For the second consecutive year, the Long Beach Century Club and Smooth’s Sports Bar & Grille took the time to honor the city’s finest high school teams and athletes in a way that the teens will never forget.  The Parade of Champions shines a light on all of the national, state and CIF title-winners of the 2007-08 school year, in a way that must be uniquely Long Beach – no other city in America can possibly boast similar accomplishments in just one year.<\/p>\n
