Orland: 2-0; last week beat Lindhurst 35-14. Last 3 Meetings 2010: Orland 27, Corning 35 — J.D. Whited carried 19 times for 197 yards and two touchdowns as the Cardinals racked up 385 yards on the ground. Cameron Nye and Tyler McIntyre also scored rushing touch- downs and Ryan Holland had an 80-yard interception return for a score. Roy Madrigal had 1.5 sacks. Orland was led by quarterback Brandon Smith who threw for 209 yards and three scores on 10-for-26 passing. He also rushed 15 times for 73 yards and a touchdown. Jose Huerta caught five balls for 128 yards and two touchdowns. 2009: Corning 41, Orland 7— Corning gained all 435 yards of offense on the ground as Fontaine Richardson carried 11 times for 186 yards and two scores. Cameron Nye had three touchdowns to go along with 155 yards. Tyler Price also scored. Nick Johnson and Kevin Landavazo each recorded a pair of sacks against a Trojans' team led by 105 rush- ing yards form Jose Huerta. 2008: Orland 21, Corning 41 — Corning had a 21-0 lead by the end of the first quarter as Cameron Nye rushed for 157 yards. Fontaine Richardson scored a rushing touchdown and returned an interception. Tyler McIntyre had an interception and a pair of rushing touchdowns and Casey Cleland added a score. Orland was led by Edgar Alvarado, who had 143 rushing yards and 83 more receiving. Trojans' Scouting Report Orland was one of those Week 0 teams, so they have a pair of games under their belt. They crushed lower division Hamilton 40-0 in their open- er and then beat Lindhurst last week after being tied at halftime. The team has decent speed, led by quarterback Austin Schmeltzer, who scored five times against Hamilton, including runs of 71 and 77 yards. He's accounted for most of the offense so far for the Trojans. He's 10-of-20 threw the air. His top target through the air is Javone Bradford. His line is led by Scott Batchelder (6'4", 265) and veterans Marco Cis- neros and Jake Funk. It's a solid line and this could be one of those in the trenches type 4:30 p.m. games. Orland's defense is led by defensive end Enrique Gonzalez and top tackler Ben Howard. Howard has eight sacks in two games. The Trojans have been stuck in the 4-win range as of late, but appear to be a program on the upswing after their JV posted an 8-2 record in 2010. Corning will look to continue its relentless ground game.

(AP) — Look past the towering rock concert stage that engulfs part of the Lambeau Field parking lot and there's a pair of massive banners depicting Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees hanging off the arena across the street. Hotels will be full. Schools will close early. Coolers will be stocked and grills will be sizzling as a presidential speech goes largely ignored. As Kid Rock warms up for a pregame concert, there will be no doubt that a bigger-than-big game is hitting the NFL's smallest market. Rodgers and Brees are the last two Super Bowl nals racked up 544 yards in their opener against Las Plumas — only attempting a single pass in the process. J.D. Whited had three touchdowns and John Lowe had a pair of scores behind Corning's strong offensive line. Wolves Shasta Red Bluff Spartans Friday 7:30 p.m. Shasta: 1-1; last week lost to West Valley 34-27 Red Bluff: 0-1; last week lost to Pleasant Valley 17-13 Last 3 Meetings 2010: Red Bluff 13, Shasta 53 — Shasta led 28-0 early as Clay Cavendar accounted for five touchdowns for the Wolves. Red Bluff scored on a 1-yard quarterback keeper from Cory Lyon, who was later injured and lost for the season. Tyler Demerath added Red Bluff's other score. 2009: Shasta 53, Red Bluff 14— The Spartans had four punts blocked and Evan Taylor accounted for five touchdowns, including a return of the second half kickoff as the Wolves breezed by Red Bluff. Cory Lyon went 7-for-11 for 106 yards and Zack Schwabauer rushed 22 times for 120 yards. Colin Dahlberg also had a rushing touchdown for Red Bluff. 