2.?Dos Pueblos Chargers (6-2, 2-0)

NEXT GAME:?at Atascadero (3-4, 1-2), Friday, 7 p.m.

4. Bishop Diego Cardinals (7-0, 2-0)

5.?Santa Barbara Dons?(5-2, 0-1)
PREVIOUS GAME:?Bye
NEXT GAME:?vs. San Marcos (1-6, 0-1), 7 p.m., Friday
NOTES:?The Dons, looking for their first Channel League win, come back from their bye week to host “The Big Game.” The Dons should be hungry to get back in the win column after a disappointing loss to Buena.

PREVIOUS GAME: Bye
NEXT GAME: vs. Nordhoff (7-0), 2-0), at Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium, Friday, 7:30 p.m.

PREVIOUS GAME:?San Luis Obispo 38, Righetti 35
NEXT GAME:?vs. Arroyo Grande (5-2, 2-1), Friday, 7 p.m.
NOTES:?Righetti’s loss on Friday – the Warriors’ sixth on the season – was their fourth by a touchdown or less. It doesn’t get any easier with Arroyo Grande next.
