LAKE BALBOA - The 2018 San Pedro High girls volleyball team weathered every storm that was cast upon them, and would counter by bringing about a storm of their own.

Before the season even began, the Pirates lost four players to grade cuts for the first ten weeks of the season. All four All-Marine League players from the previous 2017 season, was gone to either…

It’s that time of year when people with Medicare review their health insurance choices and enroll in a Medicare Advantage or Prescription Drug plan for the coming year.

People typically have a lot of questions as they research their Medicare options, which primarily include Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, before finding the plan that best fits their…

Unless and until we return the policing of Los Angeles to the people and its police chief we are doomed to continue the degradation and downward spiral in the “Quality of Life” we are experiencing here in San Pedro and across most of LAPD’s jurisdiction.

Most people today have forgotten that prior to 1992 the LAPD Chief of Police had open-ended tenure…

Although Mary Star Of The Sea High School is still pursuing its first-ever CIF-Southern Section sports team championship in its 64-year history, they were given the next best thing by the section last week.

Mary Star was one of four schools, and the only South Bay school, that was honored by the CIF-SS with a Jim Staunton Champions For Character award for the 2018 year…

Not settling for anything less knowing that the bigger picture is still in front of them, San Pedro High girls volleyball wasted no time, breaths, or in this case, sets on Saturday as they won their second San Pedro Invitational Tournament championship in three years.

Six matches, ten sets, 150 points, all coming up on the winning side for the streaking…

TORRANCE - The first half looked like host South High of Torrance was closing in on their first victory of the 2018 season and even the public address announcer had a freudian slip saying 'at halftime, the final score is...' when the Spartans held a 13-3 lead over visiting Mary Star.

The Stars, however, had other plans in mind for the final outcome.

Even losing…

Drama certainly seems to follow San Pedro High girls volleyball whenever they take on Narbonne of Harbor City in the Marine League... no matter where the two neighboring schools get it on.

For the fifth time since 2015, San Pedro and Narbonne went the distance, and just like the previous four, it was the Pirates who would come out on top with a spectacular 33-35,…

It was closer than Mary Star High football would have liked, but they'll gladly take the final result.

By virtue of their tense 31-25 victory over visiting Fairmont Prep of Anaheim, the Stars improve to 2-0 in the still fresh and young 2018 season, a very good starting point for a team itching to get…

The 2017 San Pedro Prep Girls Volleyball season was paced by San Pedro High making the inaugural CIF-Los Angeles City Section Open Division playoffs, which automatically qualified them for the CIF State Southern California Regional playoffs.

Health benefits can be confusing to navigate, particularly as you become eligible for additional support services. While most Americans 65 and older—or those who qualify due to disability—are eligible for Medicare, some may also be eligible for MediCal, California’s Medicaid program, based primarily on financial need. Individuals who fit into both categories are known as dual eligible, according to the Centers for Medicare…

VALLEY GLEN - It was a rough start for San Pedro High football in the San Fernando Valley.

Probably still reeling from a 7-6 loss to North Torrance in their 2018 season opener on August 17, host Grant of Van Nuys would be on the offensive for the first 7:42 of the game in taking a 12-7 lead, with the lone seven being a 73-yard kickoff return from San Pedro senior wide…

If you currently have Medicare, or if you will soon become eligible for Medicare, prescription drug benefits should be an important part of your decision-making when it comes to choosing among various Medicare coverage options. 

It’s important to know that Original Medicare provides very little prescription drug coverage. Therefore, if you are eligible for Medicare and want drug coverage, you will…

It is now the fourth year of the era of head coach Jason Gelber at Mary Star Of The Sea High School, and the football team has had enough of the bad luck and circumstances that have haunted them the last couple of years.

The 2016 and 2017 seasons both ended with the Stars finishing 6-4 in the regular…

For only the second time since 1990, the San Pedro High School football team endured a losing season in 2017.

Splitting the ten-game regular season in half with an even 5-5 record, but finishing fourth in the Marine League at 2-3 for the first time since 2007, the Pirates would be promptly eliminated in the first round (quarterfinals) of the inaugural CIF-Los Angeles…
