Feeling euphoric over winning the City Invitational championship with a 28-23 victory over University last Friday in the Coliseum, Garfield Coach Lorenzo Hernandez was contemplating moving his team into the City Championship Division next year.

But after talking it over with his team, and principal Omar M. Del Cueto, on Monday, Lorenzo said the Bulldogs will try to win the Invitational championship again in 2008.

‘I’m about challenges,’ said Hernandez, who has the offensive core of his team coming back. ‘I felt we accomplished what we set out to do in winning the Invitational, and I wanted to set the bar higher for us.

‘If we have a successful season next year, I hope we will consider trying to move up again.’
