  • Rams face the Colts after tough loss to Cincinnati

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Oct 5, 2023

    “This is a very humbling league and every week takes great focus and concentration to come away with a win.” In 2017, Sean McVay uttered these words more than once during his rookie season as head coach of the Los Angeles Rams. And they still ring true in 2023. Seven years later his team suffered a 19-16 loss to the slow-starting Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football at Paycor Stadium, who were sporting their white tiger-striped helmets for only the third time. The Rams (1-2) have now lost...

  • A team without a pool continues to produce the last 35 years

    Steve Finley, Sports Editor|Oct 5, 2023

    It's a well-documented fact that the Culver City high school boy's and girl's aquatics programs produce successful swimming and water polo teams without a pool on campus. They use the Vets Park public pool located off campus on Overland Ave. Despite not having their own pool it has not stopped the father and son coaching combination of the Dordoni family. Nestor Jr. has been the head coach for the last five years and his father Nestor Sr. is his assistant coach. Nestor Jr. has been coaching...

  • Rams face Bengals on Monday Night Football

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Oct 5, 2023

Los Angeles lost its ninth consecutive regular season game to the Niners, 30-23, before 74,742 fans at SoFi Stadium, seemingly half dressed in red 49er gear.

    Josh Finley, Sports Reporter|Oct 5, 2023

  • Centaurs win thriller against Mira Costa, battle Redondo Friday night

    Steve Finley, Sports Editor|Oct 5, 2023

    The ball was suspended in time. The boisterous crowd fell quiet. Mira Costa's last second field goal was short and that's when the players, coaches and the crowd went wild. It was Friday night lights at its best. At least for Culver City. The final score read, Culver City Centaurs 14, the Mira Costa Mustangs 13, at Culver City last Friday night in a Bay league opening game for both teams. It was a perfect ending to a homecoming night. "Tonight reminded me of the 1999 game against Mira Costa at...

    Steve Finley, Sports Editor|Sep 28, 2023

Since then, the Dodgers have indicated that he is no longer a member of the team. Even after the Bauer incident last year and now Urias, the Dodgers have continued to stay in...

  • Centaurs lose to Warren, face the Dorsey Dons on Friday night

    Steve Finley, Sports Editor|Sep 14, 2023

    Friday night lights are still shining but after Culver City's loss to the Warren Bears last Friday at home the lights got a little dimmer for the home town Centaurs. The 42-36 loss to Warren was a classic shootout by two high powered offenses. Next up for the Centaurs is the Dorsey Dons this Friday night at home. Kick off is set for 7 p.m. Although Dorsey is 0-4 and Culver City is 2-2 the game is still played on the football field. "Dorsey is a young team," said Culver City head football coach...

Suddenly, the clock seemed to wind back to the 2021 season when the leadership of quarterback Matthew Stafford and defensive tackle Aaron Donald paved the way for the franchise's first title in Los Angeles. Preparing for only NFL Week #2, yet the win couldn't have come at a better time as arch-nemesis San...
