THREE TO SEE
Zevi Eckhaus - QB
Eckhaus is one of the most underrated quarterbacks in
Southern California. He was an all-CIF selection as a sophomore after throwing
50 touchdown passes in 2018.
Khary Crump - DB
Crump is a baller and will lead the Centaur secondary in 2019. He had four INTs last season including this gem:
Isaiah Williams - LB
He’ll be tasked with replacing all-CIF linebacker Cortez Wright. Williams made 87 tackles in 2018.
OUTLOOK
Culver City lost A LOT of talent from its Division 7 section championship team last year, but they’ll be competitive in Division 5 because of Eckhaus. High-level quarterback play gives any team a shot.
Makai Cope, a Venice transfer, will be Eckhaus’ main target. Isaiah Williams will anchor the defense.
The Centaurs should finish second to Lawndale again in the Ocean League and then win a few playoff games.
