L.A. Jordan was one of the most impressive teams in seven-on-seven passing tournaments, and the Bulldogs showed in a 42-15 victory over Locke that they can also perform well in pads.

Eric Hunter caught a touchdown and ran for a touchdown, and freshman Raymond Ford III made an impressive debut, making an interception and catching a touchdown.

Next up for Jordan is a Friday night game against Esperanza at Gardena. Esperanza’s defense was outstanding in a 12-9 victory over Corona Santiago.

‘Something has to give,’ Jordan Coach Elijah Asante said, referring to his team’s terrific offense and Esperanza’s defense.

Asante also complimented fellow Eastern League member Garfield for its upset victory over Birmingham.

‘It was great for the Eastern League,’ he said.
