3-A CHAMPIONSHIUP

Top-seeded Carson hasn’t rolled through the playoffs like second-seeded El Camino Real, which has outscored its three postseason opponents, 131-12, but certainly has legend on its side. With nine City 4-A titles to its credit, Carson has reached a City football final for the 19th time in 35 years. Carson, which is 7-1 against El Camino Real in playoff games since 1973, is averaging 26 points in the postseason with an 11-point average margin of victory. El Camino Real running back Quincy Wright has turned it up a notch for the playoff run, rushing for 611 yards and nine touchdowns in three games. Carson switched from a spread offense to a conservative two-back set in the playoffs to minimize problems caused by muddy fields. The Colts have a balanced attack. Maurice Miller, who is coming off a 215-yard performance against Chatsworth, has rushed for 1,248 yards and nine touchdowns and is 107 yards away from setting a single-season school record. Quarterback Ed Nabayan has passed for 1,683 yards and 19 touchdowns. His favorite target is Billy Wingfield, who has 34 catches for 548 yards and six touchdowns.
