Breakdown: Godinez (5-3, 3-0 in league) can clinch at least a share of its second straight Orange Coast League title by beating last-place Costa Mesa (3-5, 0-3) … Godinez is ranked No. 8 in CIF Southern Section Division 12 … Grizzlies feature a run-heavy attack led by McMorris, who was last year’s league MVP … McMorris has run for 100-plus yards in five of Godinez’s eight games, including all three in league. He had 15 carries for 150 yards and four touchdowns in last week’s 42-14 win over Calvary Chapel … Costa Mesa is coming off a 44-20 loss to Estancia in the Battle for the Bell game and has lost four straight games overall … Mustangs are just 2-11 in league since 2015.
