Westlake on major upset alert from the Chargers this week after a shaky start to the season from quarterback @FordGreen29. Looking forward to this matchup next week!

[eric sondheimer @latsondheimer]

Agoura looks ready to go on long winning streak after 32-22 win over Saugus. Hart got a 20-0 win over Birmingham. Three touchdowns for Matix Frithsmith, one of the most versatile athletes.

Expecting a big year out of veteran qb @YoDomx, who has shown much development since his sophomore season! Look out for the coyotes 👀👀

[John Smith Conejo Valley Sports Analyst @JohnSmithCVSA]

With the 2026 season on the horizon, it’s time for some bold predictions for this Friday’s Week 0 matchups!

@CalabasasFtball drops one early in their opener vs Alemany.

@oakparkfootball survives an early deficit to start 1-0 for the first time in 3 years.

[John Smith Conejo Valley Sports Analyst @JohnSmithCVSA]

@latsondheimer Look out for the Centurions this year!

[John Smith Conejo Valley Sports Analyst @JohnSmithCVSA]

Looking at the recent developments of a program that has long flown under the radar but is now on the rise.

@BrysonKenn85401 is a Class of 2028 gunslinger. I’m excited to see what this young man brings to the table could he help return the Kanan Bowl to the west side of Kanan?

With the 2026 season on the horizon, I’ll be shining a spotlight on emerging programs, impact transfers, and the biggest storylines shaping the 805. A new season brings new expectations and there have already been plenty of major developments across the region. Stay tuned.

@jljohnson2026 @TOLancers @vcspreps @latsondheimer @CoachBA12 My pick for Ventura County Player of the Week:
Fast, twitchy, and dangerous with the ball in his hands. He’s got that Kadarius Toney feel a true do-it all playmaker. Excited to see what this young man brings to the table this year on both sides of the ball!

805 Player Spotlight Series –

@Atownfootball may have found a new star in first-year varsity starter @ColeZieglerlb. With 13 tackles, 1 sack, and MaxPreps Player of the Game honors, the junior is quickly emerging as one of the top linebackers to watch this season.

[John Smith Conejo Valley Sports Analyst @JohnSmithCVSA]

Player Spotlight Series – 805 Edition
Starting off with a look at a handful of underrated talents in the 805 area who deserve recognition. These are the players making an impact on Friday nights but not always getting the spotlight they’ve earned.

[John Smith Conejo Valley Sports Analyst @JohnSmithCVSA]

Week 1 Takeaways #2:
•@TOLancers handled business in head coach Brendan Anderson’s debut.

•@NadeFootball looks like a sneaky contender this season after taking down Oaks Christian.

•It appears to be another rough year ahead for Oak Park following a lackluster performance

[John Smith Conejo Valley Sports Analyst @JohnSmithCVSA]

Week 1 Takeaways:
• @CalabasasFtball established itself as the frontrunner and the team to beat.
• @_WHSFootball_ favorable schedule appears to be paying dividends, as the Warriors secured their first win in over a year.
•@NPPanthersONE appears to be in a reload year.

[John Smith Conejo Valley Sports Analyst @JohnSmithCVSA]

Excited to announce that I’ll be attending the Redlands Prospect Camp on June 11th and 12th! Looking forward to checking out the talent and seeing some future stars in action.

My marriage ended, I lost custody of my children, and I struggled with alcohol. I’m not proud of that chapter, but I take full responsibility for it. What matters to me now is growth.
