<p>For San Pedro High flag football however, they didn't waste time in its inaugural season.</p>
<p>Not wanting to settle for just being one of the 54 CIF-Los Angeles City Section schools to take in this brand-new environment, San Pedro immediately looked to hire a man well versed in coaching the sport, and the school didn't have to look far for their man to steer the ship.</p>
<p>Enter Victor Tuberosi, a lifelong San Pedro resident who coached the Harry Bridges boys flag football team to the LA FIYA championship, the Mary Star Middle School boys flag football team to the Final Four of the Catholic Youth Organization tournament, and the Mary Star Middle School boys basketball team to the Finals of the CYO, also coaching numerous San Pedro youth teams to City champions.</p>
<p>If that name still doesn't ring a bell, not too long ago, Tuberosi coached the Mary Star Of The Sea High girls basketball team to the 2021 CIF-Southern Section Division 4-AA championship and was named CIF-SS Coach Of The Year twice in 2019 & 2021 with a 155-99 record and three Santa Fe League titles during his ten-year tenure from 2013-2023.</p>
<p>Hiring Tuberosi was just the first chapter of the incredible first-year story for this program that featured 24 girls and the added guidance from assistant coaches Chris Amalfitano and Nick Fiamengo.</p>
<p>San Pedro (24-4 overall) was blessed to have sensational athletes from several different sports, none more familiar on campus than girls basketball senior Noelani Raigans, who along with fellow flag football teammates in seniors Shalia Coleman, Maddison Joseph-Cooper and Taylor Blair, plus sophomores Naomi Eneliko, Madison Adrid & Jayda Sanford, helped lead the Lady Pirate hoopsters to the 2023 CIF-LACS Division 2 title.</p>
<p>Tuberosi then was able to bring in athletes who excelled in even more sports, like the soccer quartet of senior Nicole Castaneda alongside juniors Logan Bader, Stella Malone and Giuliana Sutrin, plus the sophomore softball tag team of pitcher Jenna Ortega, now a quarterback, and fellow sophomore outfielder Dahlia Davila.</p>
<p>Year one officially begun with a highly respectable 6-0 loss at CIF-SS power Redondo Union of Redondo Beach on September 6, 2023, but then confidence stemming from that outcome skyrocketed to the top three days later when San Pedro gained their first two victories of the year with a 38-14 rout of host Santee of Los Angeles, followed by a 45-0 shutout of Lincoln of Los Angeles in their first doubleheader.</p>
<p>From there, San Pedro immediately took control in the Marine League, winning all twelve encounters by decisive margins against Narbonne of Harbor City, University of Los Angeles, Fairfax of Los Angeles, Los Angeles CES, Westchester and Hamilton of Los Angeles, pitching eight shutouts along the way.</p>
<p>San Pedro made even more history by winning the first L.A. City Flag Football Classic Tournament at Narbonne, easily winning their pool by shutting out Montebello, Mira Costa of Manhattan Beach & Mendez of Los Angeles before avenging a September 15 loss to Eagle Rock with a 14-8 victory over the Eagles in the championship game itself on September 25.</p>
<p>Also gaining some more ground in victories over CIF-SS South Bay schools like West Torrance and Palos Verdes, and also garnering an impressive 34-0 shutout win at Mayfair of Lakewood, it caught the eye of the CIF-LACS to the point that they awarded San Pedro the top seed of the inaugural CIF-LACS Open Division playoffs.</p>
<p>Thanks to the suffocating pressure-packed defense and fast-paced, no-huddle spread offense, San Pedro easily dispatched Los Angeles Leadership Academy, 48-0 in the first round, then shutting out rival Narbonne a third time, 28-0 in the quarterfinals, before hosting the biggest game of the year at Mike Walsh Pirate Stadium that even rivaled the Battle Of The Harbor whenever the Pirates take on Banning year after year.</p>
<p>Except this was a CIF-LACS Open Division semifinal against Eagle Rock, who also steamrolled their way to a rubber match with the Pirates with a championship berth at stake.</p>
<p>For the first and only time all season, San Pedro trailed at halftime in front of their home crowd down 13-6, but they weren't about to let their perfect home record slip away as Ortega threw a perfect bomb to Raigans for a touchdown to cut their deficit down to 13-12 following a failed two-point conversion. The Eagles quickly responded with a touchdown to go up 19-12, but their extra-point attempt was picked off by Raigans.</p>
<p>On San Pedro's final offensive drive, facing a fourth-and-16, Ortega connected with Coleman on a curl route pattern. Incredibly, Coleman shed off two would-be flag pull defenders in one fell swoop before coasting down the far sideline for a 55-yard touchdown, and following the two-point conversion catch by Raigans, San Pedro suddenly led by a single point with 1:04 to play.</p>
<p>Once again, it was Raigans in the middle of things when she left her designed defensive spot to run up and deflect the Eagles' last-ditch pass on fourth-and-10 to force the final turnover on downs with 27 seconds to play, securing the Pirates' 20-19 victory on November 15 to protect their home turf with a perfect home stretch.</p>
<p>Even the Pirates' bitter 14-6 loss in the Open Division championship game to Birmingham of Lake Balboa three days after that improbable come-from-behind victory isn't enough to diminish the remarkable first season produced by the Lady Pirates' flag football season. </p>
<p>Raigans, Coleman and Castaneda were all named to the inaugural All-CIF LACS Open Division team, while they along with Ortega were inaugural All-Marine League selections. However, nothing can be taken away from the incredible strides made by the likes of Adrid, Sutrin, Malone, Davila, Sanford (18 interceptions on defense) and freshman wide receiver Lexi Lopez. </p>
<p>With 2024 now on the horizon, how will San Pedro build from what 2023 brought to the table?</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Is it not yet painfully obvious that the so-called European Jewish community has profited off of the destruction of African American families all across the world?Are we really going to take the stance that conscious Hip Hop wouldn't have sold records? Whole fan bases have been ousted over the special interests of the Jewish community. Lyor Cohen, a so-called Jewish man who happens to be a record label executive, went on Breakfast Club radio station in New York and attributed the destructive nature of Hip Hop to his need to feed his own family. When bad things happen to black people, no one cares because it was more or less intended to happen. But, when the so-called Jewish community is threatened or under attack, tha whole world come to their aid? Who are these people exactly?</span></p>

