If you are looking for a star sighting, this might be your ticket.

Four-time Olympic champion Lisa Leslie will return to her alma mater at Morningside to help unveil a refurbished basketball court on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. It is part of Toyota's Project Rebound that has 20 projects planned throughout the year.

Leslie, the pride of Morningside High and USC, will be joined by Sparks and Olympic teammates Candace Parker and DeLisha Milton-Jones, Sparks coach and former Laker star Michael Cooper, Sparks co-owner Carla Christofferson and WNBA legend Jennifer Azzi.

Who knows, maybe Leslie will bring her four Olympic gold medals.

Ciniglio graduated from Malibu High (home of the mighty Sharks) in 1997 as part of the school's second graduating class before attending powerhouse Pepperdine (Class of 2001), thus shattering any reader's preconceived notion that he has any personal bias when it comes to South Bay Preps.

Dave Thorpe

Dave Thorpe was a self-proclaimed, slightly above average baseball player back in the day at Torrance's West High, who went on and had an unspectacular, injury-riddled stint as a third baseman at El Camino College. Trading bat for pen, Thorpe wrote sports for the Long Beach Union newspaper at Long Beach State University, then worked as the sports editor for the Palos Verdes Peninsula News for seven years before climbing down the Hill to the Daily Breeze, where he has been a sports writer covering local sports for more than two years.
