By Melanie Trup Special to the Observer How good is Culver City High’s football team this year? If their performance in Saturday’s passing tournament at West LA College was any indication, the Centaur faithful have a lot to look forward to. The Centaurs were led in the field of six teams (Washington Prep, Fairfax, Cabrillo of Long Beach, the host Wildcats- who fielded a team of their incoming freshmen, and University) by quarterback Lukas O’Connor, who recently played an important role on the baseball team that advanced to the CIF semi final...

The loss was a close call for Culver City, which won two playoff games in Orange County and was p...

The roller coaster ride that has been the Culver City High football team’s 2010 season is on the rise. The Centaurs, who have been up and down all season, hit a high point last Friday when they defeated Beverly Hills 49-34 in their regular-season finale to clinch a CIF playoff spot. It was a game they had to win to make the postseason, and Culver City came up with one of its best offensive performances of the season when it needed it most. Culver City’s defense also came up big, as the Centaurs built a 36-7 lead and held off a rally by Bev...
