East LA Classic

East LA Classic

The East LA Classic, or East Los Angeles Classic ('The Classic') is the homecoming football game for both James A. Garfield High School and Theodore Roosevelt High School. It is known as the East L.A. classic as the two mentioned high schools are the most prominent high schools in the East Los Angeles area. The classic has taken place since a few years after the opening of the schools, with the exception of a decade or two, due to the Great Depression and World War II. Wins and Losses have been exchanged between the two competing schools. However, Roosevelt holds a few more wins overall.
