Joe Dominguez, football coach at Wilmington Banning High, said Wednesday that his team will not show up for its Nov. 1 game against Dorsey at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
Dominguez said he is concerned about the safety of his players and wants the district to move the game to a neutral site.
Los Angeles Unified School District officials met with administrators and coaches from both schools Tuesday and changed game time from 8 p.m. to 2:15 p.m.
But Dominguez is not satisfied.
"The issue is not the time of the game, it's the site of the game," he said.
Dominguez made his remarks in response to a shooting that injured two students attending the Dorsey-Crenshaw game Oct. 4 at Jackie Robinson Stadium. Dominguez said he also is concerned about retaliation for an incident that occurred at the end of Banning's 21-20 playoff victory over Dorsey last year in which Dorsey players and fans rushed across the field and confronted Banning players and fans.
