Week zero for Orange County high school football is in the books. It was an exciting weekend with some entertaining games and also included a big show of support for Segerstrom junior Israel Escobedo, who Coach Joseph Tagaloa said is battling leukemia. Escobedo would have started at inside linebacker.

Here’s a look at some of the pictures from the weekend, most are new ones and some are our favorites we thought we would share again.
