their last three games…Marina continues to face the haunting fact that the team hasn’t won a league game since 2004...Noah Holmes can be a game-changer, but he needs help. The senior receiver has accounted for all but one of Marina’s touchdowns through the air with 10.
