Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has been named the ‘honorary coin toss captain’ for Friday’s East Los Angeles Classic between Roosevelt and Garfield. Villaraigosa graduated from Roosevelt and attended East Los Angeles College.

Hmm... I wonder if this recent development improves the Rough Riders’ chances.
