"No one can say Los Angeles Marshall did not earn the City Section Open Division flag football championship. After upsetting top-seeded San Pedro in the semifinals, the fourth-seeded Barristers shut down second-seeded Eagle Rock's high-powered offense to win 20-0 in the final Saturday night at Garfield High. Jaylin Macias ran four yards for Marshall's first touchdown in the first quarter, threw a touchdown pass to Bea Coldinera in the second quarter and ran 15 yards for the clinching touchdown midway through the third."
""Once we got to the playoffs we worked really hard and took it super-duper serious because this is the last year for a lot us, including me," said Macias, who has been the Barristers' quarterback for three years and also plays left wing on the school's soccer team, earning All-City and Northern League MVP honors in both sports. "If I can, I try to pass it, but if I see green, I'll run."
Los Angeles Marshall captured its first City Section Open Division flag football championship with a 20-0 shutout of second-seeded Eagle Rock at Garfield High. The fourth-seeded Barristers upset top-seeded San Pedro in the semifinals before neutralizing Eagle Rock's high-powered offense with aggressive defensive pressure. Jaylin Macias scored four touchdowns, including a four-yard run in the first quarter, a touchdown pass to Bea Coldinera in the second, and a 15-yard clinching run in the third. Eagle Rock quarterback Nylah Moore entered with 3,324 passing yards and 51 touchdowns but was sacked 10 times. Eagle Rock had beaten Marshall 7-0 earlier in league play.
