Edison football ready for challenge in CIF title game
LA TimesHigh school football can be a conduit for learning to deal with adversity. The Edison High football team has a challenge to deal with as it prepares to face Simi Valley in the CIF Southern Section Division 3 title game Friday at 7 p.m. at Huntington Beach High. The Chargers learned Tuesday morning that they’ll be without star senior running back Julius Gillick, who will be serving a one-game suspension after receiving two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in Friday’s semifinal win at Murrieta Valley. Of course, it’s the Edison offensive line that opens up the holes, and the Chargers have also shown success running sophomore Sam Edmisten in the postseason when emerging sophomore quarterback Sam Thomson isn’t throwing passes. It didn’t always go exactly how we wanted, but we’re here.” Edison sophomore running back Sam Edmisten, shown following lineman Tae Falelaulii against North Torrance, will likely have a bigger role Friday night.
