Culver City Observer -

Moving from the Ocean League to the more competitive Bay League has been a challenge for some of the athletic teams this year. Football, boys' basketball, boys and girls track and field and softball have proved to be some of the top teams in the league but other teams have struggled.

The football team finished their season several weeks ago with a 4-1 overall record and a 4-0 league record which was good enough for first place. The boys' basketball team currently has a 7-3 overall record and a 6-1 first place league record and the girls' softball team is 9-4 overall and 2-2 in league play which is good enough for third place. The girls track and field team is 3-0 and the boys are 2-1.

The teams that are trying to stay even and the teams that have fallen below .500 in the Bay League play are baseball, boys' soccer, girls' soccer and girls' basketball.

The two teams that stayed in the Ocean league, boys' and girls' lacrosse have been very successful in league play. The boys' team is 12-2 overall and are in first place in league play with a record of 5-0. The girls' team is 6-5 overall with a second-place league record of 4-1.

The boys' basketball team will travel to Peninsula for a 7 p.m. game on Friday. On Saturday they stay on the road for a game against Crossroads at 6 p.m., Monday they host Palos Verdes at 7 p.m. and Wednesday they travel to Santa Monica for a 7 p.m. game.
