Problem is, there are few teams for comparison. Harvard-Westlake is the only local team competing at the varsity level. Local competition is not needed, though, to measure Harvard-Westlake's success. The Wolverines, who are in their fifth season of varsity play, won their first Southern Section title last year and are aiming for a return to the title game next month despite having graduated eight seniors. Harvard-Westlake is 8-1-1 playing primarily teams from Orange County. Senior center midfielder Sandhya Dhir anchors the Wolverines' lineup.

Goalkeeper Madaline Jacobs is another likely candidate to play in college. The junior, who has six shutouts this season, was one of only two players from California invited to train in the national futures program this past summer. Among the other key veterans is senior defender Joanna Davis. Harvard-Westlake has sent six players to the college level. The Wolverines believe an equally important accomplishment is the interest in the sport the team has helped spark. Chaminade of West Hills is fielding a frosh/soph team this year and other Valley and Westside schools are considering adding programs next year, providing hope of having more than just two leagues in the Southern Section. Harvard-Westlake's program began at the middle school level, playing in a 16-and-under league at Moorpark College Moorpark College is a California-state funded community college located on a 134 acre (542,000 m²) property reclining on a hill in Moorpark, a town in Ventura County, California. , a site that still serves as the home field for some of the Wolverines' games. When the players got older, the high school team was started and it didn't take long to succeed, qualifying for playoffs in three of its first four varsity seasons. ``Each year we've improved,'' said Harvard-Westlake coach Gino Grajeda, who has seen interest grow so much that he has more players in his program than any other fall girls' sport at the school. ``Last year our goal was to make the final, so we actually exceeded our goal by winning it all. We hope to be back this year. ... They're doing well so far.'' The Wolverines host Glendora on Friday. ... Glendale College football players Justin Smith Justin Smith is the name of:

Kennedy has lost 15 consecutive games and Granada Hills (3-1), despite its loss to Venice last week, has emerged as one of the top teams in the City Section. But history suggests stranger things have happened in City play: ``There have been some giant upsets in local prep football action over the years, but none may have been more shocking than Cleveland High School's 30-29 victory over visiting Carson Friday night. Cleveland had entered the game with an 0-3 record after losses to Chatsworth, Canoga Park and Manual Arts. Carson was 3-0 and ranked No. 3 nation-wide in one poll. So what did Cavaliers co-coach Ray Todd think about his team's chances? ``We figured if Syracuse could beat Nebraska and we could beat Carson,'' he said. ``The Cavaliers opened an 18-0 advantage at one point in the third quarter before Carson scored 29 consecutive point to take the lead. Cleveland scored two touchdowns in the final six minutes of play to pull out the victory. Running back Brian Goodman contributed the decisive TD with 14 seconds left on a 1-yard plunge. It was Goodman's third (touchdown) of the game. Troy Allen also had two touchdowns for Cleveland. ``It was bedlam,'' Todd said of the scene after time had expired.
