This is the first full week of prep and college sports on the South Coast. The week kicks off with the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table press luncheon on Monday at Harry's Plaza Cafe.
Former UCSB soccer player Gene Deering begins his two-year term as president of the Athletic Round Table, an all-volunteer group that supports the local high school and college athletic programs and their student athletes.
Deering played forward on the UCSB soccer team that won the program's first NCAA Division 1 Tournament game in 2002 and was first-round winner in 2003. He turned to road running after college and is a member of the Santa Barbara Athletic Association. He is a past president of the Santa Barbara Semana Nautica Association.
Deering works for Radius Commercial Real Estate and Investments.
In other action this week: Carpinteria kicks off its football season with a home game against Santa Ynez on Friday night, and SBCC plays its football opener on Saturday against Ventura at La Playa Stadium.
