Los Angeles Garfield isn’t resting on its laurels after upsetting Birmingham in a nonleague game last season. Coach Lorenzo Hernandez has added Newhall Hart, a Southern Section power, to his schedule for 2009.

The Bulldogs will open with a zero week game against Birmingham at Garfield, play St. Paul, L.A. Wilson and Hart at College of the Canyons.

‘It’s exciting,’ Hernandez said. ‘It’s good motivation.’

Hernandez is an example of a coach who keeps raising his program by playing tough teams and getting his players to raise their level too.

Hart is playing another City Section school, Woodland Hills El Camino Real, in its opener.
