La Cañada, CA — LA CAÑADA — Long Beach Poly did to St. Francis what it did to everyone in the CIF Southern Section Division 4 football playoffs.

Gardena, CA — Long Beach Poly’s football team showed signs of major growth on Friday night in a road game against Serra, but not quite enough. An improved offense and an opportunistic defense had the Jackrabbits in the lead for the majority of the game, but they came up a few plays short in a 27-24 loss.
