Plenty of high school football playoff action tonight

I realize the Lakers' 16-2 start and Sean Avery's recent antics can be distracting, but don't forget there are a bunch of high school football playoff games tonight. You'll definitely want to stop by the Varsity Times Insider tonight for updates and scores from games around the Southland.

Eric Sondheimer will be sending in updates from the City Section Championship Division semifinal showdown between L.A. Crenshaw and Harbor City Narbonne and I'll be live blogging from the other semifinal game between Woodland Hills Taft and San Pedro.

Mark Medina will be blogging from Manhattan Beach, as Mira Costa attempts to block Palmdale from its second consecutive Western Division title appearance. We'll also have updates from the Northern Division semifinal between Ventura St. Bonaventure and Saugus thanks to my colleague, Steve Galluzzo.

Also, be sure to check out Ben Bolch's preview on all of this weekend's big semifinal matchups.
