The San Fernando Tigers defeated the Canoga Park Hunters 42-35 to claim the Division II LA City Section Championship Saturday afternoon at East LA College.

The game featured a rematch of Valley Mission League foes. Much like their first meeting, San Fernando pulled out a victory in a high scoring slug fest.

San Fernando, behind the stellar play of junior quarterback Cris Solano and Inglewood transfer, receiver Charles Bell, took a seemingly insurmountable 42-14 in the second half.

Justin Dottery has a lot to prove in the upcoming 2012 HS football season. At 6'2" 247, the Locke HS Saints senior quarterback is poised to lead his team to battle in the Coliseum League.

Dottery credits his coaching staff for continuing to motivate the Locke team. The Saints have worked hard this off-season to improve and compete with the likes of Crenshaw, Dorsey, Cathedral and San Pedro to name a few teams on the 2012-2013 schedule.

"You get that much better and we've really improved that much," said Dottery in regards to the Locke off-season football program.
