In sports, rivalries can be the most anticipated games of the season for the fans and most importantly the players and coaching staff.
The Lakers have the Celtics, USC has UCLA and the most visible rivalry in the South Coast Conference is between Cerritos College and Long Beach City College.
Over the years, the rivalry has kept its flair throughout many coaching changes and players going through the programs, but the bragging rights won in these rivalry games stayed.
Someone who has been on each side of this rivalry is head Football Coach Frank Mazzota.

Mazzota was an All-American for Long Beach City College and in January of 1978 he became head coach of the Cerritos College football team.
