High School Football Preview: Jordan vs. Rancho Dominguez Prep

Mike GuardabascioComments Off on High School Football Preview: Jordan vs. Rancho Dominguez Prep

It’s a regional rivalry clash tonight as Jordan visits Rancho Dominguez Prep in a meeting of two schools separated by only five miles.

Jordan (1-0) is trying to get to 2-0 after an impressive start to the season at Katella, which saw Jaylon Morgan score three touchdowns and establish himself as a legitimate offensive force. The Panthers won their season debut for the first time since 2012, and are trying to start 2-0 tonight for the first time since 2008, when current Lakewood coach Scott Meyer was at Jordan.

They’ll need to contend with the Lobos if they want to stay undefeated. RDP is playing in its first game of the season and the Lobos will want to defend their home turf.

Meetings of the Long Beach Unified School District’s Board of Education are usually pretty…well, boring. Absent of any fireworks or major disagreements, they’re almost always about an hour of cordial agreement and unanimous votes. Last week’s meeting was about as far from “usual” as the Board has probably ever gotten. Superintendent Chris Steinhauser announced that […]
