(East Los Angeles, CA) May 30, 2022 [From The Editor’s Desk]: To All of our Followers and Supporters of East L.A. Sports Scene Productions, LLC and EastLASportScene.Com, we wish everyone Good Health and Good Vibrations at this time as we bring you a new Word Press feature designed to keep you informed of the news, scores, standings, and schedules of the Teams we are presently covering. Look for this feature to appear at any given time since many of our stories and productions may take slightly longer than anticipated to publish.

We have always attempted to keep a week-long publishing time-frame limit per story, as we differ from the daily news gathering types of outlets. But due to the increase of the professional teams we have been credentialed to cover, I have had to alter the date and day of publication just a bit. As we transitioned from Cable TV to an On-Line internet outlet, from 2010 to the present, we have had the goal of publishing new stories at least once per week. Please continue to help us grow in new followers by sending our site “link” to someone you know. Thanks to All for your understanding, and many thanks for sharing our productions.¡Muchas Gracias!
