Mayor Butts Hails Rivalry as Heart & Soul of City Local high schools Morningside and Inglewood clash

By Kenneth Miller, Publisher

Last year the Inglewood/Morningside football classic was a disaster as the powerful Sentinels dismantled the hapless Monarchs, 106-0, prompting a national outcry of poor sportsmanship and an outpouring of criticism launched at Inglewood coach Mil’Von James.

The California Interscholastic Federation issued a scathing rebuke of the program, local and national newspapers opined on the shellacking, frequently ridiculing James and his football program.

Two things happened last year that should not have happened. First and foremost, Inglewood should not have scored 106 points and secondly and most critically there was no reason for the team to still have the majority of its frontline players in the game and going for two points conversions.

Some even argued if the rivalry game should have been played or if in fact it should be continued when the Inglewood-Morningside Classic

California Nov Ballot ‘22: Prop 1 Aims to Amend State Constitution to Protect Abortion Rights

By Edward Henderson | California Black Media

California voters are being asked to decide on whether or not language in the California Constitution should be changed to explicitly ensure the right to reproductive health.

Proposition 1, proposed by Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), amends the California constitution to prohibit the state from interfering with one’s right to choose to have an abortion or refuse contraceptives.

The Reproductive Privacy Act passed in 2002 guarantees these protections, however Prop 1 supporters are concerned that the act could be interpreted in a way that would put them at risk of misinterpretation and new limitations could be placed on reproductive freedom.

If Prop 1 fails to pass, the constitution won’t change and the Reproductive

Privacy Act would continue to guarantee one’s right to an abortion up to the point of viability.

“We are on the precipice of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that could topple Roe v. Wade and erode the right to abortion that was secured nearly 50 years

Message from Inglewood Unified School District

vs MHS Football Game Statement

Our District is proud of our football athletes and coaches for their hard work, dedication, and commitment this season. IUSD has exceptionally talented athletes who continuously are fine tuning their football craft and elevating their performance on and off the field. The Morningside High School Monarchs vs. the Inglewood High School Sentinels football game scheduled on Friday,

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I love that we highlight this important time of year, because this reminds us girls to get mammograms and take care of our health. For a lot of us, we have become extremely busy coming out of the pandemic. Sometimes we are moving so fast that we just don’t have an opportunity to stop and make sure that we are ok. This annual reminder is a great time to educate ourselves, and participate in early breast cancer detection. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer found in women annually. The goal of this annual Breast Cancer Awareness campaign is to raise awareness and funds to support life-saving research to save lives. So, join me in the fight against breast cancer and get tested today.

October 28, 2022, will be played with its highest level of respect, integrity and sportsmanship. We are looking forward to the game, as an opportunity to come together as family and cheer on our students.

ago -- altering reproductive freedom in America as we know it,” said Atkins in a statement made before the Supreme Court decided in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that the Constitution does not confer the right to abortion, overturning Roe v Wade and a half-century of legal precedent.

According to Akins, “[Proposition 1] would make it undeniably clear that in California, abortion and contraception are health care and are a private matter between a patient and their medical provider.

“I have seen what is at stake when people don’t have access to abortion— the real lives and real families that are at risk. In California, we are resolute in our determination to protect women and families, no matter who happens to be wielding power at the federal level,” she continued.

Current state law places some restrictions on abortions. California courts have interpreted the right to privacy so that the state can only restrict abortions when needed to meet certain state interests such as public health and safety. For example, California law requires abortion providers to be licensed.

Abortions can only be performed on a viable fetus if the pregnancy puts the health or life of the person who is pregnant at risk. Under state law, a fetus is considered viable if the fetus likely would be able to survive outside the uterus.

professor at the University of California San Francisco School of Nursing, told Bloomberg.com about the distrust and negative experiences Black Women have when it comes to medical professionals.

“The health system we have in the US isn’t functioning well for Black and brown communities. But it’s a more nuanced discussion; there are a whole lot of other things that can go wrong than just death,” she said.

“When we talk about maternal mortality, we aren’t even talking about the 50,000 near misses, [the women of all races who had] serious pregnancyrelated complications, like a hemorrhage, an infection, a C-section wound coming apart,” McLemore continued. “We’re not talking about people like Serena Williams and Beyonce who live but had trauma. Black women are less likely to be believed by their health-care providers, and they are undertreated and under-diagnosed.”

Opponents of Prop 1 believe that it is unnecessary and written so broadly that it could face years of protracted court battles to clear up the language, costing the state millions of dollars in legal fees. They raise particular concern that the measure would override state regulations that now limit abortions after the point when a fetus is viable on its own outside of the womb, at about 24 weeks of pregnancy. These late-term abortions are currently only legal if the health or life of the mother is threatened.

Should Roosevelt and Garfield which was recently played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum continue to be played?

