The Culver City Centaurs (7-1, 2-1) did indeed take care of business in their 47-0 victory over the Hawthorne Cougars (5-3, 1-2). The Centaurs returned the opening kickoff for a TD and never looked back, running out to a 47-0 lead before halftime. You could tell Hawthorne had some physical talent on their side of the ball, but a combination of penalties, dropped passes, horrible execution and bad coaching decisions resulted in Hawthorne presenting no significant threat to the Centaurs. Culver City senior QB Jonathan Martin threw for 236 yards and three TD's. Thanks to dropped passes and the aforementioned other issues Hawthorne had, the Centaurs were able to hold Hawthorne to just 17 yards passing and 76 yards combined both rushing & passing. Centaur slotback Kevin McGuire caught two of those TD's while getting 184 yards receiving on just 4 catches.
Next week is the trap game for Culver as they travel to face the Santa Monica Vikings (3-5, 2-1). Santa Monica beat Ocean League doormat, the Beverly Hills Normans (0-8, 0-3) 35-7 last week. The Centaurs are tied for second with the Vikings and might show up a little over confident and flat after their easy victory over Hawthorne and with the calpreps projection of a 50-7 Centaur victory. But this is a very important game for Culver. A win should lock up 2nd place while a loss might still have them with the edge for third place. That would mean they would have to hope everything falls into place with all other teams eligible for the Division 11 playoffs and a possibility of having to open the playoffs on the road.
The big game of the week in the Ocean League would have undoubtedly been the Lawndale Cardinals (8-0, 3-0) beating the El Segundo Eagles 49-14. See the details in the link to the Daily Breeze article:

Lawndale continues to dominate the Ocean League and has now beaten the two biggest threats in the Ocean League in both Culver City and El Segundo. This week, the Beverly Hills Normans (0-8, 0-3) must travel to Lawndale in a contest in which only the running clock will provide mercy for the Normans. Calpreps.com predicts a 62-0 Lawndale victory. Only the running clock will hold it down to that amount.
El Segundo will now host Hawthorne. The Eagles are a crisp executing team. Hawthorne stands no chance of even showing competitiveness if they play as badly as they did against Culver City. Calpreps.com projects it as a 48-13 Eagle victory.
