Sister City

Exchanges

Planned

Culver City is sending 10 stu-

dents from the Culver City area who are in

the 9th, 10th or 11th grades to its Sister

City of Iksan City, South Korea from July

27 to August 7. The students will stay with

Korean families that have a child of simi-

lar age and sex.

Culver City area students who

are selected to participate may attend

either public or private schools. It is also

important that participating students

exhibit good citizenship characteristics

since they will be representing Culver

City.

The Committee is also seeking

10 families from the Culver City area to

host a Japanese child in their home from

the Sister City of Kaizuka, Japan from

July 24 to August 2. Participating Culver

City host families should have a child who

is in the 7th, 8th or 9th grade. The hosting

families' children will be matched with par-

ticipating Japanese students of similar

age and sex.

If you are interested in participat-

ing in either student exchange program,

please e-mail the Sister City Committee

President, Kathleen McCann at ccsccmc-

cann@gmail.com. She will advise you

when student/parent briefings will be

scheduled for distributing applications

and detailed information.

never run for this office.



Thanks for letting me clarify.

ience and control. AT&T U-verse TV ranked "Highest in Customer Satisfaction in the

Outlaws - Western Grub for the Cowboy in You

Since there oughta be a law against slabs of meat this big on plates this wide with round-

up meals piled up this high...they just had to call it “Outlaws.” The portions are worthy

of Texas, the atmosphere like swinging through them doors into the saloon and the food

worth lickin’ your fingertips after.

It’s an easy, comfortable spot for a meal and then some with later evening hours for those

nights when you work it past sunset. Come hungry, feel welcome, leave satisfied.

For the simple folks, a burger and fries would do well to whet the appetite, but for those

cowboys and cowgirls who may be interested in something a little more special can get

down-home style barbecue chicken or a fat 16oz porterhouse with their delicious cottage

fries and grilled veggies. Truly a different kind of dining experience, Outlaws may be a

vegan hell, but it’s a meat eaters heaven.

toast drenched with butter and the signature Green Goddess Dressing. The bread hits

is a selection of old school appetizers including nachos, fried calamari, potato skins,

SPORTS

Culver Playoff Berths Uncertain

Boys, Girls Lose

To Santa Monica

By Dale Williams

Observer Reporter



The Culver City High boys' and girls' basketball teams entered this week's

final regular-season games with the chance to make the CIF playoffs but losses to

Santa Monica Tuesday night made the task more difficult.

The girls' team probably had the best chance to get to the postseason,

with a 14-11 overall record and 4-4 Ocean League mark entering the week before

losing to Santa Monica, 73-52. The Centaurs were in fourth place in league, behind

Inglewood, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills.

Culver City is scheduled to play Beverly Hills to wrap up the regular sea-

son..

Even if the Centaurs didn't finish in the top three in league, they still had a

good shot at grabbing an at-large spot.

"We're starting to really play well right now," Culver City girls' coach Jack

Nakanishi said. "We're starting to jell, and I think this is the right time to do that."

Last week, the girls' team went 1-1, defeating Morningside 53-37 and los-

ing to Inglewood 63-49.

Savannah Erskine scored 18 points to lead the Centaurs in the win over

Morningside. Erskine also led Culver City with 16 points against Inglewood.

The Culver City boys' team entered this week with an 8-16 overall record

and a 2-6 Ocean League mark, but while the Centaurs won't finish in the top three

in league they still have a shot at getting one of the 12 or so at-large berths for the

CIF playoffs.

Last week, Culver City lost to Morningside 58-49 and Inglewood 74-53 and

were routed Tuesday by Santa Monica, 63-29.

"Mathematically, we can't get an automatic bid into the playoffs, but we will

still submit an at-large petition," Centaurs coach Jonathan Chapman said. "As I

look at our Division, III-AA, the way it works is that you have a number of automatic

entries, which makes up top 20, anyone not in that can turn in at-large petition.

"Our strength of schedule will have us in the playoff mix. We've played bet-

ter than our record indicates. We've hung tough in most of our games, and there's

several games we had a chance to win but didn't."

Cameron Darby scored 20 points to lead the Centaurs against

Morningside, and Darby again led the way with 15 points against Inglewood, while

Derek Farrar had 12 points and Isaiah Gathright-Hawkins added 11.

Culver City High junior guard Alexandria Lewis drives the lane against

Inglewood. She leads the Lady Centaurs in scoring-averaging 11.4 points

per game and is shooting 51 per cent from the floor including her three-point

shots. Lewis is second on the team in assists and steals.
