Costa Mesa (1-5) vs. Estancia (2-4)

When/where: Tonight, 7 at Estancia High

Key Mustangs: Sr. RB Antwon Byrd (55 carries for 329 yards and two TDs); Sr. C Juan Garces; Jr. LG Travis Whitlock

Key Eagles: Sr. RB back Carlos Mendez (119 carries for 840 yards and five TDs); Sr. C Stephen Culbertson; Sr. LT-DT Jose Padilla

Breakdown: Costa Mesa Coach Jeremy Osso said he preferred to see the Battle for the Bell game moved to the regular-season finale. Estancia Coach Mike Bargas is glad the crosstown rivalry game starts Orange Coast League play because he said his team needs to get back on track after losing three straight games … This is the 42nd edition of the Battle for the Bell and Estancia leads the series, 24-16-1. Estancia has won four straight against Costa Mesa. In the Eagles’ 41-13 win last season, Mendez ran for a school-record 299 yards to go with three TDs … This is the first varsity Battle for the Bell at Jim Scott Stadium ... The two teams shared the league championship last season.
