Garfield offensive lineman Efrain Gonzalez didn’t exactly guarantee victory over rival Roosevelt in the Classic game this Friday at East Los Angeles College.

But the senior didn’t exactly sound as if he gives the Rough Riders much of a chance.

‘This game prepares us for tough playoff games,’ Gonzalez said. ‘It’s electrifying. But if we come out hard and play our style of football, I think we should be able to beat them again.’

Roosevelt quarterback Jesse Diaz, also a senior, made no predictions but noted the danger of being too emotional in a rivalry game. ‘It will be which team can take control of their emotions, handle it well, and not make mistakes.’
