Rod Petkovic is entering his 37th year as head coach of the Millikan boys’ soccer program. He’s the coach who founded the team, and has guided them to one of the best runs of any program in league history, including 10 of the last 11 Moore League championships. In other words, Petkovic has heard it […]
Long Beach Poly coach Eric Leon has slowly built the Jackrabbits into a contender. His first season at Poly saw the boys’ soccer team go 4-10-4, a mark that improved to 14-8-2 last season. Still, the Jackrabbits found themselves on the outside looking in for the league championship hunt, finishing in fifth place and having […]
St. Anthony has been hiring coaches that the school feels can take their sports programs over the top, and they may have found their man on the pitch in new boys’ soccer coach Matt Dold, who inherits last year’s 10-11-1 team, which did win a Santa Fe League title. Dold is a well-connected local coach […]
Four of the eight Long Beach and Moore League girls’ basketball teams were ranked in the first CIF-SS poll that came out this year, a signal that a special season is on the horizon, with several teams in the running for a CIF championship this season and a ton of young talent. We’ve got previews […]
If you believe the rankings, this isn’t Long Beach Poly’s year. The Jackrabbits aren’t in the national polls, and they’re No. 11 in the first CIF-SS rankings of the year. Jackrabbits head coach Carl Buggs isn’t that worried about it. That’s in large part because he remembers what it was like when he and his […]
The Saints are off to a great start under first-year coach Ray Bennett, and they’ll need to have a good season to compete at the Division 1 level. Not only is St. Anthony in the top CIF-SS bracket, they’re also in the newly-formed Del Rey League with Bishop Montgomery, perhaps California’s best team. “I feel […]
Head coach Michael Anderson’s Vikings team is off to a 3-4 start this season, including the first 0-2 start in Anderson’s successful nine-year tenure. “We’ve got six freshmen and they had to get their feet wet,” said Anderson. “It’s a long season.” Since that start, LBCC has shown their potential by going 3-1 in their […]
It’s a new season for the Rams, who are led by longtime coach Lorene Morgan, the school’s all-time basketball wins leader. Millikan is in Division 2, where they’re ranked No. 12. The season isn’t the only ‘new’ thing at Millikan, where the Rams also feature perhaps the youngest roster Morgan has ever had. “It’s a […]
The Lancers return all five starters from last year’s team, which finished third in the Moore League, and coach Eric Oswell is hoping for an even better finish this season. Those hopes ride at least in part on the shoulders of Asia Jordan, the Lancers’ best player. Through four games this season (2-2), Jordan is […]
Wilson coach Erin Carey’s squad started the season ranked No. 13 in Division 3AA, with high hopes. “I have big goals for my team this season and I think my girls are ready,” said Carey. Unfortunately for the young, talented Bruins, they’ve been bit by the injury bug. Point guard Ashley Hawkins is out for […]
