Fans turned out in big numbers for high school football games in week nine and Orange County teams were also supported by cheerleaders and band members.

A capacity crowd at Newport Harbor showed up to see Corona del Mar defeat Newport Harbor in the Battle on the Bay and CdM students poured onto the field to celebrate.

At Irvine Stadium, Portola clinched a share of the Pacific Hills League title with a victory over Woodbridge. Woodbridge fans filled their side of Irvine Stadium for the Warrior home game.
