Roosevelt Coach Javier Cid loves the smooth music of Santana.

One of the Rough Riders’ plays is called ‘Black Magic’ after Santana’s ‘Black Magic Woman.’ Cid called for it in the third quarter. The pass play, from Jesse Diaz to Manny Ayon, went for an 88-yard touchdown and helped Roosevelt score a 23-15 upset victory over Garfield in an Eastern League game at East Los Angeles College.

‘If it wasn’t my favorite Santana song before,’ Cid said, ‘it is now.’
