Football: It’s a pregame skirmish between Hawkins and Los Angeles

There’s an intense rivalry between Hawkins and Los Angeles, and it was on full display while warming up for Saturday’s City Section Division II championship football game at El Camino College.

Coaches got into a shouting match. Then players joined in.

Both teams had to be separated. Commissioner John Aguirre held a meeting at midfield among administrators.

The two teams are from the Coliseum League and don’t like each other. Hawkins (12-0) was almost booted from the playoffs, surving a City Section and LAUSD investigation into alleged violations.

Now the game will begin soon.
