The Los Angeles Rams posted their first win of the 2016 season Sunday at the Los Angeles Coliseum, defeating the Seattle Seahawks 9-6. That’s the good news. The not-quite-as good news is that – for the second straight week – the offense has been a no-show. The team has not scored a touchdown so far through eight quarters.
Coach Jeff Fisher probably won’t do that yet, but if the Rams can’t finally breach the end zone next week in Arizona, fans will start reviving an old L.A. tradition: a quarterback controversy.
The best matchup for area prep football teams is clearly Mater Dei vs. Edison at LeBard Stadium in Costa Mesa on Friday. The Chargers are 4-0 and ranked at the top of the CIF-SS Division 3 poll (and atop our High Five), but the Monarchs (4-0) are ranked nationally as number one in California and number three in the nation.
We know most coaches and fans aren’t into “moral victories,” but what a feat it would be for the boys from Magnolia Street to throw a scare into a team that many consider to be the best schoolboy team in the whole United States of America.