<p><strong>Joan Marie Wainwright</strong> died peacefully on July 3, 2023, just after sunrise surrounded by her family. In the weeks prior to her death, she acknowledged that her only remaining ailment was old age, having battled chronic pain for most of her adult life. Her family and loved ones, including the attentive staff at Morningstar Boise, cared for her, hovered over her and paid their respects to a great woman.</p>
<p><br/> She was 93.</p>
<p><br/> Joan was born December 11, 1929, in San Pedro, California, to George L. Wallace and Bernice C. (Reilly) Wallace. George was in the merchant marine, having run away to sea at age fourteen, and Bernice having dropped out of UCLA (University of California Southern Campus at the time) to marry him.</p>
<p><br/> Joan Wallace was a typical Southern California girl – spending her summers at Cabrillo Beach<br/> with her girlfriends cultivating a tan. She attended Mary Star of the Sea Grammar School,<br/> developing rich friendships that lasted her lifetime. She went on to St. Anthony’s High School in<br/> Long Beach, where she served as student body vice-president, graduating with honors in 1947,<br/> before completing her education at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles.</p>
<p><br/> While in college, her father became a captain with the Pacific Far East Lines. He often invited his collegiate daughter to accompany him on board as his ship made its way north from Long<br/> Beach through the often rough seas to San Francisco. Joan would invite schoolmates along for<br/> the ride. Many relationships and marriages sprung from these passages as the clever and<br/> beautiful college girls found themselves shipmates with the dashing and exotic ship’s officers. In<br/> no time Captain Wallace’s Second Mate, Norman Wainwright, fell for the boss’s daughter, and<br/> she for him. Among other things, she said she was impressed by the way he kept his shoes<br/> polished. They were engaged shortly after in 1950. Any apprehension Joan might have had<br/> about marrying a sailor was overridden by love. In 1951, weeks after her graduation with a<br/> major in History, they wed in Los Angeles.</p>
<p><br/> After setting up housekeeping in Long Beach, Norman went back to sea, and Joan completed<br/> her teaching credential’s fifth-year course work while pregnant with their first child. When<br/> Elizabeth was born the following year, it was Joan’s grandmother who drove her to the hospital.<br/> That was Norman’s last trip to sea for a long time. Liz was followed in short order by Margaret<br/> and then David and then Robert five years later and Paula shortly after that. The family has<br/> many happy memories from their days living in San Pedro. There were beach and tide pool<br/> trips, Angels games and holiday gatherings with Joan’s cousins’ families. But in 1964 Norman<br/> became restless, having postponed a lifelong dream of piloting ships. The couple agreed he<br/> would abandon his successful career with Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company and return to<br/> sea. With her husband away, Joan proved herself a competent single mother, managing the<br/> household and family, dispensing love (either the outward type or the hard Irish version), and<br/> swift discipline when necessary. With Norman away at sea there was no “wait until your father<br/> comes home.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>In 1967 the family moved to Stockton, where Norman had an opportunity to pilot on the San<br/> Joaquin River. Joan packed up with a stiff upper lip (after all, Stockton was the ‘country’) and<br/> she carried on.</p>
<p><br/> In 1971 she began volunteering at St. Mary’s High School, then in 1972 accepted a position as<br/> educational coordinator in the school department of the Catholic Diocese of Stockton. In 1980<br/> Joan was asked to become Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese, upon acceptance she<br/> became the first laywoman school superintendent in the history of American Catholic Schools.<br/> With a steady hand, she led the diocesan transition from an education system that was led and<br/> staffed by clergy to one that by necessity was now led by dedicated lay men and women. She<br/> retired from the Chancery in 1992. Joan served with the Western Association of Schools and<br/> Colleges on their accreditation staff from 1986 until 1994, traveling to schools throughout the<br/> country and the Pacific Islands. She received many awards but found her greatest professional<br/> joy in processes and people. Joan Wainwright was a born administrator. The source of her<br/> power was silence, the first cousin to listening.</p>
<p><br/> Before his death in 1998, she and Norman traveled abroad extensively. They took particular<br/> delight in Northern Italy. There was a little Italophile in each of them. After Norman’s death,<br/> Joan moved to Boise in 2007 to be closer to her family.</p>
<p><br/> As the mother of teenagers and college kids living at home during the summers, Joan always<br/> waited up late until all her “chickens” were in the door, sometimes deep into the night. Curled<br/> up in a club chair she appeared to be reading, but she was brooding, nesting like all good<br/> mothers of all species do – accounting for her flock. She died knowing they were all safe and<br/> well.</p>
<p><br/> Joan was preceded in death by her husband Norman, daughter Paula, brothers Bobby and<br/> Steven, and her parents George and Bernice Wallace. She is survived by her four children, Liz<br/> Ierulli (Ken) of Portland, Oregon, Margaret Henbest (Mike), of Boise, Idaho, Dave (Sue) of<br/> Alameda, California and Rob (Caroline) of Novato, California, and her sister Carole Patridge of<br/> Portland. Nana was an active and loyal grandmother to Ryan Henbest (Lynne), Dr. Daniel<br/> Henbest (Melissa), Allison Hanna (Byron), John Wainwright, Kevin Henbest (Annie), Joe<br/> Wainwright, Matthew (Madeline) Wainwright, Andrew Wainwright and Brooke Wainwright.<br/> She was proud and joyful of their pursuits and adventures. She kept close track of great-grandchildren Lyric, Jude, Rhen, Inez, Beau, Hudson, Vera and Lochlin.<br/> A funeral mass will be held for Joan at St. Mark’s Catholic Church in Boise, Idaho on<br/> Wednesday, July 26 at 11:00 AM. Her burial and graveside ceremony will take place at San<br/> Gabriel Cemetery, San Gabriel, California, on September 15 at noon, with a reception luncheon<br/> to follow.</p>2022-2023 San Pedro Prep Sports Team Of The Yeartag:sanpedronewspilot.com,2023-07-17:6389356:BlogPost:1984152023-07-17T16:29:49.000ZJamaal Kellen Streethttp://sanpedronewspilot.com/profile/JamaalKellenStreet980

<p>While other programs like the football, girls volleyball, softball, both cross-country teams and several others at the school gained some credible success over the years, even their boys basketball counterparts also winning CIF-Los Angeles City Section titles in between, the 2022-2023 school year finally became the time for girls hoops on 15th and Alma Streets.</p>
<p>With a determined team led by a driven leader in head coach Kevin Simpson, the Lady Pirates were able to achieve indescribable, and undeniable success to turn the school, and their city upside down, along with everyone's heads and eyes to them in February.</p>
<p>Becoming CIF-LACS and Marine League champions for the first time in 37 years, then taking it three steps further to become the first team in school history to reach a CIF Southern California Regional championship game, the 2022-2023 San Pedro High girls basketball team made it a year impossible to forget.</p>
<p>However, it wasn't the auspicious kind of start this team was looking for, as San Pedro struggled out of the gate with five losses in their first six games. Things started to click for San Pedro once December started, and they split their four games in their inaugural Lady Pirate Holiday Classic to get San Pedro's overall record to 9-8.</p>
<p>January 11, 2023 started the proverbial chain reaction of victories, when the Lady Pirates for only the second time since 1991, defeated perennial CIF-LACS power Narbonne of Harbor City, 42-32 at home for their third straight Marine League win, and they never looked back, dominating the rest of the way to complete a perfect 10-0 league season.</p>
<p>The only real threat was the rematch with Narbonne on January 27, where two game-winning free throws by junior point guard Noelani Raigans propelled San Pedro to a 49-47 victory for their first victory over the Lady Gauchos in their home court in 32 years. From that point on, nothing seemed impossible for the Lady Pirates, as they earned the top seed of the CIF-LACS Division 2 playoffs.</p>
<p>In the first three rounds, San Pedro eliminated Roosevelt of Los Angeles, 70-46, held off league foe Carson, 69-62 (third win over Carson in 2022-2023), and then outlasted Bravo Medical Magnet, 50-39 to put San Pedro into the Division 2 final against Chatsworth Charter, a team looking to gain retribution from losing in this predicament one year ago to Verdugo Hills of Tujunga.</p>
<p>Putting on a defensive clinic, both the Lady Pirates and the Chancellors took turns putting up scoring runs each quarter, but with Chatsworth leading 43-38 in the closing minutes, Raigans provided the most important run of all, as her three-pointer followed by two free throws in the final minute to force overtime, and made the eventual game-winning basket with just over a minute to play in the extra frame, banking in a three-pointer for a 50-48 lead. Senior guard Jaliyah Robertson's layup increased the advantage to four, and the Lady Pirates did just enough to hold on and win 52-51 for the Division 2 championship.</p>
<p>Even though Raigans got perpetual praise from her own teammates at the award ceremony with a rousing 'MVP!' chant for scoring 13 of her game-high 18 points in the fourth quarter & overtime combined, the performances of fellow juniors Shalia Coleman (17 points) and Maia Wooldridge (8 points) before they both fouled out, could not be overlooked.</p>
<p>All three of these All-City Division 2 selections along with some other notable heroes on this special team kept the good times rolling as the second seed of the CIF Southern California Regional Division 5 playoffs.</p>
<p>San Pedro defeated three straight CIF-Southern Section schools on their home floor in Riverside Prep (56-41), Laguna Beach (62-43) and St. Monica Prep of Santa Monica (53-51) before finally falling in the Regional final, 51-43 to eventual CIF Division 5 state runner-up Marina of Huntington Beach, ending the Lady Pirates' incredible & in some cases, improbable 15-game winning streak.</p>
<p>Against St. Monica Prep on March 4, San Pedro trailed the entire first half and were in dire straits early in the third quarter until Simpson called upon freshman guard Madison Adrid, and she delivered with six points, none more important than her winning mid-range jumper with five seconds left. The basketball gods were smiling on the Lady Pirates as the Mariners' last-ditch attempt to steal the game rimmed out as time expired.</p>
<p>Raigans, the 2023 Marine League and CIF-LACS Divison 2 Player Of The Year, scored 10 of her game-high 20 points in the fourth quarter against St. Monica Prep and was awarded a Cal-Hi Sports All-State Division 5 selection as well. Coleman, Wooldridge, senior forward Aleisha Fizer and junior guard Natalia Garcia join Raigans on the 2023 All-Marine League team.</p>
<p>On a year where the San Pedro girls volleyball and boys swimming teams also won CIF championships along with Port Of Los Angeles High boys basketball also taking home a CIF title, San Pedro girls basketball is your undisputed San Pedro Prep Sports Team Of The Year.</p>

