Notre Dame (8-2), with Noah Reeder, Julian Maurel, Ryan Karapetian and Brandon Braga, have an improving defense that is quick and physical. ``Probably the best defense we've played,'' Wegher said. ``And they're very well coached.'' Of course, any talk about Mission League-champion Notre Dame has to start with outstanding running back Justin Fargas Justin Fargas (born January 25, 1980 in Encino, California) is a football player in the NFL.

Why it's key: While most of the attention will be on how Agoura will attempt to stop Notre Dame running back Justin Fargas, Helfman presents a challenge to the Knights' defense. If he and Chargers quarterback Ryan McCann get hot as they did last week against Westlake, the game will be close. The book on Helfman: A great athlete who is also a fine basketball player, the 6-6, 230-pound senior is one reason why the Chargers have the area's eighth-best offense. He has 23 catches for 352 yards and two touchdowns, including five catches for 74 yards last week.

What the coaches say: Agoura coach Charlie Wegher on Helfman: ``Marcus just loves to play football. I think if we lined him up at center, he'd be happy to play there. He's a team player. Marcus just needs to continue to make good plays like he did last week. He made some great catches to keep drives going on third and long.'' Notre Dame coach Kevin Rooney on Reeder and Maurel: ``Whenever you're smaller, you need to have great technique. (Helfman) is very tall and has good hands. There will be times when 5-11 guys will be covering him.'' CAPTION(S): 4 Photos, Box Photo: (1) Notre Dame's Justin Fargas has played Marmonte League teams in the playoffs before.
