Lawndale (4-0) managed to overcome their toughest preleague opponent in San Pedro by a score of 35-26. San Pedro led 20-14 at the half and after three quarters but they could not keep Jordan Wilmore bottled up the whole game and Lawndale exploded for 21 4th quarter points. See the Daily Breeze article for details:

Lawndale should be able to defeat Torrance handily. A shutout is possible as Lawndale can handle physical teams, the one element that Torrance definitely has some of.
Culver City (4-0) easily dispensed with LA City University High by a score of 59-0. Culver QB Jonathan Martin was 12 of 17 for 266 yards with 6 TD's and no interceptions. Brandon Oum had 8 rushes for 91 yards and a TD and Joshua Ford added 54 yards on 5 carries. Next week's contest against Dorsey (0-4) may be the toughest game of the preleague season. Don't be fooled by Dorsey's record, they have been playing highly talented to elite level (St. John Bosco) teams so far. Culver will be the easiest opponent they will have faced to date.
El Segundo (4-0) took care of Torrance by a score of 41-10, it was only 20-10 after 3 quarters as Torrance's grind it out wing T run offense probably limited the El Segundo offensive opportunities. But Torrance was not able to throw the ball at all when they needed it as their QB was 0 for 3 on the few passing opportunities they took. El Segundo QB Mathew Romero was 11 of 18 for 216 yards and 3 TD's. El Segundo takes on the even less capable South Torrance (0-4) next week before they open league play at home vs Culver City.
Hawthorne (4-1) had an even more rude awakening than I thought it would be. As Leuzinger(2-3) beat them 55-14. See the Daily Breeze article for details:

Hawthorne will take the week off to lick its wounds and prepare for what should be a nice easy league opener at home vs Beverly Hills on 10/06.
Santa Monica(1-4) was able to break into the win column with a 26-0 defeat of lowly South Torrance. Pretty good offensive game for WR/RB Melvin Hicks and on defense for LB Dennis Sebastian Acosta. Santa Monica is taking a bye before they open league play on 10/06 against Lawndale. Samo has their work cut out for them.
Beverly Hills(0-5) lost 44-0 to Peninsula(3-2) of Palos Verdes. Peninsula is not regarded as a particularly outstanding program, but they are certainly on a level significantly above Beverly Hills. BH will also take a week off, then travel to face Hawthorne(4-1) on 10/06. Hawthorne will relish running up the score in a league game.
