Football: Festivities begin for East L.A. Classic
Players from Garfield and Roosevelt got together on Sunday at Stevens Steakhouse in Commerce for the annual Beef Bowl as part of festivities for the 80th East Los Angeles Classic.
The game is set for Friday night at East L.A. College.
Garfield is 7-2 and 5-0 in the Eastern League.
Roosevelt is 5-4 and 3-2.
Don’t anyone think Roosevelt is just going to show up and lose because it’s the underdog. The underdog in this game is always most dangerous.
But Garfield, led by versatile quarterback Stevie Williams (no, he doesn’t own the steak restaurant), is trying to solidify its position for the City Section Division I playoffs.
