The football teams of Warren and Downey high schools are set to take the field at SoFi Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and Chargers, on a Friday night under the brightest lights. This will mark the first-ever high school football game to be played at the new stadium in Inglewood. The victorious team will have the privilege of being invited back and recognized ahead of the college football L.A. Bowl on Dec. 16.
