University Football to Pass in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills High School will host its annual seven-on-seven passing tournament Saturday and University is one of 16 teams in the one-day football competition.

Teams will be divided into four pools of four teams each. Pool play begins at 8:30 a.m. and the top two teams in each pool advance to the single-elimination playoff round in the afternoon.

Games are played on shortened fields with no pads and last 40 minutes.  

University is in Pool B with Dorsey, Santa Ynez and Lynwood. The Wildcats' first game is at 8:30 a.m. against Lynwood on Field 2. They follow with games against Dorsey at 9:10 a.m. on Field 2 and Santa Ynez at 10:40 a.m. on Field 4.

Pool A consists of Mira Costa, Atascadero, El Monte and Hawthorne; Pool C consists of Notre Dame, Cathedral, West Torrance and View Park; and Pool D consists of St. Bernard, Fremont, Selma (from Fresno County) and host Beverly Hills. 

Highland of Palmdale won last year's 19-team BHHS tournament, beating West Torrance in the championship game. 

The Wildcats are looking to rebuild after going 0-19 in two seasons under previous pilot Dennis Tolbert.
