ALSO TODAY:

Neighbors for a half-century, North Hollywood and Harvard-Westlake highs have never met on the football field. That will change today, when North Hollywood travels a few blocks to Harvard-Westlake for a 1:30 game.

“We’ve tried to play them in the past. We just couldn’t put it together,” said Gary Thran, Harvard-Westlake athletic director and former coach.

Said Harvard-Westlake Coach Dave Bennett: “I guess it’ll be The Battle of North Hollywood.”

Small problem there.

Harvard-Westlake is in Studio City, although the school’s mailing address is in North Hollywood.

High school events in the region include:

Cross Country: At 8 a.m., Ojai Invitational at Lake Casitas; Littlerock Invitational at Pearblossom Park.

Girls’ Volleyball: At 8 a.m., Calabasas tournament at Calabasas High.

College events in the region include:

Men’s Soccer: At 7 p.m., Texas Pan-American at Cal State Northridge.