Should Banning and Carson continue? How about Crenshaw & Dorsey?

The Inglewood/Morningside football game represents more than a scoreboard. It is a timeless tradition of two City of Inglewood high schools

which throughout the years have produced some remarkable student athletes.

Included among them are former NFL players from Inglewood such as Shaquelle Evans, Lawrence Jackson, Patrick Onwuasor, Jarvis Redwine and Benson Mayowa.

Former Morningside NFL players include Charles Jordan, Tony Blue, Jon Sutton, Alonzo Williams (Rams in 1987), Tom Reynolds and Dainard

There are some who want the rivalry to cease, but the two schools represent much more than shoulder pads, helmets and stylish uniforms.

As Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts, Jr. declared;

“The Inglewood/Morningside game is the heart and soul of our City. The game is one of honor, glory and bragging rights for the crosstown rivals.”

And for anyone who still has a pulse, that should mean something today, tomorrow and always.

Stop the Hate. Spread the Love: California Black Media Campaign Unveiled at Los Angeles Taste of Soul

By McKenzie Jackson | California Black Media

The “Stop the Hate. Spread the Love,” initiative spearheaded by California Black Media (CBM) and others, was introduced to the Los Angeles community at the 17th annual Taste of Soul Family Festival on Oct. 15.

Representatives of the campaign maintained a booth at the daylong, multicultural event that drew over 300,000 people to a two-mile stretch of Crenshaw Boulevard in South Los Angeles to celebrate the Black cultural experience – as well as the traditions of other ethnic groups -- through food, music, and art.

Brandon Brooks, CBM’s campaign project manager, said attending the festival was a good way to familiarize people with Stop the Hate and organizations that are geared toward combatting hate incidents and hate crimes in the Golden State.

“We brought together a lot of partners to give information on how to combat and address hate — outside of law enforcement,” Brooks said.

Representatives from local and state government departments including the City of Los Angeles’ Civil + Human Relations & Equity Department, the California Secretary of State, the California Department of Social Services, and the California Civil Rights Department were at the threetable booth with Brooks and CBM Executive Director Regina Wilson.

“Having those representatives on hand was a must,” Brooks said. “If you or I experience hate we might not be comfortable with calling the LAPD or sheriff’s department, so who can we actually really call,” Brooks asked rhetorically, speaking to this CBM reporter. “You can actually call the civil rights department; you can call social services. A lot of people don’t know

that. These organizations are there to be a resource or an olive branch to start that dialogue. You may need some help. That’s these organizations’ job.”

A report released by California Attorney General Rob Bonta in June revealed hate crimes inspired by racism and homophobia resulted in a 33% uptick in reported incidents in the state in 2021. Hate crimes against Blacks were the most prevalent, according to the report. There were 513 crimes committed against Blacks in 2021, 13% more than the 456 in 2020.

Becky L. Monroe, the California Civil Rights Department’s deputy director for strategic initiative and external affairs, said working to eliminate hate crimes and the attitudes and circumstances that contribute to them is about saving lives.

“It is critical that people know what their options are if they are targeted for hate and know that we can take action and that we can stop hate and spread

love,” Monroe said.

CBM is in the early stages of its Stop the Hate public information campaign. The media and advocacy organization’s goal is to publish a series of stories that educate Black Californians and state residents from other backgrounds about each other’s lives, cultures and traditions as it promotes an appreciation for diversity and fosters deeper interethnic understanding.

CBM has four events or festivals planned within the next year that promote the message of the Stop the Hate campaign.

“Regina’s goal is to really break bread and bring people together,” said Brooks, referring to CBM’s executive editor.

The initiative is funded by a joint venture of the California State Library and the California Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs. The Ethnic Media Grant

Rookie on the Right?Lost week for local sports teams

Throughout the 2022 season, we’ll be checking in with Chargers players:

Next up, is Zion Johnson.

After the Bolts selected him No. 17 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, Johnson plugged in as the team’s starting right guard and hasn’t looked back.

Here’s more from No. 77 on what the transition to the NFL has been like, communication on the offensive line, working the right side with Trey Pipkins III, and more.

You’re a few weeks into your first season in the NFL. How’s it been going for you?

The week in sports was another rough one for LA fans.

