Head Coach Jahmal Wright is very excited about this year's Culver City High's defensive unit. The defense is lead by a plethora of fast, speedy athletes in the secondary, as well as some athletic newcomers on the defensive line. It seems like the linebackers will develop into a cohesive group blending returning players with some athletic newcomers. DEFENSIVE LINE: Jr. Justin Berry (6'2 215) will be a first time starter on defense but got honorable mention from the coaches as a sophomore OL. He...

After a rough opening game against West Torrance High he quickly put his stamp on the team as it averaged 40 points per game for...
By Fred Altieri Sports Reporter The slivery new moon in the cool November sky signaled an end to the 2015 Culver City High football season.

By Fred Altieri Sports Reporter What a difference a game makes, a team makes, an unexpected opportunity makes. The Culver City High football team is suddenly in the driver's seat to capture the 2015 Ocean League title following its 35-26 homecoming game victory over Hawthorne High. The Centaurs are also the beneficiaries of a just-announced league ruling concerning Lawndale High forfeiting two league victories this season, over Culver and Santa Monica, due to incomplete and erroneous information...
By Mitch Chortkoff Sports Editor The reason Culver City High is suddenly close to becoming the 2015 Ocean League football champion is that Lawndale High has forfeited four victories, including league wins over Culver City and Santa Monica. Coupled with Culver’s victory over Hawthorne last Friday the Centaurs prevail in tiebreakers. With a win over Beverly Hills this Friday Culver would become the champion and most likely would receive a first round playoff home game. The South Bay Daily B...
