Pioneer’s football program begins the Watts Summer Games Saturday with games against
Fairfax at noon and Morningside at 2 p.m. at Los Angeles Southwest College (1600 West imperial Highway, corner of Imperial and Western, right off the 105 Freeeway). The Titans come back Sunday to play LA Banning at noon and Artesia at 2 p.m.
“We like playing in the Watts Games because we feel there is a good chance we wil see some speed and some man-to-man coverage that we don’t see during the regular season,” coach Ramon Juarez said. “We also like it because its more like a real game than some of the other competitions. We play on a field 70 yards by 50 yards, and you move the ball down the field. You have three downs to make 10 yards and a first down until you’re iniside the 40 (yard line) and then you have four downs. Two twenty-minute, running time halves and one time out per half. It’s all very fast paced.”
There are games starting on two fields every hour from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
