"In a tribute to the loyalty and love the alumni have for their schools, an estimated crowd of 14,000 showed up Friday night at East Los Angeles College for the 90th East L.A. Classic between Garfield and Roosevelt. That's the largest regular-season attendance for a high school football game in California this season. Garfield delivered a 37-30 victory for Patrick Vargas, a former Bulldogs quarterback who's in his first season as head coach after years working as an assistant under Lorenzo Hernandez."
"The Bulldogs (7-2, 6-0) turned to backup running back Zastice Jauregui, who filled in for All-City running back Ceasar Reyes after the first quarter when Reyes was injured. Reyes rushed for a school-record 420 yards last week. Jauregui, one of the best athletes of the team, scored two touchdowns, including a 15-yard run in the third quarter to increase Garfield's lead to 34-8."
"Defensive lineman Chuck Perez had a three-yard touchdown run and also recovered a fumble. Roosevelt (4-5, 3-2) briefly took an 8-6 lead in the first quarter when Jordan Nunez scored on a four-yard run and Abraham Cardenas added a two-point conversion. Roosevelt got a touchdown and two-point conversion in the final seconds to get within 37-30 during a 16-point fourth quarter."
