Here’s a stunner: Sun Valley Poly (2-1) has a better record than Long Beach Poly (1-3), and the Parrots are just warming up.

Credit the Double Wing for helping Poly score 45, 43 and 58 points in its first three games. Junior running back Kevin Ervin set a school record on Friday, rushing for 409 yards and six touchdowns in 20 carries during a 58-27 victory over Granada Hills. He’s averaging 14.8 yards per carry.

For Poly alumni, it’s a little too early to get excited. Usually, it’s wait until baseball season. But Coach Scott Faer seems to have the offense rolling. Arleta stands in the way in the East Valley League.