2008: Red Bluff 17, Shasta 20 — Collin Ramirez went 14-for-28 fir 246 yards through the air for Red Bluff, including a touchdown to Scott Avery. Cole McKenzie caught seven balls for 167 yards and Trevor Gipson added a field goal for Red Bluff, who came up short on the road. Wolves' Scouting Report Clay Cavendar was one of the more dynamic players the Northern Section has seen. He passed for 21 touchdowns a season ago and rushed in 21 more as Shasta reached the Division-I semifinals in 2010. Luckily for the Spartans, he graduated. This year Chris Collins takes his place, he's also a dual threat quarter- back, although he's yet to prove he's as much of a threat as Cavendar was. Shasta bounced Lassen 27-17 in a Week 0 game, before West Valley wore them out on the ground last week. The Wolves' have just one returning starter, Sheldon Waterhouse, on their offensive line. Avery Holley and Cody Lunsford are the primary options in the back- field. Shasta also has a playmaker Steven Johnson at wide receiver. Lunsford has returned kickoffs in both games this season and Johnson returned one as well against West Valley. Shasta's special teams unit should test Red Bluff's renewed dedication to kick coverage. Shasta's 4-4 defense is led by Collins and Trevor Short, both line- backers in the system. West Valley gained 238 yards on the ground against Shasta and it could be where Red Bluff decides to attack the Wolves' undersized defense as well, after the Spartans found success behind their own line last week. Red Bluff's defense pressured a young Pleasant Valley offensive line in the front and with a similar situation as the Wolves' have in the trench- es. Expect more blitz packages and stunts worked into the game plan. Friday's expected heat will also factor. Packers, Saints on stage for 'mini Super Bowl' won or lost in the first week of the season. ''I'm sure we're going to get questions about future playoff implications and all that stuff about this game,'' Brees said. ''We see ourselves as a great team and as a contender. They see them- selves as a great team and as a contender. The fact of the matter is it's one game and it just happens to be the first game of the season on a Thursday night on national television. But you just try to cut through all that and understand it's just a game, and it's just one game.'' After last year's stunning playoff loss to Seat- tle prevented New Orleans from repeating, Brees knows firsthand about the scrutiny that comes after winning the Super Bowl. ''You lose a game or something like that, it's like people are just waiting for something bad to happen to your team so they can say, 'I told you so,''' Brees said. ''There's pressure with that, and obviously the expectation level after winning the Super Bowl, the thought being that, 'Hey, there's no reason why we can't go do it again.' You just have to be careful that there's not a sense of enti- tlement there. It almost becomes even harder the next year because everybody's gunning for you.'' What Brees doesn't know is how the lockout MCT file photo Aaron Rodgers and the Packers start their Super Bowl defense tonight against the Saints. MVPs, leading the last two Super Bowl winners into Thursday night's opener. For the league, it's a chance to finally put away any lingering resent- ment from an offseason filled with ugly and tense — and ultimately successful — labor negotia- tions. For the Saints and Packers, it's a chance to send an early message that they intend to contend again. Greg Jennings said it feels kind of like a ''mini Super Bowl,'' but Rodgers wasn't quite willing to go that far. ''It's a similar feel to a big game, a playoff game,'' Rodgers said. ''I don't want to say the Super Bowl. There's a big atmosphere outside the stadium. But the only thing that matters is taking care of business on the field.'' Brees knows no big-picture objectives will be will affect the Packers — or any other team, for that matter. The Saints got together for informal, team-wide workouts during the lockout, orga- nized by Brees. The Packers didn't, and Rodgers and other Packers players have publicly dismissed those workouts as not being worthwhile. ''We tried to simulate as best we could a nor- mal offseason, albeit it wasn't at our team facility and we had to make other arrangements on our own and do everything on our own,'' Brees said. ''The hope was that that would be able to put us into a situation where we felt like we still had an offseason. ... It would feel like we were just going to training camp, just like we were every year, but we were a little bit ahead of the game and maybe would give us an edge.'' The Saints are recommitting to the running game and have some new faces to make it hap- pen. Reggie Bush is gone, but Pierre Thomas returns after being slowed by an ankle injury last season.
