<\/div>\n

One year ago today, the lbpost.com introduced a sister website dedicated solely to local athletics: LBPOSTSports.com<\/a>.  Since its debut, LBPOSTSports.com has provided up-to-the-minute scores, stats, photos and even video highlights of Long Beach’s best in action.<\/p>\n

In March 2008, J.J. Fiddler and Mike Guardabascio were brought on as managing editors, and have steered LBPOSTSports.com into becoming the City’s best source for sports news, coverage and analysis.  They have produced over a hundred highlight videos and recorded 85 online sports talk podcasts.<\/p>\n

We would like to sincerely thank and congratulate J.J., Mike, and all of the other posters who have helped make LBPOSTSports.com the best source of sports in Long Beach.<\/p>\n

Please join us in celebrating this milestone by re-visiting some of the best stories of the past year.<\/p>\n
