``A lot of people were talking like it was a done deal, but it never really materialized,'' Hethcock said. ``We wanted to play one year. Mission Viejo wanted two. It would have been a great game next year, but (Mission Viejo coach) Bob Johnson Bob Johnson may refer to:
  • Bob Johnson (MLB outfielder) [Indian Bob Johnson] (1905–1982)
  • Bob Johnson (football), former American pro football center
  • Bob Johnson (ice hockey) ("Badger Bob" Johnson) (1931–1991), coach
 wanted a two-year contract, and it wasn't in our best interest to commit.''

Oaks Christian also decided not to play Archbishop Moeller of Cincinnati in a September game that would have been televised nationally by Fox Sports.

``(Coach) Bill (Redell) and I stepped back, and we gave it 10 days, and we thought how is this going to better our program?'' Hethcock said. ``We've had teams from North Carolina North Carolina, state in the SE United States.

``It was very nice for them to think of us when it came to putting this (Moeller) game together, but we're getting national exposure playing in our own backyard.''

Oaks Christian has nonleague games scheduled against St. Bonaventure of Ventura and Diamond Ranch of Pomona, and Hethcock is trying to finalize the rest of the schedule before the Southern Section playoffs begin next week.
