Its name derives from its crescent-like shape, with the convex portion facing roughly northeast and the concave portion southwest.

The 5-foot-11, 165-pounder threw for 329 yards and three touchdowns on 23-of-35 passing. Five of McGuinness' passes went to Phillip Salazar, who had 165 yards, and Nigel Orizco added five catches for 112 yards and a touchdown.

HEAD 2 HEAD COREY MAZZA Thousand Oaks Defensive Back BRYAN HUSTON Agoura Wide receiver Mazza is one of the top defensive backs in the region, a 6-foot-4, 195-pound hitting machine who intimidates opponents with his physical play. But he's also an effective wide receiver, grabbing 18 passes for 417 yards and three touchdowns. In Huston, though, Mazza might be meeting his physical match. The 6-1, 230-pounder is used to being bigger than his defenders, so don't expect him to be concerned with Mazza's hitting ability. Huston shows surprising athletic ability for a receiver his size, having caught 29 passes for 487 yards and five touchdowns. Agoura (2-2, 0-1) is looking to rebound from a loss to Westlake on Thursday, and Thousand Oaks (3-1, 1-0) hopes to remain unbeaten in the Marmonte League The Marmonte League is a high school sports league primarily made up of schools from Ventura County.