<p>Two minutes.</p>
<p>12 innings of sheer endurance, gutsy plays, clutch hits.</p>
<p>Two overturned calls.</p>
<p>One game-winning walk-off hit.</p>
<p>That's just yet another chapter in the book of what has been a two-decades long rivalry between San Pedro High and Carson softball on Tuesday at the San Pedro High John M. & Muriel Olguin Campus.</p>
<p>A Marine League game that had league title implications early ended on one swing of the bat by senior center fielder Sicily James who was 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and a sacrifice bunt... and she comes through on the first pitch she sees blasting a scorching drive to right-center field, plating sophomore left fielder Breya Ventura to cap off another vintage comeback in the annals of the annual battles between the Pirates and the Colts, this one ending in a come-from-behind 4-3 victory for San Pedro.</p>
<p>After scoring a pair of two-out runs on a double in the top of the twelfth inning, Carson (4-10) finally chased San Pedro senior starting pitcher Layla Jelenic from the game after she struck out 16 in a gutsy performance, scattering three runs on eight hits and ten walks, tossing an astonishing 227 pitches before exiting with the bases loaded. Junior pitcher Bella Miller promptly retired the Colts' next batter to prevent further damage.</p>
<p>And then... came the bottom of the twelfth inning. </p>
<p>Junior shortstop Madison Fao led off with a full count walk for San Pedro after being intentionally walked in the seventh and ninth innings, then after a throwing error from third triggered by a ground ball hit by junior first baseman Izzie Galan, Fao managed to score from first base, cutting the Pirates' deficit down to a single run. Two pitches later, sophomore left fielder Breya Ventura drives in Galan with a single to even the score at 3-3.</p>
<p>Sophomore catcher Bri Rodela's drag bunt single followed by a critical full count base on balls drawn by senior pinch-hitter Alicia Gonzalez loaded the bases for James, who wasted little time in putting a capper on what was a spectacular finish to a wild contest.</p>
<p>Pacing San Pedro (5-4 overall, 2-0 league) besides the heroics of both James and Jelenic, was sophomore shortstop Katie Borges who went 2-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored, an RBI-single that brought in Borges compliments of senior right fielder Izabella Chavez in the third inning for the game's first run, and sophomore catcher Bri Rodela who singled in her last two at-bats after going 0-for-4, also catching a runner stealing second base for the first out of the game.</p>
<p>Ventura also went 0-for-5 before her clutch RBI-hit in the bottom of the twelfth, plus Fao, Jelenic, Galan and senior third baseman Marissa Markel also added a hit each for San Pedro, who will next host Harbor Area neighbor Banning of Wilmington on Thursday in another league showdown.</p>ThaWilsonBlock Magazine Issue152tag:sanpedronewspilot.com,2023-03-29:6389356:BlogPost:1982062023-03-29T23:55:46.000ZMistah Wilsonhttp://sanpedronewspilot.com/profile/thawilsonblock

San Pedro Prep Softball style.</p>
<p>A wild intersectional hometown showdown ended with a St. Patrick's Day delight on a Friday afternoon for Mary Star Of The Sea High softball.</p>
<p>With two outs and two in scoring position in the bottom of the seventh with the game tied, Mary Star junior shortstop Janelle Vega blasted the first pitch from San Pedro freshman Jenna Ortega into center field, driving in freshman second baseman Mariah Candela for the 9-8 home victory.</p>
<p>This was a back-and-forth encounter that had a lot of twists, turns, and like the NCAA basketball tournaments, it was also a game of runs, especially in the fifth inning.</p>
<p>With San Pedro ahead, 3-2, the Pirates struck for three runs to push their lead up to 6-2, strengthened by a pair of RBI-singles by senior designated player Marissa Markel and senior left fielder Layla Jelenic, who stole second on a double steal that also saw sophomore Bri Rodela steal home uncontested, but the host Stars (5-3) were undaunted, and came into the bottom half of the inning ready to counterattack.</p>
<p>It all got started with an innocent ground-ball out by Vega, but once senior center fielder Tele Jennings drew a one-out walk, Mary Star was ready to unload, and San Pedro came stunningly unraveled. </p>
<p>Back-to-back hits by senior third baseman Destiny Contreras and junior 1B/P Mina Tala made it 6-4, with Tala's second RBI hit of the afternoon bringing home Jennings. San Pedro's first error of the inning plated Conteras, and then junior P/1B Jocelyn Mayorga blasted an opposite-field RBI-single to right for Tala to score. Suddenly, Mary Star was only down 6-5 but on the next pitch, Candela's grounder to third ate up San Pedro senior Bella Chavez, loading the bases.</p>
<p>Mayorga and junior left fielder Alaina Velardez then score off a wild throw from San Pedro junior shortstop Madison Fao towards first base on what should have been the final out of the inning, then two pitches later, Vega's first RBI-hit of the day plated Candela for an 8-6 Mary Star advantage.</p>
<p>True to form, San Pedro (3-4) kept battling, and once the seventh inning surfaced, they wasted little time in making their comeback bid.</p>
<p>Fao led off the inning being hit by an inside pitch from Tala, then Markel's booming double to right allowed Fao to score from first. Jelenic's one-out ground-ball out drove Markel in to even the score at 8-8 going into the bottom of the seventh inning.</p>
<p>Not easing up, Mayorga drilled a single on the first pitch before being forced out on a fielder's choice at second on Candela's grounder to Chavez. Then Candela advanced to third on Velardez's one-out single, followed by senior right fielder Lilly Vega striking out, but Rodela dropped Ortega's pitch recovering quickly to throw to first for the second out.</p>
<p>And then, it was Janelle Vega that got her shine on.</p>
<p>Jennings, bound for UC San Diego, went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI, scoring twice for Mary Star. Tala earned the win in relief of Mayorga, scattering three runs on five hits, striking out four. Contreras, Mayorga and Tala all had two hits each with Tala also delivering with 2 RBIs. Markel went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs for San Pedro, while Jelenic went 2-for-3 with 3 RBIs.</p>
<p>Fao, Chavez (2-for-4) and junior first baseman Addison Patapoff all belted doubles for the two-time defending Marine League champion Pirates, who got a solid four innings of work by junior pitcher Bella Miller, only allowing two runs on four hits with a pair of strikeouts.</p>San Pedro High Girls Basketball Is 2023 CIF-LACS D-2 Championstag:sanpedronewspilot.com,2023-02-25:6389356:BlogPost:1969282023-02-25T09:05:14.000ZJamaal Kellen Streethttp://sanpedronewspilot.com/profile/JamaalKellenStreet980

