TONIGHT’S TOP PLAYOFF GAMES
Temple City (11-0) at Inglewood (9-2), 7:30 p.m.--Top-seeded Temple City will have its hands full in this game, which could easily pass for the Division X championship game. Inglewood, the division runner-up last season, lost twice in Ocean League games by a total of two points and that dropped them to third place, but this is no ordinary third-place team. A deceptive running attack and offensive line led by brothers Keith and Lawrence Jackson has utilized 12 ballcarriers and has gained nearly 4,000 yards. The Sentinels average 35.9 points and should keep the Temple City defense guessing. That defense, led by linebacker James Sepulveda, has yielded only 6.6 points per game and has shutouts in five of its last seven games. The Ram offense, led by quarterback Matt Malczynski and receivers Antonio Wagner and Desmond Reed, has averaged 38.5 points.
