Quickly into the game Abbott scored its first touchdown made by John Richardson, but before the half was over, Washington, coached by Estella Robles, made a comeback with a touchdown scored by Allen Ovalle. Both teams showed true team spirit, but only one school could prevail. Abbott won the game 20 to 6. The last two (2) touchdowns which sealed the game were scored by Raul Salazar and quarterback Mark Gomez. February 23 1995 - Lindbergh vs Mark Twain Both teams struggled to make a touchdown in the beginning of the game. Lindbergh coached by Darnell Rubin made a move and Mark Twain coached by Frank Wesley countered each and every move. Soon Lindbergh rose to the occasion scoring two (2) touchdowns both scored by George Malagon at the end of the first half. Although, Mark Twain used both of its promising young quarterbacks, Anthony Soto and Steve Watson, it was not enough to beat this very tough Lindbergh Team. • February 23, 1995 - Compton- Roosevelt "B" vs Wilson Less than thirty (30) seconds into the game Chris Johnson ran for a sixty (60) yard touchdown for the Compton - Roosevelt "B" team. Although that was impressive, Wilson quickly came back during their second play with a long touchdown run by David Harlston. Both teams played hard to score points.

Then, with ten (10) seconds left in the second -half, Lincoln regained its vigor with Victor Gonzalez scoring a Lincoln touchdown to,make the final score, Lindbergh 20, Lincoln 6. February 28, 1995 - Will Rogers vs Abbott Abbott, the only undefeated and united team in the league, coached by Davon Graham came out with a burst of energy scoring two (2) touchdowns by the end of the first -half. Touchdowns were made by John Richardson and Calvert Wright. Most of the second -half was a defensive struggle, with neither team gaining very much yardage. The pressure flared as each team anticipated a win, but once again Abbott prevailed with the score ending 20 to 0. Statistics 1.. Abbott 5 - 0 - 0 2. Lindbergh 3 - 0 - 1 3.
