The home jerseys were brand new for San Pedro High football as they continue building for the future, but for their 2019 home opener and nonleague showdown with visiting Eagle Rock, the Pirates, on a true 'Throwback Thursday' moment, would give the fans a treat by going back to the past.

Due to the on-campus Mike Walsh Pirate Stadium grass being…

TORRANCE - A much more likable result to begin a new high school football season.

In the 2018 season opener for San Pedro High football, penalties impeded progress for the Pirates and was the deciding factor in keeping them out of the end zone during an eventual 7-6 home loss to North High of Torrance. The 2019 opener on Friday in a rematch with the…

Is this the Daniels Field swan song for all of San Pedro Prep Football?

There's a new addition to the Taper Avenue campus of Mary Star Of The Sea High School. Lo and behold, there's a football scoreboard across the way of the basketball/volleyball gymnasium. Yes indeed, plans are in place for an on-campus football field that will make its rounds but…

No one truly anticipated the 2018 San Pedro High football going the way it did.

Typically, San Pedro would start off strong in their first five games of 2018, and then the Pirates hit a tailspin of losing their next four before finally closing the regular season strong with a victory over Gardena… their only Marine League victory.

Still,…

It's that time of year again...

The 2019 Prep Football season is rapidly approaching, and the schedules are now officially in for the San Pedro & Mary Star Of The Sea High School football teams, as both look to improve off their 2018 campaigns.

San…

Saturday, November 24, 2018 capped off what was a comeback year for all of San Pedro Prep Football.

The San Pedro High football team had a turbulent regular season, but the end made it all worth it when they held off Dorsey of Los Angeles, 22-20 at El Camino College for their sixth CIF-Los Angeles City Section (Division 1) championship, which is their…

It is something that few high schools get to celebrate in a single month.

There are many schools in the CIF-Southern Section who have this distinction of both their football and girls volleyball teams winning a section championship, and it doesn't happen often in the CIF-Los Angeles City Section.

November 2018 was one of those times where…

The toughest regular season San Pedro High football endured not only ended with a CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division 1 championship... it also ended with the most ever All-City selections from ANY team in school history. It also ended taking home the two major awards to boot.

Junior RB/LB Joshua Ward stepped his game up throughout the Pirates'…

TORRANCE - With nine games in the books for the 2018 season, San Pedro High football was mired in a four-game losing streak with a 3-6 record, wondering how they would turn their season around.

A month and five straight victories later... the Pirates are feeling like they're on top of the world.

It wasn't easy, but sixth-seeded San Pedro thwarted a…

Inconceivable, yet believable.

2018 was not the greatest of regular seasons for San Pedro High football, as they walked into the CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division 1 playoffs as the sixth seed with a 4-6 record, just ending a four-game losing streak with a 28-6 victory at Gardena for the first and only Marine League victory on October…

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…

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…

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…

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…

In early July 2013 I took on the role of a sports columnist for San Pedro Today magazine, and since then, I have seen a rise of spectacular student athletes and special teams that have made my hometown a beautiful place to live. Some teams stood out more than others, even if they brought home a CIF championship or not.

San Pedro, Port Of Los Angeles and Mary…

San Pedro High football had a great day on Wednesday, as three from their 2018 senior class would sign national letters of intent to further their academic and athletic careers through collegiate football.

Marine League All-Purpose Player Of The Year for 2017 and All-City first team defensive back…

The 2017 San Pedro Prep Football season ended without a single postseason victory, but there was still plenty of excitement involved.

None more bigger than what took place on September 22 in Torrance.

After 36 years of torture, the Mary Star High football team finally conquered Bishop Montgomery with a 28-27 victory over the Knights for their first victory in…

The San Pedro High football team had a rough Marine League stretch during the 2017 season but they came out of it victorious in their final game on November 3, a 35-0 victory over host Washington Prep of Los Angeles to finish 5-5 overall, 2-3 in league play.…
