The Gardena Serra Cavaliers pulled out a double overtime 20-13 victory over Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) in a wild contest that featured late game heroics from Adoree' Jackson and Jalen Greene.

Notre Dame controlled the game in the first half and jumped out to a 6-0 advantage with two field goals by senior kicker Lucas Alfonso. The Knights defense played great. Koa Farmer and Mike Little locked down the secondary and the Cavaliers were unable to mount much of an offensive attack for three quarters.

The Gardena Serra Cavaliers host the Notre Dame Knights (Sherman Oaks) Friday night in a rematch of last season's classic opener that Serra won 26-23 on a late touchdown by Marques Rodgers. Serra went on to win the state title and is a favorite to repeat again this season.

Vincent Jackson Jr. is one of the most highly-touted recruits in the class of 2014. Jackson hails from Jesuit High School (Tampa, FL) and sits on roughly 40 official scholarship offers from some of the top college football programs across the country.

CLA spoke with Vincent today and he gave us some insight on what the recruiting landscape looks like at the moment.

"I really wanna play early. I'm not worried about how good a team has been in the past. I don't wanna sit for 2 or 3 years," Jackson told CLA.

The 2013 installment of The Opening kicked off Monday morning at Nike headquarters in Beaverton with the best high school football players in the country competing in SPARQ preliminary testing at Bo Jackson Field.

The athletes overcame hot and humid weather conditions and performed several tasks throughout the morning that included the 40-yard dash, power ball toss, 20-yard shuttle and the vertical jump.

Day one at the IMG 7v7 National Championship gave CLA our first glimpse at what the competition is like down in Florida. Going undefeated in the first day of action, South Florida Express looked cruised through their bracket.
