I had a quick pregame chat with Westlake Coach Tom Donohue and he said he felt a little lucky playing El Segundo in tonight’s Division I-AA wild-card matchup. He cited Agoura, which coin flipped its way to an automatic playoff berth, having a tougher postseason road than his boys since the Chargers have to play Loyola on Friday.

However, I’m sure Donohue was eating those words by halftime.

Behind an 18-point scoring barrage by El Segundo’s Kevin Ryan, the Eagles lead, 33-28, at halftime here in the black hole of communication. If my wireless connection stays good, I’ll give you more updates.