<p>Fast-forward to Friday, February 24, 2023, for the next date of glory for the Lady Pirates as they went overtime to defeat Chatsworth Charter, 52-51 in the CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division 2 championship game at Venice High to capture the program's fourth CIF girls basketball title, and first in nearly four decades.</p>
<p>With this win, the Lady Pirates (21-8 overall) capped off an incredible run as they have now won 12 straight games which included going unbeaten in the Marine League for their first league crown since... well, 1986.</p>
<p>Everything seemed to work against fourth-year head coach Kevin Simpson in the midway point of the fourth quarter, as two of his top scorers, both junior forwards in Shalia Coleman and Maia Wooldridge had to exit the game permanently with five personal fouls each, and his leading scorer, junior point guard Noelani Raigans was out of the game suffering from cramps.</p>
<p>With 49.9 seconds to play, Chatsworth senior guard Destiny Silva buried a corner three-pointer to beat the shot clock and put the second-seeded Chancellors (16-16) ahead, 43-38. The title was seemingly slipping away for top-seeded San Pedro... until Raigans happened.</p>
<p>On San Pedro's next possession, Chatsworth's full court press was broken with crisp passes, leading to Raigans drilling a desperation three from NBA range to cut San Pedro's deficit down to two. Then Raigans immediately stripped Silva from behind in the backcourt for a steal, narrowly missed a potential go-ahead corner three, then got it back after an offensive rebound from senior guard Jaliyah Robertson and got fouled with 23.8 seconds to play.</p>
<p>Although she struggled early on from the free-throw line, Raigans cool as a cucumber, easily hit both free throws to tie the score at 43.</p>
<p>Chatsworth senior guard Madison Guerrero missed the potential go-ahead midrange jumper, and San Pedro forced a jump ball situation with the arrow pointing in their favor giving them one last shot with 3.6 remaining. Raigans misfired a hurried shot from half court, and it was time... for overtime.</p>
<p>With the score tied again at 45, Guerrero hit a three from the left wing to give the Chancellors their final lead of the night with 2:07 to play in overtime before Raigans mustered every last bit of strength to will the Lady Pirates to victory,</p>
<p>First, Raigans scored on a driving backdoor cut layup to slice Chatsworth's lead to 48-47 with 1:51 left, then after the defense forced a turnover the next time down, San Pedro called on Raigans again...</p>
<p>Taking the inbounds pass in stride, the two-time All-City guard eluded a steal attempt then casually stepped up to the right wing and kissed her three-point attempt off the glass and through to put San Pedro ahead for good at 50-48 with 1:33 remaining in overtime, then just a minute later, Raigans kept the ball alive after a trapping steal by junior guard Natalia Garcia and then found Robertson for the layup and a 52-48 Lady Pirate edge.</p>
<p>After Guerrero made 1-of-3 free throws, Chatsworth got the ball back via a jump ball call, but Guerrero missed the potential tying three, with Raigans clearing the rebound and getting fouled with 7.7 seconds remaining. Raigans however, missed both free throws.</p>
<p>With 5.2 seconds left... Chatsworth had one final chance to send it to a second overtime, but freshman guard Victoria Menjivar shockingly passed up shooting the three, and even though senior center Emily Cuevas made the final shot of the game at the buzzer... it was only for two points, allowing San Pedro to exhale, survive, and celebrate a hard-earned CIF championship victory that could have gone either way.</p>
<p>Once the Lady Pirates got all their championship medals, the final player called to get her medal, fittingly enough, was Raigans, who finished with a game-high 18 points, six rebounds, six steals, two assists... and a well-deserved cascading and serenading of her teammates and San Pedro fans with the chant of "M.V.P!" for a good 20 seconds.</p>
<p>Despite fouling out, Coleman was also sensational for San Pedro with 17 points and three rebounds, scoring 9 of her points in the first half where San Pedro led, 21-14 at halftime, and had a lead as big as 30-16 in the third quarter before Chatsworth closed the quarter on a 13-0 run. Wooldridge finshed with 8 points, four steals and two rebounds for San Pedro, while Chatsworth was paced by Guerrero's 15 points and 11 points from senior center/forward Cyrielley Becerra-Rodriguez. Silva and Cuevas each scored 8 points for the Chancellors.</p>
<p>En route to the winning the Division 2 championship, San Pedro defeated Roosevelt of Los Angeles (70-48), Marine League rival Carson (69-62) and Bravo Medical Magnet (50-39) in the prior rounds before outlasting Chatsworth from the powerful West Valley League.</p>
<p>Senior forward Aleisha Fizer grabbed a team-high five rebounds for San Pedro, who will now await their spot in the CIF Southern California Regional playoffs as the pairings will be announced on Sunday.</p>POLAHS Boys Basketball Is 2023 CIF-LACS Division 5 Championstag:sanpedronewspilot.com,2023-02-24:6389356:BlogPost:1970212023-02-24T11:00:00.000ZJamaal Kellen Streethttp://sanpedronewspilot.com/profile/JamaalKellenStreet980

<p>That was how the 2022-2023 Port Of Los Angeles High boys basketball team turned their program around.</p>
<p>After losing all but one of their 14 games the previous year, which was the first after not playing a shortened 2021 season due to the coronavirus pandemic, these young but dangerous Polar Bears squad did an about face, and adopted a relentless, fast-paced style that worked out well for them. So well in fact, they made some big-time history on Thursday at Los Angeles Harbor College.</p>
<p>POLA shook off a slow first quarter start against New Designs Watts of Los Angeles, pulled away in the second quarter, then dominated the second half all the way to a 67-39 victory over the Knights in the CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division 5 championship game, giving the Polar Bears their first basketball title, and the tenth sports crown in school history.</p>
<p>It took a balanced effort for head coach G. Aaron Givens and company to turn back the challenge of the upset-minded, No.14-seeded Knights (10-7 overall), who built up quite the resume in knocking out the third-seed (Math & Science College Preparatory School) in the second round, and the second-seed (University Pathways Public Service Academy) in the semifinals just to make it to the title game itself in attempt to then eliminate the top-seeded Polar Bears (12-9).</p>
<p>Trailing 11-9 at the end of the first quarter, POLA's full court pressure defense began to wreck things up for New Designs Watts, as a 14-4 run spearheaded by five points apiece from junior guard Russell Carrera and sophomore guard/forward Nasir Patrick, propelled the Polar Bears to a 23-15 advantage at halftime.</p>
<p>Once the third quarter begun, the lead grew significantly when POLA's leading scorer, sophomore shooting guard Hudson Smith, finally erupted after being held scoreless in the first two quarters. It also helped when Carrera also got hot as he drilled a pair of three-pointers and scored 8 points in the quarter. Smith also buried a trifecta and scored his first six points of the contest.</p>
<p>Junior point guard Gared Almazan scored four of his 10 points in the period, which saw POLA leading 45-27 at the end of it.</p>
<p>The fourth quarter proved to be a mere formality as POLA once again outscored New Designs Watts 22-12 in the final frame (identical to the third quarter) to put the historic first hoops CIF championship at the San Pedro-based Charter high school on lockdown. Senior forward Manuel Chavez scored all six of his points in the quarter, while Smith scored eight more to finish with a team-high 14 points. Sophomore guard Ian Murakami hit the Polar Bears' last of six three-pointers on the night for the exclamation point.</p>
<p>Defensively, POLA forced 22 turnovers, while New Designs Watts imploded in the fourth quarter with three technical fouls.</p>
<p>Patrick was solid on both ends of the court for the Polar Bears, finishing with 12 points. Carreras finished with 13 points, and senior guard/forward Daniel Cervantes finished with 8 points as well. Sophomore Martavius Watson led New Designs Watts with 11 points, and senior Abraham Barcelo ended up with 8 points for the Knights.</p>
<p>This championship for POLA boys basketball makes them just the second male related sports champion in the history of the school, joining the 2014 CIF-LACS Division 3 champion baseball team. This is also the second straight sports championship for POLA that came one year after missing the playoffs, just like the previous champion, the 2019 CIF-LACS Division 4 champion girls volleyball team.</p>
<p>These Polar Bears won all four CIF-LACS Division 5 playoff games by at least eleven points as it defeated Alliance Marine-Innovation & Technology of Sun Valley (92-65), North Valley Military Institute of Sun Valley (74-44) and fifth-seeded Triumph Charter of Sylmar (56-45) before seizing the championship.</p>
<p>POLA will now await playoff pairings again, this time for the CIF Southern California Regional playoffs, which will all be announced on Sunday.</p>San Pedro High Girls Basketball Ends 37-Year League Title Waittag:sanpedronewspilot.com,2023-02-04:6389356:BlogPost:1972042023-02-04T20:42:54.000ZJamaal Kellen Streethttp://sanpedronewspilot.com/profile/JamaalKellenStreet980

