City Section roundup: Canoga Park sophomore Dominic Arango-Serna is making impact

Canoga Park has cruised to victories over Roosevelt and Chavez to start the football season 2-0 going into what figures to be an offensive slugfest against Grant at home on Friday.

The Hunters have shown off one of the best players in the City Section in sophomore receiver Dominic Arango-Serna, who is proving to be a big-play offensive weapon.

This week will be about City Section teams trying to recover after a dismal week against Southern Section opponents. Birmingham, Garfield, Granada Hills, Carson, Crenshaw and Hamilton were all routed by Southern Section opponents, and Venice lost to Harvard-Westlake.

Among the intriguing games is the battle for best team in Reseda. Reseda (1-1) is hosting surprising Cleveland (2-0), which has been showing off a strong rushing attack with its new double wing attack.

Franklin (2-0) is hosting San Fernando (2-0). Both teams have improved their passing attacks.

Narbonne (1-1), coming off a rare loss to a top team from Utah, Lone Peak, will face unbeaten St. Paul on the road.

Westchester (2-0) plays host to St. Bernard (1-1) in the battle of South Bay teams.

Charter school supremacy is at stake when Palisades plays at Granada Hills.
