By Fred Altieri Sports Reporter There's a reason they call it football. With 6.9 seconds on the clock Carlos Barillas kicked the game winning field goal for Culver City High as they beat the Dorsey High Dons, 30-27, in dramatic fashion.

The Centaurs improved their perfect 2017 season record to 5-0 as quarterback Jonathan Martin threw three touchdowns to comp...

The trap was set at Torrance High's Zamperini Stadium last Friday against a very lethal Culver City High football team. The opening chess-like strategy worked for much of the first half as the Centaur high-octane offense was fundamentally kept off the field. But eventually talent, speed, coaching and execution won the nightas the Centaurs routed the Tartars in the second half for a 48-20 victory. "I'm always pleased when our team gets a victory," said Culver head coach Jahmal Wright. We knew...
The Offense Our football team has really put time and effort in the weight room and on the football field, and weve got huge goals for the 17 Season!! stated football head coach Jahmal Wright. Culver City goes into the football season as the top-ranked team in Division 11 in the Southern Section polls. That is a lofty ranking but probably well deserved. Two years ago the C.I.F. realigned the Divisions, and Culver City was amazingly put down to a lower Division. The reason why the Centaurs were...

Ever since former Culver City High football head coach and current athletic director Tom Salter took over the football program in 1999 the varsity players have periodically staged a varsity verses alumni "7 on 7" game around the July 4th holiday.

It is a great tradition and a way of honoring the alums and having a super competitive game verses the varsity squad. Since many of the alums that come back are...