<p>Who would have believed that this once down-trodden program who won only one game in the 2010-2011 season rise to the very top of the Marine League considering the previous decades-long dominance of CIF-Los Angeles City Section power Narbonne of Harbor City along with some league title success of their rival Carson?</p>
<p>Well, this 2022-2023 edition of Lady Pirates' hoops definitely believed, and they were determined to make it a reality.</p>
<p>This past Friday was the culmination of those beliefs emphatically sealed with a convincing 61-19 victory over visiting Gardena to not only capture the outright Marine League championship for the first time in 37 years, but to also finish an unbeaten, undeterred, and undisputed 10-0 run through the league for San Pedro and fourth-year girls basketball coach Kevin Simpson.</p>
<p>For the first quarter at least, Gardena made things a little interesting, taking an early 5-2 lead before San Pedro (17-8 overall) stormed back to take a 12-7 lead at quarter's end. Once the second quarter took off, San Pedro junior forward Shaila Coleman and sophomore forward Maia Wooldridge combined to take over.</p>
<p>Coleman and Wooldridge combined to score 17 points in a 21-2 surge by the Pirates to turn what was the makings of a potential close encounter, into a breakthrough rout on senior night, storming to a 33-9 halftime lead. The advantage grew even larger when San Pedro scored the first 10 points of the third quarter before the Panthers (5-14, 2-8) finally scored to end what was a 31-2 scoring burst.</p>
<p>Defensively, the Pirates were stingy and staunch, forcing a mind-blowing 32 turnovers with a combination of tough half-court pressure and a relentless full-court trap.</p>
<p>Despite some shortcomings from the free-throw line, San Pedro still had some balanced scoring paced by Coleman's game-high 24 points. Wooldridge produced 14 points and provided great interior defense blocking five shots. Two-time returning All-City junior guard Noelani Raigans was limited to nine points (she scored 28 in the first meeting against Gardena), but still played brilliantly with seven assists and four steals. Also providing great hustle was senior power forward Aleisha Fizer who scored 8 for the Lady Pirates.</p>
<p>CIF-LACS playoff pairings will be announced later today, and it seems like San Pedro could get a pretty favorable draw in Division 2, reaching the semifinals last season.</p>

<p>For the 18th consecutive season, San Pedro remains sitting on the league throne as they posted back-to-back season ending victories over Gardena, 4-0 this past Wednesday at Mike Walsh Pirate Stadium, followed by a 4-1 triumph at rival Narbonne of Harbor City on Friday. In all, the Pirates have been solid all year long, posting a 21-2 overall record going into the upcoming CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division 1 playoffs with the pairings coming up on Monday.</p>
<p>In Manuel Maciel's second year as coach, San Pedro captured their second straight Best In The West Tournament title in Montebello, while also reaching the finals of their own Lady Pirate Cup, with their only two losses coming to CIF-Southern Section powerhouses Cerritos and Wiseburn Da Vinci of El Segundo, both shutout setbacks.</p>
<p>Which means, if the Pirates' can't score, they can't win, which they have done 21 times this season.</p>
<p>So far, San Pedro's biggest wins that may benefit them down the road come playoff seeding time, have come against Granada Hills Charter and Birmingham of Lake Balboa from the West Valley League, while also defeating Eastern League champion Huntington Park, Western League runner-up Los Angeles CES, and Northern League runner-up Eagle Rock.</p>
<p>A bevy of scoring threats in San Pedro's arsenal will make them a tough out in the playoffs.</p>
<p>Freshman Leilani Phillips has been a surprise to some, but when you see her play, it won't be too much of a surprise to see that she leads San Pedro with 19 goals while also assisting on nine goals for others. Sophomore midfielder Mariyah Bumgarner, last year's Marine League Most Valuable Player, has been equally as dominant with 11 goals and six assists. Four-year senior Gracie Carrasco has provided stellar play with 10 goals and a team-leading 16 assists.</p>
<p>Another freshman, Molly Skolil (6 goals, 7 assists) has proven to be a long-ball threat on free kicks, evidenced by her two goals from over 20 yards away last Wednesday against Gardena.</p>
<p>San Pedro also received a big boost with the addition of three impact transfers from in-city neighbor Port Of Los Angeles, last year's CIF-LACS Division 3 runner-up.</p>
<p>Junior forward Bryanna Duarte has not lost a step from her 26-goal season last season for the Polar Bears, scoring 14 goals for San Pedro. Junior midfielder Naty Wehbe has scored five goals, while junior defender Kristin Walden has provided stellar defense alongside four-year senior captain Emily Robledo.</p>
<p>This team has also proven they can rise to the occasion whenever faced with adversity.</p>
<p>On the first week of school, the Pirates lost returning All-City senior midfielder Valerie Torres to a season-ending ACL tear and have battled when they lost both Phillps and Bumgarner for a while to lesser injuries. San Pedro rallied from a 2-0 deficit on the road in hostile territory before coming from behind to defeat Huntington Park on a last-minute game-winning goal from junior Nicole Castaneda (9 goals this season).</p>
<p>And not to be left out, is rising sophomore goalie Giuliana Sutrin, who has logged 1,605 minutes and made 54 saves, only allowing 17 goals to score against her. Sutrin has also shutout 13 Pirate opponents, eight of them in league play.</p>
<p>San Pedro is expected to receive a pretty high seed for the CIF-LACS Division 1 playoffs. </p>"Altar Ego" song by Glory Shalom | Rating & Review by Mistah Wilsontag:sanpedronewspilot.com,2023-01-30:6389356:BlogPost:1971092023-01-30T05:12:32.000ZMistah Wilsonhttp://sanpedronewspilot.com/profile/thawilsonblock

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I caught a straight up vibe with this song. The intro led me into euphoria leading up to tha chorus dropping. It's tha kind of song that makes you want to move even if you're not much of a dancer. The "breaking free" part of her lyrics is just so beautifully sung. Gotta love a singer who uses her voice to glorify God. Let's talk about tha power of her lyrics for a moment. It's empowering, to say tha least. "I won't be defined by mistakes from my past, ...by labels placed on me," those are words that virtually anyone can pull strength from. Not a bad song for tha intro and title song to tha EP. "I won't be slave to fear or negativity, ...or by my own insecurities." Glory demonstrates tha voice of an angel all throughout this song.</span></p>

