GARDENA - It may not have been pretty, but San Pedro High football was able to rest their starters for the majority of the second half as they defeated host Gardena, 42-7 in Marine League competition Thursday.

PANORAMA CITY - What a difference a year makes.

The Mary Star High girls volleyball team truly has come a long way, from going 2-14 in 2013... to now being one game away from a 17th Star in their…

My Rooney thoughts for October 26, 2014

Well, it’s happened again, here in the Northwest.  In Marysville, Washington at a local high school a distraught and misguided young man walked into the school cafeteria with a .40 caliber handgun and killed the girl who had refused his amorous advances.  Additionally, he wounded two others students before turning the gun on himself.  It’s a tragedy that’s being played out way too often, not only in Washington but all over the…

Mary Star High football continued to fight hard through their youth, injuries and other viable pieces to their puzzle of a troubling 0-7 start to their 2014 season, an all signs potentially pointed to another agonizing defeat with an above-average Flintridge Prep of La Canada team coming to face them in a…

It was finally time for San Pedro High football to get a little break for a change after engaging in two hard-fought battles in the Marine League against Narbonne of Harbor City and Banning of Wilmington.

My Rooney thoughts for October 19, 2014

It never fails!  Some weeks ago when the press began reporting the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, our government went to great lengths to assure the American people Ebola won’t reach our shores.  WRONG!

Suddenly, Ebola was present in America, in Dallas, Texas.  (Apparently Ebola didn’t affect the Dallas Cowboys who went to Seattle and taught the Northwest who still is the toughest state in the Union.)  And, our…

So far, not much unnerves the San Pedro High football team.

Not a last-minute loss to Narbonne of Harbor City, and especially not a fierce, determined challenge from Harbor Area neighbor Banning of Wilmington in front of an…

No one saw this coming... but San Pedro High girls volleyball made sure they all believe it happened.

The gym was abuzz with uncontrollable excitement the second the ball fell harmlessly to the floor after a vicious kill by…

John Wood, a writer and former magazine editor, served in Vietnam in 1967 and has published an ebook about his unusual experiences there:Saigon Tease: So, What Did You Do in Nam, Dad? (Amazon Kindle).

"Catch-22" was the first classic farce about American military life. "M*A*S*H," set later during the Korean War, continued that tradition.…

(LONG B EACH --- Oct. 6) --- "Do you want to be a navigator or a 'naviguesser,'?" asks Doug Conwell, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary instructor who'll be teaching a coastal-navigation course starting Oct. 16 in Los Alamitos.

The nine-week course, called Weekend Navigator, will teach boaters how to plot courses, how to find out where you are on the water, how to use a compass to take bearings, how to use a global-positioning satellite (GPS) device, and many other nautical…

            (Well, I’m back.  Took some time off to complete a book of short stories and published it on Amazon.  In case you would like to read it, the title is Shadows In Our Lives: A Collection of Short Stories.  It is available at Amazon.com and I used my pen name Thomas William Irons.  Buy it today, while it’s still on sale.)

LOS ANGELES - The San Pedro High football team knew full well coming in to Fairfax High School that the Lions were going to be ready for them.
