Crespi at Alemany, Oaks Christian at Westlake are top games

Friday’s top high school football games:

Encino Crespi (4-5, 2-1) at Mission Hills Alemany (7-2, 2-1), 7 p.m.: Teams that have had their ups and downs this season are each one win away from earning a share of the Serra League title with idle Sherman Oaks Notre Dame. Alemany has been decimated by injuries on defense but still has a productive offense with quarterback Alif Grayes and receiver Desean Holmes. Crespi has put itself in position to earn a Pac-5 playoff berth behind running back T.J. Brumfield and improved play from quarterback Conor McMahan. The pick: Alemany.

Westlake Village Oaks Christian (8-1, 4-0) at Westlake (7-2, 4-0), 7 p.m.: There won’t be many empty seats as Westlake Village comes together to watch these neighborhood rivals compete for the Marmonte League title. Quarterback Brandon Dawkins of Oaks Christian has surpassed the 8,000-yard mark in career passing. Receiver Chris Davis has been enjoying a huge senior season. Sophomore quarterback Malik Henry is an emerging star for Westlake, which has a young but improving defense. The pick: Westlake.