<p>One year ago, San Pedro High girls volleyball reached their seventh CIF-Los Angeles City Section championship match appearance, only to get their dreams of a fifth title swept away in the Division 1 final by Sylmar.</p>
<p>The majority of the team took that defeat really hard and vowed to make it back to a championship match with another opportunity to make it count. A determined team with 13 seniors on an experienced 19-player roster did exactly that from the opening serve of the 2022 season, all the way to returning to the CIF-LACS Division 1 title tilt. This time, they finished in an impressive way on Friday.</p>
<p>Taking on top-seeded Birmingham of Lake Balboa, who were the Division 1 champions in 2020, San Pedro shook off a tough first-set loss before delivering the reserve sweep for a 18-25, 25-16, 25-17, 25-19 victory to win the CIF-LACS Division 1 championship at Cal State Northridge, avenging their bitter runner-up finish of 2021.</p>
<p>It started out with good intentions early for San Pedro (26-9 overall) with a match-opening kill from senior outside hitter Elaine Turituri coupled with a service ace from senior outside hitter Samantha Brown for an early 4-1 lead in the opening set, but the Patriots (18-14) went on a tear from there, going on a 23-14 surge to eventually win the set, grabbing the early 1-0 advantage.</p>
<p>With San Pedro trailing 8-6 in the second set, a timely block by senior middle blocker Laila Jackson started a surge that turned the match completely around for the Pirates, and it was Turituri who was the catalyst.</p>
<p>A pair of aces sandwiched in between a roll shot kill, and San Pedro took a 10-8 lead which continued to increase shortly after via a stuff block by junior setter Kalia Teofilo, a third ace from Turituri, and a viciously tooled kill off a block by senior outside hitter Jamie Roth, forcing a Birmingham timeout.</p>
<p>Teofilo's perfectly timed jump-dump down for another kill made it 14-8 before San Pedro's momentum quelled, but it wasn't stopped.</p>
<p>Two more kills and an ace from Roth, two kills from Turituri, a kill from senior opposite hitter Kaitlyn Duron and another block from Jackson got San Pedro into their first set point opportunity, which they cashed in on with Jackson's overpass kill to even the match at one victory apiece. </p>
<p>San Pedro bolted to an early 6-2 lead in the third set before Birmingham stormed back to briefly lead 7-6. A service error tied the score at 7, and the Pirates went back to work with another furious scoring rally.</p>
<p>Turituri again mounted an all-out assault with another pair of kills coupled with a second successful jumping dump down from Teofilo and yet another Jackson rejection for an 11-7 lead to force a Patriot timeout, then San Pedro just kept on coming, piling up a 21-12 advantage before Jackson's incredible fifth block of the match on set point provided the Pirates the all-important 2-1 edge.</p>
<p>Roth's thunderous kill to open off the fourth set got the Pirates off to a rousing start with the championship within reach, but they once again had to hold off the determined Patriots down the stretch. Trailing 5-2 early, it was the serving of Brown coupled with two kills and a block from junior middle blocker Sofie Valle that willed San Pedro into a 13-7 lead.</p>
<p>From that point on, the Pirates never trailed again as the combined efforts of Roth, Turituri and Duron propelled the team into the proverbial finish line. On match point, Birmingham's last attack to try to keep the match going, just sailed out at center court, and San Pedro began celebrating their hard-earned championship win with unbridled joy in their hearts. </p>
<p>Consider this as 'the redeem season'.</p>
<p>Turituri ended the night with 12 kills, 6 digs and five aces, while Roth also was spectacular with 11 kills,3 digs and 2 blocks. Jackson had a pair of kills and five blocks. Teofilo had three kills, two blocks, 19 assists and an ace, while senior libero Kennedy Kordic added an ace, 23 digs and 12 serve receptions. Duron had 4 kills and 7 digs, while Brown and senior setter Alyssa Estrada's serving was pivotal in San Pedro's run to the Division 1 championship. </p>
<p>It was a victory that was a microcosm of San Pedro putting forth their own expectations and exceeding them all.</p>
<p>Winning a third straight Marine League championship was one of those goals, winning nine straight league matches all by virtue of three-set sweeps, while in tournaments, San Pedro defeated an unprecedented four defending CIF-LACS champions from the 2021 season (Sylmar - Division 1, Eagle Rock - Division 2, North Hollywood - Division 3, GALA - Division 4) to strengthen their resume </p>
<p>In postseason play, the third-seeded Pirates eliminated Garfield of Los Angeles, league rival Carson and second-seeded Marshall of Los Angeles before overcoming the top-seeded Patriots in the title tilt.</p>
<p>Head coach Sean Zuvich, a San Pedro alumnus, won his 99th career match in five coaching seasons, with the first two coaching at nearby Mary Star Of The Sea High School, winning league championships in the last four of those years combined.</p>San Pedro High Football Clinches Perfect 2022 Regular Seasontag:sanpedronewspilot.com,2022-10-29:6389356:BlogPost:1968012022-10-29T19:00:00.000ZJamaal Kellen Streethttp://sanpedronewspilot.com/profile/JamaalKellenStreet980

<p>Just over a full century later, came the biggest battle of all.</p>
<p>The Pirates and Pilots both came in with equal 3-0 Marine League records, relatively breezing through league play before finally meeting in a highly anticipated showdown pitting the No.1 and No.2 teams in the CIF-Los Angeles City Section according to the CalPreps rankings, just like last year's battle, which the Pilots won, 48-41 at Mike Walsh Pirate Stadium in a high scoring war.</p>
<p>On this Friday night, home field advantage was switched... and so did the bragging rights in the Harbor Area once again.</p>
<p>Relying on a stingy defensive effort, and the familiar Pound-N-Ground rugged offensive style, visiting San Pedro emerged victorious with a 14-7 triumph over Banning to cap off a perfect regular season for only the third time in program history, finishing as outright and undisputed Marine League champions.</p>
<p>Few can say they can go into a postseason without a loss for the first time as coach, but San Pedro's Corey Walsh joins that elite 'few' companies of first-year head coaches that can stake that claim. Walsh also did it with one of the gutsiest decisions of the game, and maybe the entire season.</p>
<p>With 4:37 left in the fourth quarter and the Pirates clinging to the lead with a 3rd & 9 situation, Walsh called upon junior 5'8'' defensive lineman Juan Reyes to make a play with the Pilots' last attempt to even the score.</p>
<p>Reyes made Walsh look like a pure genius, sacking Banning sophomore quarterback Robert Guerrero to force a punt.</p>
<p>From there, the combination of nine runs by junior quarterback Santiago Rivera and sophomore tailback Pete Eneliko was enough to churn out yardage for three first downs, with Eneliko's 13-yard run on the game's final play sealing the deal, and giving Walsh the obligatory, unavoidable Gatorade bath.</p>
<p>After a scoreless first quarter, San Pedro drew first blood on a four-yard touchdown run by senior FB/LB Makani Konopka for a 7-0 lead on the first play of the second quarter. The defense made it stand for the remainder of the half, forcing a missed 27-yard field goal attempt, and on the Pilots' final play in the closing seconds of the half, junior WR/DB Luka Mardesich makes a crucial interception of a Guerrero pass.</p>
<p>Despite not scoring in the final 15 seconds, the Pirates maintained the one-score advantage until three minutes remained in the third quarter when Guerrero found Elijah Nuhi-Yandall for an 18-yard touchdown to tie the game at 7-7, ending an impressive 13-play, 99-yard drive.</p>
<p>Mardesich returned the ensuing kickoff 39 yards to the Banning 48-yard line, and that's when the march to regaining the lead began for San Pedro.</p>
<p>On the third play of the eventual go-ahead drive, sophomore quarterback Marcus Jeronymo, part of Walsh's two-quarterback tag team combo, found sophomore TE/LB Dylan Rubino for a 16-yard pass, with Rubino dragging Pilot defenders along with him for a crucial first-down. San Pedro then stared at a fourth-and-six from the Banning 32 on the seventh play of the possesion. Rivera makes a gutsy pass on the run, throwing off his back foot to Mardesich for an 19-yard game.</p>
<p>Immediately on the next play, Rivera runs for a 13-yard touchdown off a quarterback draw to put the Pirates on top for good with 10:37 to play in the fourth quarter.</p>
<p>San Pedro's defense, who has yet to allow 20 points in a game all season, stepped up to the challenge on Banning's next possession, forcing a three-and-out on a tackle for loss by senior linebacker Miguel Castellon. Despite punting on their next offensive series, the Pirates' forced another punt thanks to Reyes' clutch sack.</p>
<p>This victory put San Pedro ahead once again in the all-time Battle Of The Harbor series, 42-41-3 despite playing without two key players, senior running back Roman Sanchez and senior WR/DB Laron Tunupopo.</p>
<p>Both are expected to return for the CIF-Los Angeles City Section Open Division playoffs which begins on Friday, November 11. Pairings will be announced today at 4 pm. San Pedro is expected to receive the overall top seed of the division.</p>ThaWilsonBlock Magazine Issue139tag:sanpedronewspilot.com,2022-10-20:6389356:BlogPost:1970042022-10-20T01:00:00.000ZMistah Wilsonhttp://sanpedronewspilot.com/profile/thawilsonblock

