The City section is making noise in non league games on Friday night as Narbonne defeated Serra 22-9, and now Crenshaw knocks off Oak Christian 13-2 behind great defense for the Cougars. Robert Garrett and his coaching staff are doing a remarkable job with about 23 players on his roster, are a force too be recon with. The one thing you can't teach players is heart, and this year Crenshaw team are a gutsy group of young men playing football. With wins over Norco, Edison and now Oak Christian the door is wide open for the Cougars. With players going both ways you know Crenshaw's players have to be in great condition.

Oak Christian could never get any thing going on offense as Crenshaw's defensive line was pressuring Oak Christian's quarterback Brandon Hawkins, and force him to throw five interceptions in the game. The secondary for Crenshaw were awesome as they had great coverage all night and never gave up in big plays during the game . Crenshaw got on the board first in the third quarter as Jacob Knight score on a eighteen yard touchdown run to give Crenshaw a 6-0 lead.

Oak Christian had no answer for Crenshaw's defense, and with the victory Crenshaw's record now improves to 4-1, and Oak Christian's record is 4-1 also.

If Crenshaw continues to play at the level they are playing, and no injuries, there is a good chance they could make it to back to the city finals against a team that everyone thinks will be there also Narbonne, who is playing great football also for the city section. One thing is for sure to win a city championship and get a berth in a state bowl game you have to win one game at a time, and everything else will take care of itself.
