By Fred Altieri Sports Reporter The Centaur Football Express continued to gain steam after derailing the University High Wildcats, 59-0 at Jerry Chabola Stadium on the first night of Autumn 2017, September 22. Culver City High has opened the season with four wins for the first time since 2011, a start that propelled that team all the way to the CIF Championship game. The Centaur offense under senior quarterback Jonathan Martin swept through the Wildcat defense with dynamic aerial strikes along...
Sunday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers marked the return of a successful veteran NFL head coach to his hometown of Los Angeles and the return of more frustration for a rookie NFL Head Coach. Kansas City Head Coach Andy Reid returned to his hometown of L.A. to lead his Chiefs to a 24-10 win over the Chargers and Head Coach Anthony Lynn at the Stub Hub Center before 25,386 fans. The Chiefs improved to 3-0 and the Chargers fell to 0-3. Reid, who was born and raised in...
It's only three games into the 2017 NFL season but the Los Angeles Rams (2-1) are in sole possession of first place in the NFC West. After having outlasted the San Francisco 49ers, 41-39 in one of the most entertaining Thursday Night Football games in recent memory the Rams are finally a legitimate threat in their division for the first time in a very long time. The first three games on their schedule against the Colts, Redskins and 49ers was considered weak by most standards. This Sunday's game...
The most publicized new member of the Lakers is Lonzo Ball, a slick ball handler who was the second pick in the NBA draft. I think he’ll be a key member of the franchise that’s been in terrible shape for five years. But people close to the NBA for a lot of years, like me, are equally impressed with the addition of a big man who blocks shots, gets rebounds and doesn’t have to score to be happy.. Yes, I think the Lakers have been smart to sign 33-year-old 7-foot center Andrew Bogut this week....
Once a year famous chefs from all around the United States band together on the UCLA campus to have a big fair with lots of different foods from all different restaurants at the LA Loves Alex’s Lemonade event. But the goal isn’t money or fame - it’s to help a very worthy cause. Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation has been working all over the United States since 2005 to fund research to find a cure for childhood cancer. It all started when a very nice and determined girl named Alex Scott, who was only four years old at the time, held a lemonad...
I recently attended Politicon, the Comic Con of Politics, where politically conscious people convene to have educated conversations about politics. Politicon took place onthe 29th and 30th of July at the Pasadena Convention Center. This was its third time atthe Convention center and it was even more amazing than the previous years, with guests like Pod Save America, Jake Tapper and Chelsea Handler. There were amazing political debates between people like Cenk Uygur and Ben Shapiro, and between Ann Coulter and Ana Kasparian. With Sunday Night...
I enjoy reading my copy of Bloomberg Business Week but the March 27, 2017 – April 2, 2017 was just full of surprises. For example, the F.B.I. gave a guy that just agreed to be an informant several high-tech devices, a set of keys with a hidden recorder and realistic Starbucks gift cards that recorded audio. The bad guy working for the good guys sometimes wore a white dress shirt with a button that concealed a tiny camera. In the same magazine on page 72 was a lot about Wendy Williams, such as w...
Dear friends, My name is Ed Ryba and I thoroughly enjoyed reading your "Culver City Centennial Special Edition” from cover to cover! Although it contains quite a few typos every one of them is completely forgivable. Taking on a project like that had to be a daunting and ambitious piece of work and you did it beautifully! However, you did miss one important event in your “Culver City Timeline”. In the year 1955, I WAS BORN HERE! Unfortunately, I didn’t grow up in Culver City. My parents moved to California from Chicago in 1951. When they we...
The Culver City High's third straight win to open the 2017 football season began with swift combinations... until a rash of penalty calls in the second half brought the game to a grind. The Centaurs dismissed North High of Torrance, 42-7, completing a trifecta sweep against three Torrance high schools, including West and Torrance, to open the schedule. The visiting Centaurs took a 28-0 lead at halftime with an offensive unit that wasn't hitting on all cylinders. Regardless, quarterback Jonathan...

In a tough hard fought game the Miami Dolphins held on for a 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday at the StubHub Center in Carson before 25,381 fans. The game was the home opener for the Chargers as well as the season opener for the Dolphins, who had their season opener with Tampa Bay postponed due to Hurricane Irma. The Chargers had a chance to win in the last seconds of the game but a 44-yard field goal attempt by rookie kicker Younghoe Koo went wide right. The Dolphins produced...
One week after a storybook start to the 2017 season the Los Angeles Rams and their fans fell back to earth. The Washington Redskins outlasted the Rams, 27-20, before a half-filled L.A. Coliseum on September 10. Last year the dark clouds of doom never parted once they infiltrated the team. This season, the sense of resolve and hope is a marked contrast. The Rams had multiple chances to take the lead after falling behind 13-0 before tying the game at 20-20 early in the fourth quarter. Ultimately,...