<p>Taking the opening possession in stride and never losing their poise, Mary Star stormed to an early three-touchdown advantage while the defense made all the right plays in defeating visiting Viewpoint of Calabasas, 35-7 for their first victory under new coach Eli Anzoleaga.</p>
<p>The pro-style, and sometimes pistol offensive attack proved to fit junior quarterback Tony Gutierrez like a hand in glove.</p>
<p>On the first possession of the game, Gutierrez orchestrated a 10-play, 62-yard drive that consumed nearly the first five minutes of action, ending with his four-yard touchdown pass to senior WR/DB/K Cooper DiLeva for a 7-0 Stars lead with 7:02 to play in the first quarter.</p>
<p>Mary Star's defense promptly forced a three-and-out, putting Gutierrez back to work, and he only needed four plays to produce another reservation for six as he delivered a curl route strike to senior WR/DB Vincent Guerrero, who then did all the rest as he outraced the Patriots' defense down the near sideline in front of his teammates who cheered him all the way to the end zone.</p>
<p>Guerrero's 52-yard touchdown sprint proved to be an early backbreaker with 3:39 left in the opening quarter.</p>
<p>Yet, Mary Star (1-0) was far from finished.</p>
<p>After forcing another punt, Gutierrez's 18-yard screen pass to sophomore WR/DB Jarren David put the Stars' up 21-0 with 1:29 remaining, then a jarring sack by senior linebacker Armando Patino on the final play put the perfect capper to a dominant first quarter for Mary Star.</p>
<p>Viewpoint (0-1) was able to score in the second quarter taking advantage of a fumble by Mary Star sophomore TE/LB Daniel Avila on a first-down pass completion, but the defense remained airtight in keeping the Stars ahead 21-7 by halftime.</p>
<p>Once the third quarter began, a big hit from Guerrero caused a fumble, allowing senior RB/LB Jaimen David to pounce on the loose ball. The Stars were quick to capitalize and score on a four-yard run by senior RB/LB Tyrese Mingle and increase their advantage to 28-7 with 5:04 to play.</p>
<p>Gutierrez added one more to a spectacular opening afternoon by scoring on a one-yard keeper with 9:05 remaining in the fourth quarter for the final touchdown of the game,</p>
<p>For the day, Gutierrez accounted for four of the Stars' touchdowns, and Guerrero caught six passes for 107 yards, while also forcing a fumble and breaking up a couple of passes defensively. Junior RB/LB Sebastian Espindola also added a sack in the fourth quarter for the Stars, who will next host Crean Lutheran of Irvine next Friday.</p>

<p>In its first year under new head coach Corey Walsh, the Pirates were able to overcome a shaky second quarter and a slew of mind-numbing 15-yard penalties to defeat visiting St. Anthony, 33-14 in their intersectional season opener Friday at Mike Walsh Pirate Stadium.</p>
<p>San Pedro (1-0), fresh off last year's run to the CIF-Los Angeles City Section Open Division finals, started off strong on the heels of its defense.</p>
<p>Senior linebacker Makani Konopka made a crucial tackle from behind on a fourth-and-one play which was just short of the marker, forcing a Saints turnover on downs. Five plays and 46 yards later, San Pedro took a 6-0 lead on a nine-yard touchdown run from senior running back Roman Sanchez with 6:50 to play in the first quarter.</p>
<p>The defense once again made another crucial play when senior WR/FS Laron Tunupopo intercepted a deep pass over the middle and returned it 43 yards for a touchdown nearly one minute later for a 12-0 San Pedro edge, and the score remained that way at quarter's end.</p>
<p>In the second quarter, the Saints pushed back and scored twice with goal line touchdown runs by Elijah Lolesio-Pua sandwiched in between Sanchez's second touchdown run of four yards coming with 7:35 to play in the second quarter.</p>
<p>San Pedro took a 19-14 lead into halftime and opened off the third quarter engineering an eight-play, 65-yard drive that culminated with Sanchez's third rushing score of the night, another four-yard scamper into the end zone, for a 26-14 lead coming with 8:48 to play in the third quarter.</p>
<p>Despite a couple of penalties that wiped out two more touchdown runs for Sanchez of 61 & 21 yards, the defense remained firm in keeping the Saints (0-1) out of the end zone for the entire second half, as the secondary picked off two more passes, with senior WR/CB Jeremiah Robinson coming up with a clutch interception at the goal line. The Pirates then scored the game's final touchdown with Tunupopo catching an eight-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Marcus Jeronymo with 52 seconds remaining.</p>
<p>Junior WR/DB Luka Mardesich intercepted a pass on the final play of the third quarter, and the defense forced another Saints turnover on downs midway through the fourth quarter to preserve the win.</p>
<p>This game was a rematch of last year's opener, where the Pirates dominated the Saints, 42-0 at St. Pius X/St. Matthias Academy in Downey. However, the Saints and their head coach Raul Lara made a strong case for themselves that they're off to another wonderful season competing in the CIF-Southern Section.</p>
<p>Sanchez ran for 144 yards on 20 carries to power San Pedro, who will next host South Gate next Friday. The Rams won their opener, 33-20 over Dorsey of Los Angeles.</p>

