Eric Elias out at Schurr? Exodus coming?
LS would win that game this year. Last year they blew it and should have won also.
CIF’s constant shuffling of divisional assignments will deny local fans of a St. Paul-La Serna rematch, something that would be really special. Much thanks to the federation for this non-event.
