Eric Sondheimer has been covering high school sports for the Los Angeles Times since 1997 and in Southern California since 1976. City Section HOF 2019.
- Friday night in L.A.: Game 1 World Series, Yankees vs. Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. Lakers-Suns at Crypt. USC-Rutgers at Coliseum. Concert at Intuit Dome. Roosevelt-Garfield at SoFi Stadium. St. John Bosco-Mater Dei at Santa Ana Stadium. Pray for every driver.
- Tyson Chandler and Tayshaun Prince at Compton Dominguez.
- Stunning news: LaVar Ball said he is pulling junior LaMelo from Chino Hills and will home-school him the next two years and train him.
- After 96 years, my father has passed. Carl Sondheimer. He enjoyed life to the very end. Thrived on independence. Escaped the Nazis, served in the Korean War, spent 40 years working in aerospace. He showed how to always get back up when things didn't go as expected. RIP.
- LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball Lithuanian jerseys sell out in less than a day latimes.com/sports/more/la…
- LeBron has arrived at King/Drew. King/Drew coach Lloyd Webster is good photographer.
- UCLA coach Chip Kelly said, "I would recommend kids play as many sports as they can."
- Ryan Hilinski. South Carolina over Georgia. We know who he’s communicating with.
- Pretty amazing Joe Davis is just 34 years old. He’s already the best broadcaster. Period. Dodgers are so lucky to have him.
- Turned 93 today. Escaped Nazi Germany as a child. Lived in Lithuania and China during WWII. Came to America in 1947 at 21. Korean War Veteran. Still going on cruises. Toughest person I know. My father.
- So Oregon proved it has more good players from Los Angeles than USC.
- Gail Goodrich scored 29 points in 1961 City final for Poly High. He scored 42 points for UCLA in 1965 NCAA final. He led the Lakers in scoring during the NBA championship year of 1971-72. Los Angeles sports legend. 82 years old and humble as ever.
00:00 - Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit died this morning at Santa Anita on the track. Could be sudden death. Siren went off as horses were working out. Horse emergency van went out right past the finish line. Very sad.
