Los Angeles, CA –This past weekend, our team at West Coast Sports Media had the opportunity to cover the inagural Valley Classic, featuring both the boys’ and girls’ football teams from San Fernando and Sylmar high schools. Though this rivalry has gone on for decades, this year marked the first time that it was elevated to such a prestigious level – and the location played a big part in that. The historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum served as the venue for this year’s matchup.
Across the 3-game event, every player gave their all and truly embodied the spirit of the San Fernando Valley.
Please take the time to browse through our team’s photos from the event. (Links below team photo)
When sharing on social media, please be sure to credit each photographer accordingly.
Stay tuned for more coverage of all sports across the west coast from WCSM.