Although I predicted a Charger loss, I was hoping to see some change in the Bolts offensive schemes to prove me wrong. With one of the top quarter backs in the league (Justin Herbert), a talented running back (Austin Ekeler), and the return of Keenan Allen the Charger fan base was expecting more. The Seahawks came to town led by head coach, Pete Carrol and put an old fashion whooping on the Chargers. They led from start to finish and rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (168 yds rushing and 2 TD’s) put the game out of reach when he scattered 74 yards for a touchdown with 6:56 to play. The Chargers continue to have their typical string of bad luck with the injuries piling up. Cornerback JC Jackson went down with a significant knee injury that ended his season. Mike Williams went down late in the fourth with a high ankle sprain that will likely keep him sidelined for 2 to 5 weeks. On the bright side, Keenan Allen made his return playing sparingly in the first half. In addition, center, Corey Linsley was back in the lineup. The BYE week will do the players some good physically and mentally. The coaching staff will need to rally during the break to regroup as neither the offense nor defense played winning football on Sunday. Sitting at 4-3 and 2nd in the AFC West, the Chargers still control their own destiny with a lot of football to be played this season. It’s on to Atlanta (3-4) in two weeks.

The other LA disappointment over the weekend came in the form of a loss for the UCLA Bruins at Oregon. The Bruins haven’t won at Oregon since 2004 and haven’t beaten the Ducks in 5 seasons. The Bruins offense looked electric between the 20’s but couldn’t push the ball into the endzone. The field goals by the Bruins weren’t keeping pace with the touchdown barrage being executed by the Ducks. Oregon quarterback Bo

Johnson: We’ve gotten to experience the highs, lows, wins, and losses. And my goal has always been to learn from every experience, try to get better as fast as I can, and try to help the team win.

What is the transition like from the draft, to the offseason program, to training camp, to games?

For those of us who don’t play, how much of it is the physical transition or the mental switch?

Johnson: I’d say it’s a lot of mental. It’s a very fast transition; you’re at the draft and next thing you know, you’re here for the offseason program. You

have to learn the plays, get integrated with the team and learn to work with a new set of teammates.

Then, you get into camp and it’s live. The bullets are flying and you’re going up against other teams in joint practices, preseason, and next thing you know, you’re in the regular season.

The biggest transition is definitely mental, having to adapt and be ready at a moment’s notice. But you have a lot of support and people around you to help make that transition more seamless.

When you talk about learning and soaking up as much as you can, who on this team or maybe the line have been great resources for you?

Johnson: It’s hard to pick because they

all have. Playing next to Trey, he’s done a lot to make me feel more comfortable and help me learn to become a better player and help us jell. Corey [Linsley] is the same way; he’s played a lot of football and has a lot of knowledge. He’s a guy that you can really bounce things off of that can help you.

The same thing goes for [Matt] Feiler, he plays the same position as a guard, so even more in specifics in terms of techniques and little things you can do to tweak your game, I can go to him for things like that. Then Rashawn [Slater] and even Jamaree [Salyer], a rookie, those guys do a lot to really help.

Rams return from bye week to host 49ers in Week 8

After a week off, the Rams are back home again for the third time this month, this time hosting the 49ers in the final 2022 regular season meeting between the two teams. Kickoff from SoFi Stadium on Sunday in Inglewood, Calif. is scheduled for 1:25 p.m. pacific time on FOX.

In advance of the contest, here is your First Look at Rams-49er.

Notable 49ers additions

Traded for RB Christian McCaffrey on Oct. 20: A familiar face returns to SoFi Stadium after the 49ers sent their second, third and fourth round picks in 2023 and fifthround pick in 2024 to the Panthers in exchange for McCaffrey last week. Though McCaffrey arrived in the Bay Area on Friday, San Francisco still had enough time to put together a package of plays involving him for their Week 7 game against the Kansas City Chiefs; it will now have a full week to adjust and add to that package while preparing for the Rams. McCaffrey had eight carries for 38 yards, plus two receptions for 24 yards in his 49ers debut.

Selected RB Tyrion Davis-Price in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft: While the backfield rotation was dominated by

McCaffrey and running back Jeff Wilson Jr. last week, Davis-Price appears to be the third back in the rotation even with veteran Tevin Coleman on the active roster. When Davis-Price does line up in the backfield, the Rams should be cognizant of his speed: He

ran a 4.48-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine this spring.

Top performers in Week 7

QB Jimmy Garoppolo completed 25 of 37 passes for 303 yards with two touchdowns, one interception and one fumble lost in the 49ers’ 44-23 home loss to Chiefs.

Wilson led San Francisco’s backfield with 54 rushing yards on seven carries; followed by McCaffrey’s 38 rushing yards on eight carries.

TE George Kittle had a team-high 98 receiving yards on six catches plus one touchdown; WR Ray-Ray McCloud (four catches for 65 yards) hauled in Garoppolo’s other touchdown pass.

Defensively, CB Charvarius Ward paced the unit with 10 total tackles, while S Talanoa Hufanga snagged his third interception of the season.

On special teams, K Robbie Gould made all three of his field goal attempts and both of his extra point attempts, while P Mitch Wishnowsky had a 29-yard punt that landed inside the Chiefs’ 20-yard line.

