The high school basketball playoffs begin on Wednesday throughout the Southland, and there's no doubt what should be the best opening matchuip in the City Section: San Pedro at Washington Prep. No. 5-seeded San Pedro (22-6) won the Marine League title and has a veteran team under coach John Bobich. No. 4-seeded Washington Prep (17-11) won the Coliseum League title has the City Section's leading scorer in Jayshawn Kibble, who's averaging 28 points a game.
A woman reportedly drove the wrong way on the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro late Saturday and crashed into a car carrying five people including a baby. The suspect, who was driving a white SUV eastbound in the westbound lanes of the bridge, was arrested at the scene. A witness near the incident said the vehicle that was struck carried four adults and a child, according to ABC7, and one person was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
