October 9, 2014 Page 5 Leuzinger Rolls to a Big Revenge By Joe Snyder Photos by Joe Snyder Last season, Leuzinger High’s football team struggled through a 0-10 season that included a home 44-8 loss to cross town rival Hawthorne. This year, the Olympians have a new coach in Dameon Porter, have more players, and are in higher spirits. They definitely showed it as they improved their preseason record to 3-2 with a surprisingly easy 40-7 victory over the Cougars in their annual Mayor’s Cup rivalry last Friday at Hawthorne. The contest saw Leuzinger surge out to a 16-0 first quarter lead, before Hawthorne, which fell to 2-3, got on the scoreboard when their standout all-around senior player, Paris McDaniel scored on a three-yard run with 1:39 left before halftime. For a brief time from there, Hawthorne had some hope to come back, but the Olympians’ speed and athletic ability got to the Cougars in the second half. Leuzinger proceeded to outscore Hawthorne 24-0 in the final two quarters to turn the game into a rout. It started when middle linebacker Edgar Mijares stripped the ball loose from Hawthorne quarterback Carlos Jacobo and ran 10 yards for a touchdown to increase the Olympians’ lead to 23-7 with 45 seconds into the third quarter. Leuzinger used mostly a running game throughout. With 3:03 remaining in the third period, quarterback Edson Santos was threatened with a sack but was able to get the ball to speedy running back Lionel Smith and he was off to the races for a 47-yard TD. The Olympians continued their onslaught into the final period as they completed their scoring on a five-yard run by Adrian Galera and a 40-yard field goal from kicker Steven Ortiz, who is also one of Leuzinger’s top boys’ soccer players. “We didn’t play well in the first half,” Porter said. “In the second half, we got things together. We’ve been improving every game. It was a very emotional game.” Galarea also scored the Olympians’ first touchdown on a reception from Santos and Smith, who has 10.8 100-meter speed in track and field, added a 10-yard reception. Smith rushed for 104 yards and one TD on nine carries. For Leuzinger, it will begin the rigorous Pioneer League with a bang; a home game against an unbeaten West Torrance squad that is top ranked in the CIF-Southern Section Western Division on Friday at 7 p.m. The Warriors are coming off an impressive 41-19 win over CIF-Los Angeles City and Marine League power Carson last Friday at Carson. West (5-0) is loaded with talent behind returning all-Southern Section and Major Division I college prospect running back Brett Ojiyi, quarterback Travis Mallet, along with wide receivers Zac McGraw and Dale Rouse. “West is a very good team.” Porter said. “We’re looking to get a good week of practice. We’re looking forward to it.” Hawthorne begins the Ocean League against Santa Monica at Santa Monica City College at the same time. For the Cougars, their help could be that the Ocean is mostly down, with exception undefeated El Segundo. The Vikings are 2-3 in preseason with wins over nearby L.A. City Section rival Palisades and last week against Pomona 10-8. Santa Monica, which has been among the tops in the Ocean in recent years, is faced with rebuilding but it does have a very good defense. El Segundo appears to be a definite favorite in the Ocean. The ex-Pioneer team Eagles are ranked second, behind West, in the Southern Section at 5-0 after an impressive 37-6 win over host and previously unbeaten South Torrance. Last season, El Segundo was Northwest Division finalist, losing at Nordhoff 49-21 in Ojai. Morningside Moves to Bay on Right Foot Morningside High’s football team is off to what could be its best start in several years with a 4-1 preseason record after rallying from a 22-point third quarter deficit to edge host and last year’s CIF-L.A. City Section Division III champion View Park Prep 41-38 last Friday at Rancho Cienega Park. Down 28-6 early in the third quarter, the Monarchs finished the contest with a 35-10 run. Among the highlights was a 90-yard kickoff return from Jonathan Hill with a 90-yard kickoff return that started the rally. Running back Christian Williams ran for 101 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. Isaac Lewis rushed for 75 yards. Morningside begins the Bay League at Coleman Stadium against Peninsula, which is 1-3. The Panthers had their home game against Compton Centennial canceled due Leuzinger ballcarrier Kahlil Miller runs upfield in last Friday’s Mayors Cup football rivalry showdown against Hawthorne. The Olympians rolled over the Cougars 40-7. Leuzinger begins the Pioneer League at home against West Torrance Friday at 7 p. to very hot weather at Peninsula in Rolling Hills Estates. A week earlier, the Panthers lost to host Lawndale 42-21. Lawndale Fals Short Lawndale High’s football team fell short of host Torrance 39-34 in their non-league finale last Friday. The Cardinals, who fell to 2-3, had a chance to win but a final pass attempt by quarterback Chris Murray was knocked down. Murray completed 11 of 31 passes for 309 yards and two touchdowns. Murray also rushed for 145 yards and three TD’s on 15 carries. The Cardinals, who played the past several years in the Pioneer League, make their debut in the Ocean at home against an 0-5 Culver City team Friday at 7 p.m. The once promising Centaurs, who lost seven players who transferred to other schools, lost at home to Oxnard Channel Islands 21-14 last Friday. • Leuzinger High’s football team celebrates as it retains the Mayor’s Cup after avenging last year’s defeat to Hawthorne with a 40-7 victory last Friday at Hawthorne.
