By Mitch Chortkoff Sports Editor Inglewood won the Ocean League football championship in 2010 and Santa Monica won it last season. Before that Culver City was the winner four times in five years.

I was impressed by the large turnout for UCLA’s victory over Utah Saturday, and also the way the Bruins conquered a tough opponent.

What could have been a blasé, cookie cutter film, steps out of the box thanks to solid performances by Jacob Wysocki, Matt O’Leary and veteran Billy Campbell and by placing the film’s principal teens, Troy and Marcus [Cu...
