Former South Torrance High football player Greg Mahin, 19, turned heads at the recent U.S. Powerlifting Federation's Southern California Powerlifting Championship held at Los Alamitos Military base.
Mahin took first place in the deadlift competition in the junior-men 18-19 age group. Mahin's lift was 562.17 pounds (255 kg). He was selected the Junior Men's "Weightlifter of the Meet" for his efforts.
Mahin started weightlifting in 2007, when he was a member of the South football team. He attends El Camino College and works at Quality Seafood in Redondo Beach, but still finds time to train approximately three hours a day at the Powerhouse Gym in Torrance.

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 since 2007.
