LA City Section Week 8 football picks: Franklin or Eagle Rock?

Scorebook Live California's Connor Morrissette takes a shot at predicting Week 8 high school football games in the LA City Section.

Scorebook Live California’s Connor Morrissette makes his LA City Section football picks every Thursday during the high school football season. He takes a shot at predicting Week 8 games below.

Franklin vs. Eagle Rock

Franklin dominating Fairfax 48-21 earlier in the year shows that the Panthers can not only hang with, but beat good Division 1 teams. Alfred Bobadilla and Franklin will put up points on Friday, can Eagle Rock match?

The pick: Franklin

Carson vs. Banning

Carson QB Ui Ale is done for the year. Banning star running back Jakob Galloway will be a game time decision. It's a shame both teams aren't at full strength. In my eyes, this game hinges on Galloway's health.

The pick: Carson

Venice vs. Fairfax

Venice had a tough time protecting star quarterback Luca Diamont on Monday against Palisades. Fairfax is coming off of a big 21-17 win over Westchester. Jordan Reed rushed for 192 yards and a score in the victory. He'll have another big game Friday.

The pick: Fairfax

Cleveland vs. Granada Hills

Both teams are well rested after not playing last week due to poor air quality in the area. That will allow for Cleveland to get a few of Kariem Muhammad's blockers healthy.

The pick: Cleveland

Crenshaw vs. Locke

Locke picked up a big 27-0 win over Dorsey last week, but Crenshaw has outscored their first two Coliseum League opponents 143-6.

The pick: Crenshaw

Overall record: 42-15
