OK, when the football schedules came out, who else thought the Banning-San Pedro football game on Halloween Night was going to be an issue?

Apparently the San Pedro High administration.

The Pirates have decided to move the game to Thursday, Oct. 30 at San Pedro due to "safety" concerns, according to the San Pedro administration.

Was this a good move by San Pedro? Would there be issues if this game was on Halloween? Or do you think there will still be issues on Oct. 30? Discuss.

Tony,
I want to thank you for having this blog/prep site for everyone in the South Bay. As an ex-coach and teacher at San Pedro High School, the game through memos at our school was moved because it is on the same date or close to it of the unfortunate killing of Laterian Tasby who was a much loved member of the football team at San Pedro High last year. This is the reason the game was moved. This is still and will remain a highly emotional issue in our community.
Thank you for your respect in this matter.
Domenic Costa