Early storylines to watch, and what they mean for the Rams

For the Rams and the 49ers, this week is about McCaffrey, as well as the health of

By Hayley Elwood, The Chargers

Stu Jackson, Rams Staff Writer

Anything surprise you about playing in the NFL?

Johnson: I would say the process. It’s not like college where every week is pretty much the same; you play on Saturdays, for the most part, you have different game times, but your routine is really the same.

In the NFL, you could play on a Thursday and have a short week. You could play on a Monday and have a long week. There’s a lot of variation in how your process can change and how you adapt and the good teams do that really well.

And you’ve gotten a taste of that already and had games on all those days so far this season.

Johnson: Oh yeah! Absolutely. What’re you building with Trey on that right side?

Johnson: One of the things we try to stress with each other is just communication. If we’re on the same page, then we’re gonna be a lot better and more cohesive as an offensive line.

So really, just communicating, working our combination blocks together, building that trust in each other. When you have that trust with the guy next to you, it just makes things a lot more easy for you.

There’s obviously been some attrition on this offensive line throughout the season already and even in games.

What has that been like in terms of having to adapt and react, sometimes on the fly?

Johnson: I think it’s kind of a “next

man up” mentality. That quality of communication that we’re trying to have doesn’t just extend to the players [who start], but [it extends] to everyone on the offensive line. It doesn’t matter if we have someone who usually doesn’t play or someone who’s been a vet for a very long time like Corey, we try to keep that same level of communication so we can play our best level of ball.

Do you guys do o-line dinners?

Johnson: We do!

Are they fun?

Johnson: Yeah, they are. You know, offensive linemen like to eat so that’s something that we bond together doing.

What’s been your favorite meal you’ve had so far?

Johnson: We went to a steakhouse in New Orleans. That was one of the dinners we did and it went really well and the quarterbacks came, too. We just were able to talk and eat some good food.

Do you rotate on who picks the place?

Have you picked one yet?

Johnson: We rotate, but no, not yet. It’s coming.

Lastly, what are some of your goals the rest of the season?

Johnson: I mean, we just want to win. That’s the end all be all. When you look at the win column and see how many of those you have, that’s how you decide if you had a good season or not.

For me, just be putting my best foot forward in helping the team get those wins so we can reach our goals.

each team and the direction it is trending.

The Rams are no stranger to McCaffrey, of course, but this is the first full week of gameplanning the 49ers will have with their new offensive weapon, given McCaffrey arrived on Friday. Sunday’s game against the Chiefs gave a sample of how the 49ers could potentially deploy McCaffrey, but probably isn’t representative of the full scope of possibilities. That uncertainty will likely create extra work for the Rams from a defensive preparation standpoint.

As for injuries, fullback Kyle Juszczyk suffered a broken finger against the Chiefs

and will miss Sunday’s game, according to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, and likely won’t return until after their Week 9 bye. Meanwhile, wide receiver Deebo Samuel is day-to-day with a hamstring strain and linebacker Dre Greenlaw is day-to-day with a calf injury, so their statuses will be worth monitoring.

On the other hand, the Rams are getting some reinforcements with wide receiver Van Jefferson, center Brian Allen and defensive back Troy Hill all returning this week.

Collectively, they’re all interesting variables heading into Sunday’s game.

Nix (Auburn transfer) connected on 5 touchdown passes with two going to Troy Franklin. The Bruin defense could not get off the field on 3rd down. Oregon repeatedly made big play after big play on third down to extend drives. Nix complete 21 of 28 passes for 283 yards and the 5 TD’s. The Bruins place in the top 10 rankings was a short one falling from #9 to #12 behind crosstown rival USC who is now ranked at #10. The Bruins has a favorable schedule in the coming weeks and could get that win streak re-established starting as soon as this weekend when they host Stanford (3-4). Stanford just came off a big win versus Notre Dame but if the Bruins play to their potential, they will win by double digits. Pick one for Big A this week, Bruins gets back on track against Stanford with a 35 – 21 victory.

The USC Trojans are chomping at the

bit to tee off on somebody after a loss two weeks ago in Utah. The Trojans are rested and ready to tear into the Arizona Wildcats this week. Big A’s second pick of the week is USC big at Arizona 42 –17. Our beloved Lakers are 0-3 on the season and look to get their first win in Denver Wednesday night. Sadly, they just don’t match up with the Nuggets. Quite honestly, the Lakers may be well into November before they get a win. It’s going to be a long season for the Lakers if they don’t shake things up with the roster. Big A’s remaining picks for the week:

3.Rams beat the 49er’s 28 – 24

4.Eagles stay unbeaten with a win at Pittsburgh 27 – 17

5.Seahawks stay hot and knock off the Giants 31 – 28

6.Inglewood mercy rules Morningside (Did we really have to play this game?)
