Each week, we get a clearer indication about City Section teams, and this week will be no different.
Narbonne plays Long Beach Poly at Veterans Stadium, so it’s a good opportunity to compare how the Gauchos do after Carson lost to the Jackrabbits last week.
Garfield, after losing to tough Southern Section schools Bishop Amat and Huntington Beach Edison, tries 2-0 Dorsey.
Taft, after losing in the final seconds to Dorsey, takes on 2-0 Sherman Oaks Notre Dame. Taft first-year Coach Chris Rizzo was pleased with his team’s defense. Dejaun Butler had a couple of sacks and Daniel Clay had an interception.
Los Angeles Jefferson is emerging as a City Section Division II title threat after wins over Canoga Park and Fremont.
Crenshaw is 0-2 but showed signs of life in a close road loss to Norco. The Cougars play Banning this week.
Arleta, behind a six-touchdown performance from Dejon Coleman, knocked off Marshall and faces a strong challenge from Chatsworth this week.
South East is 2-0 and figures to be 4-0 before facing Garfield in an Eastern League showdown looming in a couple of weeks.
