Agoura American Legion American Legion, national association of male and female war veterans, founded (1919) in Paris. Membership is open to veterans of World Wars I and II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.  coach Zach Miller Zachary Harvest Miller (born December 11 1985) is an American football tight end for the Oakland Raiders.

In thee seasons at Arizona State University, Miller caught 132 passes for 1,373 yards, and 14 touchdown receptions.
 figures that if you were going by the scales of public opinion, his team would have been a vast underdog Sunday against Chatsworth in the Area 6 championship.

``Most of the stuff you hear is about Chatsworth,'' Miller said, ``and we don't get our just due.''

 aside Chatsworth in two games at Jackie Robinson Stadium 11-7 and 5-2 to win the Area 6 title Sunday, perhaps everyone up in Yountville next weekend at the state tournament will heed the team Miller says is made up of ``outrageous'' talent.

Agoura is scheduled to play in Yountville at noon Saturday.

``We had no doubts,'' Miller said. ``The only doubters were the people on their side, and now they're going home.''

A little strong? Well, consider that Sunday's five-hours-plus doubleheader followed a bitter 7-6 loss to Chatsworth on Saturday that forced Agoura to come out of the losers' bracket, and then throw in the whole City Section vs. Southern Section feud, and you've got a regular USC An abbreviation for U.S. Code.  vs. UCLA UCLA University of California at Los Angeles

. Example: Chatsworth refused to give Agoura's Brandon Canning credit for his nine-inning, five-hit, two-run performance in game two, instead calling it a product of their weak hitting. And Agoura players scoffed at the notion that Chatsworth pitcher Joe Guntz, who allowed three runs in five innings of work in the second game, would be the undefeated 25-0 that he is in two varsity seasons were his school in the Southern Section.

But all that was after the fact, after Canning's outing followed Agoura's impressive offensive display in the first game. Agoura jumped ahead 10-1 in the fourth inning, the highlight of which was a two-run double by Luke Riordan, who would later add a solo shot.

``They didn't have the bats to compete with us,'' said Agoura's Adam Hersh, who was 4 for 7 on the day. ``I'll put our bats up against the best from anywhere.''
