After watching Jordan’s receivers whiz past his secondary, and its smaller but quicker defense blunt his power running game at crucial times, Garfield Coach Lorenzo Hernandez came to this conclusion:

The Jordan Bulldogs (6-3, 5-0), who hung a 42-22 defeat on his Garfield Bulldogs (6-2, 3-1) Friday to win at least a share of the Eastern League championship, may have a bigger bite than people realize.

‘We gave them a couple of gift [touchdowns] early with turnovers, and once they got up on us, you could forget about it,’ Hernandez said.

‘Athletically, they are phenomenal, a great group of skill guys ... I think they can make some noise in the City playoffs because of the caliber of athletes they’ve got. They could get to the semis because they have the skill players to do it.’
