Hold on to your garters Martha, there's big news A-Coming!
Okay, the High School football regular season ended Friday night and yesterday the Playoff Brackets were released for the City and Invitational Brackets, essentially the old 3-A and 4-A divisions. Garfield, of course, earned the second seed in the Invitational bracket, but because of a rule governing the exchange of game film, the Bulldogs' original opponent, Jefferson, failed to exchange film with the coaching staff, so the first alternate in the bracket was moved up to take on the Bulldogs.
And Guess who it turned out to be???
Roosevelt!
So, good readers, and you know who you are, this means that for the fist time in History, there will be a rematch of both storied programs in the City Playoffs, a sort of replay of the the East LA Classic, but with larger implications. Last year, the Bulldogs reached the finals of the Invitational bracket, only to fall to Eagle Rock.
As if that wasn't enough, the Bulldogs are the ome team. Normally, the game would be held at Garfield's Dr. Damon Lamarr Field, but this is Roosevelt. There hasn't been a game with Roosevelt held at Garfield since the 1960's, so of course the game will be held at East LA College. And since Garfield's the home team, that gives them asn added incentive to win.
So Bulldog Nation, time to break out the jackets and come out to Weingardt Stadium this Thursday night and be part of history.
