ALEMANY FOOTBALL

Alemany receiver Steven Mitchell

A bit of sheen was rubbed off this intersectional meeting as both teams suffered road defeats last week. Alemeny (3-1) fell short against Corona Centennial, 36-32, and Los Angeles Dorsey (2-1) lost to Lancaster Paraclete, 26-24.

But that won't lessen the intensity of the Sept. 21 contest. The Dons not only beat the Warriors last year, they knocked quarterback Devon Dunn out of the game.

Although Dunn won't say anything about it publicly, neither he nor his Alemany teammates have forgotten. This rematch has given them a serious itch to scratch.

Dorsey may not equal offensive power of Alemany, but the Dons are always tough at home, and their team speed is comparable to the Warriors. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Rancho Cienega Park in Los Angeles.
