Breakdown: This is the final game of a three-game road stretch for Huntington Beach … The Oilers (0-3) struggled to get pressure on two of the top quarterbacks in Orange County – San Clemente’s Brendan Costello and Tesoro’s Chase Petersen. The numbers bear that out, as the Oilers allowed 117 points over their last two games … Huntington Beach gets an opportunity to get in the win column against a Long Beach Wilson team that has seen a significant decrease in its offensive production. The Bruins (1-2) scored 35.8 points per game in 2016. They have a combined 13 points in their two losses this year, and Long Beach Wilson is averaging 18.3 points per contest … Huntington Beach lost at home when these teams met last season, 29-18.
