Narbonne, the No. 1 team in the L.A. City Section City Division football playoffs, held on to defeat No. 9 Birmingham, 45-35, on Wednesday night in a second-round game.

The Gauchos (11-1) built a 35-14 lead before Birmingham rallied to make a game of it.

Narbone moves into the semifinals, against the winner of the L.A. Jordan-Crenshaw game next Friday.

No. 2-seeded San Pedro (11-1) had no trouble with No. 7 Venice, claiming a decisive 31-0 decision.

The Pirates will host No. 3 Taft in next week.

Taft (11-1) is led by USC-bound running back D.J. Morgan. The junior put on a show Wednesday despite wet, muddy conditions, rushing for 176 yards and four touchdowns on 23 carries and adding 62 yards receiving in a 40-17 victory over visiting San Fernando.

Taft's only loss is to unbeaten Serra, the No. 2 seed in the CIF Southern Section's Northwest Division.
