Your host
Eric Sondheimer has been covering high school sports in Southern California for more than 40 years, as the prep sports columnist for the Los Angeles Times and elsewhere. He’s written about high school athletes such as John Elway, Giancarlo Stanton, Bret Saberhagen, Don MacLean, Jordin Canada and LaMelo Ball — there are so many great athletes to cover and stories to tell. Eric is too modest to mention it himself, but he has been honored seven times by the California Prep Sportswriters Assn. for best prep sports column.
