The Culver City Centaurs (6-2, 2-1) were able to keep most of the El Segundo Eagles (4-4, 1-2) in check for the part of the game they were allowed to play. The Centaurs opened the scoring in the first quarter with a 35 yard TD pass from Zevi Echaus. They followed that up with a 42yd TD run by Joshua Ford. Ford had another nifty 41yd run that led to the third TD of the first quarter.

The Eagles were struggling to keep up with the Centaurs. Eagle QB Matt Romero was the one factor of significant success with his legs. He broke free for a couple of long runs that tried to keep Eagle drives alive. The Centaurs closed out the scoring with another TD in the second quarter. The lightning became too dangerous and the game was called in the second quarter.

Next week, the Centaurs face Hawthorne. The Cougars are a potential trap game for the Centaurs in that Culver is expected to win, but Hawthorne has all the physical tools to be successful.

The Hawthorne Cougars (4-3, 1-1) were supposed to play the Beverly Hills Normans (2-5, 0-2) on Friday night, but it looks like the teams agreed to a Monday game at 4pm. The Cougars game against the Normans is important to Hawthorne because they need the win to get to 5 wins which will allow them to submit paperwork for playoff eligibility. If they drop the game against the Normans, they would have to beat either Culver City or Lawndale.

The Lawndale Cardinals (6-2, 3-0) did just enough in their closely fought game against the Santa Monica Vikings (3-5, 1-2), to win 13-6. They apparently could not come to an agreement on when & where to finish the game after it was suspended. The Cardinals next face El Segundo.

The Beverly Hills Normans will be traveling to face the Santa Monica Vikings, next Friday.
