The Culver City Centaurs (7-2, 3-1) easily handled the Hawthorne Cougars (5-4, 2-2) in a laughable 62-14 victory last Friday. The Cougars offensive play was sloppy. The special teams were stupid in the case of a punt from 4th and very long deep in their own territory and the Cougar punter appeared to decide he would try to run for the first down. He made a good run but it was 4th & LONG in their OWN side of the field. He did not make it and on the very next play the Centaurs tossed a TD pass to add insult to injury. The Centaurs were up 49-0 with 6:38 still left to be played in the second quarter!
There was lots of playing time for back-ups. While mathematically the Centaurs could still drop into a third place tie in the Ocean League, it ain't gonna happen as they are playing the cellar dwelling Beverly Hills Normans (2-7, 0-4).
Hawthorne's task is substantially more difficult as the Cougars will travel to face the Lawndale Cardinals (7-2, 4-0). It appears the Cardinals might have played last week without the services of their star RB Jordan Wilmore. But the Cardinals still managed to dominate the El Segundo Eagles (4-5, 1-3) by a score of 22-7. Hawthorne already has the needed 5 wins to apply for an at-large playoff spot in Division 12 but it remains to be seen whether the field might be too crowded for the Cougars to get in. We will have to wait & see how everything shakes out after next week's games.
The remaining contest has El Segundo traveling to face the Santa Monica Vikings (4-5, 2-2) in a key battle for the third & final guaranteed playoff entry spot. If the Eagles win, they are slight favorites, they will make a three way tie for third place with each team having lost to one of the other.
