Three Culver City High School seniors--twins Carlos and Raul Pena and Gary Filtzanidis--have been awarded commendations by the Culver City Council for being among the nation’s top junior soccer players.
All were members of the Culver-Palisades II team of boys under 19 that finished second in the U. S. Youth Soccer Assn. championships last summer and each was selected to the U. S. junior national team.
