UCSB tennis coach Davis makes good on prediction
Monday, April 20, 2009 By John Dvorak - Presidio Sports
BY BLAKE DORFMAN, PRESIDIOSPORTS.COM Marty Davis stood at the podium at last week's Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table luncheon and boldly proclaimed that his UCSB men's tennis team would win the Big West tournament despite being seeded fourth.

Trainers and a pitcher’s inspirational story highlight luncheon
Tuesday, March 24, 2009 By Blake Dorfman - Presidio Sports
BY BLAKE DORFMAN, PRESIDIOSPORTS.COM Like a car without a mechanic, an athlete just can't keep going without the help of an athletic trainer every now and then. Trainers sit on the sidelines dutifully in anticipation of an injury, major or minor, and they're always there before and after games and practices to ice, tape and stretch. Local trainers just don't get the recognition they deserve, so the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table did its part to support this deserving bunch by inviting … [Read more...]

Tuesday, March 3, 2009 By John Dvorak - Presidio Sports
By BLAKE DORFMAN, PRESIDIOSPORTS.COM Everyone was noticeably excited at Monday’s Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table Luncheon, and it wasn’t just because of the cheese enchiladas.

The trio of senior captains he brought to Harry’s is a big reason. Six-foot-3 senior Andrew Grimes is a Division-I caliber recruit, 6-4 … [Read more...]

Luncheon crowd feels the connection
Tuesday, February 17, 2009 By John Dvorak - Presidio Sports
BY BLAKE DORFMAN, PRESIDIOSPORTS.COM Sometimes we forget what a small town we live in. Monday's Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table luncheon was a reminder, because it seemed like nearly everyone in the Ranchero Room crowd was connected in some way. Carpinteria boys basketball coach John Ward brought along his son Johnny, a former Bishop Diego hoopster who now serves as his dad's assistant coach.

Monday, February 2, 2009 By Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table
By BLAKE DORFMAN, PRESIDIOSPORTS.COM Earl Warren Showgrounds was oozing girl power on Monday. Just a few days after Barack Obama signed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to ensure women equal pay for equal work, about 500 members of the community showed up for the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table's National Girls and Women in Sports Day Luncheon. "I'm looking out at stars in high school and stars in college, but I'm also looking at CEOs. I'm looking at women elected officials, and women … [Read more...]

By BLAKE DORFMAN, PRESIDIOSPORTS.COM Everybody's got dreams. Martin Luther King Jr. talked about his in front of 250,000 people in August of 1968, and Monday just so happened to be the day our nation celebrates Dr. King's legacy. Monday is also the day when Santa Barbara's athletic community gets together, and this week local coaches and a special-guest player stood at a a podium on a much smaller stage and shared some of their dreams.
