JANN HENDRY/Acorn Newspapers GREAT WALL OF AGOURA—Westlake High's Justin Lilley, center, has no room to run against the Charger defense in Week 4. Royal (3-1) at

Newbury Park (3-1)

Outlook: A pair of Marmonte League heavyweights will go toeto-toe at NPHS.

Last week, Newbury Park suffered its first loss of the season, a 27-14 setback at Moorpark.

The Panther offense struggled to get anything going against Moorpark, and the running game, in particular, was nonexistent.

If Chris Brown is able to return this week from his back injury, it could provide a real shot in the arm to the entire Panther team.

Royal has relied on senior quarterback Trevor Shubert to shoulder its offensive load. He's a very accurate passer. The Highlander defense is also much improved from a season ago.

Westlake (2-2)

at Calabasas (1-3)

Outlook: Westlake can't bhappy after what took place iAgoura last Friday night.

Although it appears as if thWarriors were on the wrong sidof a missed field goal call at thend of the game, salivating owhat happened won't do any gooat this juncture. It was, in fact, only one leagugame, and the Marmonte title remains up for grabs. Against Calabasas, the Warriorhave a decisive advantage on offense, defense and special teamsAnything short of a win woulqualify as a monumental upset. Coming off a tough loss tChannel Islands in Week 3, thCoyotes were run over by Royalast weekend, 41-0.
