It's still more than 60 minutes before the start of the 99th meeting between Fillmore and Santa Paula but the place is packed. Even the press box is filled, including folks from The Star's web site and Time Warner cable. For the second straight year, the game looks like it will decide the Frontier League champion.
There's very few games in the county where fans from the two sides are as passionate and that passion brings a buzz that few high school games can match.

With its 6-1 win over Villanova at home on a rain-drenched field, Santa Clara (8-7-2, 4-3 Frontier League) qualified for its first boys' soccer postseason appearance since 1994.

Abel Tadeo set up Sal Mora for the opening goal and multisport star Kory Kindle converted Kevin Tanner's throw-in for the game-winning goal as visiting Ventura High boys' soccer team (16-3-3) beat Dos Pueblos to improve to 4-0-1 in the Channel League Tuesday.

After a scoreless first half, Aaron Glover broke the game open with two goals in a six-minute span and Derek Kirk added a goal and an assist as the St. Bonaventure High boys' soccer (11-5-1) team improved to 4-0 in Frontier League play with a 3-0 win over visiting Santa Clara Tuesday.

Macey Herrera set up Nika Nelero's goal and Megan Erskine set up Riley Ridgik's goal as the Buena High girls' soccer team (14-7-1) improved to 5-0 in Channel League play with a 2-0 win over host San Marcos Tuesday.

Adrinna Nunez scored four times and Diana Leon scored twice as the Santa Paula High girls' soccer team (10-1-1) improved to 4-0 in the Frontier League with a 8-0 win over host Santa Clara Tuesday.

But the Pacifica High girls' soccer team (13-3-3, 5-0-1) did not stay perfect in the Pacific View League. Amber Pimley opened the scoring for Camarillo (6-7-2, 4-1-1) in the 24th minute off Briana Leriviere's throw-in as the Camarillo High girls' soccer team handed Pacifica its first league draw.

Sabrina Munoz's free kick in the 60th minute kept the Tritons unbeaten in league play.

Congratulations to league champions Moorpark, St. Bonaventure, Oxnard, Oaks Christian and Santa Paula. Plaudits also go to Friday's rivalry winners Thousand Oaks, Royal, Oxnard, Camarillo and Channel Islands.
