Los Angeles, Ca- Two schools with rich City Section Football the Garfield Bulldogs and the Crenshaw Cougars faced off Friday at Crenshaw High School. Once the turf pellets fell Crenshaw had raced off to 49-0 victory.

Another big player for Crenshaw was Dennis Patrick who also found end zone twice, one was exciting 67 yard score. Patrick had to turn around and do kickoff duties after each score as well. Kicking off eight times in the game his legs were working.
From the defense class of 2018 defensive back Joseph Williams was tasked with guarding Garfield receiver Jalen Lawrence who had few big catches but didn’t reach the promise land.
Williams was able to stop two big drives of Garfield with interceptions, first one coming on athletic double tip and catch. His second interception came on fade route in the end zone.
“My coaches told me the ball was coming to me,” said Crenshaw Corner Joseph Williams.
