| All-female Chain Gang at Tesoro High School |
Well, that happened at tonight's game between Compton and Tesoro in Las Flores.
To set the scene, I walked to the Compton side of the field so I could shoot highlights of the game with the home stands as the background. After the first series I looked at the "chain crew" and realized that all four members of the crew were female...that's right it was an all-female crew!
If you still don't believe me, the picture is the proof.
During a break in the action, I walked-up to them and told them that in all my days of watching and covering high school football or football at any level, I'd never witnessed this. They smiled and were excited to hear that I said I'd be back with High School Football America - SoCal reporter and executive producer Trish Hoffman to do a feature video story about them.
On the field itself, I was impressed with Tesoro, which enters the 2012 season ranked #11 in our preseason Big Schools Top 20. The Titans got out to a quick 14-0 first quarter lead behind quarterback Matt Adam and running back Nate Tago.
Compton closed to within 14-8 in the second quarter, but the Titans scored two touchdowns within 35 seconds and opened a 42-8 halftime lead. Tesoro finished things off with a 55-14 win.
With 17 starters back from last year's 8-5 team, the Titans are expected to make some noise in the solid top-to-bottom South Coast League.
I'll post highlights from this game tomorrow.
Meanwhile, below we'll post the final scores from throughout the area courtesy of our friends at the local media outlets, plus the wonderful World of Twitter.
