A brief spin around area prep football scene as Friday night bleeds into Saturday a.m.:
*Uh, St. Bonaventure 32, Poly 7: How did that happen?
The Jackrabbits' defense played poorly in the team's 42-28 opening victory over Bakersfield on Sept. 2.
And, apparently, the passing game isn't nearly as good as it looked in that game, either.
The Jackrabbits play at Narbonne next Friday night and they are in no position to look beyond that game
But I can and Poly will be in Veterans Stadium on Sept. 24 to face Mission Viejo, the top-ranked Pac-5 club. That could be ugly.
*Lakewood 27, St. John Bosco 7: The Lancers, obviously, held up pretty well after that glorified scrimmage they played last week against Locke.
Could the Lancers be 10-0 when the Pac-5 playoffs start? Unless Poly improved considerably in the next month, they will be.
*BIshop Amat 21, Dominguez 15: I was at this one. The visiting Lancers (No. 7 in the Pac-5 and they will leap-frog at least Poly on Monday) dominated the game but still need four consecutive big defensive stops in the final minute to hold on against the host Dons.
Dominguez is No. 2 behind Serra in the Western Division but the Dons, even if they reach the final, can't beat the Cavaliers.
*Edison 48, Wilson 7: Welcome to reality, Pac-5 Division style, Bruins.
*Cabrillo 24, Lynwood 7: Enjoy it while you're able, guys -- it gets a lot tougher from hear on out.
*Compton 27, Centennial 14: The Tarbabes will take a 2-0 record into their non-league city battle with Dominguez next week. That one should be, eh, emotional.
*Millikan 46, Artesia 7: Wow . . the Pioneers (who trailed Edison 59-zip at intermission last week) must not be very good, eh?
*La Palma Kennedy 69, Gahr 51: Nice D, fellows!
