The Clippers and Lakers held their annual Media Days last Monday and at first glance the Clippers look like they are the better team because they have a deeper, more proven roster. The Lakers still have the Big Three, but can they stay healthy, and like a friend of mine said, “Can someone coach Russell Westbrook.” Staying healthy applies to every team sport but right now we a talking about the NBA. They have the smallest team rosters in professional sports so when an injury occurs, it’s magni...

Back in the early 1960's the Dodgers were winning games by the score of 2-0 and 2-1 but there was still excitement at Dodger Stadium that's because Maury Wills was on base getting ready to steal. At the time Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale were two of the best pitchers Los Angeles had ever seen but Wills was the star of the show. Wills died last Monday at his home in Arizona at the age of 89. He was a three-time World Series Champion, and he stole a record 104 bases in 1962 on his way to being...
Some roads are smooth, and some roads are bumpy and last Friday night in Downey the Culver City football team hit a bump on the road when they were beaten by a very good Warren high school team 54-20. Now the Centaurs will face another solid team when they travel to Whittier to play La Serna on Friday at 7 p.m. The Centaurs will go into the game with a 2-2 record, and they will battle a 4-1 La Serna team.

So far this football season Culver City's defense coached by defensive coordinator Derrick Huezo has proven to be a bright spot for on a team that has several bright spots. Everyone wants to talk about the Centaurs high powered offense but it's the defense that has come up with big plays. Last Friday night in the high desert against Palmdale they came up with five turnovers. "I am proud of the defense," said Culver City head varsity football coach Jahmal Wright. "I was very pleased the way they...
The good news is it's cooling down in Palmdale, California but the bad news is it will still be 85 to 90 degrees at 7 p.m. on Friday when Culver City and Palmdale kick off to start their game between two 1-1 teams. For the first time in school history the two teams will face off on the football field. Both teams won their first game of the season a few weeks ago and both teams were beaten last Friday night. The Centaurs fell to Loyola 24-19 and Palmdale lost to Oak Hills 55-14. That's where the...

Both teams have very good defenses...
The USC Trojans and the UCLA Bruins won their home openers last Saturday and both teams are looking forward to being 2-0 at the end of the day on Saturday. Both teams displayed high powered offenses and solid defenses against teams that were not on their level.

If the first game of the season is any indication the young and inexperience Culver City football may surprise a lot of people. Their 35-13 win over West Torrance last Friday at Culver City showed that the Centaurs might be ready to battle a school like Loyola that has a long history of athletic excellence. Loyola, the All-Boys school near downtown Los Angeles lost their first game of the season at home 34-7 to Damien so they will be looking to redeem themselves. The Centaurs will face the Cubs...
Taken from the words of the late great Dodger broadcaster, Vin Scully, it's time for Culver City football. The young and inexperienced Centaurus will open the 2022 season at home on Friday against longtime foe, West Torrance at 7 p.m. inside the Jerry Chabola Stadium. For the first time in many years the Centaurs will rely on a lot of unproven talent, but head coach Jahmal Wright and his staff are ready for the challenge. "We are excited," said Wright after practice last Monday. "We are just loo...
The Sparks season turned into a perfect storm or should we say a destructive tornado and kept getting worse every week. During media day in May the team looked like they were ready to contend for a championship. Everyone in the building was upbeat and they had talent. After that general manager/coach, Derek Fisher made some questionable roster moves when he cut some promising young players. As the season went on injuries and strange coaching decisions lead to the firing of Fisher when they had...
Preseason games are a time to evaluate talent that you have faith in. They would not be in training camp if the team did not believe they could get the job done. That's what making cuts to trim the roster so hard. Everyone at this level of professional football is a good football player but one or two plays in a preseason game may determine whether they will make the final cut. The Rams play the Houston Texans on Friday at 7 p.m. at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood in their second preseason game. Last...
Two of the biggest sports legends passed away this week, first basketball great Bill Russell and on Tuesday the Dodger family lost Vin Scully. Both icons lived long and extraordinary lives. Russell died at the age of 89 and Scully at 94. A lot of people say that Russell was the greatest basketball player of all time, not Michael Jordan and not LeBron James but my wife, Linda told me they were all the greatest of their time. I have to agreed with her. Russell won 11 NBA titles in 13 years but...

For the first time in almost three decades the Culver City baseball program will have a new head coach. Culver City stayed in house and hire one of their own. Devaughn Wallace was named the head coach a few weeks ago after long time head coach Rick Prieto decided to retire. Wallace attended elementary school, middle school and high school in Culver City. For four years he played baseball and football at the high school, and he became a football star playing the old fashion fullback position but...
The 2022 Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA are starting to look a lot like the 2021 Sparks.

His first game as the head coach the Sparks were beaten badly by the best team in the league, the Las Vegas Aces at the Crypto.com...
