Football: City Section looking for some money

The City Section Interscholastic Athletic Committee has given approval for a football doubleheader at the Coliseum, but only if someone comes up with $20,000.

As it stands, the City Championship Division final will be played on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 1 p.m. at the Coliseum. But IAC has given approval for the City Invitational to be played at the Coliseum in the morning on Dec. 13 if funds can be found.

Otherwise, the game will be played on Dec. 12 at a high school site.

Donations can be made to City Section Assistant Commissioner John Aguirre by calling (213) 207-2200.

Since I predict Roosevelt is going to make the City Invitational final, Aguirre might want to check with the mayor’s office for some funds since he’s running the school these days.
