More photos » by Ross D. Franklin - AP Browse more photos » I think it is unanimous among Angels fans that the senior citizen of recent Halo squad, reliever Darren Oliver deserves a generous one-year contract from the team for 2010.

Things went (mostly) according to plan -- or, really, according to the Sagarin ratings -- as far as Westside football. The one that didn't: Avon 's 28-24 upset of Ben Davis , which saw the Orioles play up to their considerable talent and actually get the right bounces in a close game for once this year (they lost six by 11 points or less during the regular season).
