LSU-bound Hayden Rettig back on field 

Los Angeles Cathedral came away with a 29-20 win against Los Angeles Locke on Friday night, but that wasn’t the biggest victory for the Phantoms. That came in the form of four-star quarterback Hayden Rettig, one year removed from a torn ACL, setting himself on his repaired right knee and firing a 20-yard completion on his first attempt.

“It was awesome,” Rettig said. “I was kind of nervous, I guess. I haven’t been out there in a long time. … I got all the kinks and the spider webs out. We have a lot of work to do, but we looked good for the first game.”

There were more than a few drops from the Cathedral receivers, but Rettig completed 19-of-43 passes for 264 yards and four touchdowns against zero interceptions. He said the most important completion came on a touchdown strike to wide receiver Da’Mari Scott -- who caught three of Rettig’s scoring throws. Rettig said that was the throw in which he officially felt back to normal.
