The Oilers have Ohio State-bound Brady Edmunds at quarterback in his fourth season as a starter, and rapidly developing receiver Dylin Bruce, who has committed to Arizona State.<\/p>\n<p>That alone should get the Oilers attention, but their 29-25 win over unbeaten Yorba Linda on Friday night deserves special attention. Yorba Linda was 4-0 and perhaps the best opponent on the Oilers\u2019 schedule. By winning, Huntington Beach showed it\u2019s ready for top 25 consideration in the Southland. It\u2019s the first time since 1998 that the Oilers started 5-0.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still the new Delta League opponents, including Dana Hills and Laguna Beach to face in the coming weeks, but second-year Huntington Beach coach Matthew Hatchette deserves kudos for the progress being made in the program.<\/p>\n<p>This is a daily look at the positive happenings in high school sports.
