The Gardena Serra Cavaliers captured the CIF-SS Western Division Championship with a hard fought 30-28 victory over the Chaminade Eagles at Serra High School Friday night.

The Cavaliers jumped out to an early lead on a long touchdown run by junior Adoree’ Jackson on a fake punt.

Trailing 7-0, Chaminade answered with a touchdown run by standout running back Terrell Newby to tie the game.

Playmaking junior linebacker Dwight Williams gave Serra a 14-7 lead with an impressive interception return for a touchdown.

Nearly a week has passed since Gardena Serra defeated the Lompoc Braves to end California's longest active HS varsity football winning streak of 32 games, but Jackson and the Cavaliers have all but forgotten about their team's historic victory.

"Practice has definitely been a different focus. We have to forget about the win against Lompoc. If we lose this game I don't think people will remember that we ended their 32-game winning streak, but that we lost to Chaminade."

The Gardena Serra Cavaliers took care of business Friday night with an impressive 58-6 victory over the Santa Monica Vikings. Serra advances to face top seed and undefeated Lompoc in the CIFSS Western division semifinals next Friday.

The Cavaliers jumped out to an early lead on a short touchdown run by Malik Roberson.

Serra added to its lead on a 12-yard touchdown run from 5-star recruit Adoree’ Jackson.

The St. John Bosco Braves overpowered the Tesoro Titans 38-17 on a frigid night in Bellflower to advance in the Pac 5 playoffs. The Braves will face Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) next week.

Both teams settled for field goals early. With the game tied 3-3, the Braves took the lead on 7-yard touchdown run by Darren Walker.

Tesoro answered with an explosive 57-yard touchdown burst from senior running back Nate Tago.

St. John Bosco sophomore quarterback Josh Rosen connected with junior running back Lonell Woodhouse on a 22-yard touchdown pass to give the Braves a 17-10 advantage.

The Crenshaw Cougars defeated the Dorsey Dons 34-14 Friday night at Jackie Robinson Park to notch their seventh victory of the season and seize control of first place in the Coliseum league.

Crenshaw jumped out to a 7-0 lead when junior quarterback Ajene Harris linked up with Dominique Hatfield on an 18-yard touchdown.

The Gardena Serra Cavaliers took care of business Thursday night, dominating league foe St. Francis 42-6 behind a stellar defensive performance and three touchdowns from Malik Roberson.

With playmaker Taz Bateman lost for the season with a broken ankle, it was incumbent upon others to step their game up. On this night, it was Malik Roberson that was up to the challenge.

Trailing 3-0, the Cavaliers took the lead on a rushing touchdown by Roberson. The Serra defense held the St. Francis offense out of the end zone all night, yielding only two long field goals. Serra led 14-6 at halftime.
