WILMINGTON - Call it a comeback? Nope, more like a come up.

San Pedro High football got a rude welcome into the 2019 Marine League portion of the year with a 53-0 loss to nationally ranked five-time defending CIF-Los Angeles City Section Open Division champion Narbonne of Harbor City.…

It has happened.

2018 was such a great year for San Pedro High girls volleyball, capturing their own tournament title, and even a CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division 1 championship... yet one glaring thing was missing from that resume.

A victory over Carson.

On Thursday, on one of the more gutsiest, courageous and determined efforts in program history, the host Pirates finally achieved that goal.

A final kill by junior opposite hitter Alyson Watson that just skinned over the net and off two Carson blockers while falling to the ground, was the final moment of San Pedro's incredible 25-19, 25-23, 25-21 Marine League victory, a program fulfilling one that ended the Colts' phenomenal 71-match league win streak, and also busted a 20-match losing streak to Carson dating back to San Pedro's last win in 2009, also the Pirates'…

LA PUENTE - Just another bold statement. 

Coming into this Camino Real League first place showdown at Bishop Amat of La Puente, Mary Star High girls volleyball knew their incredible start to the 2019 season would be all for naught if they couldn't take down the Lancers in their first of two meetings on Tuesday, especially with early claim to owning first place on the line.

This was a match the Stars wanted to win the most during the regular season because they knew if they did, it would be very tough to come back from in the case of the defending league champions. It was all or nothing it seemed for Mary Star, and they got it all in the form of a 15-25, 25-22, 25-23, 25-11 victory that increased their indescribable beginning where they have now won 26 out of their first 29 matches.

Early on, it looked like Bishop Amat (5-6, 3-1)…

Just one week ago, San Pedro High football had a triumphant return to its former home, Daniels Field.

What would happen on Friday in their 2019 debut at their current home Mike Walsh Pirate Stadium, was something you had to see to believe.

The defense of the Pirates have already made quite an impression in victories over North Torrance and Eagle Rock, but in the first 14 minutes of action against Taft, San Pedro would intercept five passes, returning four of them for touchdowns in what would be a historic night of monstrous proportions in a 77-7 victory over the Toreadors, setting a team record for points at Mike Walsh Pirate Stadium, eclipsing the prior record of 62 in a 62-6 victory over Jefferson of Los Angeles during the 2009 season. 

San Pedro (3-0 overall), the defending CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division 1 champion,…

For the fifth straight season under head coach Jason Gelber, Mary Star High football would adapt to a new offensive approach to their game plan.

On Friday at Daniels Field, they gave Whittier Christian of La Habra the full rundown.

The tried and true Double Wing-T offensive format isn't the most glamorous style around in these days and times where everyone prefers a fast-paced, no-huddle spread assault, but it's still pretty effective, especially on a night where the Stars controlled time of possession and gained nearly 400 total yards on the ground en route to a 45-0 victory over the visiting Heralds.

Mary Star (2-0 overall) had a plethora of options to choose from in this bunched-up offensive formation, but the three who were the most efficient are the running back trio of junior Adam Turbide and seniors Aaron Martinez and…

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 re-sodded, San Pedro would return to Daniels Field for the first time since 2000, and even the performance on the field was a little glimpse of how the Pirates of the 1990's would play during their best decade yet when they would capture four CIF-Los Angeles City Section championships in 1992, 1993, 1996 and 1997. 

For the second week in a row, the defense was staunch, and senior running back Joshua Ward would once again break loose for a long touchdown, sparking the Pirates to a 21-6 win over…

In 2018, San Pedro High girls volleyball proved to themselves they were the best in CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division 1 by winning the championship last November.

On Monday, Mary Star reminded the Pirates who was the best program in all of San Pedro.

For the second time in four years, the visiting Stars took it to the Pirates in many facets during a convincing 25-14, 25-13, 25-13 victory to further cement their status as the top prep girls volleyball program in San Pedro, California. The Stars (4-2 overall) only trailed twice the entire night and found newer ways to win with their overall team depth to enhance team harmony against a San Pedro team that was making their 2019 debut.

Mary Star defeated San Pedro in four sets the prior meeting in 2016 which was played in front of a standing room only crowd at Mary Star…

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 host Saxons was the complete opposite, at least for the final score.

Last year's CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division 1 Player Of The Year, senior RB/LB Joshua Ward would pick up right where he left off from his remarkable playoff run... and run he did, for electrifying first half touchdowns of 65 and 50 yards to spark the Pirates to a 25-0 victory over North Torrance. It was the defense that brought it for all four quarters in what was a convincing performance on that side of the…
