Notable

• Lindbergh QB Matt Stuart will miss the season to have Tommy John surgery this week. Eagles WR Cam Callen, coming off surgery early in the year for a torn labrum, will likely miss the team's first two nonleague games.

• The last teams to beat Kennedy in a Seamount game were Hazen and Lindbergh in 2009. JFK has since built a 13-game winning streak in league.
