Football: Cougars head east for adidas passing tournament finals

Crenshaw is one of seven teams headed to Georgia to play for the adidas seven on seven passing tournament national championship July 30-31 at Silverback Stadium in Atlanta. The Cougars qualified for the finals by defeating Upland, 21-19, at Loyola Marymount on June 14 in one of five regional tournaments.

Riding the arm of quarterback Marques Thompson, who was named MVP of the LMU regional, Crenshaw plays Ft. Worth Richland (Texas), Jupiter Christian (Florida), Mesquite (Texas) and Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin (Illinois) in pool play to determine seedings for the next day's single-elimination championship round. Elkhart Concord (Indiana) and Knoxville Farragut (Tennessee) were the other teams invited.

Crenshaw lost to Birmingham, 42-6, in the semifinals of the City Championship Division playoffs last fall.
