LOS ANGELES — The 87th edition of the East LA Classic between Garfield and Roosevelt will take place on Friday night at the LA Coliseum.
At the annual East LA Classic press conference, players, administrators and members of the Black Eyed Peas spoke on Wednesday at the Coliseum Peristyle. The Black Eyed Peas will be performing during halftime of the game.
“This game brings together two communities that share identical identities," Roosevelt's senior captain Alexander Arroyo said. "We are both from hard working families. We are both communities that respect tradition. The only thing that separates us is the blue and gold.”
“Every kid in both communities dreams big about playing in this game," Garfield's senior captain Jayden Barnes added.
