Woodbridge and Irvine high school football teams, who both had a bye last week, return to action Friday night in a non-league game at Irvine Stadium beginning at 7 p.m.

Both teams are 3-3 overall.

“It’s been a up and down season so far,” said Woodbridge Coach Aaron Craver. “Irvine is always a tough opponent and rival team. I’m sure It will be a hard  fought game. We are looking forward to a great game.”

Craver said the Warriors have been led by Dereck Moore, Daniel Goodrich, Zach Felix, Feiamma Armstrong, Eddie Ma and Gabriel Maindi this season.

The game is the final non-league contest before the teams start league play next week.

Coach Tom Ricci’s Irvine team defeated Beckman 13-0 on Friday, Sept. 23 while Woodbridge lost to Laguna Hills 28-5. Woodbridge’s victories came against Cerritos (37-19), Esperanza (35-14) and Arcadia (21-14).