<p>In the past seven years the Stars were coached by Jason Gelber, who is now at CIF-Southern Section power Servite of Anaheim as an assistant, Mary Star went through five different styles of offense, reaching the postseason four times. Now, another new change for the new season comes with a new leader in first-year coach Eli Anzoleaga.</p>
<p>And right on cue, Anzoleaga brings in yet another change in offensive scheme, a scheme the Stars are familiar with, an old school brand of attack.</p>
<p>“This season we are bringing a Pro-style offense,” Anzoleaga, who also goes by ‘Coach AZ’, says of the 2022 Stars. “This will compliment our size and skills. We are very young, but hungry for success. We know that the road ahead will have its ups and downs, and we look forward for what the future has in store for us.”</p>
<p>A tried-and-true method that hopes to serve these Stars well amidst another tough schedule, as they look to improve off a dismal 3-7 campaign in 2021, including losing all four Del Rey League games.</p>
<p>Now back in the Camino Real League, Mary Star renews its rivalry with Bishop Montgomery of Torrance on September 30 when the Stars visit the Knights. Other CRL encounters includes battles with Cantwell Sacred Heart of Montebello and Verbum Dei of Los Angeles. The Stars also have notable nonleague encounters with El Segundo, St. Monica of Santa Monica and defending Del Rey League champion Salesian of Los Angeles as well.</p>
<p>As far as returning players to watch goes, Mary Star has plenty of talent to lean on.</p>
<p>Both quarterbacks return, but Tony Gutierrez assumes the role of starter this season. Fellow junior signal caller Santiago Martinez who was the first-string quarterback last year, is now converted over to start at wide receiver.</p>
<p>Martinez will also be flanked alongside senior WR/DB Vincent Guerrero, a returning all-league selection who is a definite playmaker on both sides of the field for Mary Star. Budding sophomore RB/DB Jaimen David will also provide valuable contributions.</p>
<p>The offensive line will be tried by fire this season sporting three sophomore starters in Max Marinkovich, 6’4’’, 255-pound tackle Frankie Rivera and Koa DiBernardo. Two more sophomores who are looking to do big things for Mary Star are WR/DB Jarren David and WR/DB Luke Fajardo.</p>
<p>If there’s one name on the Stars’ roster that truly rings a bell, it’s sophomore RB/LB Jordan Barber, who’s the youngest son of Ron Barber II who starred at Banning of Wilmington, and the grandson of former San Pedro High star Ron Barber Sr.</p>
<p>Mary Star officially opens the 2022 season, their second full season with their recently updated on-campus field now with a brand-new press box, on Friday, August 19 at home against Viewpoint.</p>

<p>The 2022 high school football season is here, and San Pedro High can’t even be more excited for it.</p>
<p>Coming up one victory short of the program’s seventh CIF-Los Angeles City Section championship when it lost 24-14 to defending champion Birmingham of Lake Balboa in the Open Division final last November, the Pirates finished 10-2 after setting team passing records and touchdowns in a single season.</p>
<p>2021 also marked the end of the six-year coaching regime of Corey Miller, who chose to step down at season’s end.</p>
<p>A new era is upon San Pedro for 2022, as their season opener against St. Anthony of Long Beach at Mike Walsh Pirate Stadium on Friday, August 19 will start a new coaching realm of former Pirate player Corey Walsh, who is the son of former legendary Pirate coach Mike Walsh.</p>
<p>The energetic Walsh inherits a team that loses much of its offensive firepower from the 2021 team, but still returns several key players on both sides of the gridiron, and adds some young talent from the junior varsity team that went 6-1 last season. All of that was on display during their scrimmage this past Thursday (August 11) at Fairfax of Los Angeles.</p>
<p>San Pedro’s most heralded player coming into this season is senior 6’4’’, 255-pound tight end & defensive end Nicholas Fernandez, who has garnered 16 Division 1 scholarship offers, including two from the Pac-12, two Armed Forces offers (Army & Air Force), and three Ivy League offers.</p>
<p>Trying to fill the shoes of the graduated Aidan Jackson at quarterback, will be a tag team approach with junior Santiago Rivera, a transfer from Wilson of Los Angeles, and sophomore Marcus Jeronimo, who quarterbacked the JV team last season. Both combined to throw for three touchdowns in the scrimmage with Fairfax.</p>
<p>Jeronimo & Rivera will orchestrate a balanced offensive attack that returns Fernandez and senior running back Roman Sanchez, who will also handle punting duties. Several new offensive stalwarts enter the scene like sophomore WR/FS Luka Mardesich, junior WR/CB Robert Marnani, senior WR/DB Laron Tunupopo, & sophomore RB/LB Pete Eneliko.</p>
<p>Defensively, the Pirates were very stingy in 2021 apart from a Marine League opening 48-41 loss to eventual league champion Banning of Wilmington, pitching six shutouts, three of them against the other league adversaries.</p>
<p>Many of the top defensive studs are back, including senior linebacker Makani Konopka, an All-Marine League returner, and senior defensive end Jerry Witty, a CIF-LACS champion wrestler who led the Pirates in sacks last season. Those two along with Fernandez will anchor the defense as the secondary will have all new starters which includes Marnani and senior Matthew Lecona, who also plays wideout.</p>
<p>Both lines are among the biggest in the City Section, and the offensive line in particular, is expected to move opposing defenses back and produce critical yardage for the Pirates. All returning on the offensive line are Andrew Kirkpatrick, Aiden Acap, Jeremiah Gasca and Josiah Vargas, all seniors.</p>
<p>Other than St. Anthony, the Pirates’ 2022 schedule also has intriguing battles outside of Marine League competition, with the most critical one being on Thursday, September 1 at Mike Walsh Pirate Stadium against Venice, who won the CIF-LACS Division 1 title last season. Also, the Pirates have City Section showdowns with South Gate (August 26) & Dorsey of Los Angeles (September 16) plus another intersectional battle on the road at Torrance on September 9.</p>
<p>The annual Battle Of The Harbor showdown at Banning on October 28, if all goes well for both schools, just might be for the Marine League championship, adding to the drama of the rivalry.</p>

<p>Ninety-six years later on Saturday, May 8 at Los Angeles Valley College, the Pirates finally captured their first CIF-Los Angeles City Section championship in that sport, as they scored a team-high 392 points to outdistance themselves from runner-up Granada Hills Charter (273), Cleveland Charter (265_ and perennial power Palisades Charter (259).</p>
<p>"This marks history," San Pedro junior captain Willie Hatch III says. "The way how our team faced adversity and persevered maid hosting up that trophy such an amazing feeling."</p>
<p>This latest title in San Pedro High history makes it 62 total sports CIF-LACS championships at the third oldest school in the Los Angeles Unified School District, following up the baseball team's historic run to San Pedro's first Open Division sports crown one year ago.</p>
<p>"I feel ecstatic about this win," San Pedro swimming coach Sharon Frazier said. "This was a huge victory for our program."</p>
<p>This was also a huge breakthrough for the school after football and girls volleyball both reached CIF-LACS finals in the Fall of 2021, only to come up short as runners-up.</p>
<p>The key moment in the finals meet was the winning 200 freestyle relay team race when senior Joshua Jones, followed by the junior trio of Hatch, Max Sorich and Nick Jones stroked their way to a winning time of 1:28.1 (dropping nearly three seconds) to break their previous school record.</p>
<p>"This victory will help us promote the San Pedro High School swim team," Frazier says. "This is also an enormous win for the school (sports program) as a whole. This highlights yet another positive aspect of this wonderful community-based school."</p>
<p>The girls swimming team finished fourth in the CIF-LACS finals meet as Palisades Charter took home the girls CIF-LACS championship.</p>
<p>Hatch, Sorich, Nick Jones, senior captain Finley Kircher and senior girls captain Cate Russo represented the Pirates in the CIF State Meet on May 13-14, a d while there, the boys' quarter of Hatch, Kircher, Sorich and Nick Jones once again broke a pair of school records in the 200 and 400 relays.</p>
<p>According to Frazier, the team's success is built upon numerous factors.</p>
<p>"Most of these boys have been swimming together since they were in elementary school," Frazier says. "All these years, they have been working hard, both in the pool and outside the pool. The boys varsity swim team at San Pedro High School also has the highest grade point average of all of the spring sports in the Los Angeles Unified (School District."</p>
<p>Frazier continues: "We also have amazing parental and community support. All these factors put together made us a championship team."</p>
