Note #1 From The Editor:  To All of our loyal Fans and Followers here at EastLASportsScene.Com  we welcome you  back to another exciting football season. It’s finally here and we hope the “Best”  for your favorite team this year. We plan to change things up just a bit so we can offer more coverage in one posting to our fan-base.

Our commitment is to bring you a comprehensive, weekly snapshot of what’s going with our nine  local high schools, East L.A. College, plus players on D-1/D-2/D-3  college rosters and on designated NFL  teams. We will do so in our customary format by bringing you brief recaps, round-ups, and write-ups, highlighting our “Names in the Games”  and always offering great and captivating photo galleries. Rico Cabrera, Sr./EastLASportsScene.Com

Note #2 From The Editor: We’ve added the Bishop Amat “Lancers”  to our list of schools this year.

Houston Texans,  2nd year player, Anthony Denham  (Wilson HS/East L.A. College/Utah) was shaken up during a big 3rd quarter drive of their third 2015 pre-season game vs. the New Orleans Saints. After a key reception for important yardage, he was hit hard by Pierre Warren,  Denham came off the field under his own power and was examined by the team medical staff to determine the extent of his injury. Keep Anthony in your thoughts and prayers as this is the week that NFL teams must make two important player cuts. The first was today, as the roster came down to 75. On Saturday, Sept. 5th, all teams must name their 53 man rosters.

East L.A. Bulldogs “Pee Wees”   played the  Glendale “Bears”  and the “Gremlins”  played the Pico Rivera “Dons.”   Both  Bulldogs’ teams were credited with a “Win”  due to more total yardage gained in passing and running than their opponent.
