The last automatic CIF Southern Section playoff bid from the Moore League will be handed out at Wilson High tonight where the Bruins are hosting Compton. Wilson (5-4, 3-2) can clinch third place in league with a win, but Compton (6-3, 2-3) would force an envelope draw tiebreaker with a win, and a Lakewood win […]
It seems like timing has been kind to the high school football career of Compton running back Niles Hibbert. He came to Compton the year Calvin Bryant returned as head coach, he turned himself into a running back when there was an opening, and even got a senior season soundtrack from this favorite rapper Lil […]
There’s not much at stake tonight when Millikan (6-2, 4-1) visits Jordan (3-6, 0-5) for the Panthers’ Homecoming game. The Rams have already clinched the second-place seed out of the Moore League; even if they lose, they’d be 4-2 in league, with only Wilson capable of tying them, and the Rams own the tiebreaker over […]
After last week’s loss to Long Beach Poly, Lakewood coach Mike Christensen waved away any talk of Moore League playoff scenarios. “Here’s what I know,” he said. “We’ve got to win next week. That’s all I need to know.” Christensen is correct. The Lancers (2-7, 2-3) need a win over Cabrillo (2-7, 1-4) in order […]

That’s […]
