Arleta (10-0), a second-year varsity program, has been seeded No. 1 for the City Invitational playoffs. Coach Jeff Engilman, who lives in Acton, needed almost three hours to reach the City meeting Saturday in downtown Los Angeles because of freeway closures due to the Sylmar fire.

Roosevelt (8-2) was seeded No. 2, Franklin (8-2) No. 3 and Fairfax (6-4) No. 4.

Here’s the City Invitational pairings: No. 16 South East (3-7) at No. 1 Arleta (10-0); No. 9 Huntington Park (5-4) at No. 8 Lincoln (6-4); No. 12 Santee (5-5) at No. 5 Wilson (7-3); No. 13 Reseda (4-6) at No. 4 Fairfax (6-4); No. 14 Canoga Park (5-5) at No. 3 Franklin (8-2); No. 11 Cleveland (5-5) at No. 6 West Adams (7-3); No. 10 Marshall (7-3) at No. 7 El Camino Real (6-4); No. 15 Jefferson (4-5) at No. 2 Roosevelt (8-2).
