    Steve Finley, Sports Editor|Oct 17, 2024

    When the CIF Southern Section office reconfigured the football leagues in the South Bay and the Westside Culver City high school knew right away, they were put in one of the toughest leagues in the CIF Southern Section. The reality is 7-0 Inglewood, 6-1 Culver City, 5-2 Leuzinger, 5-2 Mira Costa and 3-4 Palos Verdes are all very good football teams that can win games on any given Friday night. "We already knew before the season started how tough the league would be," said Culver City head boys...

  • Rams to use bye week to recover and bounce back

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Oct 10, 2024

    Bye Week couldn't have come at a better time for the 2024 Los Angeles Rams. Usually, it's preferable to have the break towards the latter part of the season schedule. But this season the team has only one win in five games, the worst start since Sean McVay became head coach in 2017. "This one hurts because there were a lot of opportunities that we had," said McVay following a 24-19 loss in Week 5 to the visiting Green Bay Packers at SoFi Stadium last Sunday. "What we have to do is use this bye...

The race now becomes...

  • Sparks' leadership strategy needs a referendum with Curt Miller's departure

    Eric Lambkins II, Sports Reporter|Oct 10, 2024

    This decade, the Los Angeles Sparks have have seen an exodus of marquee players leave the franchise, and that's Curt Miller's fault. They're the only professional franchise in the city without a training facility, and that's Curt Miller's fault. Sparks' ownership has largely fallen asleep at the wheel, and that's Curt Miller's fault. It's low-hanging fruit to pluck in blaming Miller for the current state of the Los Angeles Sparks. He was the latest head coach in a growing string of failed coaches, tasked with navigating the team through the tum...

  • Old foes Centaurs and Mustangs clash in Bay League battle Friday

    Steve Finley, Sports Editor|Oct 10, 2024

    It will probably be cold and fogging in the South Bay on Friday night when Culver City high school's boys' varsity football team rolls into Manhattan Beach to play Mira Costa at 7 p.m. The Centaurs and the Mustangs have battled each other dating back to the 1990's and like most of the Bay league games the intensity level is very high.

  • UCLA football extends their losing streak as they travel to Penn State

    Bill Seals, Sports Reporter|Oct 3, 2024

    The 2024 season continues to be a struggle for the UCLA football team. The highly ranked Oregon Ducks football team came into the Rose Bowl on a mission, took a 25-point second quarter lead and never looked back as they easily defeated the Bruins, 34-13. The loss was the third consecutive for the Bruins, who have lost the last three games by a combined total score of 110-43. The latest loss drops the Bruins to 1-3 on the season and 0-2 in the Big Ten Conference, with a trip this Saturday,...

  • Centaur football kickers gear up for tough Bay League

    Steve Finley, Sports Editor|Oct 3, 2024

    Football kickers and football offensive linemen have a lot in common. As a kicker if you miss a point after a touchdown, have a punt go off the side of your foot, have a bad kickoff or if you miss a field goal, the big spotlight is on you. As a lineman if you miss a block or if you are called for a penalty it feels like the whole world is watching. Football is a team sport but both positions are magnified when you make a mistake. Kicking may be a little more difficult because it takes at least...

  • 2024 NFL Power Rankings – Week 5

    Bill Seals - Fred Altieri, Sports Reporters - PFWA Members|Oct 3, 2024

    1. Kansas City Chiefs (4-0): The Chiefs are 4-0 and quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been average this season and the Chiefs are still undefeated. That should scare everyone.

  • Rams Lose Third Consecutive Road Game

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Oct 3, 2024

    Road warriors no more. The Los Angeles Rams lost for the third time in four games to begin the 2024 season. Every single loss has been on the road. The latest, a game they gave away to the Bears, 24-18, at Soldier Field in Chicago, was primarily the result of not capitalizing in the Red Zone on their offensive drives in the first half. The Rams started with a very robust 7-1 road record when Sean McVay took over as head coach of the Rams in 2017. They improved to 28-13 (.682) as the visiting...

    Bill Seals, Sports Reporter|Oct 3, 2024

  • USC women's volleyball team is turning into a season of challenges and hope

    Amyn Bhai, Sports Reporter|Oct 3, 2024

    The USC Women's Volleyball team is navigating a season filled with promise and hurdles. With a current record of 9-3 and ranked No. 21 nationally, the Trojans are showing potential but are still working to find their best form. A significant highlight has been the transfer to USC by senior outside hitter Alley Batenhorst, who joined USC after graduating from Nebraska. In a much-anticipated match against her former team last Sunday, Batenhorst led USC with 13 kills, but the Trojans lost to the...

  • 11th-Ranked USC Football Heads to Minnesota After a 3-1 Start to the Season

    Amyn Bhai, Sports Reporter|Oct 3, 2024

    The USC Trojans enter the heart of their 2024 season with a 3-1 record and a No. 11 ranking, but important questions need to be answered about their performance, identity, and potential in the Big Ten. Notably, if only second-half scores were considered, USC would be undefeated, having outscored opponents in each of their first four games: 28-0 against Utah State, 17-10 against LSU, 21-13 against Michigan, and another 28-0 shutout against Wisconsin. This impressive ability to rally showcases...

    Mykell Mathieu, Sports Reporter|Oct 3, 2024

The father and son duo were the first two Laker players to take the court taking photos and being interviewed together. The 39-year-old Lebron James is now entering his 22nd year in the NBA, tying Hall of Famer Vince Carter for the most in NBA history. "So, I feel really good physically. Mentally, I feel really...

  • Can Ohtani lead the Dodgers deep into the playoffs

    Amyn Bhai, Sports Reporter|Oct 3, 2024

    Is Shohei Ohtani on track to become one of the greatest baseball players of all time? Let's put his accomplishments this year into perspective. In the history of baseball, only 32 players have hit 50 home runs or more in a season, and 215 players have stolen 50 bases or more in a season. Ohtani is one of only three players to achieve both feats and the only one to do so in the same year. The average number of stolen bases by players who hit 50 home runs in an MLB season is 7.4, while the...
