Culver City Observer -

The Culver City High football team has concluded its summer passing league tournaments, but preparation for the coming season continues.

The Centaurs won the consolation bracket championship in the Claremont Tournament last week with a 22-8 victory over Alhambra.

The Centaurs will play two more games, hosting Bishop Amat Thursday on Helm’s Field and traveling to Serra on Monday.

“I’m pleased with the progress we’ve made this summer,” said Coach Jahmal Wright.

Culver lost its opening game in the tournament to Bishop Amat, a perennial power that will be on the Centaurs’ schedule in the coming season. The score was 24-18.

Xan Cuevas was the Centaurs’ quarterback throughout the tournament. He threw three touchdown passes in this game, including a pair to Julius Wilson.

Culver then defeated Northwood of Irvine, 12-0 as Cuevas threw two more touchdown passes.

In the next game Culver defeated South Torrance, 22-2. One of Cuevas’ touchdown passes went to Wilson, another to Brandon Hasson and the third to Miriel Pafchel. The game’s other highlight for the Centaurs was the play of 5-foot-8 Siaee Shaw, who had two interceptions.

In the playoff round Culver began with a 12-8 victory over La Serna of Whittier. Then the Centaurs rolled past Ontario, 40-12 as Hasson caught two touchdown passes, senior Harrison Wette caught another and Shaw had an interception.

In the consolation championship win over Alhambra Wilson caught two touchdown passes from Cuevas and Mark Connely caught another.
